Apple Butter Festival

We went to the Apple Butter Festival in Idalou TX....so fun!!! The kids loved the petting zoo, the snowcones, the live music, the hayride, the jump house (best $2 we ever spent, after a 2 hour drive there they needed it), picking and eating apples off the tree (you could eat all the apples you wanted while you were picking), and dragging our bucket of apples. The trees were dwarf trees and so both the kids could reach them. We will for sure go again. Plus there is nothing like a fresh apple off of the tree.

Birthday pics just for Grandma!!!

Hey mom, these are just for you. My mom sent Addison a gift in the mail a few days before her birthday. She got a bunch of art supplies and loved it. The last pic she is telling you thank you!!!

Happy Birthday Addison

We had a fun filled week and celebrated Addison's birthday. I cannot believe that she is 2 already, where has time gone?? She was so darn cute the entire week. If you said birthday she would say "party, party, party" Then when we started to decorate for the party she got even more excited. When we picked up the balloons you could tell she got even more excited. Even now a few days later if she sees anything that even reminds her of the party she says, "birthday party" So cute!!! She loved the party hats and the blowers.


Addison loved her cake. I made it the morning before the party and when I told her that we were making her cake she insisted on sitting in front of the oven while it cooked. If you left she was in tears. Then when it was done she was so mad that I left and turned the light off on the oven. When I finally convinced her that it was done and needed to cool she was fine. Then when it came time to frost it, she sat there the ENTIRE time and watched. She LOVED her cake. When it came time to blow out the candle and everyone was singing to her she was very timid and did not want to blow them out. Once we brought her the piece of cake she was happy again.


We are so happy to have our sweet little Addison as a part of our family. She keeps us laughing. She LOVES books and puzzles and LOVES dogs. She will do anything for a dog. She also loves music and will dance if she hears it. She adores her big brother and follows him around when he is home. Such a sweet little thing!!!

Thank heavens for Eye Makeup Remover

When I put my makeup on I never sit in front of a mirror. I usually have my makeup on the floor in front of me and I use my little mirror on my compact. Then after I am done I go and check it out in the big mirror....I have done it this way for years!!! Since Addison was able to sit up she has usually been right there with me and playing with whatever she could get her hands on. Well I think I may have to change my routine...what do you think??

You know what is funny about the whole thing is that she did not put it anywhere except what you see. Not on the carpet or her clothes. She has been paying close attention I guess. But I think she is a few years premature.
