Celebration

We went to a 100 year farm and anniversary celebration for some family friends. Addison was able to feed some horses and hang out in the barn. She had a good time, but it was really windy that day. She also got to play the drums with Louie.

The Green Tractor

Riding the green tractor (as Addison called it) with papa was definitely one of Addison's favorite things to do while we were back. She rode with my dad to cut hay and to bale. It was so cute when she asked, "Make pink bales with papa, mommy?" She eventually accepted the fact that the bales were not going to be pink.

A Day with Avery

Addison enjoyed spending the day with my brother Joe's little girl, Avery, at the water park and at her house. My sister-in-law, Jessi, and their little boy, Mason, also joined in on the fun.

Cousin Bailey

We drove to Fargo one day to visit my brother, sister-in-law, and niece. Addison had fun playing with Bailey, and it was nice to catch up with Nick and Katie.

It isn't easy trying to get two toddlers and two adults to all look good in one picture!

Every Little Girl's Dream!

This was a playhouse that was built by one of Nathan's mom's neighbors. Addison really enjoyed it. The house had a ceiling fan, air conditioning, a TV...etc! It was really cute!

Barbie Shoes, Purses, and Ice Cream

Addison pretty much lived on icecream while we were in ND. I'm pretty sure she averaged about one cone a day. She also continued to be a girly girl with her 'high heels' and her purse!

Bob the Cat and the Giant Swing

Addison LOVES my parents cat, Bob. She was always calling for him to come up to the house so she could feed him and pet him.














This swing was built by my great grandpa. He was a German blacksmith who came to the United States from Odessa Russia. He created all kinds of amazing artwork like fences, iron crosses for grave markers, swings, clothes lines, etc.

Fishing

Addison had a great time fishing with Nate, Dinah and Dave. She caught several fish with her Dora fishing pole.
