Miss Morgan buried my poor Addysen in the sand... she thought it was so cool!

Niabi Zoo

Lisa, Lindsay, Baby Peighton, Addysen and I made a trip to Niabi Zoo last Friday. We had a great time. It was HOT (0f course) so there was not too many animals out to see, but we still had a lot of fun!

Addysen's favorite thing to do, ride the pony's!
She now thinks that Daddy will buy her one... keep dreaming girl!

just chillin... waiting for someone to push her to the next animal.

4th of July

On the 3rd of July, we celebrated Tammy birthday and Independence Day! During the day we swam and cooked out at Lindsay and Jared's. Once it got dark, we headed down to Oak Run to watch the fire works off of our boat. It was an awesome day!

we all felt so bad for the two babies, Peighton and Evan - they were so uncomfortable in their life jackets, but they both did really well!

we watched Lake Storey's fireworks from our driveway

Baby Anna

Congratulations Nate and Mary!

We're very happy for you and proud to be her Uncle and Aunt!

The first time Aaron and I met Baby Anna - at the hospital.

A couple of days after Nate, Mary and Anna got home from the hospital, we took supper over to them. We were excited to see Baby Anna again, and Addysen was very excited to meet her for the first time!

I think Addysen loves her little cousin!

Summer fun at Home

Summer Fun at the Link House

our little frog buddy that was on our window screen one summer night - Addysen was very interested in this!

Here is Super Addy driving her new Barbie Jeep through the yard - I think she is on a mission to find the bad guys!

SLIP - N - SLIDE TIME!

She loves this, but doesn't quite get what you're suppose to do yet. Most of the time, she'd lay down like this and I'd have to slide her down the slide. Still a lot of fun!

She loves running through the sprinkler!

Morgan & Caleb's Birthday Party

Happy Birthday Morgy and Caleb!

My pretty girl!

Uncle Ryan & Aunt Kelli's Wedding

Miss Addysen did a wonderful job at Uncle Ryan and Aunt Kelli's wedding. She walked down the aisle at dress rehearsal AND at the wedding with no problem. She even stayed with the bridesmaids through the whole ceremony. She was such a big girl and we couldn't have been more proud of her! I guess she deserves the pink vacuum cleaner she has been wanting!

her prized possession of the moment, the beautiful flower she picked at the mall.

She loved the gift Aunt Kelli and Uncle Ryan got her.

Now she has a special place for all her precious jewelry!

Dancing Buddies!

It wasn't long after we got to the reception that Addysen noticed Jenn and Liz. She turned and looked at me, with a huge smile on her face, "Momma look, those are the girls that like to dance with me!!" Then of course, she couldn't wait for the music to start!

Dancing with her buddy, Uncle Nate.

The one and only family picture I got.

Of course I didn't realize this until the end of the evening, when Addysen was running out of goodness!

one last dance with Daddy

Fort Wayne Children's Zoo

Before Uncle Ryan and Aunt Kelli's wedding, we decided to take extra time to visit the Fort Wayne Children's Zoo. Addysen had such a good time, she loves to look at the animals, but she is also a little like her Daddy... She did not dilly dally, we'd look at an animal, then she was ready to move to the next one pretty quickly. This was good, because it was hot and it left more time for her to do the things she really enjoyed, getting up close with the animals and feeding them.

checking out the baby goats.

She was a little nervous about touching them as she saw one of them try to eat Daddy's shirt.

I think we spent the most time feeding the ducks and the fish.

Checking out the seals.

They were really cute and later we got to see them swim!

My favorite part was the giraffes. We weren't allowed to touch them, but Addysen and I got to feed them some lettuce - it was very cool!

Addysen's favorite part was riding the miniature horses.

She picked this sweet little horse to ride on, her name was Sadie.

Daddy walked with her around the trail, but Addysen did just fine by herself.

These horses were very well trained. As it was their turn to go out, they'd back up out of their "parking slot" and take two trips around the trail and then they'd go right back into their "parking slot" without anyone guiding them. Aaron and I were impressed!

And to top it off, she got to ride the marry-go-round!

WHAT A FUN DAY AT THE ZOO!
