Addie Turns 3!!!

Today is my little Addie's birthday!! Crazy!! She is 3 years old. She has been waiting for this day for about 3 months. She tells everyone she sees when her birthday is and how old she will be. I just can't believe that it is already here.

Here are a few things about Addie at this age:

-She is CRAZY!!! Seriously-we don't know what to with her half of the time and the other half you are laughing your heads off at what she is doing.

-She loves to sing. In particular: I am a child of God and Children were gathered round Jesus.

-She is a complete ham...she will do anything to make people laugh

-She loves Rice and cheese.

-She adores her older sister Macie and loves to play whatever she is playing.

-She is very, very sensitive.

-She is so fun loving and we don't know what we would do without her!!

We had a little bbq on Saturday night with some friends and did the cake and singing then.She chose a guitar cake this year. I am not sure why, she just really liked it, so thanks to online tutorials...this is the result.Here she is as we sing her happy birthday!Here are the kids singing.Here she is blowing out her candles! So Cute!This morning she woke up at about 7:30 and walked into our room and said: "Can I open my presents now?" How do you say no to that....so away she went. Here she is with the first present. (polly pockets)Here she is with her princess shoes. She chose these out at a store about 6 months ago and I have been hiding them ever since. I don't think she even remembered.These are my little ponies. This is her baby doll. She was super excited about this. It is just what she wanted. It came with a bed and baby swing. The girls have been fighting over it all day.....She is trying to put the binkie in the baby's mouth.

Happy Happy Birthday Addie!! We love you!!

Things we've up to

Here is a little update on our lives. Geoff has started working and is really enjoying his job. The girls and I are hanging out and learning how to play without friends constantly around. It has a been a harder adjustment than we anticipated, but we are slowly making friends and doing things. We are getting used to the heat here and are doing a lot of swimming. Let's just say that we all have a good tan.Here are the girls on their first day of Gymnastics class. They were sooooo excited!!!Here is Addie with a bunch of tape on herself. They thought that they were hilarious!!We have been doing a lot of swimming. Here is Macie showing me that she can swim the whole length of the pool and keep her head underwater. Pretty cool.Here is Addie showing me her swimming moves. I LOVE the goggles on this kid! Hilarious!!Macie jumping into the pool. Each time she tries a different trick. She is crazy and loves the water!
A friend told us about Chic Fil A eat more chicken day, where if you dress up like a cow you get a free meal...so we did it with her. Totally not a me thing to do, but we are desperate to hang out with people so we went along with it and it was actually alot of fun!! The kids loved it and I loved the adult interaction!! Here are the girls and their friends in their cow outfits!
