Funny Faces

She liked this foam chair.

I just love the different little faces that she makes.

Butterfly kisses.

Brother Sister Love

Handsome boy!

He likes his new crocs!

Snuggle time...aren't they adorable?!

First game of toss..he did really good too...tossing is his favorite thing to do.

The Dead Zoo

While in Idaho we got to attend one of Khylan's soccer games. Awesome job!

Of course I never had my camera when I wanted to take some cool scenery photos, but here is one of the mountains in the background that turned out. It is so cool having all these huge mountains around you.

Ah, the dead zoo...where else but Cabelas! That is what Khylan calls it. LOL! Paul was vicariously living through me here as I got to go to Cabelas without him. I did pick him up a few things as would any thoughtful wife....and we took a few pictures here of course.

The Stubbs

Cole, cute man! He is so funny. He is boy all the way...he loves loves loves to throw things and balls are his favorite things ever!

Little beauties!

Good picture, but where was Khylan for this one?!

Addison and I...I am usually the photo taker so there aren't too many photos of her and I so I had to take advantage of having all the extra hands around. Love those little cheeks!

Whatcha Doin'

Addison is trying to see what Khylan is doing here.

Cole has taught Addison something new to get into...uh oh! Who knew the frig had so many cool toys?!

Such sweet babies!

Khylan

Khylan amazes me so much. She is incredibly smart and kind. She has big words that Danielle and Travis swear they do not know where they come from, but she does. It is kind of funny to hear some of the things she comes up with. She is such a joy to be around. Auntie Min loves and misses you!!!

We Made it to Idaho!

We made it to Idaho! 4/22 It has been years since I have gotten to see Danielle, Travis, and Khylan...and the first time I have gotten to see Cole who is 18 months old now! Geez, time flies by so fast. It seems like yesterday that she was pregnant. I was so excited to get to meet her new little man.....

and here he is! Cole and Travis. Such a handsome little man!!!

Khylan, Danielle, and Addison....yay!!! Khylan is growing up so fast too! She is 5 going on 15! Very sweet!

Addison, Khylan and Cole...waking up.

Next Off to Idaho!

Asa took this photo before we left for the airport on our way to Idaho. He is a good photographer!

Thanks Keltners for such a wonderful time in Nevada. Addison had a lot of firsts while we were there...her first fever to note mention of...thanks for keeping me calm Keltners...medicine can be wonderful! We enjoyed visiting with you all and especially getting to be there for Jacob's BIG #1 BIRTHDAY! We also enjoyed going to California to the cabin and thanks Dave for showing me Saturn...now I want a telescope! Astronomy can be addictive. I am so lucky to have as many best friends as I do in this world and I don't know what I would do without any of them! Such a blessing. I miss you guys and look forward to seeing you all again!

Go Asa!

While in Nevada we got to go to one of Asa's t-ball games. He has really gotten into sports now. Good job Ace! I am glad I got to go see him play. He is growing into such a little man.

Aries & Leo...Cindy and I are the opposite of our children...how funny! But neither one came on either of our actual birthdays, but pretty close only missed it by a few days for each one!

Too cute!

I know this is fuzzy, but I thought it was kind of funny...just like a woman here all in his business! :)

Pool Time

Cindy got this little baby pool so we could put them in it after we got back from the park. I hope Addison continues to enjoy the water....so far she is a water baby! I need to look into swim lessons!

First Cupcake

Oh, Aunt Cindy had to give Addison her first cupcake since it was her 8 Month birthday. Looks like she enjoyed it, huh?! Most of it ended up on the floor and in pieces! However, she had fun with it. Yum yum!

Addison Grace

8 MONTHS OLD!

You can't see her face straight on in this photo, but it will work!

Addison still loves fruit, yogurt melts, the dogs, to chase the dogs, the remote, paper, baths, and her Leap Frog table (what a great buy). She also wants to walk so badly by herself and actually has taken a couple steps on her own. She can stand in the middle of the room all by herself without pulling up on anything. Crawls everywhere and gets into everything. She is really enjoying more table food these days and loves to fed herself. She actually prefers to feed herself. She says Da, Ma, Na Na (means feed me I am hungry!), Doggguh (dog), and I have heard her say cracker twice...I promise! But the first four are the everyday words. She also loves to clap...all the time! I worked with her a month everyday on clapping and as soon as she figured it out she hasn't stopped since! Of course she did this while we were in Nevada so Paul didn't get to see it for the first time, but I took pics on my phone for him...sorry babe! She waves some of the time I tell her....and we are working on high five also....they both are hit and miss.

Wow! I cannot believe she is 8 months old now. It seems weird to even say 8 months. Addison Grace you are growing up so fast little girl! As I look back who knew: one could change so much in such a short period of time, her little laugh is such a sweet sound, her smile would melt my heart, her pain is my pain, mobility is EXHAUSTING, sleep is still so precious, I think of how will that hurt her before it even happens, eating/choking is so scary, nap time is a wonderful mommy break and I am not afraid to admit it, I do miss her when she is napping, diapers get even harder to change, crawling is over rated, food is very messy, we just love her so much, that the most common things make the best toys, her amusement is our amusement, motherhood is amazing, she is amazing, that we could feel so blessed, that she would be so busy and curious, AND who knew I could love this little girl SO MUCH!?!? Mommy and Daddy both love you so much! Happy 8 Months Miss Grace!

8 Months Old Photos...

Who knew trying to take an 8 month old baby's photo while being still could be so hard?! We had it all planned on this blanket that matched her dress and everything! She just is so BUSY! She cannot be still at all. So many things to check out around her.
