Happy Birthday Addy!

Thank you for such a great year! You are always so much fun (even your tantrums are cute, yet annoying). I love when you dress up and go around the house and talk to all of your imaginary friends.


You are very good at making messes but you are even better at helping to clean them up. I love when you help me clean around the house.

You are always up to something.

Thank you for enjoying your bed. I love when you tell me you are tired and next thing I know you are asleep, with your reading light on, with a book in your hands. Thanks for being such a good sleeper, it definitely hasn't always been this way.

Sorry this picture is sideways! I am VERY excited to have a Lightning McQueen birthday party tonight! I hope you like your cake, my hand still has a cramp from decorating it.
**If any of you beside Addy read this**
Last night while I was decorating the cake Addy informed me that she didn't want Lightning McQueen spikey (w/a star tip) and that I didn't know how to make birthday cakes. She went downstairs and asked Bryan to come up and make her a cake because mommy didn't know how :( I was very sad especially because I thought the cake looked pretty good myself. )

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEETHEART!!!!
I can't believe that you are three already. It seems like just the other day you were the size of Rylee, crawling around and eating everything that you see. Thanks for being such a good sister and great daughter.

WE LOVE YOU!

Rylee is pooped

Rylee was pretty tired after walking around her moms school to show off her Incredibles costume. She was really showing it during lunch

It's Official!

Rylee is definitely crawling. Addy is the only one that encouraged this, we didn't want her crawling so soon. This just means that she is going to be into everything! I think she looks so cute ( and little) crawling.

Kudos to Hooper!

Come join us, my famly along with Natalie, Carly & Bridger would love for you to join us on our Halloween adventure.



Just sit back and enjoy as you follow the lit pathway through this Halloween Wonderland.

DUCK! Wow, that was a close one. You really should watch out for those hanging skeletons!

What a cute family.

The PHANtom of the Opera was there, inside the park.

Eek! A haunted mansion, it even has a head in a glass ball talking AAHHHH!

Some other tourist enjoying this tour as much as you..

Ghosts, Ooooo. . .

Hurry stop her! She is getting away with all those puppies.

What a sight! Hundreds of luminaries scattered throughout the park looks really cool, don't you think.

Thank you for taking a stroll through this Halloween wonderland, I hope you enjoyed yourself. A special thanks goes to Hooper for setting up this wonderland.

Deer Hunting

Deer hunting was great this year. Anybody who knows us, knows that we love to go up there and spend time together and have fun. If we see any deer, that is definitely a bonus.

Playing in the dirt was plenty of entertainment for Addy and Benson.

Benson likes getting carried by his mom as we walked through the trees. Go Natalie, he must have been heavy!

Natalie, Benson and Addy went to look over the edge to see if they could see any deer.

Casey playing with fire, like usual.

Rylee enjoyed when she got to crawl around.

Addy loved piling up the rocks and putting them in a row. It was hilarious- when she had about 10 rocks in a perfectly straight row Grandpa would move one while she wasn't looking. She would walk past her row and immediately notice the out of place rock and put it back where it should be. This went on for quite some time. She is definitely a perfectionist, I hope this doesn't lead to OCD :)

Poor, poor Benson. He biffed it right onto his face. He was not very happy. He was even more upset because I wouldn't let Grandpa clean him up until I got a picture because his mom and dad were out hunting.

Addy loved playing with Grandma. She really liked when Grandma would walk up the hill with her.

Addy also had fun playing in Grandma and Grandpa's new trailor.
