Addy's Fun Filled Birthday

I love my sweet family!
Addy was excited to have the pink bow.
Logan thanks for being a great brother. Addy was so happy to have her best friend enjoy her birthday with her.
This is such an Addy face.
Her hair caught on fire, luckily just a little bit it.
Look at those gorgeous eye lashes on Spencer and Addy.
She loves her Daddy so much.
"Almost three" --Addy has been saying this for so long that now she is still saying it!
Spencer working hard, he is a good Daddy.
Minnie Cake just for ADDY!
Swimming was so much fun.
Addy loves swimming on Spencer's back. I remember doing this with my Dad and loving it.



4 great friends!

Sadie and Daddy watching the kids paint. I love our tradition of Spencer taking off work for the kids birthdays. I hope we can always keep up this tradition.

We sent Logan to school in the morning and that gave Addy sometime with just Mom & Dad and her new toys. Then we picked Logan up at about 10:30 and went to the Art's & Crafts Center. They had so much fun painting ceramic animals.

After that it was lunch time and Addy wanted Burger King and to go for a picnic. It was so windy we ended up eating at BK and the kids played on the play set for a while. The coolest thing ever was that Luke and Taylor showed up with their Mom and Dad because they were out getting passports. Addy screamed "TAYLOR" and ran over to her. It was perfect timing and made Addy's birthday that much better.

Then it was on to the BEST part of the day that they had been so excited about...SWIMMING! Luke and Taylor were able to join us and it was so fun. We loved the indoor pool and wish we would've been going all winter! I still can't believe how neat it was that our best friends were able to join us. Addy sure loves them and both the kids are so sweet to her just like Logan.

We (Spencer & I) were exhausted....got home and finished decorating the cake. Addy was so patient with her awesome Daddy. She was excited to have a Minnie cake this year. I thought for sure she would pick a princess cake but no Minnie it was! We didn't have the right tip for the black so it made it a bit tricky for Spencer, but I think it turned out great. I love that Spencer would do this for his sweet baby girl. He loves his little girl.

Addy thanks for joining our family 3 years ago. I can't believe how fast time is going. You sure do light up our lives! I love your happy spirit! Thanks for loving me and making me smile.

Happy Birthday Addy!!!

Three years ago today Addy entered our lives. Click here for the whole story.
She is my mini-amber.
Here she is at 1 year.
Here she is at 2 years.
We stayed up late last night putting together her gifts and getting ready for her big day.
It all payed off, Addy had a wonderful morning and was so excited to see her princess presents.
Logan picked out a jewelry box and a pink cell phone. I think she loves the pretty flower pattern.
We set up streamers and blew up balloons. We put on some princess music and once she was all dressed up, we crowned her and watched her dance around the room.

What a happy little girl. I love how much she is just like Amber. She has this magical ability to make everyone around her happy.
Addy gets a birthday hug from mommy.
After a quick breakfast, Addy snuggled up on the couch to watch her favorite movie Tangled.
She is so cute when she tries to sing the songs and act out the scenes.
Addy, We love you so much. No matter what kind of day the rest of us is having, you are always happy. We love your smile and your laugh and your silly personality. You are a great little sister to Logan and a wonderful big sister and example for baby Sadie. Before I went to sleep last night, I was kind of sad that you are growing up. I hope you will be my baby girl forever! Happy Birthday!

Sadie 2 months old

May 9th our sweet baby girl was 2 months old. Time is going so fast. Sadie is growing up already and getting a little more meat on her bones! We love those cheeks. I am getting excited for our families to meet her in person. She is a sweet heart! Look at those super blue eyes that I love...just like her daddy, but no telling if they will stay!
Sadie does a lot less crying now and a lot more smiling.
We are getting the hang of this 3 kid thing and enjoying every minute with her special spirit in our home.


I love being with her all the time. Watching her smile and hearing her cooing and talking to me is the best! She is holding her head up so good these days. Logan and Addy adore her and can't get enough time with her. I love seeing them interact together. She is sure to give them both smiles.
We love you so much. Sadie, thanks for making our family even better. I love being your mommy. Thanks for making me so happy.
