Weekend Update

We had a busy weekend. We took Addison to Seattle to see the Nickelodeon presentation of the Backyardigans at the Paramount Theater. She wore her Pablo costume, and received many comments from people in the audience. When we left, the little girl sitting beside her said, "Bye, Pablo!" It was really cute. The show was an hour and a half long, so she started to get pretty antsy, but she did okay. We didn't get to take many pictures, because photography wasn't allowed inside the show. I've included a few pictures along with her Pablo pics.

I can't get over how long her hair is, especially in the bath tub!


She loves to color!!


She had to wear her Pablo costume to the Backyardigans concert in Seattle yesterday.

The Pumpkin Patch

We took Addison to the pumpkin patch today. She had so much fun!



Taking a wagon ride to the pumpkin patch




"Wow! Look at all the pumpkins! This is so exciting!"


"This one might be a little heavy for me to pick up, but I'm going to try."


"This pumpkin is just my size."


"Yeah, this one is good!"


"I wonder if I can pick this one up?"


"Okay...I guess not."


"Maybe I'll try this one instead."


"OR...I'll just stand by it and look cute."




"This one looks good."


"Get your hands off my pumpkin, mom!"


"That's better...just keep your distance and everything will be fine!"




"Daddy, are you sure I'm supposed to be riding with the pumpkins?"




"Hmm. These little animals sure are cute. I wonder if mommy and daddy will let me take one home?"


"Oh, WOW! I think this is going to be F-U-N!"


"Yep! I was right!"

Having Fun!

We've been busy with work and chasing Addison around. She is now trying to repeat everything we say. So, it's time to watch our p's and q's. She loves taking Ellie and Wrigley for walks. She insists on holding Ellie's leash. I think she knows Ellie is harder to hold on to, and she wants the challenge. It is a good thing she is strapped into her stroller when we walk, otherwise Ellie would have pulled her right out of it a few times! She is also into coloring and walking everywhere we go while holding either mommy or daddy's hand.

She loves to sit on and snuggle with her giant dog from Uncle Matt.


Holding on tight to her elephant that shoots butterflies into the air.


"Hello! Sure you can come over for dinner! I'll cook some Mac&Cheese."


Washing dishes in her new kitchen.


Relaxing with Ellie.

Pablo, Pablo, and more Pablo!

Addison's obsession with Pablo, the penguin, from the Backyardigans continues. Here she is in her Halloween costume.

We've been busy!

We were very busy while my parents were visiting. Here are the pictures to prove it!

Addison went to the Puyallup fair twice this year! Grandma and grandpa took her to see her favorite cartoon characters, the Backyardigans. She is obsessed with them at home, and was so excited to see them in person.

Watching Muttin' Bustin' with Grandpa


Checking to see if grandpa has any boogers..YUCK!


The monkey show


Addison just had to have this giant pink popcorn ball at the fair. She thought it was great until she realized how sticky it made her hands. She hates when her hands are dirty!




Trying out the vibrating foot massager




Dad and I rode on the sling shot chair at the fair. It was quite a ride!






"Grandma put these curlers in my hair."


Grandpa being silly

She loves her new mouse shoes


We all got to enjoy fresh crab straight from the ocean


Addison absolutely goes CRAZY for grated parmesan cheese. Here she is enjoying every last powdery crumb!






Enjoying some milk at Mt. Ranier with her sunglasses on, of course!
