If Dads workin', Addies workin'!

The minute Tyler pulls out any tools Addie

is right by his side helping him or working on

her own project beside him...using his tools!

This particular night Addie found a project of her

own to work on as Dad finished installing a

slider tray in his study desk. I think Santa

should bring some tools for Addie this Christmas!

This is the current face i'm getting when i say,"smile Addie!"

Addie decided to take on the "vent" project.
This included sticking dads screw driver in the vent
a couple times and discovering that the vent could come off.

Both hard at work

Laboring to get the vent off

Making a discovering! New things to explore!

This is intense concentration go on here!

Putting the vent back into its spot.

Shes got some serious concentrating tounge action...

wonder where she gets that from?....Tyler....

Having fun with Daddy

We had just finished dinner so i ran upstairs to do

a couple things while Tyler could keep his eye on Addie

and I could enjoy a short lived moment of time to myself.

This is what I found when i finally came back downstairs!

Tyler had made himself the human rug jungle gym

Daddy is so fun to play with! This little girl
just loves being with her Daddy
(and for my family.....
doesnt Addie look like McKay in this pic?? Ha ha ha!)

And Addie was having a blast!

She would yell,"Giddy up Zebra!"

For those who don't know, Addie associates

anything horse like to a zebra...ya normally

its the other way around!

These two have so much fun together! Im so glad

Tyler takes the time to play and be with Addie.

A bit of Randomness

Here goes a little bit of randomness.

Addie enjoying her basket of bouncy balls

Ok everyone back home eat your heart out!
Our gas prices here in Des Moines are awesome!
And since this picture, which was only a week ago,
its gone down another .10 cents!


Cherish the love. We don't get a lot of times like this any
more where its just the two of us!

And this is what Addie looks like at the end of the day
when mom wakes up sick and Dads at school all day.

Enjoying our spring-like days we've been having! The past
week and this week so far we have had the most amazing
warm weather. We are soaking up the outside playing time
as much as we can. Unfortunately it will come to an end by this weekend.:(

Lady bugs....they are everywhere. And they
are not your typical red and black, innocent,
peaceful little creatures...these orange and black lady bugs will
bite and they hang out all over in our window sills
inside our house and out!
