It was more than just a party for me.

This last weekend we hosted a baby shower for some friends. I had a blast planning and preparing for the party. Through it all I realized how much I miss the sense of accomplishment that I get after completing a project. I love being a stay at home mom and I'm learning to see the little accomplishments she and I make every day. Like the sweet spirit that is developing inside her or the small ways she is learning to obey. I love this job of being her mom and I wouldn't trade it for anything!! Okay, on to the party pictures.

--BEWARE, there are a lot of pictures :) --

B is for BENNETT!

The guests signed a soccer ball as the sign-in sheet. And the party favors were 'Toilet Targets'.

All the food & drinks were labelled "B is for _____ " in honor of baby Bennett.

Pucker up

Who taught her this?

Can I blame it on summer?

I would like to blame my lack of blogging on the summer, but I can't. I often forget and when I do remember I'm chasing Addyson. So here we are 6 months later...and this is what you've missed.

A Trip to Boerne...

To see her G-Daddy

and her Gigi.

We went to a Easter egg hunt with some friends...

spent some time with Gramma Di & cousin Stratton...

and...Addyson turned 1!!!!

"Mom! It's all over?"

We took a family vacation to visit our friends in Sheffield, England. This was Addyson's 1st plane ride and she did AMAZING!!

While we were there we got to introduce Addyson to ASK, our favorite date night spot!

When we lived in England, Greg spent most days playing basketball with these guys. It was so great to watch him playing again!

And we also spent a lot of time with Kelley, Kristy, and Hannah.

Lastly, we spent some time in London.

Okay, this post is getting out of control, but we are almost done..this is from the 4th of July

The McGinnis' came to Waco and Addyson had so much fun playing with Maddie & Aiden.

Of course we always have fun with Daddy


And lastly, what would I do without my little helper...
