A girl and her pony........

One of Kenzie's favorite things in her little world right now is her pony Barbie. EVERYDAY she asks me "we gonna go see Barbie" or "Mommy I wanna go ride Barbie". She is getting much better and a lot more comfortable about being around her, brushing her, giving her treats and even riding her. I have noticed that if Mommy is riding then she tends to want to ride a lot longer, but mainly she just wants to lead Barbs (thats what she calls her) everywhere. I cannot wait for Kenze to get bigger and better and her and Mommy can go on a trail ride together.

North Carolina

Matt was traded to the Tampa Bay Rays and was in Durham, NC for with triple A team. The girls, grandma and I met him out there and loved every minute! I loved Durham and all it had to offer us, especially the baseball field...so much history. We survived Hurricane Irene and Kenze enjoyed all the cool thunderstorms. We visited Duke University, went to museums, explored the local farmers market, ate at some yummy restaurants, watched baseball and got to catch up with old friends. All in all it was a fun (and sometimes wet) trip.

This is how they watched the thunderstorms...they were obsessed with these windows.

Summertime

Well seeing how the summer is coming to an end, I thought I should post a couple of pictures that highlight the great summer that we had as a family of four!!! Also I'm doing it this way because I have been a terrible blogger.....I'm going to strive to be better!!!!!

Me and my girls :-)

My little cooks

My baby

Gosh have I've been a terrible blogger!!! But our life has changed a bit in the last month or so; on July 31st Matt and was traded to the Tampa Bay Rays and left at 8am the next morning, which left me with two kiddos, two dogs and two cars that needed to be packed up! No worries my Mama and Sis came to my rescue and we loaded up my life and moved home.

We are now back east with Matt and so happy to have this little family together again; it was three weeks that we were apart (way too long).

As for our precious little girl......Addison is incredible! I thank the lord everyday for blessing me with such amazing children.

Addie is so on the move and is into EVERYTHING.....I vacuumed twice a day at home because if she finds anything on the floor it goes directly in her mouth. She also loves to open drawers, lift the toilet seat, and of course play with ALL her sisters toys. On of her favorite toys right now is baby dolls...LOVES THEM. She crawls around the entire house holding on to the doll, it cracks me up!

She is really good at saying Mama and Dada now and also Nana.....not sure if she is knows what she is saying but we love to hear it.

As of late she has decided that baby food is not nearly as good as table food; so I'm going to finish what we have in the pantry and that might be it for baby food! She LOVES to feed herself, she can now eat cut up chicken, carrots, cheese, crackers, puffs and pretty much anything that we are eating minus honey, peanuts and chocolate of course.

There are now 8 teeth in her little mouth and I just love to see those little pearly whites when she smiles at me. She is so stinking cute and such a happy baby, always goes with the flow. We are so lucky to have this little angel in our lives.

The Wedding

Pretty Girl

This is where Addie was the happiest so this is were Addie stayed :-)

Dancing the night away :-)

My sister got married last weekend at the Ritz Carlton in Dana Point; it was so amazing and so beautiful. The girls were also the cutest little flower girls and Kenzie did wonderful walking down the aisle, she forgot to throw her flowers but since she was so stinking cute no one notice. All in all it was a great weekend spent with family and friends.

Addie is 7 months

Crazy Hair!!!

Little Addie is getting bigger by the minute!!! I cant believe she is already 7 months old; but than again she acts like she is 10 months old so I should not be that surprised!!! She is a master at crawling now and also pulls up on anything and everything and has also started to transfer from things while she stands! It amazes me that she is already doing these things so quickly....lots of people in our family were early walkers and I'm pretty sure Addison will be apart of that group.

Because she is such a master at crawling now, baby proofing has begun. Its definitely a lot harder now that I have a 2.5 year old that leaves EVERYTHING on the ground and a 7 month old that puts EVERYTHING in her mouth!!! It sure keeps this mama very busy, I guess I'm thankful that I have two portable vacuums.....Ruby and Zoey :-)

This has been a very busy month for little miss Addie....we had Family come in town for Fathers Day weekend and celebrated her uncle Tay Tay and Ky Woo graduating from college!!!! Than later that week we hopped on a plane and went back down south for Aunt Amanda's and Uncle Pat's beautiful wedding. We are now back in Sac for a week and then we head back down south again, this time in the car to go home for THREE WEEKS!! We all get to stay in our own beds...even daddy because he is meeting us there for All Star break :-)

Not Only has miss Addie been a busy traveling bee, she also had another friend pop through her mouth....she got a another tooth! This one was not very pleasant for both Mommy and Addie, so we are thankful that it broke through and enjoying this happy time before another one decides to make an appearance..ha!

Stay tuned for next months post...you never no this crazy little baby could be walking! Happy 4th!!!
