Catching up!

So much has happened in the last couple weeks. I'm not even sure where to start. I'll just share photos and stories along the way. This first one is just too cute not to share. Troy picked flowers for every one to put behind our ears. Here's Addison showing it off:



Here are some pictures of Troy's big boy room. I got some wall "stickers" that he loves. He's very proud of them. You can also see his Mickey and Friends night light in this picture too.


These are smaller characters, but he loves them just the same. It only took him a couple minutes to figure out that Donald Duck is missing. Have I mentioned how observant he is?


Here he is showing off his new group of friends. He has Mickey, Goofy, Donald, and Daisy. Next on the list is Pluto and Daisy, which will come with our next trip to the mall. I'm not sure where he'll sleep once we have them all, but he doesn't' seem to mind.


Last weekend we decided to take advantage of the great weather and head up to M.C. for the beach. I always forget how much I love the lake and miss the beach until we're back there. Troy really enjoyed himself too. At first he stayed away from the water and was content to build sand castles on the shore, but once he gave in to his curiosity we couldn't get him out. He had a blast!! He even got down on his stomach and "swam" on the sand bar.




Addison had fun relaxing under our umbrella too.


Now that we know it was such a hit, we'll definitely be visiting again.

Addison has been a lot of fun as she's developing her personality. I can also tell I'm going to enjoy dressing my little girl. This little skort was too cute not to capture on film.


And here she is hanging out with her great-grandma "Guppie" yesterday.


Uncle Nick and Anna came in for a surprise visit from Vegas. Unfortunately, we didn't get a chance to get a picture with them. Our visit was interrupted by a surprise visit to the E.R. Yep! Troy's first trip. Troy was running around the corner, tripped on his own feet, and dove head first in to the corner of the wall. With the way he runs around a million miles an hour, I'm surprised it took this long for us to end up in the E.R. It was terrifying, but he's fine. He cried really hard the whole way there. I'm not sure if it was the pain, the blood, or the ice pack on his head that bothered him the most because once we saw a nurse he turned in to his normal flirty self. He was smiling the whole time she was wiping the blood off his face. A little numbing agent taped to his forehead and he was back to his old bouncy self. Luckily the cut was straight up and down and they were able to "glue" it back together instead of using stitches. I was not looking forward to shots in the forehead and the whole process. I think it scared all the adults far more than Troy. He seems to be doing well with it all. Here he is showing off his new war wound.

The doctor said it will be red for a while, but by the time he's 6 you'll never know it was even there. I love technology!

That's the latest from our lives. Hope every one is doing well!
