OK Florida Grandma this blogs for you!
This is the shower curtain I made out o f the material that you sent me.
I would like to lower the rod a little so that it hits the floor and hides the crappy
tub!

I may have posted this one of Addy and I at Fadi's. Yummy.
Visiting Kristy and Ashley in Houston!
Auntie Sarah put a bow in my hair!

Addy's First Christmas
Next year we will get a real tree but this year it was all we could do to put up our little fake tree. The tree is cute but we had to put the white lights on the top part and the green stringed lights on the bottom and the white part looks terrible. Next year I will fix it but this year Daron and I are exhausted! We had a very very white Christmas this year which was great except that the gym has been closed for four days and it has been too icy to walk.

On Christmas morning Daron set Addy in the laundry basket and zoomed her out to the living room. We decided she was comfortable (and safely contained) in the basket so she spent 1/2 of the present opening time in there.


Present from Auntie Lisa!

Addy of course liked the boxes better than the actual gifts. We thought about packaging her up and sending her to the grandparents...
She got a bump on her head while shopping. It is a dangerous world when you are learning to stand and walk.

We went to Melissa and Scott's for Christmas Dinner and they have a dog named Addy. So I took a photo of Addy and Addy and Daron. I also got a fun shot of Big D with little Addy boo.

The crew watching a little football or basketball or something...

Addy in her Huggie bonus pack.

Daron got to open one early Christmas present.

Addy likes Santa's beard. Reminds her of daddy.



Mommy got me a new hat in rainbow colors -my Auntie Lisa will appreciate the rainbow. It also matches my outfit and blankie that my grandma Texas made for me. I am headed out to my first holiday party at Heidi and Kevin's house. We are walking since they just live up the street.

Addy's huggie gocart.

Jason and Petra are the parents of the uber talented Haley Andrews. We were lucky to be visiting Houston the same day of her recital. I don't have the photo's of the actual recital. I think Daron has those on his computer but I have some cute photos of Miss Haley
Daron and Addy watching the show.
Haley giving Addy a kiss before her debut.
My FAVORITE photo of Haley. She is adding the finishing touches to her costume - shoes!

OK, now this is cool... Here is Addy and her twin from another time... Her Grammy!

Then, on our trip to Houston the two of them got together for an update shot. If Addy turns out to be as pretty as my mom has always been I'd be one happy Papa!

Uh, yeah, How wonderful it is to be back from Houston and sunny Florida...
 

Addy LOVED to travel and found all the people in the airport very interesting. She loved attention and smiles and waves and was a complete angel on the plane. One fellow even said that her smile was "disarming" ahhh we are going to be in trouble...
After Addy's bath in the tub Mimi set her in the sink and she had a blast. Addy loved Mimi and Grandpa's new condo. She was mesmerized by all the colors and Christmas lights.
Grandpa David took over when we all reached Houston and Daron and I took a much needed break!
Dad and I enjoyed the beach while Mimi and Daron and Addy took photos. Can you see the definition in my Dad's tricep? That's what I am talking about!
Grandpa Brian and Addy share their own special language. As we left FLA she waved for the first time to her Grandpa Brian. Then at the airport she discovered she got ALOT of attention by waving at the airport staff. It was hilarious.

A bit unsure of the waves Addy and Mimi tread slowly to the waters edge.
Addy had her first taste of hummus. Not just any Hummus - not MY baby - she tried the best hummus EVER at Fadi's Mediterranean in Houston.
Addy met her BFF Madison. They got along pretty good until Chip (Madison's Dad) carried Addy around the living room. Madison was PISSED. She definitely does not want to share her Daddy. Sarah (Madison's Mom) decided that Best Friends Forever should have similar hair styles and put a pink bow in Addy's hair.

In my opinion THE best picture of little Addy to date! Merry Christmas!!
 

These pics were taken during our first few days of vacation in Houston. Uhhh, the fun picture is the Andrews family. 3 generations of NUTS! I'm hoping Addy carries on the tradition and will do everything in my power to make that happen... Sarah put the little bow in Addy's hair while we stayed with them for a night, and the picture is of her at Fadi's Mediterranian Grill. That place has close to the best food on earth. Chip cooked some top shelf Gumbo and we got to see Addyson and Maddison meet for the first time. I'm thinking the 5 month gap won't seem like as much in a year or two. It was so cool to see my niece and nephew and brother and sister, and grammy and pawpaw squeezed in some qt with Addybatty. I realized that I have to make more of an effort to get out of Kanab a bit more often. But it is like getting out of bed on a rainy Saturday morning trying to leave that sleepy little town... Daron

Addyson and I with the Humane Education Ambassador (or Ambassetor) Sadie. Addy is wondering how such a small dog can have such big ears! She actually bit her ear but Sadie didn't mind at all.
My wonderful boss, Sandy, taking a stroll behind our office building.

How could you not love this face?

Addyson is explaining to Sadie how things work on her little walkie. Who knows what exactly she is saying? Sadie seems to understand though!Addy met her first Ferret yesterday. She thought it was interesting but was a tad bit wary. I think she is more of a dog person. Here she is taking after her Grandpa in Florida and teaching class...

We will be in Houston on Dec 6,7,8 and Boyton Beach Fla. on Dec. 9,10,11. We hope we can see everyone but unfortunately it is a short visit.

Fall in downtown Kanab.

Sadie Bassett has surgery tomorrow. She has four bladder stones. Her person is going to keep me updated on the surgery.

Sadie, Addyson and I prepare for a hike at Best Friends. I think Sadie wants to get in the cool back pack too.

Addy and I hiking. She loves being up high. It makes her feel in charge. Which she is anyway!

She is officially crawling now... God help us.
