Back to Reality...

The past week was spent enjoying the summer sun at Seeley Lake. We have a family reunion there every year with Justin's family. The hardest part of the lake is coming back from it. I guess that goes with every vacation, reality is no fun. We had a great time and I think Addison will agree. She got to play in the water, go on four wheeler rides, go on a boat, ate at least 5 otter pops a day (her favorite) and was surrounded by cousins. Like her dad, the Seeley Lake reunion is her heaven.

Shout Out To Da Man...

So the past couple of days I've been sick. Just the normal sore throat runny nose deal. However, add to that the joys of being pregnant i.e heartburn, increased body temperature, uncomfortable big belly, and you have yourself a recipe for fun. So I am just waiting for this to run it's course. Fortunately I am married to Justin who came home yesterday and before I even asked for help he started cleaning the messy apartment and whisked Addie off to the park.

Today I decided I had enough of trying to grow Addie's hair out. Luckily her hair is curly so the flaws of my haircutting skills are not visible.

And a big thanks to our friends Mike and Katie for once again letting us in on their FREE fun entertainment nights. Last Saturday we went to Missoula's outdoor water park and had a blast. I was impressed with the water park. It had a great lazy river and a fun kids area. I'm sure the Boulters will love that I posted this picture :)

Fun with Firecrackers

This fourth of July we spent in Helena, MT with Justin's brothers family. Good times were had at the other Winwards. The girls loved the firecrackers, we brewed up some homemade rootbeer and relaxed (well except for the install that Justin helped his brother with that lasted until 5:00am).

In June we had the Winward family reunion in Pocatello. We had some fun going to a water park and seeing family we hadn't seen in a long while.

Addie Packed & Ready for Vacation

When we got back form our Utah and Pocatello trip much had been done on our house. The most exciting part was the painting of the inside and out. I am pleased with both. Only a few more weeks and hello AIR CONDITIONING!! We've been going to our new house alot. We have a canal in our backyard with clear COLD water. Addie throws rocks into the canal while Justin and I wade in it. The canal might be one of my favorite things about our land.

Terrible Twos Here We Come...

Yesterday was Addies birthday. The big 2 and boy did I get an introduction into what the next year will be like. She started the day fine. She woke up to a room full of balloons and then ate balloon shaped pancakes (okay they were really just circles).












We went to a water park with some friends, but after that it was evil Addie. I've never seen her be so mean. We had plans to go to the train (it's in our mall), but she was fussy so, I decided we would come home for a nap. She fought the nap until 4:00 and I mean FOUGHT! When she woke up she was the same meanie, but with more energy. We couldn't get her to eat anything, so we just went straight to the cake. She picked out sponge bob decorations and wanted her cake blue (everything is either blue or pink).

We ended the night by watching Monsters Inc (thank you grandma it's now her favortie show) and then I finally put her to sleep at 10:30 (bedtime is usually around 8:30). You gotta laugh or cry right? And sometimes you do both! Luckily evil Addie left the building and today it has been normal Addie.
