19 Months

Monday, May 23, 2011

Addie turned 19 months just over a week ago. I know it sounds cliche, but she's really growing up so fast (I only realize this when I actually take the time to reflect). Only five months until she's two! Crazy! Addie is a jabber head and she's starting to become a real copy cat - we parents better watch our months! ;) She's starting to say prayers - kinda (a for effort, right!?). Addie is also starting to pretend play more and more. Her pretend telephone conversations are funny to listen to. They go something like this: "Hello", "Good", "OK", "Bye, See you". Addie wants to be a helper. However, her attention span is still small and she can't focus on a task for too long. It's amazing to watch her learn. Addie is starting to learn her shapes and colors. She still loves books.
This past weekend we were able to visit my family while Bob was coaching at State Track in Casper. We had a great time being together. Addie absolutely loves all the extra attention. We were also able to celebrate Aunt Katie's 21st birthday during our visit and listen to PaPa speak in church, so it was great timing. The only bad part was the constant rain, so we were stuck in the house. At least we were stuck together! We had a wonderful time! Thanks, Fam! We Love You!

Easter 2011

Sunday, May 1, 2011

We had a fantastic Easter! My parents, Nick and Lindi, and Richard and Katie were all able to come to our home for a fabulous Easter weekend (you can't tell from the pictures - we ended up with only pictures of Addie). Addie absolutely loved being the center of attention. She is one loved little girl. Addie received some wonderful Easter gifts. Grandma bought Addie two Easter dresses. Aunt Lindi made more adorable hair bows - matching pairs for pigtails. Addie's hair was fixed super cute over the holiday weekend with the help of Lindi and Katie. We spent our time egg hunting, egg dying, eating, playing games, chit chatting, and watching a movie. Easter Sunday was great as we all went to church together and enjoyed a traditional Easter dinner before everybody hit the road. It was incredible to spend time all together. We love you all! Thanks for making the trip.
