A princess piggy bank from Uncle Nate and Aunt Mary!
(she's taking donations!)
Grandma Sharon giving her toast to Nate and Mary.
Addy, Grandma Sharon and Pete.
He was telling Addy, "Don't smile!" This was the only way we got her to smile for any pictures all weekend.
(my little worried girl!)
Of course she was a goofball, spaz when we got back to our room after the dress rehearsal dinner. And did not want to sleep. We kept hearing, "hey guys" "guys?" Until she finally fell asleep after 10:00pm.
Uncle Nate reading Addysen a flower girl book at breakfast, the day of the wedding.
Uncle Nate and Addysen
(too cute for words! if only i could figure out how to crop the photographer out!)

Addysen and Daddy
(of course she never cooperates for picture when you want her to! - I guess that's being 2.)
Aunt Mary and the ring bear - her nephew.
(a happy little fella)
Aunt Mary and Addysen
Grandma Sharon and Addysen
Addysen - right before the wedding started....
Why no more pictures of the wedding???
Addysen froze:( She just couldn't make it down the aisle! I guess there were too many people. That's okay - she was still the cutest flower girl I have ever seen! We're still going to keep her!
Feeding her new baby.
(a little gift from Mommy and Daddy, because she was a good girl!)
Lovin her new baby!
Dancing all alone! She was so excited, she wanted to start dancing as soon as we walked in.
She finally found someone that would dance with her!
(this was before the "real" dancing started - a lot of people were still eating)
Addysen was so excited to dance with Aunt Mary to her favorite song - "She's Country"
Addysen saved a dance for her buddy/"fill in" babysitter - Lois
The Link Family

Grandma K's Ouchie

Grandma K fell off a ladder 2 weeks ago and broke her leg! She had surgery and they placed two pins in her leg. She is doing well now and going through rehab at Marigold's Pathways. She seems to be in good spirits, but is starting to get sick of being there. Hopefully we'll hear soon how much longer she has to be there. So please send good thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery. (Craft show season is about to be in full bloom - Mom's favorite thing to do!)

This is a picture of Mom before she had surgery.
Now, before any of you say I'm insensitive for taking her picture while she is in the hospital... She told me to. Between the pain of the muscle spasm, she said, "Take my picture, I wanna see what I look like." So I obeyed my Mother.... I'll be kind though and not show the funny pictures Tammy and I took of her while she was sleeping in a fighter's defence position (he he)
She loves us!
Addysen has been very concerned about Grandma K's ouchie. So a few days ago we went and put some special band aids on Grandma's knee to make her feel better. 3 princess band aids and 3 Elmo band aids. With that combination she should be healed in no time!

A rainbow!

A couple of weeks ago, we were sitting out on our patio eating supper and Addysen saw her first rainbow!

I just love it when she sits there on the edge of the patio. She looks so little and cute!

Happy Birthday Grandma K!

Addysen and I took Grandma K out for her birthday. Then treated her to DQ! We had a fun girls night!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOMMA -we love you!

What a girl!



Swimming at home

How cute is she?!

hugging her pool buddies - her piggies.

Look at that girl kick!

DRAMA QUEEN!!!

MOVIE STAR!!

ACTRESS!

Beach Time - FINALLY!

Finally, we've had some hot weather on the weekends so that we could get to the beach. We all had so much fun! It was hot and we were all exhausted by the end of the day, but well worth it!

I LOVE THE BEACH!!!

Just testing out the water...

Still not sure if she wants to get in.

Sure, I'll get in and take a ride on Grandma K.

After swimming, the kids played at the playground for a while. Caleb, the only boy with us, found the mud pit at the end of the slide!

WHAT A BOY!

The two pretty girls taking a swing!

Resting and having a snack after a long day of fun!
