It's been way too long!

I can't believe how long it has been since I last updated this thing! I LOVE it when everyone else updates and I love reading everyone's stuff, but then I don't do it myself. We have had such an unbelievable past 2 months and can not believe that it is December already this week! Here are a few special moments from those months to re-cap!

I have thoroughly been enjoying my kids at school this year~ and even more so, my little munchkin at home! We had a cute little ladybug for Halloween who is showing symptoms of her mommy's love for candy already! Our "knee crawler" is WALKING all over the place! I just sit back and love watching her waddle all over the place! She entertains herself by getting into everything and anything that she probably shouldn't! She jabbers and talks her own language which just melts my heart! She is a little cuddler and loves to sit on my lap to read books~ she flies through a book in less than 10 seconds and is on to the next! Both Addy and I had Pneumonia and she even went into the ER~ which wasn't so fun! She has also learned to eat with her own fork!! This weekend we put up all the Christmas decorations and now it's "Don't Touch! Pretties!!!" She loves all the "balls" on the tree and it will be an interesting month! My camera has been having some issues~ so Jeffrey bought me one on black Friday! So hopefully I can update easier and faster with that!! Here are a few pics that I can add for viewing pleasure!!

Addisyn's 1 year pictures

Addisyn has an amazing auntie who is a "professional"photographer :) (or at least I think she could be!)~ and we were privileged to have Auntie Rachel do some picture taking while they were here visiting from California! I want to thank her so much for all her work and her time getting these pictures done for me!! I love them and wanted to share a few with the rest of you!

Where has the month gone?

Well, it obviously has not been a priority for me to update my blog~ but I have wanted to! There just seems to always be something else to do, clothes to clean, dinner to make, groceries to buy, toys to pick up, diapers to dump, and best of all cheeks to kiss!! Our little Addy has totally just become her own little person lately and she is a bundle of joy and tons of fun! She does something new and "so" big each week~ or at least big to us! She started to take her first steps and she loves dancing which I hope to get a video up for you to enjoy soon! We have had a such a fun month and I want to at least get some pictures up on here because that is the best part of blogs! Enjoy!! My camera was missing for awhile in there too :(

My baby girl is 1!!!

All day today it has been so fun for me to remember where I was at and what was happening 1 year ago!! I went into school while having little contractions~ and then as the afternoon wore on~ the contractions became worse and worse~ to the point of I couldn't teach~ and had to leave my kids saying I was feeling kind of sick! We headed to the hospital and had a great time after the epidural~ and at 8:30 pushed for 20 minutes~ and there she was!! Our beautiful GIFT from God Addisyn Ranae!! This year has gone by so fast and I can honestly say all the good time far outweigh the hard times. Addy was a little tough her first 3 months, and didn't like to nurse~ but all the awesome times and memories with her could be a list that goes on and on!! As I laid her down tonight~ she cuddled so cozy and sweet next to me~ it brought tears to my eyes to think about how blessed I am to have her in my life!! I LOVE you ADDY!!
