No more naps

Addison is in the awkward phase of not napping but needing too. This evening her mouth got the best of her (no idea where she gets that...let's just blame her aunt Mary!). I sent her to her room.

Brian and Caden just got in from the store and found her asleep here. Yes, she is sleeping a few steps up from the bottom. Bless her heart.

Stop growing up

Today Collins discovered how to go from laying to sitting. So much so she decided an hour and a half was a sufficient nap. She can almost pull up. Collins Lea, you're my last baby....please stop growing up so fast. Soon you'll be cruising and if I'm honest I'm REALLY not ready for that. So, please stay a baby as long as you can.

She's my girl

Today we took Collins in for her 9 month. She weighs 19 pounds 9 ounces! What a big girl. She also has her first ear infection. (I think it's her first!).

Addison and Caden got stickers because they rocked during the appointment! This is what Addison did with hers. It got stuck in her hair. It was no fun getting it out. :)

Happy New Year

We had a great Christmas! After Christmas Mimi came for a few days. I'll post on both this week!

Tonight we got together with a few great friends. I love love love seeing all of our kids play. The big boys are into building forts on the bunk bed. I love it. It's crazy...but the best kind of crazy! Corbin, Addison and Highland loved pushing strollers and buggies around.

Addison insisted on wearing her bathing suit with a pink fur jacket. Since we were just going to Chris and carries and they love her like she were theirs we let her. I really thought shed regret it. She didn't. She walked in, dropped her coat and ran on to play like it was totally normal.

Happy New Year!

A walk with Mommy

Today Brian and Lisa took the big kids up to Brian's school to play with Caden's new helicopter toy.

Collins and I decided to take a jog to the horses despite my terrible headache. We made it. It was a great workout....that stroller is great resistance.

Collins looked precious. I introduced a snack trap to her. I don't think she gets it yet. She will though.

Merry 1st Christmas Collins!

November!

November was just as busy! Caden and Addison were in the Children's Christmas play at church. We had the most precious shepard there!

Typical...but I LOVE IT!

Addison sang in church for the first time! She was precious...


until her friend Aiden stepped infront of her. Then she shoved her polietly out of the way without missing a note!

On a warm November day they helped their daddy rake leaves and played in them. Addison tries to dress in summer clothes every. single. day! This day it looks like she convinced her daddy that it was a good idea!

For Thanksgiving this year we headed to Florida to see Mimi, Pop Pop and the gang! We had a great time and loved the nice weather!

While we were there Mimi and Pop Pop had a photographer capture some pictures of the gang!

We enjoyed an evening out by the pool. We had a bon fire and roasted Marshmellows. Caden and I prefer ours right out of the bag but still enjoyed the fire!
