a math equation

20 month old + sickness =



Addyson has never watched so much as a minute of T.V., not because we choose not to watch in our family but because she just wasn't interested. Wasn't interested, I said because if you are good at math you know the when you add a 20 month old and an upper respiratory infection you get a love for T.V.

She didn't want to do anything else this morning but watch Word World. I am glad she likes Word World because it is an AWESOME show. All of the parts of the show are made up of the letters. So, a cup is made to look like a cup but uses C U P to make the cup {get it?}. Addy has three toys from the show a sheep, a bug and a cat. All of which are made up of the letters that spell the word! Too cool! :) They do a ton of letter rec and letter sounds, blending, chucks, etc. It is my type of show!!!

She might learn some letters or letter sounds during this sickness...can't beat that! :)

"It good, Momma!"

No, she wasn't talking about the birthday cake for her Daddy or cookies or watermelon or any of the other yummy things we have in our house. She was talking about the Bisquick that she got out of the box, opened the sealed package and spilled on the floor.





the other spot you see would be from the water she also spilled on the floor!

Bisquick... It good!

Dancing

Nothing like a little Saturday morning dancing to get the day started!!!









I love them!

August :(

It doesn't seem possibly that it is already August. I should love August, it is my birthday month!, but every since I had my stinky {aka Addyson} I have come to hate August. All August means to me is going back to work. :( I have 17 more days home with my baby and I am going to ignore the little calendar at the bottom of my computer screen that turns everyday and I loss another one of those days with my baby. {insert fingers in ears and yelling *la la la la*} See I am already ignoring August!

Instead of dwelling on the whole 17 days left, we decided to bring August in the best summer way we could {okay, Ryan decided but I think it was a great way to kick off August}!

We enjoyed...



SNOWCONES







Yummy!




If you see me don't mention school, work, or anything related to either subject. If you do be prepared for a breakdown. Not joking, I am most likely going to start crying. :*(

Addy is in love!

Shhh! Don't tell anyone. Look at Addy's face. I think she is in love.

It's not something new, she has loved him for a long time. But this photo really shows how much she loves playing with him. He can be protective of his toys {the other night he let Addy hold his stuffed dog and he started to follow her around. His mom said "She's fine don't worry." To which he said "I know, I know, I'm just going to follow her around!" :) } but for the most part he loves sharing with the kids, showing them new things {like big green caterpillars} and just being with them. They have had lots of funny together this summer! There faces light up when they see eachother.

Shhh! Don't tell anyone. I think he likes playing with her, too!

First Cone

Okay, so it isn't her first ice cream but it is her first taste of the cone, as in The Jimmie Cone and the first time she has had ice cream in a cone!

Addy's first taste of the cone was a very large cone with swirled ice cream and rainbow jimmies. That cone landed on the ground not even a step from the counter!! :) Her second cone was also a very large swirl cone that never made it to our hands. The nice order girl gave us our third cone which a very small swirled cone that was much more her size!









I would dare say she liked her first taste of the cone!

Baseball!!!

Last night we went to watch the Frederick Keys play the Potomac Nationals! We won the tickets from The Little Gym! I was shocked...I don't think I have ever won anything!

We started the night out by going to have sandwiches and ice cream in downtown Frederick {also free because I got a gift card to downtown from my students!} As we were eating it started to rain and it continued to rain for awhile. When we got to the park they were in a rain delay.



We waited {& waited} in the car.



Finally, the rain stopped, they took the tarp off the field and they played ball!



We really,really had a fun time. The rain was perfect because turned out to be a cool night and we got to enjoy a rainbow!





Addyson was awesome! She loved every minute of the game!
And who wouldn't when you get to...

enjoy a night with Mimi, Momma and Dada...





eat a pretzel and a funnel cake...





meet Keyote {the Keys mascot} and have him sign your very first baseball...









ride the merry-go-round...




and play two games...





We were sad when it was time to go!



We didn't stay for the whole game because it was late and a very slow game. We left around 9:30 and it was only the 5th inning!

We had an awesome time last night!

Ummm...totally forgot to say that the Keys won!

Can't beat that...great company, delicious food, awesome rides & games, and a win!! :)
