Mini Photoshoot in the Backyard

Here are some pictures taken of Addison last Friday in my backyard. THANK THE DEAR LORD for my fabulous neighbor who is a professional photographer who came over and took these. I cannot get Addison to stay in one spot, none the less look at me when I try to take a picture of her. Andrea - thanks so much!

Update on Addison: She is 14 months, no teeth, walks all over the place, loves her dolls & their highchair & tends to be a little trouble maker(I say this in a loving way :) ). Anything she is not supposed to touch or go near she tends to want to do it. She is one persistent little lady! Enjoy the pictures!

Pictures from when Aunt Jessica & Uncle Mike Came to visit

A WORD sandwich
Like Aunt - Like Niece ;)

Laughing at Daddy & Uncle Mike.

Keeping an eye on Grandma Maggie...

Here is Addison trying to steal some cheese off what Papa D & Grandma Maggie brought to the dinner party.

It was an awesome visit - and we miss Jess & Mike very much!! Hopefully we will see them soon. (PS Thanks to Jessica for sending the pictures!)

Good Morning Sunshine...

Here is Addison this morning eating some fruit cheerios before daycare :) Hope everyone has a great day!

We have a walker...

Sorry for the lack of posting. I haven't been taking many pictures lately - but I need too. I will be sure to take some this week and post them.

First off I want to say HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to my husband! I love you more than anything Erik!!

Well ladies & gentlemen - we have a walker!!! Addison started walking totally unassisted early last week. She doesn't have any teeth, but she is cruising all over the place. :) My sister & brother in law Mike were in town last weekend - and Jessica got some really cute pictures I will have to "borrow" from her so I can post them here. Uncle Mike was a big hit. Addison kept bringing him all her toys & books and wanted him to play with her.

My Mother in Law, lovingly referred to as "Grandma Smokey" sent Addison 3 baby Cabbage Patch dolls. They are dressed up as little animals, and Addison insists on carrying all 3 of them around at all times. Its pretty funny to watch, and I will try to get a video on here so you can see her in action. My Mom also bought her a play high chair, so when she is not trying to carry her babies around she shoves all 3 of them into the high chair and pushes it around the family room. She is growing up so fast -and I cannot believe that tomorrow she will already be 14 months old!

Here is the only recent picture I have of the lady. This was taken about a week and a half ago. She loves to wear her sunglasses and will bring them to you so you can help her put them on. I only got one picture before the camera died... I hope this finds you all well! More pictures to come next week!

Go RAMMIES!

Rocky Mountain Showdown is the weekend!! CSU will play CU (and hopefully win) Here is Addison sporting her CSU shirt from this morning.

Sing it with me now...."I said I'm proud TO BE A CSU RAM!" :)

I am going to have a niece!!!

I am so excited to report that my Sister in Law & Brother in Law found out today that they are going to have a little GIRL!!!!!! I am so excited for them! They are naming her Riley Alexa P...... and she is due Jan 13, 2009. They are beyond excited to be adding to their family. My brother in law has an 11 year old son C.J. (who I adore). I am sure C.J. will be excited to add a little sister to the mix!!

Congrats Carla & Cletus we are so HAPPY for you! Girls are so much fun!

My friend's daughter Ariana

I just got a cute picture of my friend Jenn's daughter Ariana, and I wanted to share it here. I blogged a couple weeks ago about her birth - and here she is at 2 weeks. TALK about a CUTIE!!! Erik and I hope to "meet" Ariana in the next couple weeks.
