Are you seeing a pattern??

Our little girl is now 11 months old, she is such a cute girl and her personality is really starting to emerge. Here are a few of her newest things....

-She likes to act like she is sharing, she takes it away just at the last minute and then won't share or won't give it to you at all.

-Loves food!!

-She loves to make messes!!

-Is walking everywhere!!

-Not sleeping through the night yet but she did do it 4 days in a row and had me in heaven!!(I hadn't had a full nights rest for over a year, I am hoping for this soon!!)

-Her favorite toy in the whole world is Parker's stuffed animal, Sockers!!

-She will tell you she wants more by sticking our her hand at you. (who cares about these signs we have been trying to get her to do since she was born??)

-Still loves books!!

-Loves to play with Parker and laugh at him!! They are a hoot in the car, he gets her to laugh the whole time.

We don't remember what it was like not having her around and glad that she is part of our family!!

Science Spectrum

We took a trip 2 hours away to Lubbock and went to the Science Spectrum. What fun we had!! Parker was not sure what to think when we told him where we were going but had a ball while we were there. They also had a great toddler area and Addison even had some fun. We will definitely go back, it will be fun when Parker can read and learn even more. Jeff was like a big kid...he loves this kind of stuff. Parker said he couldn't pick out just one thing he liked, he "loved the whole thing!!"

My first salad

Yep, that's me having our only tomatoes from our garden (count them, there are only three,It really is pitiful that we have 5 tomato bushes and only three tomatoes) and also that lettuce is from our garden. Yeah!!! I cannot believe how hard a garden can be..hopefully we get more fruit. On a side note, one of our cantaloupes shriveled up and died but we still have two more, and hopefully the bugs don't get to them!!

TGIF

1. Swimming is my favorite summertime activity.

2. My favorite John Hughes movies is Ferris Buellers Day Off.

3. Jeff's feet is something I love to touch, (they are so soft).

4. The full moon is not out often enough.

5. It's breakfast time right now.

6. When daylight fades so do I.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to having Jeff home, tomorrow my plans include going to Lubbock and Sunday, I want to have friends over for dinner!

The Big 30

So I cannot believe it...I am 30. It came, it went and boy am I glad. It was a bad day! You know that day that your kids decided to behave badly and do all those things that drive you crazy. Plus Addison is teething so you can only imagine how fun that was. It was "hold me all day or else I cry." Not sure why they picked this day, but what do you do? Aren't birthdays for mom's overrated when you have kids?? We didn't have a birthday cake (I didn't want to make my own, that just isn't right) My friend Camilla brought me some yummy chocolate chip cookies though, she said you have to have something fattening on your birthday. Thanks Camilla!! Jeff did make a yummy dinner. Steak with caramelized onions and mushrooms, cooked on the grill and potatoes, yummy!!! After dinner Jeff and Parker sang to me but it only took Parker about 10 minutes of whining about doing it before he would do it. That pretty much ruined it. So next year if I want them to sing to me, maybe I should make myself a cake. I did go to Walmart that night and ran into a friend and she pretty much saved the day. We talked forever and had a great chat. Thanks Megan you rock!!! Oh and I did get something else fattening at Walmart!!! I decided that I needed cake and ice-cream. Surprisingly it was yummy!!! (I had my doubts with it being from the Walmart bakery.)

The one thing she really likes

Addison does not really like anything(you know like some kids will carry around a blanket or a stuffed animal)....except the one thing that she can't have...SOCKERS!! (Parker's favorite stuffed dog). It is quite funny!! Grandma can you send another one so the fighting will end??
