For Addison's 3rd Birthday we gathered with friends and family at Anderson Park. Even though it rained it was a wonderful day. It was almost as if we reserved the entire playground just for us!

We went to Delaware for Cousin Meghan’s wedding in April. We stayed with Uncle Pete and Aunt Penny. They have a beautiful home and a huge backyard with some old playground equipment that Uncle Pete got when a playground was being renovated. We had not seen some of these items in YEARS. Some of these things Addison will likely never see on a playground. She had a blast playing on them.

She loved the marry go round

“go faster go faster” she said

Then, “uggggh I’m done”

I will paint myself, the table and the paper thank you.

This girl LOVES dinosaurs. We read about them every night. She talks about them all the time, she can pronounce the names correctly. If she could pick between Princesses (with the exception of Princess and the Frog because the princess is a frog for most of the movie) and dinosaurs, she would pick dinosaurs.

After a trim and a blow dry

Happy girl!

I Like the Flowers

2011-03-03T09:04:00.001-05:00

These are pictures from our drive to school this morning. Lately Addison will say ‘I like the flowers, they are really pretty’ when we pass a tree with blooms or if she can see flowers out the window (and yes, I was parked or stopped at a red light when snapping these shots).

Blue Ridge Visit Part 1

2011-03-01T15:29:00.001-05:00

Presidents Day weekend Addison and I visited Mimi and Papa in Blue Ridge. We had a great weekend at the park and the Fire and Ice chili cook off and ice sculpting festival.

Addison had a great time wearing all of Mimi’s shoes. Here she is in a pair of her boots.

Here we are at the restaurant after a wonderful dinner. It was difficult breaking Addi away from the iPod for a picture.

Here are a few of the ice sculptures that were in front of the shops on E. Main St.

Potty training update

2011-02-16T17:20:00.001-05:00

Ms Addison started in big girl panties on a permanent basis on the 5th of Feb. She has had 1 accident since then and it was at school. We found that the longer she was staying in pull ups the more she thought she was being given permission to go in them. We still use them over night just to be safe but so far so good. She loves getting up in the morning and picking out which pair she is going to wear… I think its a bigger deal than her shirts and pants!

Addi’s First Wrestling Tournament

2011-02-16T17:19:00.005-05:00

Addison got to go to Wrestling Sectionals last Saturday. Our friend Josh coaches for East Coweta and they were at Central Gwinnett. She really got into it. At one point on our way up the steps everyone else started yelling, she stopped, turned around started clapping and yelling right along with them!

Here is a picture of Addi, Mrs. Evelyn and Mommy.

A Warm Saturday

2011-02-16T17:19:00.003-05:00

Snow Days

2011-02-16T14:20:00.001-05:00

Monday we had a nice blanket of snow topped with ice.. we had a good time playing and throwing snow balls at each other.

Tuesday daddy attempted to make an ice angel… no luck.

Wednesday….

Addison decided she’d had enough and grabbed her wagon and headed up the hill…

when we asked where she was going.. she yelled Chic a lake (chic fil a)… apparently she was sick of being snowed in too…

Cave Time!!

2011-02-16T14:18:00.003-05:00

Addi’s class made a cave and talked about hibernation at school. They each took in a teddy bear and the bear stayed in the cave for a week. That had Addi very interested in caves so we made one at home during our snow week!

Time for Reading!!

2011-02-16T14:18:00.001-05:00

This girl loves to read. She prefers to read us her bedtime stories. Currently its ‘Over The Moon (Goodnight Moon)’ (audio to be posted shortly) Here she is showing me the animals and telling me their colors and sounds.

Chenoweth Family Christmas

2011-01-16T21:26:00.001-05:00

Christmas Day afternoon we headed up to Hartwell to join the Chenoweths for Christmas. We had a great time with everyone. Addison and Evan seem to play better together every time they see each other.

Christmas 2010

2011-01-16T20:55:00.001-05:00

We had a great Christmas. This year Addison was beginning to understand what was going on more. When we would do the Advent calendar leading up to Christmas she would ask every day if she could play with God before bed. One evening when I was cooking dinner I asked if she would like to help and she replied ‘no thanks mommy, I’m playing with God.’ she would open and close the doors and talk about what she saw on the calendar, the animals and baby Jesus.

