It's party time!







I decided to let Addie have a friend birthday party this year now that she's 2. We kept it small and just did a Pool party, Lu'au theme. The kids played outside and it was so fun to watch them play together. Addie has been looking forward to this party for weeks.

gRoWiNg FaSt...

Addie is only a few weeks away from her second birthday already! Wow time goes by so fast! She is so much fun to be around! Here she is counting to 10 for the first time on video! She just learned how to do it last night. So this morning I tested her knowledge and it stuck!

She is doing extremely well with potty-training. She hasn't had any accidents in over a month! It is so great to be able to totally trust her now and not be worried about bringing a change of clothes with me every were. She learned so quickly.. within a week she was in underwear all day with no accidents. She is talking so much more now. She will copy most of the words I say when I'm not even talking to her. She really picks up on a lot of things. (I better be careful.) She is excited for her birthday party and has had fun helping me buy things for it. She is most excited for her friends, balloons, and cake.. she says.

Addie is such a tender, loving child. She has so much love to give. She is almost always happy and making people laugh. She is obedient and helpful. A complete joy in my life! We are very blessed!

Lake Powell

We just got home from a great week at Lake Powell. Addie had so much fun swimming and playing with the extended family. She did great on the drive there and back too. We hiked up to this place called Rainbow Bridge, luckily it was only a mile away because it was HOT!! Addie did great because she got to ride on Daddy's shoulders the whole way! Poor Josh. We stayed on a really nice house boat and had a great time with family!

Addie loves to help Josh wash the car. She gets bubbles all over herself. She is quite the helper!!
