Father's Day

We had a great father's Day! We spent the day at Fiesta Island with the Kirian's and Ali and DJ. We played in the water, sand and rode the jet ski. Da Da even took Addie for a little spin.

Playing in the water.....

Jess and Isla. Addison is in love with Isla. If I mention her name he won't stop saying it all day. It is really cute. Hopefully big brother Sam doesn't mind!

Da Da pulling Addison in the tube. He had a blast!

Our setup!

BFF's Sam and Addie sharing some tube time.

Isla sporting it on the sand!

Da Da with Addie and Sam. Look at Sam drive!

Da Da got a new mower for the yard which he loved! He has been spending his weekends getting the yard into tip top shape. This pic is of Addie helping Patrick open his father's day gift from Grandy. Of course there were puffs and yogurt melts on top. He didn't have interest in much else after that!

A little yard work with Da Da

Addison loves to help Da Da in the yard!

She She and Paw Paw's

Once again, it looks like I failed in the taking picture department. She She, can you forward some my way so I can post them?
We had a great time in Dallas. We played with Uncle Chris and of course the grandparents. Addison spent several afternoons in the pool and spent lots of time eating! His appetite had definitely come back after being sick and we marveled watching him eat several dinners and an obscene amount of food at every meal!
We even got to meet all the ladies at the beauty shop since Sheila had scheduled a manicure appointment for me! Thank you!!!

My friend Amy came over one night to see Addie. The weather was extremely hot the entire trip but we would wait until the evening and take a wagon ride when it was cooler. Amy went with us on one of our wagon rides.

Addison and Uncle Chris playing. Paw Paw looked long and hard for the perfect tricycle. Even though Addison couldn't reach the pedals he still loved riding it.

Paw Paw had spent some long hot hours in the attic getting down Patrick and Chris' old toys for Addison to play with. He had big blocks, lots of cars and trucks and the little people toys. They were all a big hit. Thanks Paw Paw (and She She of course!!!)

We went up to the office to see Paw Paw and She She hard at work. Addison kept on sliding down the dental chair and saying "wee". He had a ball!

She She and Paw Paw reading a bedtime story. I couldn't get the best picture because I was trying to take it without Addison seeing me.

Austin!!!

We got to spend the weekend with Ya Ya and Gi in Austin. Addison had such a good time. He was a little leary of the dogs at first, especially Mia, the smallest dog which was pretty funny. It only took him a day and they soon became fast friends. He is now obsessed with dogs when he sees them. Ya Ya was great about taking lots of pictures for us. Here is a sampeling!

Addie and Uncle Gi before bedtime. Look at those tired eyes!

Gi got down the tows from when he was a kid. The Tonka Truck was a BIG hit!

Addison playing at the playground. Good thing we don't mind a few germs in the mouth. Ha!

We rode the train at Barton Springs. Addison was in hog heaven. There was even a guy playing the banjo along the train route. A huge bonus!

Playing the guitar with Julien.

Relaxing before bedtime with Gi again. I think they were watching the world cup!

Yes, some day Addison is going to be horrified by these pictures. But this is our future Rock Star hard at work (or atleast future Rock Band player).

Great Grandma

It always means so much to me when Addison gets to see Great Grandma. She holds a special place in my heart and was such a big part of my life growing up.

Addison loved the cookies that we made to bring to her and ate a ton of them. Well, actually I should give credit where credit is due. I had good intentions of making cookies to take but wasn't feeling too well and Grandy did most, if not all, of the baking.

Addison also had a blast riding on her walker! We actually volunteered at a nursing home last week and Addison kept on trying to ride on everyone's walker.

More Family!!!

We got to see Aunt Wanda, Uncle Bob and Angela while we were in town. Addison had a really good time with everyone. He got a new Dinosaur Book and Stuffed Animal from them (he is holding it in his lap in the first picture).

It is so nice when we go home to get to see everyone. Luckily, we get to see the grandparent's when they come to visit us but don't have that luxury with all of our extended family. The Parson's family are like my second parents so it means a lot to me that Addison gets to spend time with them.

I cannot believe that I did not take more pictures than this. I think we did they are just on Mom's camera....Mom, please send pics. I don't have any of Aunt Wanda, Angela, You or Gary to post. Agghhh!!!!!

Addie had a great time with Pa Pa and Grandy. We read endless books and he loved playing with the twin's old toys. Thanks for keeping them handy Grandy and Pa Pa!

Grandy was a huge help when Addie had fever at 3 in the morning. I almost gave her and Pa Pa a heart attack though when I had to wake them in the middle of the night. Sorry!!!

Grandpa and Mop's House

Granpa and Mops got Addie a dump truck tent. It even came with a hardhat. He is really into hats right now so the hardhat is a super big hit!

Mops made homeade ice cream which Addie really liked!
