Summer Fun

The girls have enjoyed the summer very much. We have been busy, therefore the lack of updates. Thank goodness for Bubba and Grammy who always seem to have their camer ready to catch a moment with the girls. The latest adventures have taken us to Omaha to wedding dress shop with Cassie, the Taste of West Omaha, and a trip to Fun Plex with Bubba, Lou and Grammy.


We are anticipating the arrival of Kevin, Jenny and Leo intoGrand Island on September 1st while they are enroute to their new home in Pocatello, Idaho. Addison is especially excited to see Michael Leo, and it appears that Leo is excited to see the girls as well. Apparently he has found a new fun trick, hitting people, animals and various other things. Don't worry Kevin and Jenny, Addison will set him straight and tell him that it is not nice to hit!!! She will probably also give him "the lecture" about keeping his tongue in his mouth, using nice words, being a big boy, the list could go on. You will quickly learn all the things we are telling her about being nice and about being a big girl so that she can go to school.


The hot days of August are taking its toll on us, Addison has so much energy that she can't run off, and Olivia is having some heat rashes. Both the girls are such "hot kids". They sweat very easily. We are "forcing" water. Olivia is officially off the bottle, she has been for about a 1 1/2 months now. She loves to be just like Addison and drink from the sippy cup. Matter of fact, whatever Addison is doing, Olivia wants to be doing it also. She has found that when Addison takes a toy from her, yelling is a great way to mom and dad's attention. We are trying to teach "sharing"; but Addison is pretty protective of "her stuff". At daycare Olivia has learned that when she does not want to eat something to throw it on the floor because the dogs will eat it; not so much at home. She just kind of gives us this look like "you won't yell at me for throwing this because I am so darn cute".


The rest of the pictures are of our"little fishy". Addison loves to swim and play in the water. She has figured out that jumping into the pool is a lot of fun, and so is going down slides. Still not a big fan of having water in her face, but getting better.




One last picture for you to enjoy! This cutie will turn 1 years old in 6 days!!
Where has the time gone?