When we went to see Santa, she asked him for bread to feed the cows (from the Christmas tree farm) suckers and a ride on the jet ski which then turned in to her own jet ski as well.

Here is Addison seeing the cupcakes Santa ate and reading her letter from him

2010-12-24T13:41:00.007-05:00

The 11th of December we all got together to celebrate Christmas and Memaw and Granddaddy’s 65th wedding anniversary. We had a grand time spending the weekend together in Blue Ridge.

Hanging her Ornament

2010-12-24T13:41:00.005-05:00

I tried to take a picture of us together in front of the tree with her ornament behind us but it didn’t work so well. She was more interested in what I was doing and the milk shake and I couldn’t keep my eyes open! Oh well.

Addison’s silliness

2010-12-24T13:41:00.003-05:00

Here she decided to take Macy’s bowl (yes clean) and transfer her gold fish to it…. In the next picture she is painting my hand with imaginary paint and making imaginary hand turkeys on the couch.

Dancing around the kitchen after dinner.

Christmas Tree Pickin

2010-12-24T13:41:00.001-05:00

The first weekend in December Uncle Nate, Aunt Taryn and Declan went with us to pick out our tree. We went to the Patterson tree farm that we have been going to for the last 3 years. We all had a great time picking out the tree and feeing the mini cows they had as well. These cows are what have Addison asking Santa for bread this year.

Addison’s First Trip to the Zoo

2010-10-25T22:06:00.001-04:00

Saturday Uncle Nathan and I took Addison to the zoo. We had a great time seeing all the animals. Here are some pictures from our fun trip.

She told us after we left that the Elephants were her favorite.

She was very concerned and pointed out every animal that didn’t have any water.

Addison LOVED the Miercats. She loved that they live in a big sandbox. The lions woke up and walked up near the glass while we were there to get into the sun

Amicalola Falls

2010-10-19T18:04:00.001-04:00

A few weeks ago Mimi and I took Addison to Amicalola Falls for a picnic and some playground time. It was a beautiful fall day and not too crowded. We had an enjoyable time.

Addison and Polly

2010-09-29T22:18:00.001-04:00

A few weeks ago we had Martha, Eddy, Polly and Isaac over along with Uncle Nate, Aunt Taryn and Declan for dinner. We grilled burgers and the girls ran around squealing with joy playing together for the first time in a few weeks.

Moving to Her Big Girl Bed!

2010-08-23T21:18:00.002-04:00

For the last week Addison has wanted nothing to do with her crib. One night I couldn't take it anymore so I pulled her matress out and put it on the floor. She was so excited and looked at me with wide eyes and said 'Mommy!! It's like a big girl bed!' that was when I knew it was time.

This weekend we put her bed together and got new bedding. Here are some pictures from her first night sleeping like the big girl she has become.

Cherry Pickin in Blue Ridge

2010-06-15T11:05:00.001-04:00

A few weeks ago we went to visit Mimi and Papa so Daddy could see the restaurant. While we were there we all went and picked cherries! Addi loved it and learned pretty quick how to spit out the seeds (or the entire cherry…).

Memorial Day

2010-06-15T10:56:00.001-04:00

On Memorial Day weekend Mimi and Papa opened their new restaurant in Blue Ridge The VH and Blue Orleans Bistro. Mommy went up and helped them out for a few days while Addi and Daddy went to the lake. Sunday, Mommy joined up with the family for some boat rides. Here are a few pictures from the fun.

Addi and Daddy Time

2010-05-10T11:42:00.001-04:00

When we got back, Mommy had to go back to work but Daddy had 4 more days off! He and Addi had a fun time going to the park and playing around the house.

We climbed Dunn’s River Falls… all 960 ft!

Zack learned how to sail… Then we went out with a guide on Tuesday.

