2 Year Old Photo Shoot

Addie loves to dress herself as Mr. Potato Head. The tongue is almost like a binkie to her because she will walk around the house with it in forever. When Chris puts the red lips on, Addie will always give him a kiss. Funny.

Our 2 year old...

I find myself shocked that Addie is already 2. I figured that her turning one would be the hardest on me, but that was easy...this two thing has caused me to get teary eyed often. Where did the time go?! Addie is more beautiful, fun, lively and silly each day. She is the joy of our lives and we couldn't ask for more. Here a few images at birth, 1 year old and now 2 years old:

Toga...

So here is what I came home to on Monday....Dad's creation for Addie. She is in love with being naked but got cold running around the house so put on blankie with some scotch tape.

Driving Dad's Car

As you know, Addie is beyond content in driving either one of our cars. She can easily sit in the car for about 30 minutes and play...push every button, take out all the CD's, buckle seat belts, play with toys and read. It's not a rare thing for me to put her in the driver's seat while I unload the groceries. This particular day, Chris was washing his car and of course Addie had to assist. When the drying process was happening, it apparently was time for her to jump inside and play. We got a good giggle because at one point we looked in at her and she had her stuffed elephant buckled in her car seat while she was in the driver's seat buckled in "driving." We asked what she was doing and she said "I'm driving elephant." Wow...almost as good as the other day when she grabbed her play purse and said, "Bye bye Mommy. I go to the grocery." I almost died.

Silly Girl

Addie is full of smiles, giggles, songs, and silly sayings these days. Chris and I feel she never stops talking...but we love it. Her hair as you can see is slowly growing and looked like an amazing mullet this morning. Her Minnie Mouse pj's were a hit from Mimi and Papa and she never wants to take them off.

Gold Star Student!!!!!

Our Shelby Rose is a smarty-pants! She got her GPA for the last term and had a 3.83! We were thrilled for her and had to go out to celebrate. We headed down to SLO as a family with Brittany for pizza at Woodstocks. Shelby's favorite pizza is Hawaiian and of course we had to get the cinna-bread for dessert. Shelby, you are growing into a beautiful woman both inside and out. We are proud of you and cannot wait until we see you graduate...as a gold start student!!!

Morro Bay with the Little Girl

Chris took a few days off of work and we got to tackle some things around the house and be as a family. It was great. This particular day we took Addie to Morro Bay to run at the beach and see the seagulls. It was BEAUTIFUL and so much fun. She didn't understand why she couldn't run into the ocean since her curiosity was pulling her towards it. The waves were huge when we were there and it's always impressive to watch them. We finished up the day getting some great food at a local restaurant that over looks the Bay...we live in an amazing place.
