Happy Easter

We've had a great Easter this year. I got called into work yesterday and had to miss out on the fun Easter activities but Shaun and Addie had a lot of fun! They went to our friends house and colored Easter Eggs and had a fun Easter egg hunt. I got home in time for naps and a yummy dinner! Then today before we went to church Shaun took Addie outside to take her picture and it was so cold that Addie didn't want to be out there taking pictures, she kept saying "I freezing!" So we took one and rushed back inside! We went to church this morning and to dinner with family tonight!




Addie did much better at getting eggs this year but sometimes had a hard time getting them in her basket!


Here are some pictures from the weekend!

This is Shaun's little home-based business he's working on. He just got his new vinyl cutter and is really excited to start drumming up business. His friend Tyler is working on a website they can sell stuff from.

Pregnancy Update

I'm now about 7 months along and realized I haven't taken any pregnancy pictures. I must have been more excited to see how much I grew with Addie because I know I took more photos last time around. At least I got one in with a couple months left to grow! And for those of you I don't get to see very often you can see me pregnant.
I'm feeling great and I'm still getting lots of sleep and enjoying every moment of it! My favorite part about being pregnant is having the baby move around and kick and poke at my insides all day. It is the neatest feeling and my favorite part of being pregnant!!







Addie likes to try on Shaun's motorcycle helmet so I had to get a picture. It is so big on her that I think she'll fall right over when she tilts her head too far forward or back.

New Car Seat

We got Addie a new car seat this week. She was using an older one that we got from her cousins and when we got it the clip that connects the straps on her chest was missing so we borrowed the clip from her infant car seat. We are going to need to use the clip on the infant car seat soon so it was time to get a new one for Addie.














Addie loved helping her dad adjust the straps and add the fun cup holder, arm rests and tray! This car seat is a much softer than her last one!

Addie Turns 2!

Feb. 20 was Addie's 2nd birthday! It was a really fun day! Her Grandpa and Grandma Summers called in the morning from South Africa on their mission to sing Happy Birthday to her and talk for awhile. We had play group at our house so she got to play with a lot of other kids. And the two of us got to hang out all day together and play with her Mickey Mouse balloons and new presents! We did most of the celebrating when Shaun got home from work so she had to wait most of the day to open presents and have her cake.We had some friends over to help celebrate we had dinner, which Addie didn't want to eat and then she got to blow out candles, which she didn't want to do (she is in the typical toddler "I don't want to do that" mode) and then we got to eat the cake! Addie did like that and she did like opening presents! You'll notice in all the pictures she is wearing a new outfit. I think on this particular day she changed about 5 times. She did get some new clothes for her birthday and when she opened them, she instantly wanted to try them on, typical girl, right?!! She doesn't usually change that many times a day but she doesn't like to keep the same clothes on all day.



She got a sing along song book from her Grandpa and Grandpa Summers that has a microphone attached. She loves to sing along, she loves it! The only flaw in the book is we can't find an off button for when she needs to take a break from it.
















This is the 3rd attempt trying to get Addie to blow out her candles. She just didn't want to, so the rest of us took turns blowing them out for her.


This is Addie getting her new chair for her birthday! She loves little chairs that she can carry around the house. She also got new clothes, a puzzle, a notebook and pen to draw with. She loves to draw and is really good. She will draw circles and then color them in, and she will do it for hours, she also wants us to draw people or animals or random things for her, too. Sometimes she will draw detailed "pictures" and say it is a chair or a butterfly. This morning she actually did draw a heart and was really excited to show me!
