Some precious pics

Addison is growing and changing so much! I've decided her new nickname should be Ham Sandwich because she is constantly hamming it up and being a goofball. It's not like she has to try to get attention, she is constantly the center of it, but she sure does look for new ways to get attention...all the time! She has been chattering up a storm for quite some time, but we are now able to understand so much more of what she says. She is working really hard at communicating with us so she can get what she wants. She is such a blast! We've taken a few really cute and totally random pictures of her lately that I thought I'd share

She was sniffing the berries

the Itsy Bitsy Spider is climing up the water spout

Look at my lollipop!

She has really gotten into dressing up with her sisters, here she is Ro from Barbie, Island Princess

This is her "cheese" face

Yesterday she found the stash of kids makeup, grabbed a compact of it and had a seat in the hallway. Greg quickly grabbed the camera...

"Oops...sooooo busted!"

"Oh, hi Daddy! I was...uh..."

"just covering my face in this gooey, glittery stuff"

"and see, this stuff goes on your lips. Now smile..."

"No, you can't have this. It's mine and I LOVE it!"

Then, she disappeared into the bathroom. We assumed she was dipping into the makeup stash again, but this is actually how we found her:

I can't believe she is almost 2! What a sweetheart, a blessing and a joy she is!

Fall Carnival

My sister is a Youth Director (that's probably not the right title...but you get the idea) of a Presbyterian Church here in the wonderful town of the cow and last Saturday they held their fundraising Fall Fest. Of course I took the girls (while Greg stayed home and watched the first Mean Green victory of the season) and we had a blast! Here are some pictures for you to enjoy...

They enjoyed the bouncy slide

Fishing

Face Painting

Games Galore

more arts and crafts then we have space for

Addison even went on a pony ride!

They did take an occasional break for a diet coke

or thumb sucking...

We had a blast the whole time! Thanks Nini for allowing us to participate with your church and thanks Pappy and Gommy for playing with us!
