Poor girl has the mother of all sinus infections, but it isn't slowing her down!Pictures to come. Just wanted to share the many things that enter the mouth of a 16-month old.

Pumpkins, flowers, and a football game

Check out the morning hair. So pretty!


Helping daddy in the kitchen








Stuck under the chair = mad


Escaping from under the chair = happy


Mommy not holding me ALL the time = sad


A couple of weeks ago, we took our first annual trip to the pumpkin patch. Addison loved the scarecrows, especially one dressed like a dog. Here are a few of the cute shots










And this weekend was homecoming. We had such a fun time!
At the parade with Addie and her new friend Haven (isn't she a cutie!)


Hanging out with daddy


Addie's first college football game...she loved all the cheering!


Addison loves cats, so she was so excited to see Willie the Wildcat coming to see her, but, when the big cat got close, Addison screamed so loud!




Then, tonight was our church's Trunk or Treat. Addie was a pretty pink flower, and picked up on the concept of gathering candy very quickly.

Some of the tiny little characters.
Mr. Miagi, a pretty flower, the Karate Kid, and Minnie Mouse


Our best attempt at photographing two one year olds


More pretty girls...Kate, Blair, and Addie


Andy and his new, quite muscular, policeman (it definitely says "Officer Awesome" on his name badge. ha!)







Have a blessed day!

The world needs more Addison

Inspired by Jenny's last comment on my blog, I agree...The world needs more Addison! Here is what we've been up to the last couple of days.

Picture day at school. So cute.


Mommy's shoes!




A new hat from the drying rack. So pretty.


This is how our picture taking sessions usually go. Ah the lens cap. So fun!


When the lens cap is taken away.


Our one and only Halloween decoration. A remnant of our college days. Addie found it and was quite fascinated.




I admit the arm is a little bit creepy, but the baby is cute! (And my mom's reaction was pretty funny, too.)

Balloon Fest!

Who says there's not anything fun to do in West Texas??? Last weekend, my parents, Addie, and I ventured out to Ballon Fest. It was so much fun! We looked at fun booths, watched a tandem kite team, enjoyed some live music (not quite the live music capital of the world, but it was great nonetheless!), watched the hot air balloons blow up and then watched the "glow" before heading home. (Glow is where all the balloons light up at the same time.) A great time was had by all! Here are a few shots from my dad's iphone.



With the glow of the balloons. It was hot!


This was what Addie looked like during most of our picture taking session. She preferred chasing all the dogs in the park to anything. She did NOT want to be held!


My favorite is the balloon on the left. Ha! That was my dad's thumb. Bless his heart. He is still getting used to the camera position on his new phone.


Addie was tuckered out. She loved Papa's golf glove so much, she fell asleep with it on!

Private bloggers!

I know my husband would prefer if I went private, and maybe I will one of these days. But, for now I would love to be able to see my friends seemingly long lost blogs. Leslie and Kristen, if you read this, will you please let me know how I can get an invite to view your blog. I miss seeing your babies!

Get Well Soon, Great-Granddaddy!

here is the card I made just for Great-granddaddy since he is in the hospital. (Mommy helped a little bit)


Now how can I get it all the way to Tennessee?


Maybe if I scrunch it up. Nope.


I'll try flipping it over. No luck there.


I guess I'll have to drive it there. Can't wait to see you Great-granddaddy! Get well soon!


Great-grandaddy I love you THIS MUCH!


Yay for getting better!



and bleh to being in the hospital. Get outta there soon and get to feeling great again!
