oh how daddy makes me smile

All of these pictures were taken because Jared was smiling at Addie.  She lights up the room and where ever she is when Jared looks at her.

Addie's crawling

Sooooo Tired.

Here we go to Boston.  More pictures and adventures soon to come! Love yall

Visit to Livingston

Addie and I visited Nana and Pop Pop this weekend and had such a good time.  We went swimming and took a trip to Walmart.  Addie is now teething and we also enjoyed some teething biscuits and just visiting with the puppy dogs.  We are truly fortunate to have such great parents.  While on the road to Livingston, we stopped in Cleveland to fill up.  I took Addie out to stretch her legs and she dripped poop on either sides of her diaper on me.  We got her changed and on the way, flustered I tried to hurry and got a speeding ticket in Sheopard, TX.  I know right.  The state trooper had no sympathy for me and then asked, "So you went to Sam Houston?"  I said yes and we were finally on the way.  Remember this is all happening with Addie screaming in the background while getting my ticket.  Teething makes Addie fussy.  Oh well, all in a days work.  I still love being a mom.

My Afternoon with Addie

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all.  This years mother's day has a new meaning to me.  I still cannot believe the immense feeling of love that you have for one creature the moment you lay eyes on it.  I'm speaking of Addie.  Jared and I look at each other every day and say we are truly blessed and thankful for the opportunity to be parents.  Thank you mom for being such a great model of how a mother should be.  I can't think of anyone I would like to immulate more as a mother.  Thank you Jesus for mothers.  Since becoming one it has also given me a new feeling of how Christ must feel about us.  I think I understand his love just a little more than I did before.  Happy Mother's Day!

Attached is a video of Addie licking and eating her teething biscuit.  I thought it was humerous.  Enjoy!

Daddy's little Princess

Jared's little girl.  Maybe the next one will look like me?????  We are NOT pregnant!

This one is my favorite.  I think it captures her personality the best.  I see Jared all over this picture.
