Splash Park

We took Addie to the splash park for the first time today. It took her a little while to warm up, but then she loved it! 

Hey...where'd the water go?

I think it comes out of this thing...

Daddy says if I sit on this thing the water will come back...

Whoa! The water's back! (Wish I could have seen the look on her face!)

Shaving Cream

I told Addie we were going to the splash park today as soon as Daddy got home from giving blood. So we put on her swimsuit, put on the sunscreen and waited, and waited. The blood donation place is SO slow! 

We decided to fill the time by playing in shaving cream, which made waiting much more fun! 

She didn't want to take her swimsuit off, so she played in the shaving cream with it on...and then I hosed her off afterward. 

Addie Loves

Addie has been loving this house lately...and her toy vacuum, she takes her toy vacuum everywhere!

Ding, Dong. Who is it? It's you!

I LOVE these two pictures of Addie...I just wish they weren't blurry! That's what happens when I try to do anything with my camera besides auto!

What does a chick say?

Lynda moved down to the dorms at the University of Arizona a few weeks ago. My aunt and uncle were suffering from partially empty nest syndrome, so they decided to fill their nest with hens so they can get fresh eggs.

They have six cute little chicks that we went to go visit Monday night.

I was very brave and knelt on a tall chair while they let the chicks roam free so Addie could meet them. It should be noted that every time Addie looked at me, I put on my very best calm, happy face. When she wasn't looking at me, I would jump every time my foot touched the back of my other leg thinking a chick and found its way onto my stool!

At first, Addie thought the chicks were a bit freaky... 

But, she warmed up to them by the time we were done. 

 

It's a good thing Daddy is brave, because there is no way, you would have seen me down on the floor holding the chicks!

Baptisms

Our nieces Adaly and Xujey were baptized on the same day in August. We enjoyed being there for their special day!

The baptism girls

(whoever let me leave the house looking like this should be shot!)

The cake! 

Mommy, Mommy, Mommy

Addie recently learned how to say Mommy. I LOVE it! :-)

Heard all day long at my house:

Addie - "Mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy."

Me - "What Addie?

Addie - "Mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy."

Me - "Addie, what sweetheart?"

Addie - "Mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy."

Me - "Addie, what?"

Addie - "Mommy, mommy, mommy."

She knows how to say dog (it comes out more like dah), Dada, uh oh, and oh no. None of which really make sense after "Mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy," so she just keeps saying mommy and hoping I'll figure out what she wants!

One of These Things is Not Like the Other

The Children's Museum had this really cool felt wall with all sorts of Velcro pieces to attach to it. They even had assorted stuffed animal parts that you could Velcro to the wall to make a new animal. There were faces, feet, horns, legs, ears etc. 

My question to you - what exactly is the following stuffed animal body part supposed to be?
