First Tooth


Addison got her first tooth at 6 months old which has been about a month ago, but I haven't been able to get a picture until now. This is her first tooth and the second one is coming in now too.

Christmas time is coming!

Can you smell it in the air? Can you hear it in your ears? Can you see it in your eyes? I can and I love this time of year! Christmas time is always exciting for me. I enjoy the lights, the decorations, the traditions, the stories, the candy, and the gift giving.

The stockings are hung, the wreaths are hung, the outside lights and decorations are set out, but no tree is trimmed .. not yet that is! Every year we always get a live Douglas Fir tree and this year the pickings are slim around town. We have not been able to find a tree that we like and I don't know what we are going to do. Hopefully we will be able to find a beautiful, green, 7-8ft Douglas Fir tree to set up in our home. Hope everyone enjoys their holiday season!

It's Raining ... it's not pouring

It has been a rainy day outside today all day long. Looking out the weekend it looks cold, rainy, wet, and yucky and I am thankful that I don't have to get out in this kind of weather. I always dreaded having to go to work in this type of weather and today, I get to stay at home all day.

Speaking of raining ... our months seem to be raining with several plans. We finished up Thanksgiving dinners between both families, have Christmas pictures coming up, Christmas parties to go to, Christmas decorations to set out, shopping for presents, calendar photos for contest to take, dentist and doctor appts. to make, and the list seems to go on and on.

I can not believe that tomorrow is December! These past few months have been flying by so fast. Addison is now 7 months old and always on the go. She is such a happy baby and I am so thankful for that. The Lord has definitely blessed us with a happy miracle. Addison also has several photo shoots schedule for the month. We are getting ready to take Christmas photos and she also will be taking her photo for the Cutest Baby Calendar Contest that she won. Addison's picture will be featured in the November month of the calendar and the calendars will be ready by Christmas. Guess what the family will be getting for their Christmas presents!! Hope everyone is enjoying this rainy day.

We love Aubie!

Yesterday Aubie came to Milestones Learning Center (where I worked before Addison was born) and I decided to take Addison and one of my nieces, Kylee, to go see Aubie. In the previous years I was the one responsible for getting Aubie and the cheerleaders to come and visit for Spirit Week. I was glad to see that they were still able to get Aubie to come. Here are some
pictures of Addison with the Auburn Cheerleaders and Aubie!








Calendar Contest

She made it to the calendar! The Ohbaby! Calendar Contest is over now and the results are in .... Addison is #11 out of 13 babies who will be featured in the calendar! We are so proud of our little cutie!! A big thank you goes to everyone who voted by either donating money for votes or voting for free everyday. Addison will get her picture taken next week by a professional photographer, Kim Box, and then the calendars will be ready in time for Christmas!!
