List of Thanks.

I am currently reading Thursday's at Eight and in the book one of the characters in her journal starts off every entry with a current list of thanks. She will list 5 things that she is thankful for on that day.
So, I am going to try it. I am going to try and start each journal/blog entry with my current list of 5 things that I am thankful for.

Today I am thankful for....

1. A baby who can put a smile on any one's face.
While at Target this morning, Addison sang the whole time we were in the store.

2. Puppies who love to snuggle.
This morning was rough for me. Addison got up at 4:40 a.m. and just wanted to be held. So when I was laying on the couch holding her, I also had Presley snuggled up on top of Addison's feet and Mocha curled up by my feet.

3. The resource's to be a stay at home mom.

4. A mom I can talk to.
After getting into our day I was bringing Addison's breakfast to the table and it fell out of my hands and landed all over the floor, the table, Addison's high chair and pretty much everywhere. After cleaning it up, I had to call my mom, just for some support. We laughed about it and continued on our day.

5.COOLER WEATHER!!!!!!!
It's not 100 degrees out with a heat index of 120!!!!!! It might actually be nice out this week!!!!!

Trying to Climb.

Addison tried to climb the couch yesterday. So, we decided that her crib needed to be moved down to the next level. When did my little baby get so big! While I was feeding her breakfast this morning she didn't look like my newborn anymore, even her little face is changing and she is starting to look infant-ish. :(
Here she is in her crib for the last time at the highest level.

Indiana Dunes State Park 2010

We had the best time camping this past weekend. I wondered how it was going to go because this was Addison's first time camping in a tent. She did awesome! She didn't go to bed on time but that wasn't a huge issue. She got up pretty early and I lost some sleep because of it but she did so good!
She still loves her stroller and so do I. It was so easy to drag down to the beach with all her stuff.
Beautiful sunset
I figured out that I can take B/W photo's with my camera....we tested it out a little

Love her
The whole group.
She has been testing out her voice lately and we learned how to (the best I can describe it) sing. So she is making a joyful noise!

Getting tired with boo-bear
So tired on the way home

All in all it was a great trip. We had decent weather, great food, great fellowship and lots of new memories. I can't wait to do it again next year!!!

I need help!!!!

Please help me out here.....

So I have been blogging for almost a year now and every time I want to upload pictures I can only upload 5 at a time and it takes FOREVER!!!!!

Is there an easier way??? Or do I just have to suffer through this????

Thanks
frustrated (me)

Adventure Day

It was a beautiful day here yesterday. It wasn't hot or humid so we went out for an adventure. We went and walked the Chain of Rocks bridge that connects Illinois and Missouri. It is actually Old Route 66. Here is a cool tug boat going under a bridge!

Chain of Rocks bridge

Why would someone write JUMP on a bridge over a big nasty river???


She loves her stroller rides!

Now mom was just having fun.




So Big!!!




On the walk back to Illinois.
