Today our cat was meowing and meowing. Addy said to me "Bindi is talking up a storm." Where in the world did she hear that phrase?


The other day, Addy and I were in the kitchen and Addy said "Mommy come in my room." I did and we traced our body outline on a huge piece of paper. You know how you did that in Kindergarten - kind of like making a big paper doll. Anyway, Addy started coloring on the back of a wooden puzzle that was holding down the edge of the paper. I thought that was fine because it was the back of the puzzle and when I was a kid I colored the underside of our coffee table. Then Addy turned the puzzle right side up. I looked at her and said "You can't color on the front of the puzzle." She looked at me and a minute or so later (I could see the wheels turning) said "Mommy go away."



Lately, my migraines have been rearing their ugly head again. I seem to be getting them monthly and I believe it is hormonal. Oh Joy! Anyhow, after a two day migraine I said to Addy "I am sorry Mommy has had a headache" and Addy looked and me and replied "Sometimes that happens." Alrighty then!



The other day Addy, Daddy and I went over to a friends house to feed their foster kittens. Knowing full well that kittens have claws we were trying to keep her from getting scratched. Needless to say she got scratched. We were heading over to her friend Isabella's house next so I tried to make her laugh by saying "Hey, we'll tell Isabella a LION (growl growl) scratched you." By the time we arrived at Isabellas house the story had become much more grand. Addy said "Addy was attacked by a lion -roar roar."

Silly Summer Fun

Oh Auntie Karen really started something with the Elmo's! Addy constantly wants "Daddy Elmo" to come with us on outings, flights, boat rides etc. When we were in Florida and Daron went back to Utah a week before us it really got embarrassing. Addy would say "Daddy Elmo do you see that?" and people would look at us. I figured they were thinking that I was a single mother and Daddy Elmo was her fictitious father! Yikes. Anyhow, as long as we know the truth thats all that matters. Ha. Addy helped Mommy paint her wall blue. Addy loves blue so we painted a wall blue and it goes pretty well with the furniture I painted bright pink. If you know me though I am sure it will all change in a few months!

Daron is a GREAT sport wearing the Elmo Daddy Shirt from Auntie Karen. I think we will have every visitor take a photo in the Elmo shirt. :)

Addy and her best friend Isabella ride in the bike trailer. So Fun! Addy and Bella Blue stay cool inside on Addys bed. Addy and her favorite buddy Elmo!

Well I am starting to realize why the call the twos the terrible two's. For example, I ask "Addy would you like some yogurt?"
"No I don't WAAAAANt any Yogurt" Addy furrows brow and looks at me like I have two heads.
"Ok" I say and walk away.
"MoMMY ADDY wants Yogurt, Waaaaaaa" Addy yells as if I am denying her food forever.
"Whoa" Mommy says giving her the yogurt and all is well.
