Minnesota Trip

Here's Addyson right before bedtime with her cousins Shelby and Raegan. I believe my mom was reading Green Egg's And Ham. You can't get any better than that!!! We were able to spend two nights up in Fargo at my brother, Shawn's and sister-in-law Angie's. We really had a great time just visiting although every time we got done reading one book, Kristi would BEG us to read another one.....Really.....Kristi.....It was time for bed.

Here's Addyson with her cousins Brady and Paige. While in Sauk Centre we had a chance to go see Brady play hockey at practice and Paige at her dance class. They are getting so big. We also had a chance to play Brady in Guitar Hero (Where he kicked our BUTT) and watch High School Musical with Paige. GOOD TIMES!!

Trip To Minnesota

Here is Addyson with Grandma at the Mall of America doing what my mom does best SHOP!! In a way we are pretty lucky that we live in Seattle and my mom lives in Minnesota because I can tell you right now, if my mom lived here Addyson would already be saying her first word."SALE"

Here is Addyson with Grandpa Gamradt at his shop!! While there she was able to help my dad cut up some wood for cabinets and she was a natural with the nail gun.

Since we got home, I have been meaning to post some pictures from our trip to Minnesota but before I posted them I was hoping to create a DVD for my family but things have fallen a little behind. Plus, I took like 600 pictures so I guess I should be alright!!

Brooke's Wedding

YES!! We stole this picture from Lori and Matt but it's so dang cute that we had to post it as well. I mean it's Addyson with her man Andrew. Her man, Kai was also at the wedding but I can't find the picture. I think it might be on the Tuomisto's camera and I have no problem stealing that one too if we get the chance. (J/K) but if I find it, I will post it.

Kristi giving her toast to the new bride and groom.

Our first Wedding as a family. A huge success until Addyson tried to match her Aunt Brooke by doing a keg stand. Let me tell you, I think she gave her a run for her money but fell a little short but that's what college is for.

This past weekend, Brooke and David got married. The wedding was not only beautiful but also very elegant. It was a very special time for Kristi, since she and Brooke are pretty much in separable. I was responsible of watching Addyson during the ceremony and I am proud to say she was great. Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Buckingham

Just Eating and Sleeping

"Good Morning" Welcome to my king size bed. This is my first morning in this huge thing and what a huge success it was. I slept from 9 pm all the way till 7:30 am.

MMMM....This taste like bacon and eggs. Where's my milk?

Thanks for giving me a helping hand MOMMY!!

Welcome to our Blog, Sorry we haven't had any new posting in awhile but we are back and better than ever. A lot of things have happened since our last posting, Addyson has taken her first flight to Minnesota, she has started eating a little bit of rice, she is sleeping in her new room all by herself, and her aunt Brooke is now married.

***Addyson's Growth**** A couple of weeks ago Addyson had her four month check up, she was in the 25 percentile for everything. She weighed 12lbs 5.5 oz, she grew to 23 5/8 inches, and for the life of us we can't think of her head measurements. I want to say it was 15 but I think that might be a little big so I'm not sure. In short she is growing like a weed.

Happy New Year

This year we brought in the New Year with the Tuomisto's and the Dyk's at Matt and Lori's house. We all had a good time eating, playing games, and watching the fireworks or non-fireworks coming off the Space Needle.

Earlier in the night we played this dice game, I beleive called LCR (or something like that) Here Ryean-Marie rubbed the dice on Addyson's head for good luck.

As you can see the luck worked since the Tuomisto's ran off with all the money. Now, Kristi and I won't be able to pay our mortgage payment this month but I guess that's how it goes and as you can tell by Ryan's face expression he doesn't care because he's a PLAYER!!

The girls enjoying the festivities. A couple of pictures we did not get is Kai, Andrew, and Addyson all together or a group shot. I'm not sure what we were thinking.

The guys!! I wanted to take a picture of us before we started playing the Wii, because if I took one afterwards all you would see is Matt and Ryan T. CRYING!! (J/K)

Where did it go?

It doesn't happen all the time but it seems to happen a lot. When Addyson falls asleep or is sitting waiting for us she will spit out her binky and it will just sit on her chest, her arm, or shoulder. You just have to laugh some times.

First Christmas Hat!!

I know this is a little late but we had to put Addyson on here sporting her First Christmas Hat!! Addyson and I made out like Rock Stars when it comes to gifts while Kristi got hosed. Before Christmas, Kristi and I decided not to give each other gifts, well that's not what happened. Kristi got me a Macro lens for my camera, not a cheap gift while all she got was a husband standing there with a smile on his face saying MERRY CHRISTMAS!! To all of you out there I would not recommend this. Even though we said we weren't going to get anything I should of got something, I will admit I screwed up BIG TIME. I guess I will just have to go all out for our 3rd anniversary on Jan 22nd. Any ideas out there?
