Pumpkin patch





we took addison to a pumpkin patch in Laurel. she had so much fun. it would have been a beautiful day minus the crazy wind. she loved the pumpkins. we took a hay ride to the corn maze, and had to find our way through the maze to get to the pumpkin patch.

Wow! Life has been so crazy lately, and it seems as though there is never enough time to complete my "to do" list. we have been so wrapped up with the house lately, it is hard to tell which way is up. we painted the weekend of halloween, with the AWESOME help from my mom and dad and little sister, as well as brock's dad. we started on friday and finished on sunday, and then brock started putting in the flooring on monday with the help from travis. and it is supposed to be done by next wednesday the 19th....YIPPEE!!!!!!!!! that is great, except that we still have to pack the apartment, file for address change, sign all the paperwork and move.....so, i guess i shouldn't be cheering yet! :) anyway, enough about the house.
addison is growing like a weed and has become quite the little 'chatterbox'. she likes to copy anything that you say. she loves to play with her "babies". she is such a good little mommy. it is amazing how girls just seem to have that natural nurturing ability. she is into everything and loves to color(on everything). she will be 18 months old december 1st. where does the time go?

brock and i are busy with work. we actually got to get out of town this past weekend and go to bozeman, because i had to take a class for work. not really relaxing for me, but it was for addison and brock. and work paid for our motel, so that was an added bonus. we got to see my brother and his wife as well as my sister, so it was a lot of fun
well, sorry it has taken me so long to post any new pictures. I promise that there will be more soon, when we get settled into the house.
God has been ever so faithful to us. sometimes i get too caught up in "life" and too stressed out to really take a step back and realize that God is in control, and that He will take care of everything; we just need to have a little faith. that has been my focus recently...to just stop and relax for a moment and trust in God. I am so blessed by what God has given me...my family, my husband, my daughter, my job, my health....the list could go on forever. thank you Jesus for all that You have done for me, despite the fact that I don't deserve a single bit of it. Thank you for making me stop and enjoy the moment instead of stressing about the next thing that needs to be done. I love You Jesus!

Bozeman

one of the few pictures we actually took while we were there
addison loves to talk on the phone

I was on the phone, so addison picked up the phone in the room and she copied everything I said

Thanks melissa for being such a help in watching addison so we could work on the house.

Our little ladybug




addison was a ladybug for halloween, although we didn't go trick or treating because we were busy painting our house. oh well, addison didn't know the difference. gramma gave her lots of candy anyway.
