We went to my Dad's yesterday to have a day on the farm! The kids loved it! Every part of it, Noah decided that he needed to relax a little while we had a hayride!

Addy graduated from Preschool last week, she was so excited! Her and her friend Crosby actually got to have a real ceremony with diplomas and everything, she even moved her tassle from one side to the other! She starts Kindergarten in August! Boo Hoo!

Addy had a slumber party with all of her friends for her birthday and we all had SO much fun! The next day she had a small get together at Mom's! Here are some pictures of the weekend!

We Decorated the outside of my house this past weekend. I have done so much to the inside and I was so happy to get something done with the outside. It is great out there! Thanks Mom!

Addy is finally sleeping in her own bed again!

This is the hotel that we stayed at before our cruise!

When Chad came in town, he stayed at a hotel that had a swimming pool!

Kellie bought me the best gift EVER for Christmas, she knew that I was dying to see Rascal Flatts but that financially, it would be very irresponsible of me to go out and spend money on the tickets. I was SHOCKED when I opened the tickets at Christmas from her! We had the best time together, it was just us two and I would not have asked that it been anyone else! Thanks so much Kellie! Look how close we were!!

Addy's Classroom!

I have been trying to put these pictures up forever, but I lost my USB for a long time and have finally found it. This is what Addy got for Christmas from Aunt Tellie and I. She is so much into craftsy stuff so we redid her playroom to be a classroom! You will see in one of the pictures where we had taken everything out of the room so that we could paint it. Don't ask me where all that stuff went because I have NO CLUE!

Fashion Show!

Addy wanted to have a fashion show the other night when I was in the hospital so Kellie put all kinds of outfits together! The pictures turned out so cute!

LOOK HOW LONG HER HAIR IS GETTING!! I BLOWDRYED IT AND FLIPPED IT OUT THE OTHER NIGHT AND I WAS AMAZED! IT LOOKS EVEN LONGER WHEN I TAKE THE CHI TO IT!

Addy wrote her letter to Santa last night, we ended up filling the entire page so you can imagine how long it took, but she is getting very good at writing! That is all she wants to do anymore is write in her "Hannah Montana" diary! No one can read it either!

These are halloween pictures, Addy wanted to be a scary witch this year, but she said absolutely no hairy wart! We had alot of fun that night and who could have asked for better weather!

Pumpkin Carving

Chad was in town this weekend, and we all carved pumpkins last night, it was alot of fun. Addy has done this every year, but I guess she does not remember because she thought it was so gross! We ended up carving three pumpkins, everyone thought that I was going to cut my finger off, so after doing two pumpkins, we let Kellie take over!

I have a video, and tried uploading it, but for some reason it tried to upload for about two hours and would not do anything so I will try agin later!

Addy and I had a garage sale at the house a couple of weekends ago! I know, it is huge! (alot of it is Mandy's) Addy had her own lemonade stand though, and she was so cute! She sold quite a few cups, and the little thing was so proud! I can say that I was a little proud too!

Chad and I went to St. Louis this past weekend to visit my family and also to go see some things! We had so much fun! We got to go to my favorite pizza place, my aunt suprised me with a "gooey butter cake" (which was great, I had my co-workers fighting over the last little bit!)
When we went down down, we went to the arch, the Budwieser tour (which was very neat!) October Fest down there and then a haunted house! Could not have asked for a better weekend!

Picture with the famous "Joe Baccardi" My favorite pizza place in St. Louis!

Chad stepped in cow "poop", you can't really see it here but it was hilarious!
We went downtown the next day and had so much fun!

I recieved this email from a girl that I used to work with from that bank that was from our Chillicothe branch, it amazed me how many caring people we have in the world that would take the time to give either their prayers or some kind of help to this family. The lady that I work with is actually neighbors with this people and she said that this was just devastating! Please everyone keep this family in their prayers!
