Daddy Daycare

I have class on Monday and Thurday nights from 6-9 in Conway...so Daddy daycare is in full effect these nights. Well, James decided to take some pictures of their nightly routine together...

When I first saw this picture, I though they probably ate spagetti...but they had fishsticks, fries, and ketchup. I still have no clue how Addison managed to get ketchup up to her eyebrows, but it is apparent by the smile on her face that they were having a big time. Pictures are definitely incriminating! I would have never imagined that a little bit of ketchup could go such a long way.

Bath time is one of Addy's favorite times. She is such a little fish! 

By the time I was home from class, Addison was in sleepy town! 

Birthday Fun!

Sitting on the porch at the Cowboy House. She though the cabin was so cool!

November 11 is a very special day for two of my favorites...It is James' and Gucci's Birthday. Their birthday was on a Tuesday, so the weekend before we went to El Dorado for some deer hunting and birthday fun! We celebrated his birthday at the "Cowboy House".  The Cowboy House is like a hunting cabin/house on his Uncle Roger and Aunt Jan's land. They have chicken houses and cows and the house is on the top of a hill overlooking the land. It is so beautiful and relaxing, and we have so much fun everytime we hang out there. His dad and Danny fried fish, fries, and hushpuppies. It was so much fun, and Addison loved being in the country. She had lots of room to run around and she LOVED playing with the "boy toys" and with Colin. 

Fall Fun

Okay, so I am a little behind...but I had to post these pictures because they are super cute. Addy and James were playing in the leaves. Addison loves being outdoors!

Addison and James!

The Park and Puddles

Last week it rained a lot...so we decided to try out Addison's new rainboots! They are so cute, and she love splashing in the puddles!

These pics are from two weeks ago when we went to the park/community center by our house. There is this rock sculpture thing that kids can climb through. Addison loved it and it was a great photo opportunity...There is a pavilion and a walking trail around the pond. Addison loved playing peek-a-boo through the opening, and was very interested in a young boy who was practicing his skateboarding skills.

Trick-or-Treat

James, Addison, and I went to my parents house Halloween night! Their neighborhood is a hot spot for trick-or-treaters.  The neighborhood makes a complete circle, and on Halloween night, the police block off the entrance and exit too all cars except people that live on the circle.  Mom bought Addy a new set of wheels for trick-or-treating around the circle.  It was a  double-seater wagon, and was fully equipped with seat belts, cup holders, and a storage compartment. Addison loves her wagon, and it the extra seat came in handy!

As you can see we had two trick-or-treaters...Addison and Gucci!  They are such great friends, and they even decided to be the same thing for Halloween! The were the two cutest bumblebee's we have ever seen!

After an unfortunate accident, I decided that it would be best for Gucci to stay home during trick-or-treating.  As you can see in the picture above, Addison and Gucci were all strapped in and ready to go.  Right after this picture was taken the door bell rang...it was the 1st trick-or-treater for the night.  I was busy getting our stuff together, mom was cooking, dad was gone to pick Alex up at the airport, so James went to greet the visitor.  Our first trick-or-treater was a dog dressed in a hotdog costume, and when Gucci saw the dog he started going crazy.  He was in such a frenzy that he forgot he was strapped and jumped out of the wagon, and was basically hanging himself.  I was screaming, Addison was screaming, and James was laughing hysterically.  It was chaotic to say the least, but the best Halloween ever!

See Ya!

Halloween Day!!!

Addison woke up in an excellent mood. We had been reading Mouses First Halloween every night before bed for at least a month, and she was really looking forward to Halloween this year.  She decided to sport orange and black attire to school. We stopped by Kroger before school and bought cupcakes for her classes Halloween party! All the employees were dressed up, and they were passing out candy...Addison loved it!  Next we went to school, and she changed into her first outfit...a zebra! All her friends were dressed up in their little costumes...I think there was a Nemo, butterfly, tiger, cheerleader, teddy bear, a little Asian lady, cowboy...I can't remember them all, but it was too cute!!!

Addison is so funny. When she wants something, or likes something she will point to it and say, "Dis"...meaning this! See picture above, she is saying "Dis"...she was trying to show our neighbor that she had her own pumpkin!

And when she really like something, or really wants something, she will say "Dis" followed by this very dramatic "Oooooooooooh"....  It is hysterical! 

In this pic she was trying to pick up the pumpkin and give it to our neighbor, and it was a little heavy!!!

It's About Time!!!

I just love the whole blogging thing.  It's such a great way to keep up-to-date with friends and family. With that said, I have been meaning to create a blog for a long time, however I never seem to get around to it. Time is something that I wish I had a little more of.  I am working, going to UCA at night to get a Master's in Teaching, and taking care of two babies (Addison and James) haha!! I frequently try to manage my free time more efficiently, and I have come to the conclusion that it's hard to manage something that you have little of....

And taking about time...It's unbelievable how time flies.  It seems like just yesterday James and I were bringing Addison home from the hospital on Memorial Day.  Addison is such a blessing and brings so much happiness in our lives.  I have 1000's of pics of Addy over the past 17 months, but I can imagine how easy is to forget the small details over time.  

So...what better way to remember the small stuff than to document it!!!
