Better late than never... OCTOBER Happening!

Daddy got back just in time to take me out Trick or Treating! I might have been a little excited!

Thank you to Everyone on both sides for my incredible presents and two Wonderful days of celebrating my birthday! I didn't want it to end to say the least!




Addy LOVES Merry go rounds!

Parents taken a break while watching the little ones play at the park!
My first train ride EVER...it was awesome!
This is my new little nephew Chaplen! He is an incredible baby with a hearty appetite! Kaeli looks awesome for being a new mommy once again!
Even my good "friends" Trinity and Dylan came...my cousins!
Catching fish with your bare hands is not as easy as it looks...someone is bound to get a little wet!

Well at least Uncle John caught a fish with his hands...Art and Addy might have gotten a green bath in the process but who doesn't like smelling like fishee!!!
What more could ya ask for...feeding the duckies with daddy!
Anyone want to go fishing! Papa has been wanting to give this to me for a while! I LOVED IT!
Addy's 3rd birthday! The best of both worlds Ice Cream Cake, cousins and family! Yeah!
YES!!! Bath time anyone!
Paisley got to spend the night for a couple of days & it was a blast!
Our Gorgeous little Princess!
Arts first brisket! Yum YUM! Looks can be deceiving...

Duckies, Living Arrangements, Beach, SEA WORLD!!!

Please don't go swimming in the green water...
This was at the Veterans Hospital, one of the hospitals Art was Rotating at in Loma Linda, CA
The Ducks there were pretty aggressive...to say the least Addy kept throwing the bread at my feet, and these wonderful little duckies almost got my feet a time or two!!

Different park day with the duckies! Of course Addy made a friend after sharing her bread...this little friend showed us that the ducks will eat shredded wheat!
How does one live out of a Hotel room for a month???
NOT very easily!!! Especially when a toddler is involved! This is where Addy slept most of the time in CA...lets just say there were a TON of LONG, LATE nights involved!
But what can ya do??? Ya just manage it and move on!
Addy LOVED helping me wash dishes in the sink!
I just LOVE it when our sweet little girl sleeps...isn't she the cutest!!!
ONE of me and Addy, you can tell who takes the pictures!

Trying to keep a Toddler busy and Happy in a Hotel can be interesting, but when ya have paint...well!
Paint the face!
She Loves having her face painted!
Ahh, Shamoo! well I don't remember all of the huge whales names but this was Addy's highlight or our adventure in CA, next to the beach that is!



This was one BIG fish, just a reminder of what you are swimming with in the ocean!
Dolphin time!


If any one knows Addy, well touching an Animal is a whole lot different than seeing them on the T.V. it takes a lot of patience and persuasion to get her to even think about touching a real animal!



We all got SOAKED sitting in the third row back from Shamoo's tank! Man that whale can splash! Addy didn't really like the whole idea of getting wet at the beginning of the park so before we left we saw the Shamoo show one last time before leaving, we were in the center like 6 rows back and didn't even get a drop on us! Addy liked that show a ton better..maybe because freezing ICE water wasn't thrown on her! Good thing it was summer!

Catching up....Let it begin!!! CA Trip!!!

Sorry all of the pictures are scrambled together...accident...obviously I didn't mean for these to be the first pictures to be presented...Welcome to my little Preggo world of mix ups & mess ups!
It was interesting and fun to see what other people at the beach created out of the sand, though!





Pretty Classy, our castle was of course the best!
The first day Addy was scared to death of the sea crabs, them Art told her it was a fish the second day and we finally got her to walk on the sand and later to hold it...big step for her!






The pictures area little turned around we picked strawberries first and raspberries last! It was kinda of scary picking the raspberries considering there were bees EVERYWHERE, to say the least Addy was tired by this time and I did the picking!

This was in CA at Rileys Farm it was so beautiful on the farm! Right across the street, literally, the mountain in all burned up and the day we went was the first day the opened the road up, just a little crazy!
Admiring the fishie's I think she was pretty close to getting in here she kept going back here!
Enjoying the spoils!
