Ice cream!

We got a new camera yesterday so I took a lot of pictures today! Hopefully this will help me get more pictures posted.

Here is our day.

After her morning nap, I decided to take the camera in to get her up. I heard her talking and moving around, and here she was! She always greets us like this when she wakes up.



Addie and I then decided to go outside for a bit before lunch. She had a great time crawling around in the grass. I happened to catch her mid sneeze in this one.



And this is the face she always makes after the sneeze.



After lunch with daddy at Buffalo Wild Wings, we spent the afternoon cleaning our apartment. I won't post any pictures of that, it wasn't much fun.

We ended the day by going to grandma's softball game and then ice cream afterwards. Addie loves going to get ice cream with grandma and grandpa, and they love taking her!







Addie is now in bed, worn out from the excitement of the day. We're going to relax by watching Die Hard 2 (I love those movies!) Wayne is on another trip this weekend, so we'll spend some time with grandma and grandpa, and my grandparents who are here visiting from Arizona.

Home again!

We're finally home again! After 5 weeks on the road, it's nice to finally be back in our own place. Addie did great again. Even with two legs of the trip where we sat on the runway for 2 hours in the plane without going anywhere, she was still happy! Here are a few pictures from our last week at camp. We were at camp in North Carolina. Wayne was the speaker for the week. Addie and I played with her cousin Julia (Rachel was a cook that week.) We had a great time! Addie loved playing with her cousin and Julia did a great job of helping me with Addie.


Here she is crawling to her cousin!





We hiked up the mountain one night for dinner. This is at the top.


We took the time for a little family trip one afternoon to Andy Griffith's home town. We had a pork chop sandwich at Snappy's Lunch then took a picture in front of Floyd's Barbershop!


Julia hiked all the way up the mountain twice! I was so impressed.


And here we are at home again. She and daddy love to dance to the ipod!

Sooo big!

Addie has learned the classic childs game, "how big is Addie, soooo big!" We love to hear her giggle like this.

My first tattoo!

This week we have been near Houston at Sandy Creek Bible Camp. Wayne has been speaking this week to the Jr. Highers. We have had a great time with all of the kids. Addie loves all the attention they give her. There is another girl her this week, Lexi, who is a month younger than Addie. They love seeing each other and playing with each other. Here they are both playing with their cell phones!



The camp we are at is also about 10 minutes away from the Blue Bell factory (the best ice cream ever for those not from the south). This week is the Hundred Year Anniversary celebration for Blue Bell. They had a big celebration at the fair grounds. The best part, everything was free! It was a little strange seeing freezers of ice cream bars there for the taking. Then they had about 20 lines, each serving 4 different flavors, so you could just pick your flavor and go get a couple of scoops! It was great! Also, Addie got her first tattoo there. If you look in this picture on her leg, you can see it :)



We are over half way on our summer adventures. Only 2 weeks left! New Hampshire then North Carolina. We'll keep you updated

Standing!

This is her standing for the first time! She actually started to climb the stairs too, which is why the camera man dropped the camera pretty quickly. In the background you can hear our friend Katherine cheering her on in the background. We are staying with our friends the Novakoviches this week in Dallas, and Addie has explored every inch of their first floor. Looks like she'll be moving on to the upstairs soon!

Goodmorning

This is how Addie is when she wakes up in the mornings. She loves be in the bed with us and she climbs all over us and tries to kiss us. It helps me wake up!

On the road again...

We are starting week 2 of 5 weeks straight on the road. Here is our mascot.




Last week we were in NC at a conference. Addie was happy to have constant attention and Grandma Denny and Aunt Lauren were pretty happy too. Grandpa was more than happy to share his ice cream with her :)


All that playing got her pretty tired though, so she had to cuddle with daddy some.



this week we are in Dallas. Our first stop was Snuffers, our favorite restaurant. The have the best cheese fries in the world! Here is Addie's first ever taste of cheese fries.



We'll update with more pictures as our travels take us around the country. Also, she is crawling a lot now! We really have to keep an eye on her. Every where we go she discovers something new to get into.
