Our Weekly Past Time

Every week Thomas, unfortunately, has to mow the lawn. I decided to bring Addison out to see how she would react to the low lawn mower. SInce she does not have any problems with the vacuum or hair dryer, I thought this was the next loud to object to introduce her to. Well, she definitely has had no problems with it. We are actually going out every week when Thomas is in the back and we sit on the chair and watch him. Addison waves, laughs, and smiles at her Daddy and I think Daddy gets a kick out of it too....plus it distracts Daddy from the horrible job he is having to do! It is so fun to watch and I look forward to doing it every week.

My Favorite Pictures from our Trip

The Cliff Notes on Canada

We had so much fun in Canada this past week! We saw lots of beautiful scenery and had lots of great family time. I did not think that you all needed to hear all the details of our trip so I thought I would would briefly share some of our excitement with pictures.




In this picture you see our sweet baby sound asleep! That was how it was for every plane ride that we had. She would fall asleep even before the plane took off and then would wake up with only a small amount of time to go. She was awesome and almost everyone on every plane ride said the same thing, "We didn't even know there was a baby on the plane" and "She did so good"! We were extremely proud.










We had a lot of wonderful family time. We enjoyed and not enjoyed having all three of us sleeping in the same room everywhere we went. We did a lot of holding hands, all three of us, helping our sweet baby walk all over. We enjoyed a nice warm swim in a heated pool outside with very cold weather (Addison loved that). We had a lot of good laughs and a lot of new experiences together.

We saw many beautiful things in Canada from the beautiful Mountains on the drives, the sites from the top of the mountains when we took the Gondolas, wonderful waterfalls from snow melting off of the tops of the Mountains, glaciers, and lakes.






As you can see here, we had to keep very warm while we were up in the mountains and on the glacier. We bought Addison an awesome snow cap or Tuk as they call it up there, mittens, and a nice warm hoodie. We also bought ourselves a hoodie. We really enjoyed the cold weather and Addison really loved wearing her new attire!

(This was Addison's face alot of the time! Everytime she saw something new or neat, she would say OOOO)




Thank you so much Mom and Dad (aka Nana and Grandpa) for the amazing trip!! We loved every moment of it. We really had a great time and we loved having this special trip with you! We/Addison will have such great memories of this.

Oh Canada!

Well, today we are leaving for our grand adventure to Canada. We will be driving to Midland this afternoon to drop off Finn and Mally, then on Saturday we will fly into Houston. Sunday we will fy from Houston to Calgary. We are really excited about this trip, but at the same time we are really nervous and a little stressed about it. This is the longest trip away from home for Addison and it will be the first time to be on an airplane, as well. Mommy and Daddy have had to pack a ginormas amount of stuff for this sweet baby. We have 3 suitcases, a pack n'play, an umbrella stroller, a diaper bag, and 2 carry ons. We hope that we have everything that we need and pray that everything goes smoothly at the airport (seeing as how I have to bring on milk, juice, and food).
Wish us luck and we will have many photos in the upcoming weeks on our picassa webstie for sure and we will probably highlight some pictures on our blogs!

Much Love!

Perfect Swirl

So I know that this blog is very random, but I thought it was too cute not to share with everyone.

So, today Addison and I came back from our Mommy and Me swim lessons and decided that we would play outside a little longer before I gave her a bath. While she was crawling around and playing at her water table I noticed the back of her hair had a perfect little swirl in it. Her hair has been getting curlier every day, but it normally curls and flips out...but not today. So Fun!

Our little bookworm

Addison has been so excited about looking at her variety of books and handing them to us to read to her. She has learned how to turn the pages independently, she has began to anticipate things that are going to happen in familiar books, and will make "comments" on the pictures. She has become very excited over a certain 2 books that Thomas and I have been reading to her lately. The books allow you to be very animated and she will just smile and look at us with excitement when we get to certain parts. She has even begun to turn the pages back to find her favorite parts that she enjoys hearing. (Needless to say I think she is really taking after her Daddy...which he is so excited for. ) These books, I think,would be great gifts to give or if you have a little one of yourown, definitely consider going out and getting them. Both authors also have other great books.

My Little Helper

Ever since Addison has been born, the cleaning that has occured in my house has become minimal and more spread out. It is very very tough to clean a house when an infant is needing your assistance at almost all parts of the day. The parts that are not taken up by their time is often spent trying to take care of your needs such as: sleep, shower, eat, and don't forget work. I have struggled and struggled to find just the right time to squeeze some house cleaning. Well, I no longer have to worry about getting my chores around the house done alone, because I now have a special helper who is a hard worker and never complains about work that is given to her. Here are some pictures of her doing some laundry, cleaning the bathroom, and doing the dishes.

Much Love!
