A little bit of Peace

Got this at a garage sale for Addison, Popo thinks its his

The best of friends share everything, even a cardboard box

A big tub of oatmeal, a couple of bowls and measuring cups = hours of entertainment

Day 2 and 3

No naps, Tylenol and lots of active play. That has been the last 2 days. Addison is actually taking it very well. She struggles for a little bit when we go to put her to bed, but I think she realizes that she would rather have me hold her then cry herself to sleep. During the day she really doesn't notice.

On moving, we are going to Casa Grande. Addison and I are leaving on Oct. 4th. John is going to stay until the house is sold and then come on out. Its going to be weird, but hopefully he will be able to get a lot more done on the house.

Bye Bye Binky

So yesterday we through away the binky. I decided to do this before the move (by the way, we are moving to AZ) and I don't have any kids to watch this week. I through them away one by one while Addison was watching, and crying for them, and said bye to each. I kept her super busy yesterday and she had no nap. By 7pm she was super tired, but we struggled until 10pm to get her to sleep. She has just been so attached to that thing. This morning she woke up at 6:45. So another day begins. I'll keep you posted.

Christmas in July

I just got !my huge Little Tikes order that I have been looking forward to for 4 months. Now I have to go set it all up

Here are some other fun things I have been getting the past couple of weeks

Addison did this to herself.

Addison Enjoys. . .

Many things really, but here are a few that I have caught on camera.

Coloring with her markers. She does this left handed because when she pulls the cap off the marker is in her left hand.

Wearing dad's shoes, why ?

Getting into my draws and pulling out all of my hose.

Every day is an adventure

Fouth of July

This year we had an extra long weekend. We started celebrating on Friday at a ward member's home. They know how to through the best parties. It really reminds me of like a Riggs/Tomkinson Party. It was Big, Loud, Had lots of food and Great fireworks!! Sorry, no pictures from that, but we had a great time and Addison enjoyed the fireworks this year.

The next day we took a couple of young men to the drag races in Topeka. They were only semi-pro, but a ton of fun to watch. John got all excited when we saw the junior division. He started talking about how Addison is going to do that someday.

We then went over to John's parent's and did some of our own fireworks. Of course this is mostly for the boys.

Overall it was a fun weekend, but I'm glad to have Addison back on her regular sleep schedule.
