Bike!

Addison's bike has replaced his scooter as his new favorite mode of transport. He likes to so wheelies on it too!!!
(here he is checking out his finger nail which seems to be a common area of concern)

Skate Park

We took Addie to the skate park today and he had a blast. Patrick got his skate on as well and I think he might have even had more fun than Addie!

Happy Eight Months

Gone are the days of me able to take her monthly pictures easily. She used to just sit in the chair so I could snap away. Then came the day when she sat up and gone was the chair. Now I tried to take her picture on the blanket and all she wanted to do was crawl for the camera.

She is such a joy. She is constantly happy unless I sneeze which terrifies her or if she sees Addison's orange dinosaur which she is also not a big fan of.

It is so much fun watching her and Addie play together. She thinks he is hilarious and is always laughing at him. She also loves his toys (esp. his trash truck) which he is not too excited about. He has gotten really good about giving her one of her toys if he doesn't want to share. For now, that seems to work. I am thinking in a few months....not so much!

Happy Birthday

I had a great birthday this year. Patrick (and all my friends) really went all out to surprise me. One of my favorite parts was when Patrick had me wait upstairs so he could surprise me with a birthday cake. As he was lighting the candles I hear Addie saying MMMM, cake.......MMMMM, cake over and over. Patrick was trying to tell him to not say anything because it was a surprise but he just couldn't help himself.

Averly had a blast with my balloons!!!

Bath Time

Look at these two cuties after an evening of dancing and playing! I am hoping to embarrass Addie in about 15 years with this (when he is hanging with E at the beach...ha!)

Etheridge Family Clan

My dad got a hold of an old Etheridge Family photo. He had us guess which one was my grandfather a.k.a. Old Indian (Herbert A. Etheridge). I guessed correctly and Patrick did not...ha!

Here is the photo with my grandfather circled.

Slide

Addie spotted this skateboard ramp at the ob farmers market last week and decided it was a slide. Isla joined right in!!!
