Happy Thanksgiving!

Just wanted to wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving!

Baby Bathtime!

I just couldn't resist posting these sweet little pics of Addy after her bath. She is such a cutie!!

She is smiling so much now. Her whole face lights up with her mouth wide open, and you can see her cute little dimple on her right cheek. I've tried to get a picture of this, but by the time I get the camera...it's too late. :( Colten has made her smile on occasion too, and he loves it!

Last night we had a girls night out! My mom, Reva, Becky and I went to The Lion King on Broadway downtown at the Murat! It was sooooo amazing!! We had a great time. My dad watched Colten and Addy while we were gone for over 4 hours - what a trooper! Thanks, Dad!!

Here's the only photo we took before they informed us that no cameras were allowed in the theater. Oops!

Daddy's home

It's so nice to have Joel home! He was gone all last week for work. Last Thursday was our 9th anniversary. He came home Friday night and brought me some Jade colored roses - so beautiful! He really missed being away from us. He said I gave Addison a double chin while he was gone...whatever! I think it's adorable!!

Colten had his Fall Program at school last week. It was all Veggie Tales songs - it was so cute! I can't believe how big he looks up there on that stage.

He's so serious!!!

Trick or Treat...Smell my Feet!

We had a great time Friday night - we went trick-or-treating at Dick and Reva's house. Colten had a blast this year. He's finally able to keep up with all the older kids, running from house to house. Colten was a Red Power Ranger and Addison was a Pea in a Pod (Addy did not participate). It was a great time, here's some of my favorite photos:

Addison did NOT enjoy being a pea in a pod...or maybe she was ready to eat.

Colten also had Community Helper Day at school. All the kids were to dress up as someone who works in their community. He choose his profession to be a Pastor. Here's what he looked like - he was so proud to be a pastor! They were suppose to tell their class what their community helpers jobs are in the community. Colten's teacher, Mrs. Cloud, asked him if pastors visit sick people in the hospital...of course he said, "No way!" I guess he's not a fan of hospitals.

I can't believe how fast time is going by...Addison is 5 weeks old now! She is getting bigger everyday. She's got cute little chubby cheeks...I just love them! She weighed 8 pounds, 4 ounces at her doctor's appointment last Thursday. Here are some pics I took when she turned 1 month old.

I got her smiling!!

She can hold her head up very well. She is so strong!!

Me and my girl!!

Big Brother Colten

Colten loves being a big brother...from a distance. He loves to kiss her on the forehead and laughs when she has the hiccups, but that's about it. Every day he gets more and more comfortable around Addison. Monday night, Joel and I talked him into holding her for the first time. We told him to just sit on the couch and hold out your arms - that's all there is to it! I put the boppy on his lap, so she would be supported. Colten was so proud of himself! And I got the cutest pictures!!
