"Camping"

Addi had the flu on the day of Halloween. Luckily, she had no idea it was Halloween and that we had celebrated the week prior. So, Ian set up our 10x10 foot tent in our living room for the kids to play in. Addi thought "it was awesome." She watched movies and dragged her toys and brother in to play with. The funny thing about the tent, is that Ian bought it with intentions of getting me out in the wilderness to use it. This is as close to camping I am going to get anytime soon. Von is "SO BIG!"

Disneyland

We went to Disneyland a few weeks ago when Shandra was in town. It is always a hit for Addi. We went to both parks and it was a great day.  Luckily we were in between sickness for most of us.  We have been hit hard this year with EVERYTHING!  In 15 weeks, we were sick 11 of them.  Addi, Ian and I all got the flu at least once, Von and I got pink eye, I got food poisoning and bronchitis and Von and Addi both had a cold.  And then to end it, I threw out my back and could not stand up straight for almost two weeks.  Von was not a fan of Dakota.  The things we do to our kids for a picture...
The petting zoo is always a stop when we go there.  Addi loves her animals.
While the grown-ups were on a roller coaster, Addi and I rode the merry-go-round over and over again.
This was actually Von's first time on one, he was a champ.

I know this is a lot...

But it was too hard to chose. There are so many pictures, these are just a fraction of them. Our friend Jenn King took family pictures for us last weekend. We were going for a 60s look, it was a fun shoot and Jenn did a great job! There are a lot more pictures on facebook for your viewing pleasure :). Also, check out Jenn's photo blog at jennkingphoto.blogspot.com. Oh, and Richelle Divis did my hair and make-up, if anyone is in need of her services, she is great too!

Happy Halloween!

We had a Halloween Party at the Clawson's on Friday.  It was a hit.  We dressed as the Wizard of Oz and were impressed by everyone else's costumes.  
Kori the indian and Nora the mermaid.  And Ryan in the background as a 909er.  All of those from the OC know what I am talking about.  
Chelcie as Raggedy Ann and Von the lion.
Bob as Manny Rameriez (I think?) and Batman and Woody.
Shandra as Pippy Longstocking and Tristan as Curious George.
Mondo as Reno 911 and Brookie the Strawberry.
We are not quite sure what Bronson was.  I think that is an ostrich and Ian the scarecrow.
And Addi as Dorothy.  The wig did not last long, luckily I planned ahead.  

Random Pics...

I found my camera!!! It was under Addi's armoire. So here are some pictures that I just uploaded from the past month.
Addi was chosen to do a Pediped photoshoot last week.  She did great, following directions unbelievably.  She does not listen to anything we say, so it was shocking to see her cooperate so well.  
Bubba at a birthday party.  So cute.
Happy Addi.
A night at the park.

Scary.  Two Addis.
