The past couple of days I showed Addyson pictures of her when she was a baby for the first time and video of her from the time she was born up until almost a year old and she loves to watch it now. I never showed her the pictures or video before but I decided I would since she is so obsessed with babies I thought she would like to look at herself. She sits glued in front of the tv watching. There will be many more years to come that she can watch of herself and her big sissy.

Aubryn's Powderpuff Pinewood Derby Race

Sat., March 7 was Aubryn's second Powderpuff Pinewood Derby with the Girl Scouts and she won first place! Fastest car on the track!!! Yeah! Last year she came in second to last and Greg wasn't going to let that happen again! Greg worked really hard on her car this year. I think this event is more for the dads than the girls. The dads get serious about this and of course they all want to win. Greg talked about their victory for 2 days and drove us all crazy. Aubryn said to Greg, "Daddy I don't mean to hurt your fellings but you are being really annoying" because he kept saying, "Who got 1st place?", "Who had the fastest car on the track?" etc... We'll see if she can hold the title next year.

Trip To Dallas

Friday, February 13 after Aubryn's Valentine party at school me and the girls headed to Dallas. I was a little nervous about going alone but I was fine. I had done it before with Aubryn many times but never with both of them by myself.

For Valentine's Day we went to the American Girl Store and Bistro where we shopped and had dinner. That morning as part of their Valentine gift the girls each got a Valentine's dress for their dolls to wear to dinner. We shopped and got a few things for their babies and then we had dinner. The girls really enjoyed it! I did too!

Sunday, 2/15, We met Aubryn's family at Amazing Jakes for lunch and stayed there all day. The kids had a blast riding rides and playing games. Aubryn finally climbed the rock wall and did pretty good. She wouldn't go all the way to the top though. Addyson really enjoyed playing with Jaci. It was nice for Aubryn to get to see her brother and cousins. (Aunts and Uncles too).

Monday we headed home and again it was a great trip going back home. We are planning on going again over Spring Break.

Addyson's 1st Movie

On February 7, Gran, Gramps, Aubryn, Mommy, and Addyson went to see Hotel For Dogs. It was Addyson's first time to go to the movies except for when she was pretty little we took her with us to see Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium which she slept through. Anyways, it was not the best experience! Addyson went back and forth between my lap and Gran and Gramps, she wouldn't be still. A sucker kept her still for a minute. She kept dropping her passy and her sippy cup on the floor. Yes, we were one of "those" people who bring their wild kid to the movie. No, really she wasn't that bad. I'm sure the people sitting in front of us weren't too happy. Addyson was very restless which I was afraid of because she did not get a nap that day. I knew she would either fall asleep during the movie or be restless because she was so tired. I was hoping that she would really get into the movie and enjoy the whole experience but she really didn't. Oh well, we will wait a while before we try again or make sure she has a nap before we try it again.
