cousins....

Addison is 5 months older than Khloe... I love the red hair!


these are too funny. By the end of the night they were both covered in marker from elbowing each other. I hope they grow up close....


check out these cool glasses grandpa!

oh, they do look good on you!

I LOVE my family!

memories...

I'm gonna cherish this one.

grrrrrrrrrr..........it's St. Patty's Day!

Addison spend St. Patrick's day with Daddy. They slept in and then
headed to the shop to work on the jeep. Mommy left work early and met up with my two favorites. We went to the Sportsman's Expo... right up are alley, eh =)
We actually went to take Adds to see the baby bears from Bear World in ID.
There was no question if she would like them....





She was ubber fascinated in all the taxidermy. She kept saying..."look, I wanna see it".

She was then passed on to Auntie Shay so that Mommy and Daddy could wake up early and be at TOSH for Daddy's knee surgery at 6am..... UGH! However we were able to go have a nice "quiet" dinner just the two of us.

Happy Birthday - and Big Three Zero!

My sister is someone that is always there where I need her. She is the first person I call when I need to talk (vent). She is the first person I call when I need a "mom" questioned answered. She is the first person I call when I am looking for my mom, lol. She is selfless. She is beautiful. She is strong willed. She gives you her opinion good or bad. She is the best aunt ever to Addison, and Addison loves her and her kids. She puts up with me, and she has my back.

Growing up my mom would make us kiss when we would get into a brawl (seriously, hair pulling, kicking, scratching) - it was the worst thing imaginable at the time. It really is funny to think about. But the best part is. She loves me, and I know it.

She just celebrated her 30th bday on 3/13/11. (another fact: we were both born on Friday the 13th, I swear) And people think she is older, and I laugh. And Rob loves to go up and smell her hair, I know creepy, but its funny.

Happy Birthday to my best friend and sister. I love you always & forever!

Addie-tude...

Addison is 21 months and 2 weeks....AHHHH!

Seriously time is moving too fast.
She is becoming this little person full of energy, sass, sweetness & love.
It's crazy. I wanted to document some her "sayings" as of late.

"I sorry mommy" - usually said from time out =)
"oh no, baby crying"
"HUSH, Brodie and Baster"
"Good Night (Brodie, Baster, Mommy, Daddy, Dora, Fish, Cowboy.....)"
"try it again"
"eat lunch" (for bfast, lunch and dinner)
"1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11"
"mon, mommy play room"
"daddy at work?"
"Jacee house"
"play kids"
"hi, girls"
"zip it Daddy" *my personal favorite.
"mommy, boobs" *credit for that one goes to Daddy.
"oh gosh"
"gosh darn it"
"Addie do it"
"watch Dora"
"daddy jeep"

She will say what ever you tell her. Last night I told her that she was my best friend, and she repeated it. I love it! Most words are spoken very clear, like she is putting thought into her words. She has gotten used to sleeping in her bed, that is now in toddler style. She has to put on her socks and pants by herself. She loves to zip her zippers and snap her snaps. She loves anything fast or that has fur. Daddy loves to take her in the Rhino, and she cries because she doesn't want to get out". She loves tackling Baster....putting him in a head lock and saying, love you Baster. I don't know what I would do with out this girl... my life is full and so is my heart.

Here are some pics from this week =)

heavy heart...

today my plate is full... I have a ton on my left from yesterday list, and new things to do. This week had been well, hell. I am a tough girl, I am. My little world is perfect with "rock a babies", and "monkey jumpin on the bed". But my big world seems to be one big puddle of mud.
Sometimes I stick my neck out a little too far. This time I feel like I stuck it out far enough for the fedex truck to come screaming by to rip it right off...
But in my heart I know it was the right thing to do and I was the right one to do it. I can take it, because I love you.
I am not going into details on a public blog. But I want my family to all know how much I love each and everyone of them. I have so so so many wonderful memories from being a little girl, most of those consisted of being with my family. It seemed like there was always a family party for every possible reason.... and from that comes these wonderful memories. My gandparents are getting older (and so am I), but I just want to be that little girl who spent my days fighting with my cousins because they were usually wrong. But right now My Grandpa is miserable... and I want to be there for him, my mom, my grandma and that's all that matters today.

rock a baby....

"rock a baby tree top, monkey's on the bed".

That was the song Addie was singing from her rocking chair last night.
I LOVE this girl....

I snapped this pic at Grandma Kathy's this past weekend.
