our summer
so as you can see by the many photos below, we have been very busy (either that or i am just a slacker at keeping things posted). this summer has just flown by, I am not sure where all the time has gone. we would have loved to do more than we actually did, but there never seemed to be time. we are both still busy with work. brock has been doing side projects as well, the biggest has been my sister's wedding. he was the photographer and did an amazing job, and because he is a perfectionist, he is still not finished working on her photos....he has spent countless late nights making them all look awesome! Addison is growing like a weed, and she is not a baby anymore she is a "BIG Girl". she is miss independent and soaks everything in. we have a few videos that i will try to post one of these days. she can count to 13 (that is the number of stairs we have to the basement). she knows her ABCs and her colors are coming along. she loves to read books and help mommy in the kitchen. we are still working on potty training...that is not going so well. she just doesn't really care. she will go on the toilet every once in a while, but only by accident. she loves to sit on the toilet and "try" to go to the bathroom to get a piece of candy, but doesn't actually go. everytime she sees a baby, she tells me that she is going to have a baby sister on saturday...not sure where that came from. maybe someday. she loves wearing pretty dresses and would wear them all day everyday if we let her. she is such a blessing to us and just looking at her makes me smile. well, that is enough about out little kiddo for now. i hope you all enjoy the photos.
Yellowstone Park
We made a quick weekend trip to Yellowstone National Park with my little sister, Nichole and had such a good time. we could have stayed there for a week and still not seen everything we would have liked to. here are a few shots of what we did see.
Nichole's wedding
This is my whole side of the family...
Me and my sisters
My little sister got married in June, and we all got to play a special part in her day. Addison was a flower girl along with her cousin Maegan. I was the matron of honor, and Brock was the photographer. here a few shots of us
Playing with "Tay doh"
daddy made a grasshopper
Addi loves to play with play doh. we make lots of things, but especially balls and snakes.
The Fair
We took Addi to the fair for the first time....and she absolutely LOVED it. she wasn't too thrilled with the animals..she liked them from afar, but she wanted to go on the rides over and over again. she said her favorite ride was the REALLY BIG SLIDE! gramma was up visiting so she got to come along too.

our little builder
so, brock entered this calender competition at work, and so we had a little photo shoot with addi next door where they are building a house. they were all so stinkin' cute, i had to put some on here.
mothers day

Busyness of life
First i must apologize for all of you whom check daily for updates to our blog.....you have probably given up on me long ago. But, here are SEVERAL new photos, so i am hoping you all forgive my laziness in updating. so much time has past since i last posted, i am not even sure what to say. we gave up on the potty training thing for a while. addison was interested and did great for a few weeks, and then....not so much!!!! we changed addison's crib into a BIG GIRL bed, and she has yet to sleep in it. she would rather sleep on the floor on a pile of her blankets and wake mommy up several times throughout the night to come and join her. AUGH!!!!!!! needless to say, mommy is wondering if this big girl bed was a good idea. addi no longer has her "paci" (pacifier). she gave them to baby avery, because she is a big girl now, and she likes to tell me that all the time. "I A BIG GIRL" with each and every word drawn out and emphasized. she is talking up a storm and loves being outside. she is putting sentences together, and my favorite line she says lately is "what you doing guys?" she loves watching "carntoons". she moved up to the infants room at daycare and now she is with a little bigger kids, so she is picking up on new things constantly. we have been preparing the yard for a fence and sod, and so have been outside on the nice days picking rocks. addi has her own little bucket and shovel and loves helping. we are enjoying being in our new house and can't wait until we have a yard for addi to play in instead of dirt. work is going good for both brock and i. brock is loving his new job and staying busy with other projects as well. we stayed here for easter, and had a great time, just the 3 of us. addi loved searching for eggs and dyeing them. well, i think that is all for now. this mommy needs some sleep before she gets woken up by little miss addi. hope you all aren't too mad at me for taking so long to post some new pics.
Easter
Our church put on a huge easter egg hunt, so we decided to take addison. they even dropped eggs from a helicopter. addison had soooo much fun.
Playing Puppy
Crouching tiger, hidden....Addi
addison came home from daycare with puppy ears. boy were they fun!!
Divisionals Basketball
my parents and brocks parents came to stay with us during basketball divisionals, and we had a great time. addison loved going to the ball games. and paapa and grammy even took addison to chucky cheese and she LOVED that
