We have so looked forward to going to the Gala this

year and a HUGE thanks to a sweet friend

of ours who watched the kids so we could go!

A night out on the town!

Music, Dancing, and my personal favorite....
watching all the drunk people...
okay okay thats not really my favorite,
but it was very entertaining.
My personal favorite was the CHOCOLATE fountain
and the great company to enjoy it with!


Ty rocked the suit!

Take a good look....
'cause this here is a fine (and sober) bunch
of future doctors of America!
(oh and their wives too!)
What a good lookin' group huh?!!

Addies "3" Birthday

Happy Birthday breakfast,

Daddy is SUPER at making these heart

shaped pancakes and eggs!

She's even mastered showing how
old she is with her fingers and very
excited about it too!


We celebrated her birthday at
Jumpin Jacks! Daddy took pretty much
the whole day off to spend it with Addie and
celebrate her special day. She had SO much
fun being able to RUN, JUMP, and BOUNCE
around. (something she hasn't done cooped
up in a house all winter long!)

This picture isn't the greatest but honestly
its the best one I got while we were there.
She LOVED the BIG slide and tried
all sorts of different ways to go down it.

And These....
were the motivating factor to get her
to leave Jumpin Jacks! She couldn't wait
to open presents when she got home!

Funniest part was she was most excited about
her "rice bag" then anything else!! ha ha.
Lately shes been requiring a warm rice bag in her
bed everynight to go to sleep with so I decided
to make her her very own for her birthday. It even has
an "A" on it for Addie.



Loving life in the "3" lane!


As requested, a TRAIN cake with GREEN frosting!

And the moment shes been waiting for all day........

EATING CAKE!!!

After a very BIG slice of cake and some seconds

(yes probably not the best but hey its her birthday

I just couldn't say no) it was into pajamas and

off to be we all go! We were all very tired,

yet full of sugar, and all had runny noses!

We love you Addie!

Check me out......

I'm 3!!!

"Oh what do you do in the Winter time.....

....when all the world is COLD"

Do you jump on Mom's bed,

Or roll off the edge,

onto some blankets so high?
Is this what you do?
So do I!
************************

Do you bake something bright,

to make your day light,

when the sun has gone buh-bye?
Is this what you do?
So do I!
***************************

Do you wake up to ice,

cov'ring everything in sight,

wishin Spring would soon draw nigh?
Is this what you do?
So do I!
***************************

Do you play in the snow,

with the BEST Dad you know,

when the temps are on the rise?
Is this what you do?
So do I!
*****************************

(*now i'll have this song stuck in my head the rest of the night! ha ha)
