Addy's Counting!

Addy has been working on her counting. She's been able to count to 10 in French for some time now, but now she's learning to count to 10 in Spanish. She's getting pretty good too. The video is a little loud, so be prepared to turn it down. Enjoy!

Addy's New Big Girl Bed






Well, since we are having another baby, Addy has to give up her mattress that she's slept on since she was born. Poor thing.....how mean of her little brother to already be taking things away from her....and he's not even born yet. No worries! Addy just got a new big girl bed. It's a twin size bed and she loves it! We just decked it out with brand new bedding this past weekend. Here are some pictures of her new bed and her posing on it.

What's Going On With My Belly?









Hello! It's that time again for more belly pictures. It seems like I just keep on growing...which is to be expected I guess. It's really starting to get fun now.....uncomfortable, but fun. Addy and Jarid have fun watching and feeling Ayden kick and squirm in my belly. Just last night, Addy told me to watch her belly..."You hear that?" she said. "That's my baby brother moving in my belly!" Then she made me feel her belly. She's so funny. Those are the times when I need the video camera attached to my hip. Enjoy the pictures and there will be more in 4 more weeks.

















The Easter Bunny Came!!

Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter! We sure did. Addy was so excited that the Easter Bunny came to her house. He hid eggs everywhere.....and she found them all. She really enjoyed herself this year. The Easter Bunny didn't bring her too much candy at home, but he sure left A LOT at Grandma Bobby's and Maw Maw Kathy and Paw Paw Dave's. I think the grand total of baskets was 6!! Crazy. She did really well though, since she didn't get a nap in. I guess that's what a sugar high is good for. She got to hunt for eggs at Maw Maw Kathy and Paw Paw Dave's house, which was really fun for her and her cousin Alaina. They fought a little over their baskets of eggs and candy, but all was well in the end. Then she crashed pretty hard on the way home. Not enough to keep her down once we got home though. Since she hadn't eaten anything for dinner but candy...she was ready for her favorite....hot dog and ketchup!! Enjoy the pictures!






















Baseball is BACK !!
