Addyson turned 3

Addyson is a big girl!  She even was potty trained before she was 3.  December is a busy month for this little girl, her birthday only being 3 days before Christmas, she gets it all confused.

She got a Christmas colored cake.

Showing off her care bear birthday gifts.

I can't believe she is three!

Addyson has a strong personality.  She knows what she wants and finds a way to get it.  She is cute and she knows it.

She likes to dance and sing, she often makes up her own words to songs.

She mimics things that we say in question form.  So if you say "eat your dinner please", she will repeat you and say "eat my dinner?" all confused sounding.   She does this all day long.

She loves stuffed animals and has to have all of them to sleep (just like her mom use to).

She is the most helpful when it comes to cleaning, she loves to help me do laundry, the dishes, clean toys, you name it she loves to help.  In fact she helped me vacuum up a few clothes the other day, shredded some of her panties. It's funnier now that a few weeks have past HAHA.

She is a tease and makes Drake cry sometimes, just cuz she can.

She fell in the toilet onces, now every time she goes, she tells me, "mom I don't wanna fall in the potty."

She is a great eater, and is almost taller than her brother.

She changes her outfit 2-5 times a day, I am always picking up clothes....total girl problem

Apples are her favorite food, she asks for them at least 2 times a day.

When I work out she does everything she can along with me and she begs to go out and run with me.

She is stubborn and wins most arguments

She loves to be held and snuggled.  She has had a hard time since Lex joined the family because I can't hold both of them.

She is a great big sister and a big helper.

She is a total Daddy's girl, but she is stuck with me most the time.

Happy Birthday Addyson, we love you!

Drake Turned 4

WOW!  I remember being pregnant with this little stud and thinking he wouldn't ever come, now he is 4.  He is such an amazing little boy.  

Weighing in at 33.4 pounds (at home),  he is a shrimp for his age, his sister is as tall as he is. 

He is a tease, and loves to say just kidding.  

He has quite the smile, and for sure the cutest laugh. 

He is content to play alone or with his siblings.  But I think he prefers to be off on his own.  

He loves anything to do with a motor (he gets that from daddy). 

 I'm not sure if I have mentioned this before, but when he prays at night, he will thank his father in heaven for his cars and go on and ask to bless them.  He never lets you finish a prayer without mentioning his cars.  

He loves Legos (he is just all boy).

He loves to sit and watch Kade fix things, he wants to help and hand him tools.

He loves all things outdoors, fourwheelers, doing chores with grandpa, motorcycles, bikes, dirt, dogs, animals, playing, the list goes on.

He was excited that he matched with grandpa.

When he gets tired, he will tell me he is tired and go take a nap or go to bed.

He is so sweet,kind,and very good at sharing.  

He still cuddles with his mama.

He is smart, he memorizes things well, like the words to songs, especially church songs.  

He never forgets, if you make him a promise he will remember.

He loves sugar, his favorite food is cookies right now.

We live by the train tracks and he is fascinated by the trains.  

We love you so much Drake, thanks for being a part of our family.

So excited for his monster cake, that had a cookie in his mouth, his favorite treat.
