HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

Happy Halloween! I have been horrible about updating the blog lately. I have been preparing for a craft show that I am doing with my friends Casie and Renee. It has been a lot of fun but a lot of work. I hope it goes well...it is this Saturday!

Our Little Pumpkins!

We had a fun trip to Vala's again this year. I really think that place is great! It is a bit on the cheesy side but it is still loads of fun. Included of course was a PHOTO SHOOT! Addi and Landon were pretty cooperative. Either way they are some cute little pumpkins....and we love them!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ADDISON!

I really really can not believe that our little girl is 4! Addi's birthday celebration started on Friday when she brought treats to school. Then on Saturday she had a super fun candy themed party for all of her friends, Nana and Auntie! I think she had a wonderful day. She consumed her weight in sugar so I would call that a successful birthday!!

Our Beautiful 4-Year-Old

Addi and Landon

Addison's birthday was a fun Candy-themed birthday party. And after being at Megan's birthday party this summer really wanted to break a Pinata. It was fun seeing all the kids take a crack at the big orange owl. Addison and Daddy ended up finishing it off.







Addi had fun opening presents....she was still a little overwhelmed but did well and tried to read the cards first most of the time! She got lots of fun presents that she has had lots of fun playing with this week!

Auntie & Addi...we are very thankful that auntie and nana could come to Omaha and help out!

Anniversary Celebration....a bit early!

Sept 16- For our Anniversary Bill and I decided back in April that we were going to go and see Jersey Boys. My parents willingly came down and stayed with the kids while we had dinner at Dixie Quicks and went to the show. The restaurant was really good. It was featured on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives on the food network. It surely could be considered a dive. If we hadn't gotten a recommendation for the place I am not so sure we would have gone there. The food was really good and the people that worked there were really nice. Well, if you don't mind be called "love" by a guy! I was willing to overlook it because the food was good!

Then onto Jersey Boys.......AMAZING. That is all I can say! If you haven't seen it you should. The guy that played Frankie Valli was truly amazing. I had to remind myself that I wasn't listening to a recording. I think this might be at the top of our list for favorite shows. Lion King still takes the cake I think....but it is almost in a different category. Great show with a terrific husband! I can not believe that we are soon celebrating 9 years of being married. Where does time go? And am I really that old? Yikes!

Mommy Addi Date

So today there was a craft fair at one of the area churches that a couple of ladies from my stamp group were going to be at. Addison and I decided to check it out. A couple of weeks ago Addison got to have a date with Daddy they went to see the Lion King in 3D....so it was my turn for a little fun time with my little girl. We had a great morning and she even got to pick out a treat at the bake sale! Here is my cute little girl!



Addi had to bring a purse and in it of course was a notebook and a pen (she is mine after all!!) So while we were walking through the craft fair here Addison has her little notebook out and is writing a list so she says! She just cracks me up!

Iron Baby Training....

So I think Landon is starting a new training program for the Iron Baby competition. We have a little picnic table that Addi likes to sit at to do projects and such. Addison was sitting on the bench and Landon was pushing her across the room. Insane! Landon is crazy strong! He must take after Daddy!!

Flowers

So after church we had to stop at Sams to pick up a few things. Well Addison and Bill decided to surprise me with flowers....that Addison picked out. They were purple...her favorite color....when we got home and she gave them to me I of course was thrilled. I am pretty sure they were filler but they were beautiful to Addison and therefore to me too! She is a very thoughtful little girl (they have lasted forever!!!!)
