My Auntie ROCKS!

AND I AM THE AUNTIE!! WOOHOOO!!! I have waited a LONG time and I couldn't be more excited. Addison is also very excited for her cousin who she thinks is a girl. CONGRATULATIONS STEPH and TRENT!!

Happy Father's Day!!

Happy Father's Day Bill, my Dad and all the others lucky enough to hold the title of Dad. Bill is such a wonderful Daddy! We are so lucky to have him. I just hope that he knows how much we love him and how appreciative we are for all he does for us! Thanks for being a GREAT Dad Bill!

I hope that Bill had a good day. Addison was SO excited to give him his presents. We put them in a special hiding spot that she knew so she went and got them right after she woke up (at 8...she must be growing). She didn't even give away the surprise. I was so proud of her. Bill got some pages in his special Fathers Day book done...hand prints of the kids, questions that I ask Addi and a picture that she drew. The other gifts were a framed picture and an apron. The other gift is a fun lounge chair for Bill to use at the pool. No gift can express how much we love Bill for all he does for us!






Thanks Renee for the cute idea....

Summer Fun!

Summer is in full swing and we have been busy...I didn't think we were going to have much going on but we do! Here is a little recap so far...swimming lessons are finished so we are ready for the pool...which is very close to being a-ok Bill was gone and I tried to be the pool girl...but I didn't do a very good job...I think I made it worse. Oh well...we will...BILL will get it fixed!!

Best Daddy EVER!

Daddy gave Addison a present....she loves it...a new pair of goggles!

So, Bill wins the best Daddy ever award because he played "Pretty Pretty Princess". This is a game where you spin for jewels and have to put them on. Bill did so! I just had to laugh and take pictures (or course!!). However, Bill was more than happy to change Landon's diaper...why ever would he want to get out of wearing the crown?

Swimming Lessons

Addison had swimming lessons last week and this coming week. She seems to like them. It is pretty low key and that is how Addison operates so it works out. They are through the City of Omaha at one of the community centers. Landon loves to watch her. Addison in the middle of lessons usually finds something to tell Landon or wants Landon to watch her. Landon usually waves and claps for her. All his new little tricks are so funny. The newest one is that he blows kisses...well kinda...he smacks his lips and then smiles at you. I'll take it as a kiss!!

Best Buds!

Landon is 10 Months Old

Really? I don't know where the last 10 months have gone. It really doesn't seem possible. Landon had a follow up appointment today for an ear infection and he was 22lbs. That is the olny stat they did since it was just a follow up. He is doing well and getting really busy. He thinks it is a great new game to wiggle out of his high chair straps and stand up in his high chair. Pretty much unless it is a 5-point harness Landon can get out of it somehow. Changing his diaper is a lot like WWF he is all over the place. He is standing up next to everything and is starting to cruise around. He has perfected his crawl though and that gets him places really fast. Happy 10 month birthday Landon!

Dancin...dancin...dancin...

he's a dance machine....



Good thing my kiddos get their dancing from their daddy!!

Just a matter of time...

I think we all knew that it was just a matter of time before this happened....



Landon would not make such a cute girl...he is surely all boy. Yesterday we walked into the commissary and they are fixing the parking lot. Landon was kinda fussing until he saw the tractors...then he was tuned in and not making a sound.

Funny Addi story (from last week)
We were sitting at the table and she took a drink of water and it went down the wrong way. She coughed a little and said to me, "hmm that water went down the wrong aisle." I just started laughing. Where does she get this stuff?
