For Halloween this year, Jeremy and the gang decided to dress as the Village People for Matt's Birthday/Halloween Party. If you are offended I am sorry but this is the funniest picture ever! If you know any of these guys you can appreciate the humor.

Trick or Treat

For Addie's first Halloween, she was a "Queen Bee." She had 2 other costumes in the works but this is the one that we chose. We visited Alix, Matt, Jamie, Maebrie and animals, Will and Tracie and Eric and Tasha (kinda, she fell asleep)



This is Maebrie, Roma and Addie all dressed as bees.




This is Addie holding onto the tree in front of our house. We think it might be nice to take her picture every year in front of the tree so we can see it all grow!

She was really excited to be outside and be in the grass!

Because it's my blog I can say this!

To all my family and friends,

Most of you know that I will be voting a Democratic ticket in the next week. This is how I believe not about how you believe. You can scream at me all you want, it will not change my opinion just like I will not change yours.

I say this because I continue to get all of these awful emails from you. I want to remind everyone that this is what our country is about having different opinions and voting. I am not enraged at all by your opinions but have found most of you are full of anger and hate for opposing opinions. I feel privileged to know and be loved by passionate people but do not let this election affect your physical health. Honestly, I feel some of you are going to stroke out if McCain doesn' win.

Love you all
and Happy Voting!

11 months old today!

Today was Addie's 11 month birthday! We have ordered birthday invitations and decorations. I spoke with Autumn about the cake. I can't believe that my little angel is going to be 11 months old! To think that last year she wasn't even here? I can't imagine a day without her. This is a picture of her in her highchair making her funny face. She makes it most often while eating! I realized that when I laugh and smile at her I squint my eyes so she has started closing her and laughing at us! She had mom, Jeremy and I in tears last Friday night while we were out eating!

This is what she is doing now:
  • says, "mama" "dada" "Bella" "Anna" "no-no"
  • she makes an "uck" sound which is look, book duck and sometimes quack. She has intial phoneme deletion (for my speech friends)
  • imitates most sounds, like growling
  • picks up her train and says, "bubububu"
  • eats everything that I can make bite size, she has no concepts of biting things of yet
  • drinks whole milk, and juice
  • pulls up
  • stands up anywhere that there is about a 3 inch elevation to push up
  • plays on her knees
  • squats
  • screams hysterically when she is told "no"
  • has a great concept of print and turns her books around when handed to her upside down
  • covers her own head to play peek-a-boo
  • claps with her cast kinda sad
  • loves to crawl away fast when she thinks you are chasing her
  • four teeth, two on top and two on bottom
  • she has some hair?? maybe it is getting thicker but not longer?
This weekend we weren't really able to celebrate her 11 month birthday because she was super sick. She had a fever around 100 Friday and Saturday even with Tylenol. There was a lot of snot, tears, and drool. It seems as though she is trying to get more teeth. However, she is very congested and has a virus. There was also some yacking! Jeremy and I did pretty well with the yacking. I am hoping we are on the downhill slide of the sickness. Fever is gone!

New Creations by Mommy

I made this onesies with Kloee's name on it just like the Mouseketeers (sp?) used to wear, a red tutu with sequences and a Mouse Head band. She is going to be Minnie Mouse for Halloween.

I also made this Hog canvas for an auction for a great friend of mine. The hog is silver which is why it kinda looks funny!

Happy Birthday Uncle Nub!!!


Last Sunday afternoon, we went to Fort Smith for lunch to celebrate Uncle Nub's birthday! We ate at the Varsity Sports Grill. I had a cheese quesadilla! Yum yum!

We also visited the Toys' R Us and I got some things for my birthday and Christmas.

Playing in the Grass!!

Last weekend, it was nice enough to play outside. Here is Dad and I outside in the front yard (no dog poop) !!
