DON'T MESS WITH MY CORN!

Grandma Jane Day

Every Friday my mom unselfishly sets aside her day as "grandma day". This was totally her idea & it has been one of the biggest blessings in our life! It is a day that I can always schedule appointments because my mom will be here with Addalie. Not only does she watch Addalie, but she also helps me out around the house a TON! She always wants me to make a list of things that I would like her to do or to help me with. Sometimes it isn't fun stuff....but she is always ready to tackle the project at hand. This picture is perfect because it is an example of how she blesses me!! Doing my laundery with Addalie in tow. Thanks mom!! I hope that I can remember the blessings & pass them on to Addalie when the time comes.

Love you!

twins!

On the day that Addalie was born, my 2nd cousin also had a little baby boy named Samuel. (at the same hospital, with the same doctor, & it was also a scheduled C-section.) Crazy huh? Well, we haven't seen them since, but today we went to their house. They live on a small farm & had some fun animals. Addalie was in her glory! Her & Samuel played SO well together....Normally kids are afraid of Addalie because she can be a bit agressive & over-excited by things. Her playmates usually end up in tears. But not Samuel! They are 2 of a kind!

learning to eat all by myself..........

these days, Addalie's meals are ending up anywhere that is within an 8 foot range of her highchair...(not cause she is throwing food, she is desperately "trying" to get every peice into her mouth.) & afterwards we have scrub-downs as food is plastered to her hair, her armpits, between her chubby legs &......you get the picture!

so-long softball.....

Not a good picture, but i couldn't go without posting about softball since we've spent 2-3 nites a week at games since May. Scott plays for our church softball team & somehow he managed to get Doug & Todd on the team even though they don't go to our church. Their season came to a close this week. They lost in play-offs making them the 2nd place team...which is much better than they have done in previous years. This picture was taken after that big loss, & they are still smiling. We have had tons of fun going to the games on beautiful summer evenings & sometimes if we were up to it, even going to the Creamery for ice cream afterwards! & i'm pretty sure it will all happen again next year.

we LOVE tomatoes....& grow them every summer.
