Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6

Happy 1st Birthday Addison!

Addison, We love you so much! It has been a QUICK year but a wonderful year! You are absolutely the sweetest girl! I could just eat you up! Here are a few pictures to highlight your first year! We waited and waited for you to come but when you did you came quick! I only pushed 4 times for a total of 3 minutes and you were hear crying...little did we know you would soon earn the nickname "scream"!


I fell absolutely head over heels in love with you the moment I saw you...everyone did! You had that Daddy of yours wrapped around that sweet little finger of yours from moment he laid eyes on you!

We made a promise to you and to God that we would raise you to know Jesus as your Lord and Savior and I pray daily that you will when the time is right!


So sweet!

December was a busy month. A couple of days after Christmas we headed to Mimi and PopPop's house in Florida! You had a great time! We look some pictures in a garden and you loved it!






This is Christmas morning! Santa brought you this ADORABLE stroller. You look so small in it then!





February 4th your Grandpa passed away! Let me tell you...he ADORED you...everything about you! I'm sad you won't know him better but I want you to know that he loved you...A LOT!





When Grandpa passed away you got to meet his side of the family! They just adored you to...everyone does!








In March it snowed so I took you out and bundled you up with me to keep you warm...infact when we came in you were hot! You didn't like it much but I know this year you will!


In May we headed to the zoo! Everywhere we go people tell me how gorgeous you are! They're right...if they only knew how sweet you are too!



You made your first trip to the Outer Banks! You LOVED everything about the beach! You also learned to crawl this week! Once you learned to crawl you were and still are everywhere!




I love this picture of Great Grandma with all her Grandchildren and Great Grandchildren!





Happy Birthday sweet girl!
Oh Addison, the things I want to teach you! I can't wait to continue to tell you how much Jesus loves you and how you were fearfully and wonderfully made just for us! What a precious gift you are! I'm thankful that I'm your Mommy and I hope one day when you're all grown up that we'll be best friends! I wish I could slow time down! While I can't wait to see the great things you'll do...I'm just loving watching you grow! Mommy, Daddy and Caden just adore and love you more than words can express...everyone does!

Lazy 5 Ranch

Today Caden and I took a trip to the Lazy 5 Ranch! We had a blast. Addison stayed behind with my friend Kristin! What a lifesaver! It was hot...I mean REALLY hot! She would not have had fun! (Believe it or not Scream did NOT scream once today! She sure did have fun with Eli and Knox!) Caden and I on the wagon! It was so much fun! (Can't you tell by the look on his face?!?!?!?)
I think he was a little nervous to look at the camera with the zebra behind him! The guide told us that if you fed them they might bite you...he wasn't taking any chances....and to be honest with you...I was a little nervous too! They came RIGHT up to us!



As soon as we left Caden dropped his bucket of feed on the floor of the wagon...before we knew it this friend pushed Cadens feed out of the way to get to the food! He stuck his entire head under the seat! Caden held on to me for DEAR LIFE!



Caden and Riley already look hot! It was a HOT 92 degrees today!



Caden's favorite part of the trip might possibly might have been riding on the bus! The church bus has 5 point harnesses which he thought was great! Daddy even came to check it out this morning! Wish he could have gone with us!
