Swimming in the "Big" Pool for the first time

We took Addison swimming for the first time in a "big" pool this weekend. We met up with Lorie (Nana), Tate & Jack for a couple hours of swimming fun! Addison was pretty nervous at first, but did a great job once she got used to it. Here are some pictures from the afternoon.

My 2 loves :)

Erik & the kiddos.

Jack & Tate playing with their diving sticks. Tate is now 6, and Jack will be 5 in October. They are so grown up!! :)

Addison is the next Michael Phelps ;)

Here is Addison swimming this weekend at the Wildcat Reserve pool in Highlands Ranch. It took her about 15 minutes to get used to the water, but she LOVED it once she got used to it.

Addison's 1st B-day Party

Addison's first b-day party was this weekend and it was a lot of fun! We had about 30 people over for a Qdoba taco bar, cake & ice cream. Addy was so spoiled and got lots of great presents. Thanks to all who came to celebrate our little girl's 1st Birthday!

Here is her cake. King Soopers did a really good job, and matched the party "theme" perfectly

The table before the food arrived.

Little Miss Gianna giving Addy Shea a b-day hug. Gianna is so sweet, and is so good to Addison. You can already tell Addison thinks she is the greatest kid ever!

Here is Addison & Miss Robin. Robin was Addy's favorite at Parker Landing, and it was so nice of Robin to come over and see her. Addison still ADORES her. We need to have Robin over MORE often!

Here is the Birthday girl opening one of her many presents. She loved everything!!

Besides the presents - Addison loved all the tissue & bags. She was happy as a cat just to sit in the gift bag!


We gave her a little smash cake to eat/play with. You can see the video below of how she did. This was the before shot. I sadly didn't get an after picture :( I can assure you she loved it though!

Addy Shea hearts Smash Cake :)

We gave Addison a little smash cake at her party to play with. She loved it :) Erik whisked her away to get her cleaned up and she was able to re-join the party pretty quickly. ;)

Happy 1st Birthday to Addy Shea!!

Today is Miss Addison's 1st Birthday!!! This has honestly been the BEST year of my life, and I am so blessed to have a healthy, beautiful daughter!! Her Birthday party is on Saturday, but I wanted to do a quick post on her b-day. Happy Birthday Addison - you are so loved!!

Here is Addy this morning. Trying to get this kid to sit still for 1 minute proved to be quite a challenge. This was the best picture I could get :)

Here is our little lady on July 10th of last year. I cannot believe how fast a year goes by and how fast she has grown!!
