May has come and gone...

It's June 6th. Where did the month of May go? We were busying with Tball and a few road trips. The first of the trips was to surprise my Mom on Mother's Day we pulled it off arriving at her doorstep while B had her looking for a delivery on the front porch.

Addy and I went to the Tour of California with her Fairy Godmothers. We had a blast!

Addy and Michelle @ the Shack Bus

On the morning before the San Jose stage we basically stalked the Radio Shack team.

We had a pretty successful stalking managing to get some autographs and photos.

Addy and Court at the Finish Line in Santa Cruz

We arrived so early that we were able to walk across the finish line.

We also gathered up lots of goodies including some cool Shack T-shirts.

Addy on Podium (look closely her shirt says "Max will you marry me?")

We are making a pitch for Addy to marry Lance's son Max. So Court made her a shirt to wear.

We squeezed in another trip to Prunedale to celebrate Paul's First Birthday on the weekend before Memorial Day. On Memorial Day, we headed to San Diego for one of Jeff's buddy's wedding. B had a good week at school(he has a little bit of spring fever, so the positive rewards are in full swing.) and Seaworld was his reward.

The Shark Tunnel

The picture was taken after B and I ran the wrong way on the tunnel to find Addy and Jeffy but before B freaked out because I lifted him up to see the sharks a little bit closer.

Addy and I watching Shamu

Addy and I sat on the edge of the Splash Zone while the boys went for it.

Watching Shamu in the tank before the show.

The Addition probably needs it own post. So I will get on that some time this week. But things are moving along. Some days it seems like it will never be finished and then some days I think oh my goodness I can't believe it is gonna be done soon. And the fun is starting to begin...picking paint colors, flooring options:)

Addy Loves to Eat!

Here are the pictures to prove it...

Cereal for the first time.

Cereal Round 2!

PEAS!

Carrots!

Bananas!

Puff Monster!

Yay Addy!

You want some?!

Getting impatient...

Well, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel or I say the finish to the addition. Now, it is all about the budget, priorities, and choices. Here are some pics from the beginning to catch you up to speed

Now that I am uploading these pictures, I realize we did a terrible job of chronicling the progress of the addition. It is a good thing that my mom takes pictures of the kids because otherwise all they would have is camera phone pictures. Good thing the Driod has an 8 megapixel camera. So back to the house, the pictures above were the beginning stages.

We are now at the paint and flooring stage. The pictures from everything in between seem to be what's missing. (the windows and doors, the paper and lath, the different layers of stucco, the drywall, the tape, the texture, the removing of the wall) And what couldn't be captured in pictures the many discussions Jeffrey and I have had about the addition, and as of late paint colors and types of flooring. The paint has been settled. Huge thanks to my dad for coming down.

Up next, the yard, the flooring, and a little spring cleaning in the rest of the house.

A Catch-up Post...A Busy April!

April was a busy month. I don't we were home all together on any of the weekends. We were enjoying our new found freedom of not having a softball schedule to abid by.

Addy's First Easter Egg Hunt

Skyline Crew and Friends @Refugio

Our neighbors Ann and Cesar got engaged. They are telling B and I can't remember his exact words but it was classic B.

Jeff's birthday (and Cesar's too) while Addy and I were in AZ at Terra's wedding.

The Cal Poly and Prunedale Girls at Terra's Wedding. I should have been middle. You can take the girl out of Prunedale but you can't take Prunedale out of the girl.

The New Family Rivalry...like we need more to argue about. And B is so caught in the middle about this one. But I think I have pulled him back from the darkside.

The Big Sur Relay

It is almost April...

Wow! Where have the first 3 months of the year gone? 2010 is a quarter of the way over. Things seemed to be pretty hectic around, it might just be the construction. We are getting closer...hopefully today the rough plumbing, mechanical and shear walls pass inspection. Then next is stucco and drywall, i think. I can't keep track these days.

We are busy with Tball. Jeffrey is coaching and I am trying very hard not to be a backseat driver. Ok, I am totally a backseat driver. I just can't help myself. I know it is only Tball. Here's some pics

Addy is 6 months and some change. She has quite the little personality and a temper. She is a happy baby about 95% but when you make her mad she gets real mad real fast. (No comments from the peanut gallery.) Most of the time these days making her consists of taking her away for her momma or trying lay her down for a nap or bedtime. The other 95% loves to reach for everything, and so close to being on the move. She loves to be entertained, the louder and the crazier the better. Here are a couple of pics from her 6 month photo shot with Grandma.

She has started rice cereal. I even made her some baby food from fresh veggies that we got at our weekly trip to farmer's market. But something is causing rumblies in her tummy. So we are goinig to just go back to the cereal for a few days. Here is the video of her first cereal meal.

We had a busy April ahead. Camping for Easter with the nieghborhood, Terra's Wedding, Jeffrey's Bday, more Tball, and the Big Sur Relay.

A Quick Update!

Hi everyone!  Our addition is moving right along.  We have a new roof.  And the rooms are framed.  Next step plumbing and electrical.  

Addy is rolling over and it is becoming a mode of getting where she needs to.  She is also having a bit of frustration issues because she sees what she wants isn't quite sure how to get there.  She enjoys her time in her exersaucer.

B has been attending a soccer camp once a week.  He enjoys the running around and I enjoy that he gets some of his energy out.  But he also like to stay out of the "beehive" and chooses to play goalie every now and then.  B has also get a new loft bed.

Sorry for the short post but I figured it has been awhile so I better update.

It was been a few weeks....

Hi everyone!  It has been a few weeks.  Things have been a little hectic around here.  So I will do my best to catch ya'all up.  First off, here are the newest pictures from the addition.  Things are moving right along. And we survived the rain the biggest issue was the lack of work for the week.

At beginning of the month we had Addysen baptized.  It was a very personal ceremony made possible by some of our dearest friends.  Thank you so much to Rick and Debbie for getting everything coordinated and hosting lunch.  Thank you to everyone shared the day with us and all the amazing pictures you took.  We are very blessed to have all of you in our lives.

B is study hard in school these days and has joined a homework club after school.  He is eager to learn and be the best student possible.  He has also started a soccer camp.  Chess club has ended and he anxious for the next session to start.  His chess instructor says that he like to attack!

Addy is developing quite the personality these days.  She is rolling over, trying really hard to make raspberries, and loves to be entertained by her brother.

Happy February to everyone!
