We like to play WII

Yes, daddy and Addison are playing Wii. Addison just loves pretending she is playing with daddy and repeating everything he says, which is not usually a good thing.
Addison always likes to be in style, and right now out here all the kids have these bracelets called silly bands that are in the shapes of animals or other shapes. She loves to share them with her friends.

We watched a friends dog while they were out of town, Callie. Addison just loved playing with her. Gizmo just walks away from her but Callie would snuggle with Addison and let her baby her. Addison just loved it playing mommy with her.

Grandma's Visit

I have a new calling as Stake Young Women Counselor, and the Stake is in charge of girls camp. I knew I was going to be busy up at camp so lucky me and Addison got both of the Grandma's to come babysit. Grandma Walker came over before camp and the first half of the week and Grandma Cammy came for the second half of the week and played a few days after I got back.

It was my first time away from Addison, but it was nice to know she had a Grandmother to look after her while I was gone.

This picture is from visiting a Day Lily nursery with Grandma Walker. Addison chased this black Lab all over. They were good buddies, and I thought he looked like Skidder (Grandpa Willmore's dog)

Notice both grandma and Addison pictures have a dolly in the picture. Addison will only pose for a picture if she has a doll.


Thanks Again Grandma's! We love you!

Biltmore Mansion

RJ didn't have a spring or summer break this year, so when we had a three day weekend we decided to take a trip down to the Biltmore Mansion in North Carolina. It was built in the late 1900's, and is still the largest mansion in North America. It was amazing, it had a heated pool, refrigerator, and one of the first bowling alleys in the basement.

We visited the gardens that surrounded Biltmore Mansion, and of course Addison would not hold still for any of the pictures. This one, I was standing 50 yards away and I still couldn't get her face toward the camera. Silly Girl! She loved running around the flowers and trees.

We Have a nice Mall here in Richmond that has fountains the kids can go play in. I didn't think Addison would really get in the water that much so I didn't take her swimming suite. Big Mistake. About 5 minutes after we got there Addison was down to her underwear. Oops!

Fist Hair cut

Addison's First official Haircut. She was so good, she loved getting it done.

Finally!

I know I know, it has been a long time grandparents. I have just had both Grandma Walker and Grandma Cammy visit, and they both gave me enough grief if figured I should update the blog.

So the past year in a nut shell...

RJ is now in his fourth year of medical school. He has been working hard this year with rotations. Addison is a cute as ever. She is now 2 1/2. She is always doing new and funny things, I I love being a mom.