This was the view of our building from the beach. we were the 2nd room on the left bottom floor

Its been a while since I have updated. It’s been a busy month! I finished school (with the exception of Calculus they decided i needed to take again 2 months ago so no graduation until December). Zack and I went on a nice 6 day trip to Jamaica (pictures to come). Declan was born and Grady was born!

Here are some pictures from a park outing April 10th with Polly

Easter Sunday

2010-04-05T14:45:00.001-04:00

I had to post this picture of Polly. It is just too cute!

Addi LOVED deviled eggs…

After we ate, we took Uncle Nate and Aunt Taryn lunch and got to see baby cousin Declan.

His bilirubin level was really high so he’s been in the bili bed.

Granny gave Addi an Easter basket with bracelets in it. By far her favorite part (even over the peeps!).

Easter Eve Playdate

2010-04-05T14:33:00.001-04:00

Saturday after nap time, we went over to Polly’s house to play, dye and hunt Easter eggs and have dinner. The girls had a few lessons in sharing but had a great time.

They chatted it up on the porch of the play house

and had a few laughs.

Addison tried to ride the trikey

And Polly pushed her in the Cozy Coup.

Then decided she wanted to ride too…

Tantrums were had on both sides

But they made up

Had a race,

Shared the car.

Flash forward 16 years…

Checkin out guys…. (aye de mi! I’m not ready for that)

Then, we colored eggs….

Addi decided to throw her eggs in the dye and colored her face as well.

Polly fit as many eggs as she could in each cup

And her hands showed her fun!

I love their cute chocolate faces!

And before the night ended, they shared the trikey too

Easter Egg Hunt 2

2010-04-05T13:56:00.001-04:00

Happy Birthday Mimi!

2010-03-19T17:25:00.001-04:00

Last Sunday we got together to have Brunch and celebrate Mimi’s birthday. We had lunch at Holman-Finch Public House in Atlanta and then went to Piedmont Park to take some pictures. Unfortunately, it was flipping cold out and mommy forgot her jacket so we didn’t stay long.

Some Updates

2010-03-19T14:15:00.001-04:00

Addison’s vocabulary is increasing daily. She has started speaking in 4-5 word sentences to express her want for something or displeasure with something else.

The other day, I was getting her ready for school and she sang her ABC’s from A-Z with no help and didn’t miss a letter. I was shocked. She has since done it once or twice more and i got part of one on tape so I’ll post it soon.

In the bath the other night she discoverd her pruned toes and freaked out saying with much worry, ‘uhoh toes uhoh toes’ ‘uhoh foot, uhoh foot’ over and over… all night until bed. Then I covered her little feet with her blanked and she said ‘night night toes’. i painted her toenails for the first time and she can’t decide if its ‘uhoh toes’ or ‘pretty toes’.

Here are some pictures from the recent fun.

Happy Baby Nate and Taryn

This past weekend we attended Nate and Taryn’s baby shower. It was a great time and they got lots of good loot.

Here are some pictures from the happy occasion. Both Addison and Evan had a great time and there were minimal melt downs considering they had no nap!

Snow Day!

2010-02-12T22:41:00.001-05:00

Today Addi and I were on our way to Blue Ridge to visit Mimi and Papa when the snow started coming down. It took us ~2 hrs to make it to I-75 when papa called and told us to turn around and go home because getting up the mountain was not possible. It took another half hour to get out of the HOV lane and onto 75 so I could exit and turn around. It only took an hour and a half to get home which given that I’d seen the traffic going north while I was headed south, surprised me. Anyway, there was no ice, just snow falling but not sticking to the road and we made it home safe and sound. We went out to play for a bit. Here are some pictures!

Pishies!

This past weekend we took Addison to the Georgia Aquarium. It was her first experience like this. She did great for the first 45 min but got overwhelmed pretty quick. Next time we won’t even bother with the stroller and will go as soon as the doors open =D

She loved the Angel Fish (they seemed to be very interested in her too).

Kissing the pishies

She was one tired Bear when we left.

A week or so ago Addi sat on a cereal bar at daycare and it got all over her pants. She was out of a change of clothes so Daycare found the best they could….. She was our little flannel clown for a little while ;)

They said she was trying to pull the sleeves off the whole day.. she looks miserable!
