my baby + a day off = FUN!!!

I had off last Tuesday so, Addy and I visited the pumpkin patch! {Days off are the best part of teaching!!! ;o)}

We went to a the "learning part" of the pumpkin patch that had a ton of animals...bunnies, cow, goats, alpaca, pigs, and chickens, a ton of open running space, a huge slide (too big for Addy), bikes, mazes, straw "trampolines" and more! Addy had a blast and loved every minute of our trip!







After all that "learning" we went on a hay ride to the pumpkin patch!







When we got home I asked Addy if she would let me take a picture of her and her pumpkins on the step and {gasp} she let me!



Yes, she has three pumpkins in this picture and many more at home now. Addy loves pumpkins!

I love days off! For one day last week and one this week I get to pretend to be a SAHM! I love those days!

Style!

Addyson has started to pick out her own outfits!



I wish I had pictures of all of her beautiful outfits. She has chooses some very interesting ones! ;o)

Hello, September! Goodbye, September! Hello, October!

It's been awhile since I blogged...a real long while! It's hard to believe that it is almost October. Since August when been really busy getting back into some type of routine. I started work again :o( , Addy started back with Mimi and Daddy starts a new job on Monday. Lots has been going on.

When I first went back to work Addy wasn't happy. She spent a few {long} weeks not napping. We would hear "Momma, no work" a lot, my mom heard it more during nap time. She has finally worked it all out and loves being with Mimi and having time with "my dada" in the morning. Now we get to figure it all out again with Garth's new job. He will have MUCH more responsibility and will have to work longer hours and maybe Saturdays. I am sure Addy will do fine once she figures out "my dada's" new schedule.

We also found out that we are having a new baby in April! I am 12 weeks 2 days today. My body doesn't knew that yet because I am still nauseous. 2 days past 12 weeks, body...2 days...stop now!!! It has been a long 6 weeks. We found out we were pregnant and 2 weeks later I started having some bleeding, oh and I started school. It was very stressful. 2 weeks of spotting, 4 ultrasounds, and many doctors appointments later everything is fine! Praise God! My due date is April 9th...4 months after Addy's 2nd birthday. Some of our top names right now are...Callie and Kenley (girls), Keagen, Jack, and Will (boys). Who knows we just thought of those names and we change our minds daily. I will be surprised if one of those sticks!!! The one thing I do know for sure is a boys middle name will be McCullough! Just like granddaddy!

Addyson Mackenzie {Addy Mac} is named after her great granddaddy too! I took this picture at the Frederick Fair, where granddad used to harness race his horses. Granddad spent a lot of time sitting just like Addy and spent a lot of time right at this barn and racetrack. We thought it was pretty awesome that they had this set up!



Hopefully I will get back into the swing of taking pictures and posting them...but now you know why I haven't been ;o)

Too Funny!

Addy coming into the family room holding a bag of chips: "Ieatchip, Ieatchip, Ieatchip" {insert chip into mouth} "It good!"

Addy talking to Mimi: "Mimi, look, my dress, Mimi, look, my dress, Mimi, look, my dress...It cute!"

Too funny!

Helper

Yep, I think Addy might just be Daddy's little helper from here on out!







Okay, so she didn't help much but she sure does look cute and she loved standing on that chair with her Daddy!

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!
