More Christmas Day Pics!

Christmas Day!

We had a fun filled day on Christmas! First we watched Addison see what Santa brought her, which was too cute! She can't run yet, but she sure did try to run to the presents when she saw them in the living room! After that we went to Mom's for breakfast and more gifts! Then we went to my Uncle Danny's house for lunch and finally to Betty's house for dinner! Addison was worn out by the end of the day but we had a great Christmas! We are very blessed to have such a wonderful family and a beautiful little girl!

More Christmas Eve Pics!

Christmas Eve!

Christmas Eve was very busy. We had Dad, Wendy, Greg, Katie and Granny & PawPaw over for lunch and then we went to Betty's house for dinner! Addison got lots of presents, but her favorite part was opening the presents! It is so much fun to watch her this year compared to last year. She actually is excited about the presents, but not so much about what's inside them just the opening of them!

Christmas with Mom's family!

We had Christmas with Mom's family on two nights! The first night was at my cousin April's house and the second night was at my house! We all had so much fun and the kids of course enjoyed playing together since we don't get to see each other very often!

Christmas with the Barton and Carey families!

We had Christmas with the Barton and Carey families and had so much fun!! We had dinner and then let the kids play and open presents! Addison got a cute dress and matching bow from Allie B and a baby doll stroller and sippy cup from Bryson and Branning! The kids were all exhausted at the end of the night, but we all had a blast!

Thanksgiving 2009!

Wow I haven't posted in a while, but here is the only picture I didn't accidentally delete from Thanksgiving! We had a fun day with family! We went to Betty's house and my Mom, Brother and Sister came over there as well. We had lots of good food and had a great time! Oh and Addison started walking right before Thanksgiving so it has been lots of fun watching her!!

Happy Halloween!

We went trick or treating Saturday night with our good friends in Letson Farms. We had a great time!! Addison was a duck and her friend Allie was a bumblebee. They were too cute. Of course they can't really eat any candy yet, but they sure did get a lot of it.

Addison's First Birthday!

We had Addison's 1st birthday party on October 17th. It was a really cold day to have an outdoor party, but at least it wasn't raining. There would not have been enough room in our house for all the people that came if the rain continued! We had a great turnout and Addison got lots of new toys that she is really enjoying! We are so thankful for family and great friends who endured the cold to celebrate with us that day. Addison's favorite part was the cake. She loved every minute of that cake!!!

Addison is ONE!

Today is Addison's first birthday and we had her a party at Mother's Day Out! We took cookies and her teachers made her a hat to wear. Her big party is on Saturday, but we had to do something today since it is her actual birthday!

Pumpkin Patch!

On Sunday we went to the pumpkin patch with some friends and Trent's Mom! Addison had so much fun. We rode a train to get to the pumpkin patch and then we also went on a hayride! Addison loved the hayride and had fun crawling around all the pumpkins. On the train ride back we got to sit outside and it was wonderful. We can't wait to do it again next year!

Update On Addison!

Wow time goes by so fast!! My sweet baby girl will be one in just four days! It sure doesn't seem like it has been a year since she was born. She has definitely learned many new things over the past few weeks. She now has 11 teeth, including three of her molars. She can stand on her own and could walk but she is a little scared. Her favorite thing right now is books. She can sit and look at books for a while. She talks to herself while she looks at all the pictures, it is too cute to watch her read. She has really started talking a lot more now and I can understand a few of the words: baby, mama, dada, bye-bye, uh-oh, thank you. She has started pointing at everything and finally will clap her hands. She also learned to take out her bows and her hair looks a mess when she does. I think she does this more to annoy her mama because she knows it drives me crazy when her hair looks crazy and is all in her face! I think that is all for now. I will post some pictures soon. She just got her one year pictures done in downtown Helena. Whitney did a wonderful job! Her birthday party is next Saturday! We are praying for good weather because that will be a lot of people in our house if it rains.

Update on Addison!

Addison is doing much better at Mother's Day Out!! She has the sweetest teachers who love her so much! It makes a huge difference when you know the teachers love your kids and you love the teachers! I'm also loving working just half a day and getting to peek in on her throughout the day is wonderful!!

My sweet baby girl has been sick though. Last Monday she had hand, foot, mouth and now she has croup! We went to see Dr. Wilson today and luckily the strep and flu tests were negative! Hopefully she will soon learn to fight off the germs and not catch everything. It's hard at her age to keep the germs down when they all still put everything in their mouth!

I have been working on getting everything ready for her birthday party! It is in just 3 1/2 weeks (so sad that time flies so fast). She is getting so big and so close to walking. It amazes me how they learn new things so quickly!

First Day of Mother's Day Out

As most of you know I decided to change jobs so that I can spend more time with my sweet baby girl. Well today was my first day at Briarwood and Addison's first day of Mother's Day Out. It was very nice and I really enjoyed the reduced hours. I only work four hours a day and Addison goes the same hours. I actually get to see her throughout the day and I love it. She did pretty good for her first day. She has been at home with me for the past three weeks so she cried a little but overall it was a good first day!

Botanical Gardens

We went to Botanical Gardens last thursday with Allison and Allie to try and get some pictures of the girls and to enjoy the cooler weather outside. It was cloudy so we were not burning up and we had a great time walking around looking at everything and even managed to get some cute pictures! Addison loved standing on the bridge and crawling around the rose garden. She was not in a smiling mood though because she was getting one of her one-year molars and her mouth was hurting. Poor baby has gotton one tooth after another, but the molor has by far been the toughest one for her and we still have three more to go!
