2014 Pumpkin Patch...

One of my ALL time favorite holidays to celebrate is Halloween. I just love October, the cooler temperatures, the fall colors, and now that we have Addi Kate...visiting the Pumpkin Patch! This year we had the BEST time picking out pumpkins, getting Addi's face painted, and just watching the amazement in her little face as we toured the Pumpkin Patch.

Oh my Heavens...is she not the prettiest little punkin you've ever seen???

Addi and her Pops...

Addi and her D-ma...

Addi and her Daddy...

Sweet little girl sitting on the hay...

All Addi Kate wanted to do was pick up EVERY SINGLE PUMPKIN!!!

She climbed the hay pile...

And sat on the big pumpkin!!

Peek-a-boo!!!!

I can't believe she stayed still enough to have her face painted!!!

We had such a good time...blessed, we are blessed!

Beach Fun...

We borrowed Jilly and Pops' motorhome and stayed out at the beach in September. Addison loves the beach, the water, and now we've discovered she loves FISH too!!

The guys were fishing and using the smaller fish for bait and Addi would stick her hand in the bucket, pull out the fish, and take off running. Crazy girl!

She also enjoyed letting Cousin Mikey push her around in her little car...

That evening before we went to bed, Addi was wanting something off the counter in the motorhome. Well, after telling her "no" several times, she decided to take matters into her own hands.

It was probably a bad-mom move to take pics of her in the process, but I just couldn't help it.

Good times!

Fall...

It's Fall ya'll!!! 

The temperatures have started to fall here in Florida and we are enjoying the nice break from the heat. We've been spending quite a bit of time outside which is one of Addison's favorite things.

Here she is swinging at PonderVille...

Addison has also started "smiling" for the camera...

Her laughter is contagious and I must admit, this picture captures EXACTLY the little girl's spirit...

Happy Birthday Addison: 20 Months

Time flies...and I absolutely hate it :( Our little girl turned 20 months a few weeks ago.

We celebrated her 20 month birthday with her great grandmother, who turned 960 months(80 years old) the week prior.

Addison is really starting to talk this month. She is starting to put together phrases and it's the sweetest little voice you've ever heard. She has started to sing her ABCs and can sings "A, B, C, D....H, I..." and it's all over the place after that!!! She is also counting everything...her fingers, brings on the sidewalk, and when she's ready for Pops to take off real fast on the golf cart. 

We are constantly telling her to be nice to Kodi...she wants to hug him, lay on him, pull his tail, pull his ears, etc. Bless his heart...he just lets her do it :) 

Addi's dance moves are expanding...she can do an arabesque, tendu, passe', and chase'. When we put her in a skirt or tutu, she twirls and twirls and twirls.

Addi Kate has been pretty sick over the past month. I think we've visited the doctor's office at least 4-5 times this past month. She doesn't "feel" bad, she just has had a runny nose and a cough that won't go away. Regardless, she's the happiest baby I've ever met.

Daddy and I are looking forward to Halloween this year. Addison can tell you that she will be a bumblebee this year and we are working on saying "trick or treat." 

We love you MORE than the world sweetheart...don't you EVER forget that!
