Me Love Food!!!!!

Addi's favorite activity lately is eating. She has three meals and four 8 oz. bottles a day. She eats all the time. She is pretty good about eating most things, except spinach. That gets tossed overboard off the highchair. Some of her faves are pasta pick-ups, ham, turkey, cheese, and bananas. She is getting so big and I can't believe she will be 1 in less than two months!

Big Cedar 2009

Big Cedar was a blast again this year. It is such a special time because we get to spend some down time away from the hustle and bustle with loved ones. There is no stress, just decisions about what time to go swimming and what to eat. Ahhhhh. I am so thankful for these times I really get to spend precious time with my nieces and nephews.

Some of the highlights of this trip: swimming and taking the kids on the lazy river, going on the boats, getting rained on while on the boats (not quite a highlight), Dixie Stampede, Go-carts, miniature golf, the yearly cook-out and Chad's belated b-day celebration, walking over to my parent's cabin each morning and night to see the kids., hearing Amy's stories about the boys from Kamp, and Abbi getting baptized!

Audrey went with me this year to Kanakuk to pick up Taylor. I wanted her to see Kamp and encourage her to go next year. K-Kountry is filled with God's spirit and the kids always have a blast. Hopefully, next year will be her year. (Only if her Daddy can let his little girls go for two weeks!)

Michael and Shayne came to visit!

We were sooo thrilled to have Michael, Shayne, and baby Anna stay with us, even if it was only one night. They stayed at our house the night before our Branson trip. The girls were super excited to play with Anna Helen. She tried out our swing and you can tell from the face, she loved it! I am so glad Addi has a cousin so close in age. They are so much fun to watch them play together.
Help!!! I'm in my baby jail!!!

Vegas Baby!

We celebrated Chad's birthday with another enchilada dinner, but this time I didn't have to cook. Chad's mom made is favorite meal for her little boy. We had a great dinner and enjoyed some yummy cookie cake, another favorite. Since Chad was celebrating his 35th, the girls and I made him a list of our 35 favorite things about him. He loved it and actually got a little misty-eyed (very rare occurrence)! His mom and dad also gave him a new electric air pump that he loves. Now all of the bikes tires can be quickly aired and we have no more flats!!!! Yeah for Daddy!

July 4th!

Addi Boo
