Blog is broken!

As you can see my blog is being dumb. I have researched and have yet to find a solution on how to fix this. For the time being I am just waiting to see if blogger fixes itself. If by the end of the September, it is not back up, I will be making a new one! Be patient with me!!!

Fun times

One of my New Years resolutions was to spend more time taking Addy to fun places. Here are just some of the few places we have gone recently. Can't wait for summer so we can get out even more.

Happy New Year

For New Years we decided to get away for the weekend to the family condo in Midway. We had a fantastic time but came home to a pretty nasty surprise. While we were up in Midway we watched the temps drop below 0 but didn't think much of it. Until I walked into the house and down into the basement to the sound of a waterfall. The pipes in Addy's room had burst. Addy was very upset. We walked into her room and she gasped and said " My room is broken" It was very challenging for me to go through such a big loss of memories and keep sakes too. The damage was very bad and we ended up moving upstairs with my very patient and loving inlaws. It took them a month and a half to fix the 30,000$ worth of damage, but in the end we got a nicer basement than we began with so it worked out for everyones behalf. Here are just a few pictures of the damage.

Christmas 2010

I am really behind... again... So, bear with me as I get caught up. I wanted to post a few pictures of Christmas. We had a great time! I love seeing Addy's face as she opens her gifts! Santa really loved her this year!

The penguins tail

I had to get this down so that we wouldn't forget about it!

I was out and about the other day and my mother in law Trish was watching Addy. Trish has this Christmas decoration that Addy loves! It is a snowman and two penguins. They sing Rocking around the Christmas tree and move around. One Penguin shakes the bell in it's hand and one penguin shakes the bell on his tail. Addy pushes the button and that's when the dancing begins. She shakes her body back and forth and just loves it!

So, Trish and my brother in law Robby were cheering her on and told her to shake her tail like the penguin. Robby asked her " Does Addy have a tail?" and Addy quickly responded..... " No, but daddy does!"

Bwahahahahahahahaha! I guess it's time for Jeff to stop showering with Addy!!

Halloween

So, as you all have figured out on your own, I am a horrible blogger. It's not that I don't have anything to blog about, I just plain forget about it! I keep telling myself that I am going to get caught up from summer, but I need to be real with myself and realize that it is just not gonna happen! So, rather than keep putting it off, I am going to start new from here... So enjoy a few pics from Halloween!

This year I was a devil (thrown together last min) Addy was the cutest Jazz cheerleader EVER, and Jeff was some awesome dude from the 70's. We haven't decided who though- any idea's?!?

I just love this girl!

Every year we get together with Jeff's side of the family and carve pumpkins. Now that the kids are old enough to know what is going on it is so much fun cause they can help us decide how to decorate them and the faces to choose. That is exactly why Addy has one big eye, and one small eye!! haha! It was Scotty ( my cute nephew) who decided to put leaves on them. It was a great touch!!! Here are all the kids showing off their pumpkins and my awesome sister in law... not sure what she is doing! haha!

Happy Birthday Monkey!

Tomorrow we will celebrate an amazing and important day in our lives. It is the day that we welcomed our amazing little Addison Michelle Gray into the world. It is a day that will always be important to my heart, because it completed a part of me that was missing something. Addy, our amazing daughter is turning 2 years old. Some of you may think " Who cares" and most of you will remember the same exact feeling. Yet, I still don't know how to feel. My baby is growing up too fast!!! I reflect back on the last two years, and I wouldn't trade them for anything. I tear up when I think about what an amazing and special little girl we have, and I can't wait to see what the next 2 years has to bring.

Addy, I love you baby! You are the biggest blessing in my life, and I thank God for you every day! Thank you for making me the proudest Mommy out there! I love you monkey!

Here are a few- ok, almost all of the shots that my friend Samantha took for me for Addy's two year pictures. She is an AMAZING photographer and she is moving in August, so if you like her stuff get in touch with her soon!!! http://samanthastanton.com/

She did a great job, and Addy looked cute as ever! Enjoy!!!
