Big Sur






Here are some of the great shots Olivia took!

Mammoth

We went to Mammoth with The Syz family and had such a great time!


We went on a little hike. We didn't make it as far as we thought we would but it was still a great little jaunt!
Everly and Addie watching videos. Too cute!
Brittany and I did a "stroller friendly" hike. Addison walked a bit of the way!
Look at how great Brittany looks! We can't wait to meet the little one on the way!
Throwing pine cones in the river.
Little missy on her walk! (a.k.a hike)

Tired Eyes


Look at these tired eyes! I just liked this photo!

Trains





Averly finally started to play trains with Addison! She mainly walks around the table and chews on different train tracks or trains but Addison still likes it. Well, unless she takes the ones he is playing with!
He was also been using the train book to point out what he wants us to buy him. He says can we buy this one, and that one, and this one? If I don't answer him he says "maybe". He has also gone through the book and said Lucia is going to buy this one and this one and this one. He has also enlisted Pa Paw and She She. I haven't broken it to everyone yet that he thinks they are buying him the entire book. "Maybe"!

Montages



We went camping at Big Sur and Olivia took all these amazing photos! She did these montages of the kiddos that are super cute!

Veggie Burger


Addison eats veggie burgers ALL the time. They are his favorite! Here he is cooking one.

First Day of School



Our Little Buddy had his first day of school. Since I am so late uploading pictures I can add a bit about how it is going!
He loves it! He has teacher Gini and Julie and his favorite playmates are Jackson, Charlie and Seamus.
I met with the teachers last week to see how Addie was doing. I must brag that they said he is one of their model students (their words, not mine). Its funny because Patrick and I have been wondering what he was like at school. They said he loves to clean up, says his pleases and thank you's at snack time, waits on his carpet square until being dismissed and does not hit (I guess a lot of the other kids are doing that). Great to hear!
We get to walk to school on the trail every morning which is great. It really is a treat. Addie scooters and I trail behind with little missy. He loves to "collect" all the plants, leaves, berries, rocks, etc. along the way.

My Outfits

Mom saved a few of my outfits and brought them out with her last time she was in town. Averly is sporting one of them in these photos.


Addie eating his cereal with Averly who is sipping on some water....


Little Missy


I thought this was a cute picture of little missy and Mi Mi. Soon enough she will be standing on the table on her own!
Notice Addie standing in the back yard with his gun!

Happy Birthday Mi Mi



We celebrated with Birthday brownies!

Go Play in the Street





We spend a lot of time playing in the street, literally!
Here are some shots from when Mi Mi was in town.

Mi Mi, Watermelon...oh and trucks!





Who thought watermelon could bring so many smiles. Maybe it's just that Mi Mi was in town! Oh and a huge smile from Addison for his new truck!

Cape

I made Addie a Halloween cape. He is going to be a fireman for haloween, this is just to have fun in since he likes spiders and spooky things so much. I'll have to take his picture wearing it...... More photos to come.

Vroom vroom

What better thing to do while you are getting your tires rotated than walk next door to the dune buggy storefront? Addison was in hog heaven!!!!

Is she a Calhoon?

Yes, I do have a bit of a mini mi....which is well deserved because addie looks so much like his Pa paw (and da da).... But in this picture the Calhoon is really showing through!
She is sporting another one of my outfits!

The dynamic duo

My parents used to call Grayson and I the dynamic duo. It's hard to believe that I now have my own duo. Here they are in action.
I love watching them play together and although I never really thought about it at the time it is really fun to have them be so close in age.

When mom came out last week she brought about 15 outfits that were mine when I was little. Averly's little jumper (not the onesie underneath) is one of them. It was adorable. Mom and dad, does it bring you guys back?
