This weekend, I saw a blog with some cute ideas for Halloween and I came across a shirt that a lady had made for her little girl. She took a blown up copy of a picture of some halloween material and and cut out the skeleton and ghost from it and cut it out with white material, sewed it onto a black shirt and added a bow to it. Super Cute! Well, since I can't sew I decided to do the same thing, but paint it on a shirt instead and this is the final product! I am so excited about it and I think it will be great for Addison to wear this next month.

South Plains Fair 2011

We had another great year at the fair. Addison was very very excited about going on the rides this year. She was pretty timid last year about getting on the rides, except for the carousel, but not this time a round. We did the carousel, along with 2 other kiddie rides that she had no problem going on by herself. We also decided that this year we would venture and do a family ride with the ferris wheel. I thought for sure that she would feel a little nervous once we got on and got moving, but she kept saying "when is it going to go faster". I think she is over her toddler fears! She even said she wanted to go on the bungee cord ride that you have to pay about $50 dollars to ride..lol! Crazy girl, I think not! As usual, she loved to see the animals and pet as many as she could and we enjoyed some of the great fair food. It was a little hot,but overall it was a great Sunday afternoon at the fair!

Addison's Favs

Addison gets quite excited when she hears this song coming on.  She starts to wiggle and as fast as can, will try and sing along with the song. 

With this bundle of joy, Addison now will randomly shout out "BLUBBER, MUCLUCKS, GAZEBO" It is the funniest thing and very very odd!

And we just think it is too cute that our daughter already has an interest in great musical talents such as the Roots.  Thank you Nick Jr for showing children's music videos!

This last song, is just the sweetest little children's song and when we are in the car, Addison sings it over and over.  Love It!

Remember, Horses, and Apples

We had a wonderful weekend. We started out with a trip over to Bryan Kastman park where they have a tribute every year to 9/11. It is such a neat sight to see all of the flags displayed. Addison walked over and said over and over again "Holey Moley, look at all of those flags". She was in awe! As of right now, we do not feel it is the right time to talk to Addison about what happened because she would not understand, but we want her to be aware that we will always try and make an effort to show her the beautiful tribute that our city gives to all who have been affected by that horrible day.

On Saturday, we took Addison downtown to see The Parade of the Horses.  With the Cowboy Symposium here for the weekend, they begin this event with a parade of many horses, cowboys, and cowgirls that take persetional through downtown and down to the Civic Center where the symposium would begin.  Addison LOVED the parade. She was most excited at the end when she say her "favorite cowboy" of all....THE MASKED RIDER! It was a great morning to go and we were so glad to start another new tradition for our family.

The last part of our weekend, ended in Idalou at Apple Country Orchards where they held their annual Apple Butter Festival.  We attempted to pet some sheep and goats (though they were a little spooked by the live music next to their pins), had a delicious apple turnover, Addison had her face painted, walked around the orchard and picked some apples, waited in line for the hayride just in time for the rain to start pouring.  We were quite wet by the end of the event, but we had fun and Addison loved getting drenched by the rain.

Beautiful Dreary Weather

We had a wonderful day on Sunday with the "fall" weather. Leaves were blowing, the temperature was in the low 70s and the small of rain went on throughout the day. It was absolutely beautiful and so nice to be able to enjoy the outdoors without sweating and feeling like you are going to pass out from heat exhaustion. We took Addison to the park after dinner to feed her "lucy goosey" and to have some fun on the playground. Perfect!

Time for a Cookout

We headed out this Saturday afternoon to Thomas' yearly Honors College Cookout! This was fun because we were able to help Thomas in the morning get ready for the cookout by running errands with him and trucking all of the food over to the dorm. Addison, as usual, was a big hit with the students. She was very social with them. She had to talk about her new school, her boots, and show anyone and everyone how she can run and jump. LOL When we left she was so sad and told me that she wanted to spend more time with Daddy's students. We absolutely love being able to go and do these great events for Thomas' work because it just means more time to spend with Daddy! The day ended perfectly with a 50-10 winning score against Texas State. GO TECH! Can't wait for next year!
