Who says Girls can't play with balls

So anybody that knows Aaden knows that he has loved balls since he was very little. As soon as we brought Addie home he wanted to play catch with her. It took a couple of weeks for him to understand that she is too little to play catch but he is very determined so instead of playing catch with her he would always try to get her to hold onto the ball. Well, after much time and determination it finally happened. While I was making dinner the other night Addie was laying on the floor and Aaden was next to her trying to get her to hold the ball. Aaden was so excited and said, "Mom, Addie finally holding the ball." I turned around and sure enough she had the ball in her hand and held it for like ten minutes (trying to put it in her mouth). The last picture is Aaden being so excited that his little sister took grasp of the ball.







I also included some pictures of the Pumpkin patch where Aaden got to pick out his pumpkin!!!

Addies Special Day

A couple of weeks ago we had friends and family over for Addie's blessing. Aaron gave his little girl a beautiful blessing. Nothing makes me happier knowing that Aaron can give me or the kids a blessing whenever we need it. After the blessing we ate lots of food. We just want to thank everybody for coming and sharing this special day with us(and thank you Michael and Jeremy for coming in from hunting to be there, Aaron appreciated it)!!!

Man Time sure does FLY...

Gosh, August flew right by us. With going to Mexico, Camping and playing lots of softball I can't believe that August is over and we are almost half way through September. Addie is already 2 months old and getting so chubby. She is smiling all the time and is such a good baby. With all her hair she just looks so much older to me then a 2 month old. Attached is pictures of what the kids have been up to the last month.







Aaden is growing up so fast. He says the funniest things. For example, the other day he said, "Mom you need to chill out." I must tell him to chill out a lot. Usually he tries to be a big helper like trying to put Addies pacifer in her mouth or goes and gets a diaper but he still likes to be a little stinker and poke her eyes or push her to hard in her swing.













Oh yeah, I included a picture of what I have been up to. That's right, that is my kitchen AKA my office for the last couple of days. My kitchen has been under all these shirts and sweatshirts for the high school while I put names and numbers on them. Thank goodness the shirts are all finished and have been delivered so my kitchen is back to normal.

Rocky Point

So last week my family all decided to go to Rocky Point. Devin and Jolynn know somebody that has a house there so we rented it from them. I wasn't very excited to go at first since I had just had a baby 2 weeks earlier and not exactly in top swimsuit shape and I was a little nervous taking Addie to Mexico but everything turned out fine. The house was very nice and the weather was perfect. We hung out at the beach all day, rode the banana boats, rode jet skis, played cards all night and enjoyed every body's company. Aaden loved playing in the water with his daddy and all of his cousins. Above are some pictures of the fun.

Our Newest Addition

On Tuesday the 15th we had our baby Girl
Addie Rae
She weighed 7lbs 10 ounces with tons of black hair.




This is the 1st time Aaden got to meet his new sister.



We all LOVE her so much and can't get enough of her. Aaron and I can't take our eyes off of Aaden because he is so curious and wants to be so close to her that he tries to crawl in the bassinet or the bouncer. He is already very protective and anytime somebody he doesn't know wants to see her he gets right next to her and says, "My sister" like he is protecting her.

Summer Fun!!!

Finally the wind has stopped blowing for about a week and Aaden has got to enjoy the weather by being out side. He loves playing in the water. He has ran through the sprinklers in his birthday suit a couple of times, played on the slipping slide he got for his birthday with his cousins and then he got to play with his cousins with the baby pool Kadee got for her birthday. He loves all of them. Nikki just put their big pool up so he got to do that yesterday and loved it. Hopefully he will know how to swim by the end of summer. Below are some pictures using Kadee's pool(I forgot to take pictures for the other things).
