Heading Back to MO

We had a great time in TN seeing everyone. Now it is time to head back to Missouri. It gets harder and harder to say good-bye. Thanks Dad for letting us take over your house and to everyone for the great time!

She mastered this little step by the time we left. At first she would stumble over it or trip, but now she is a pro.

As you know I love these shots.

Aunt Hillary surprised us early morning with a quick good-bye! How sweet! We will miss you.

Lunch in the truck on the way home. I sat her seat in the middle because I didn't want her to get too much sun sitting on the tailgate like we did on the way up. As for those of you wondering why we just didn't go inside the restaurant, well we have 3 furry animals who wouldn't appreciate that. (She ate almost a whole cheeseburger!)

Dad & His 3 Girls

I couldn't decide which one I liked the best then I decided to just post them all since it is my blog!

I think this one is my favorite.

Me and my sisters! Cheese!

Hold Me One Last Time Before I Go Back to MO

Thanks!

Thanks Pa and Nanny for the wonderful dinner and all of the fresh garden vegetables! We are glad we got to see you guys.

Corn on the Cob

Hayley was swinging Addison.

Here you can see Addison new bracelet I got her with her named engraved on it. It is so cute!

Let's see what is in Mommy's bags.

I bet that feels good on her gums!

Aunt Hayley

I know I am cute, so what!

My sis Hayley and Addison.

Addison just started propping her legs on her car seat like this. It cracks me up!!!

Pretty girls! Love the pic and the new outfit! Hayley gave me a much needed mommy break, which gave her and Addison some time together. Thank you Sis!

Granny Fay & Grandkids Plus Great Grandbaby

Addison can not only give a kiss (she smacks her tongue instead of pressing her lips together), but now can put her hand to her mouth. She just needs to move her hand away from her mouth and she will have it down pat!

Me, Addison and my only first cousins on my Mom's side of the family.

Granny Fay with all of her grand kids plus her new great grand baby.

Just Playing

Randall Allen loved holding and playing with Addison. He did so good with her! I wish they could have had a longer visit with us...I miss them!

She is talking, talking, talking...and yes, I put her in the plastic bin.

Check out my zebra peeps.

Isabell loves tug of war, while Alley loves fetch....oh, and Buddy loves being lazy!

Happy Early Birthday to Lydia!!!!

Since I would not be able to be home for Lydia's birthday I wanted to go ahead and give her our gift. Her birthday is August 4...not much longer!

Pretty girl!

I think she liked the ribbon the best!

Hmmm, what is this!?
We got her a pull wagon with blocks. You can store blocks in the wagon.

Fever

Addison and Randall Allen....how sweet! She woke up running a fever that morning and throughout the day. She was just feeling bad....wouldn't you know on her early first b-day celebration she'd feel bad, but I guess that is what can be expected at 1-yr birthday parties! Let's just hope in August for her actual birthday she feels better! LOL.

Addison on her Zebra from Poppie. She will be able to bounce a little better when her legs get a little longer. She likes to spin the beads on the front and hear the music.

Lydia liked the zebra! She is just long enough to bounce herself! Too cute!

More from the Party

Addison loves Josh! If she saw him she wanted him to hold her! It was so cute. Josh and Mindy will be good parents one day.

Addison with Poppie...she is just waking up.

Addison and Shelby....stretch!

Rhonda Kay is helping Lydia practice walking. You can tell she is so into this baby and being a grandma! She loves her so much! Love it!

Pa

Watching the volley ball game...cute!

Pa is good with babies....

...look there he is with Baby Lydia....look her big smile! She is beautiful!
