Jake & Jenna's Wedding

We had Jake and Jenna's wedding this weekend...and LOOK!  Addie has her dress on!  Let me tell you.  She REALLY did NOT want that dress on at first, and I kind of had to fight with her a little putting it on, but we got in on.  Once we got it on, she didn't want to take it off!  Look at our little flower girl.  Isn't she just the most adorable thing you have ever seen?!!

Practicing her "sprint" down the isle.

Addie and Wyatt got along wonderfully.  They were so stinkin' cute together.

Addison with her flowers...

Addison, Wyatt, and Jasmyn.

Wyatt liked to hold Addie's hand.  Addie and Wyatt are only about three weeks apart in age.  Addie being three weeks older...

Practicing the walk...

Wyatt also liked to give Addie hugs and kisses.  Addie didn't always like this, but it was adorable.  I think Wyatt was just used to playing with a bunch of boys and not a delicate little girl like Addie! lol!!

The wedding party.  You will have to excuse the brightness, I think the photographer's flash was interfering with my flash.

dancing on the alter...

Pretending to talk on the phone.  Wonder where she gets that?!

Addie and Wyatt being kept occupied before they had to walk down the isle.

I bet you are wondering if she did walk down.....AND SHE DID!!!  Well, and back!  She walked down and I stayed back to capture a few pics before heading up.  As I was walking up to the front, Addie didn't see me and took off for the back of the church.  She was yelling for "MOMMY"  and when she still didn't see me she had a meltdown in the middle of the isle.  Throwing herself down to the floor.  I was MORTIFIED, but the rest of the church thought it was hilarious.  It was the talk of the night (minus Addie's dancing, which I will put up pictures in another post).  Where was Daddy in all of this, you might ask?!!  Well, as dairy farmers most of the time do, he was running about 5 minutes behind, so he missed it!  I am hoping someone caught it on camera so he can see it at some point!

My beautiful family after the wedding...

The girl likes her bubbles...

...I mean REALLY likes her bubbles!

Just the start of her dancing for the day!

The wedding turned out wonderful (other than the show from Miss Addie)!!  I will post pictures of the reception later!!

flower girl practice...

Today is the BIG day!!  Addie's first wedding!  She is the adorable little flower girl today!  I just hope that her and Wyatt do as well as they did while practicing last night....wish us luck!

Addie update...

Our lives have not seemed to slow down quite yet.  This weekend we have Dan's cousin wedding, in which Addie is the flower girl.  The past few weeks I have not been able to get her to put on the dress, so I told her it was princess Addie's dress, and she put it ON!!  Let's hope that later today she will do the same!  Little nervous...

~Addie Update~

Addie is such a wonderful 2-year old.  Don't get me wrong, we see the "terrible twos" come right out of her sometimes, but it is manageable.  She is fully potty trained, day and NIGHT!!  Every once and awhile we have an accident at night if she drank too late, but she does AWESOME!  I think we started not diapering her at night three weeks ago and she has only had three accidents (at night). 

She continues to learn SO much.  She is great with her colors and shapes, and is now learning her letters.  We are working on learning her name and she has the A down, but makes up the rest of the letters at this point.  She usually says "A-O-A-I...."  or similar to that.  She is able to recognize when you write her name down or she sees it written somewhere.  She talks very well and her vocabulary grows all the time.

She sleeps well in her own bed, but requires either Dan or I to lay with her until she falls asleep.  This started when I went back to work.  I really think she just wants a little more time with us, so we take turns doing this.  She doesn't take long to fall asleep, but it certainly makes us ready for bed when we have been laying in a dark room for 15 minutes!  She sleeps through the night, but sometimes wakes up to go potty.

She loves to play and goof around, twirl in circles, and pretend to ride her horsey around the house!  Well, those are just a few of her favorites.  She loves playing with her babies, 52 card pick-up (mom and dad don't like this game so much), reading her books, helping mom cook, watching Calliou, and playing outside.

A few pictures to complete Miss Addie's update....

This little incident happened a few weeks ago.  Addie got a little wild with a red marker, and she was SO sneaky about it!  Needless to say, we took 2 baths that night!

Addie LOVES Sunday School.  She will ask to go all the time.  Here she is painting her first picture with water colors.  She did SO well with it, so I bought some for home too!

Addie's "i'm up to something" look...

hard at work.

tickles from mommy!

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!! :)

first snow...

We had our first snow this fall, and I don't think anyone was more excited than our little Addie!  She insisted that she wear her snow boots today and go out to play in the snow.  Thank goodness it didn't last long and it is now melted...but not before I captured a few pics of our Addie...

Addison's first haircut!

Addie had her first haircut on Saturday...

...and she really enjoyed it.  Can't you tell?!!

She sat very well with mommy!

We had a little taken off her bangs and a little off the back to even out the length.

She was SO proud of herself when she was done!  She still has wild curly hair, it's just a little shorter now!  I just can't believe how fast our little girl is growing up!
