Buttercup The Bull

On Valentine's Day- we had the pleasure of attending one of my former co-workers son's 3rd birthday party-Garrett-which in my opinion surpasses any previous kids party I have ever attended...

Buttercup was his name- and he was the sweetest little- excuse me- 2500 lb. little bull that I have ever met. Take that for what it's worth... :)

His handler told us many stories about his likes and dislikes-one of them being cotton candy-I knew we had a bond the instant I layed eyes on him.

You would of thought that Addison was just riding her zebra that my parents have for her at their house. It never phased her the detrimental handiworks that this animal was capable of. Needless to say it was so much fun- and props-Jason and Amy- THE BEST kid party we've ever attended!! Can't wait to see how you top that next year!!

On the move

Addison is on the move to say the least. It is getting harder and harder to contain her in any given area...

We are also loving all the new noises,sounds, and "words" that she is expressing! She gets more animated each day that passes.

January

Fascinated with the hard woods...

Ever since Addison was little we have put her "around" the dogs from time to time -or let her see them every once in a while. But lately, she has become more curious...

Over a very short period of time, Addison has gone from rolling

around on the floor to up on all fours.





Mark was able to take a lot of time off in December over the holidays- thanks to his AMAZING boss Brandon! We took advantage and got to go to the aqaurium with Kim and Matt. Addison was in awe-though she won't remember it-she was free to get in :)

Everything since the last post...

Addison in rare form (head on daddy's chest).

They love playing together!

The Gundermans come over a lot.

We are so thankful to have such good friends with such a sweet little girl

Addison is such a good eater.

She opens her mouth like a little bird!






This is one of the girls chairs. Love the pattern!!

These are the Blasche girls! We went to visit at the beginning of December. They have a baby brother on the way in March!
