And it came to pass the itsy bitsy spider...

Things were way too quiet this morning so I walked in to Addie's room to discover that she had confiscated my scriptures and was reading them out loud. Only her version included Jesus talking to the itsy bitsy spider.

She's Got the Look

Addison's decided that she needs to dress herself, which has resulted in some pretty awesome looks. I usually try to bribe her until at least her clothes match, but then she overcompensates with her hair, jewelry, etc. After looking at the pics I have, I've realized I need to be much better about taking more. I don't have many, but here are a few:

New Addition to the Family

Well it's been while since I have posted anything on our family blog and i could not pass up such a monumental occasion for our family. Last November I gave birth to beautiful Redhead. After 1 year and 2 months of pushing, I had Honda or as we call her CBR 600, that was born at 756 pounds and 56 inches.
Now being a full fledged family man, i found it my responsibility to help my friend Bobby on the joys of familyhood.

OK for those of you who do not get it yet, i really bought a motorcycle, but it was only for medicinal reasons. I have a disease called psoriasis that requires me to get sun. Unfortunately, my face does not need the sun so I'm required to sun bath without burning my face. So...I think you know where I'm going with this, i bought the helmet for the protection from the sun that just happen to come with a motorcycle attached to it. THE END

A nice, balmy, snowless, warm Tennessee winter...

Have you ever seen a pool look so inviting?



This was after an ice storm in January. A couple of the big trees in our backyard fell over from the weight of the ice.
Addison HATED the snow. She was happy to stand back and watch everyone else play in it.


It's actually been a lot of fun having crazy weather. Everything shuts down here for even the smallest amount of snow. Plus, after seeing the crazy weather they're having in Maryland this year, this looks pathetic in comparison.

Here are a few more random pics from the last month or so. The last 3 are of her new favorite hobby, watching Barney. She cries when we shut it off and "Barney" is the first thing she says when she wakes up.

I've been telling people that I'd post some pics of the house for a few months now and somehow I've never gotten around to doing it. So finally (after living here for 4 months), here are some pictures of the inside of the house. Thankfully Cheri (who I understand from the previous post is beautiful, loving, gracious, and an incredible cook) added a post showing the outside of the house of few months ago. I'm only showing pics of the family room and kitchen since those are the only rooms that we've finished.

Our New House!

We're so excited to be living in our very own brand new house! After many many home showings, we settled on this beauty. And we couldn't have done it without the gracious and loving help from my brother Craig and his beautiful wife Cheri. They went above and beyond by letting us live with them for a month and half, making incredible meals for us, and making sure we felt right at home from the beginning! We can't say enough about their awesome family. Thanks Craig and Cheri -- you guys are the BEST!
