My 1st out of town visitor...since moving to Huntsville!

I was so thrilled to have my 1st out of town visitor last week! My dear friend Kari who lives in Nashville brought her youngest to come and play for the day. It was so wonderful to have someone in the flesh to talk to. I know that sounds kind of tragic but I seriously don't know anyone here. I am working on changing that but that's another post. I will be planning a day trip up to Nashville as soon as we get all moved into our new place. It's great that we live close enough now where I can make day trips up there to visit. Here are a few pics of the fun day.

Sweet Caroline pushing Addison!

Portland, OR

My cousin Mandy who is only 4 days older than me was married on August 8th (my 30th birthday) in Portland. I definitely won't ever forget her anniversary. Michael and I were lucky enough to be able to fly out to Portland and attend. I was glad that Michael was able to meet some of my cousins and extended family. It was a very short trip but well worth it.

Me, my mom, and my 3 Aunt's after they surprised me with a birthday cake at the wedding. So thoughtful!

My cousin Mandy and her groom! She was beautiful!

Favorite Things at 18 months old!

On my 30th birthday Addison was 18 months old, Crazy! So I thought I would share some of her favorite things:

Favorite Foods: fruit of any kind, hummus (she eats it in spoonfuls) ; steamed broccoli, any kind of cheese, scrambled eggs and turkey sausage.

Favorite Things & Hobbies: her paci; screaming at my mom's cat (poor tater) ; playing in the sandbox; pretending to drive the car (while the car is parked); trying on any shoes; coloring on anything (not my favorite); talking in her own language that I cannot understand; and the last and most favorite driving mommy and daddy crazy while looking too cute for her own good.

She is definitely coming into her own personality!
