New Word

As most of you know at this age (almost 20mths) Addison is a sponge, soaking up all of the knowledge that she can. Her new word over the weekend was "toilet". She has so much fun when mommy isn't looking to throw things in and play like it is her personal kiddie pool. I need to go find a lock for it, but I just thought it would be a quick thing to teach her not to do that. Guess not. LOL. So she now can say three bathroom words. "poop" (which we say with the silliest grin on our face), "toilet", and "tee tee". It is so funny. My mom said yesterday that she told her to poop. Wish I could have been there for that.

Memorial Day weekend

Pictures from Memorial Day Weekend

Addison was a lot of fun this weekend. I wish we would have taken some pictures yesterday, but I forgot. We were having a blast with her. She is changing so much. Here are a few from Sunday on our way to church and then Tristen and Landon's Birthday party on Sunday afternoon.

This was sent to me yesterday and I thought I would share.

Issues-As always with a 1 yr old

Well, I am so happy that we have a long weekend to spend sometime together. Addison has a crazy thing going on where she won't walk. I know that something happened at school yesterday, but so far I can't get any answers from anyone there. We did end up calling 911 just in case she had a spine injury or something. I know that sounds crazy, but you would have just had to see what she was doing. She wouldn't not even stand. If you stood her up her legs would just collapse under her and she would scream and cry. It scared me so bad. I called up Grammy and ask her to come and see what was going on. She couldn't figure it out either. She still won't walk this morning and she is at home with her daddy today. When I was there picking her up she has a big place under her eye and I asked them what happened and they told me that there was some hair pulling. Well I think it went beyond that. I am over being angry I just wanted to know what happened. The director told me that I might want to see if she has a virus, because viruses can set up in their hips and cause them not to walk. She said another little girl there had it a couple of weeks ago. Another interesting thing was that one of her socks were wet and I couldn't figure out why. After all was said and done my mom suggested that maybe they put ice on it after whatever happened. Anyway, I hope she decides to walk soon. I had lots of thoughts on things to do this weekend.

We are hoping to paint the hallway while we are at home tomorrow and get somethings done around the house. I would love to paint the whole living room, but that is a big project that is going to take some time.

I hope that everyone has a wonderful Memorial Day weekend and stay safe!!!!!!!!

God bless all of our soldiers and fallen soldiers..

ADDY'S FRIENDS

Baby Kaylee came to visit us last weekend. She thought she could ride in Addy's shopping cart. She did actually ride in it. She is getting so big.

Addison is having seperation issues, but not with me or her daddy. Everyday when we get home she tells me all about A'ry. Most of you know that A'ry is her friend at daycare who is actually Avery. You can see him on "Family News" blog. She loves her A'ry. Last night when I picked her up I asked her if she had a good day and she said over and over A'ry, A'ry. Well it turns out that Avery had fallen yesterday and was crying when she left, so I guess she was worried about him. HOW SWEET.

Just being Silly 5/14/08

If you haven't been by the new site for my bows, go and check it out. I have added some new bows and headbands. Here are a few to get you started:

Prayer for Mark

Please say a prayer for Mark. Amber told him on the phone tonight that she doesn't want anything else to do with him. She said she doesn't want to talk to him on the phone or see him because she is always in trouble when she is with him. Funny thing that she told him it was his fault that she is always getting in trouble and lying and that is what Lynn told Mark a couple of weeks ago. I know this too will pass, but he is hurt and needs some prayers.

Mother's Day

I have been thinking a lot about what it means to be a mother. WOW!! I never knew that God could give me such a gift. She is my gift. God has trusted me with a life. I think about that and sometimes get so scared. I want to make all of the right decisions and raise her to be the absolute best that she can be. I want her to see through all of the evil in the world and put her trust in God and hold her head high and not be a follower. I want her to be a leader and show people the right way.
I reflect back to the day that I found out I was pregnant with her. It wasn't what I was expecting and I wasn't ready, but isn't it funny how God knows that you are. I lost my way several years ago when I thought it wasn't "cool" to put God in your life and let people know that. I thought that I knew better. Tonight I sit and think had I not changed how in the world would I raise my daughter. I turn to God everyday to help me know what to do. I fight back tears to think where would I be without God and my family. I am still learning how to trust God fully. The preacher seems to know that I need to hear these things over and over.
It bothers me everyday to hear on the news and in the paper how people take lives for granted and hurt these gifts that have been trusted to us.
I also thank God that I have a mother who loves me and cares for me and my daughter. I LOVE YOU MOM!!!!!!
My last thanks on this topic is to my sister who has absolutely been my rock. She can never be thanked enough for never giving up on me and getting me back in church and helping me every step of the way. Sara, thank you so much for one of the best gifts someone could give me. Thank you for showing me all that you have and allowing me to be on your heels while I'm still learning.
