Accidents of all different kinds!

Before the dreaded huckleberry disaster

Addilynn had a rough weekend. She is so accident prone its a wonder we haven’t been turned in to the authorities. She got a bump on her head from the swing outside this week and bruises from daycare on her head and cheek, but this weekend was worse. She fell out of the camper and bruised her right cheek and then fell into a huckleberry bush and gashed her face. She didn’t cry much for either, but she didn’t sleep very good that night. I felt so bad for her.

We did find out that she loves huckleberries. She was eating them and picking them herself that is when the accident happened!

Tonight was her final accident and this one was a different kind. It didn’t leave any scars on her face, only emotional scars for mommy.

We have been working on potty training a little here and there this last week and she is doing ok with it as long as I’m on top of things. It is really hard though with work and our busy lifestyle so it’s not technically officially begun yet :) She made it Sunday from 3 to 7 until I forgot to take her and we were playing outside at my grandmas house. Tonight was a different story! I was running her a bath and we always put her on the potty while we are doing it. She went poo tonight and Addilynn and I were celebrating when I noticed the bath water was getting too full. I took my eyes off of her just long enough to turn the water off and guess what… Addilynn had a poo party all on her own. When I turned back around she had her poo in her hand! Oh my it was gross. Good thing I saw it before it got to her mouth because that would have been one I wouldn’t have been able to stomach!

Birthdays and more birthdays!

Last weekend was a surprise birthday for my Nanny(60) and my Stepmom (40). It was a blast and they both had no clue about the party which isn’t usually the case! They both were crying when they saw everyone it was so funny. These are some pictures from the party

Today was also Dustin’s moms birthday but I didn’t get any pictures. I made potato soup and we had cake and ice cream(from Kadee) and brownies afterward. Addilynn got to take a bath for the first time in their new tub at their new house! We really enjoy having them closer now so they can spend more time with the baby.

This weekend we are getting ready for camping again and I’m sure we will be scouting a good spot for Dustin to hunt. I might have to do the scouting to ensure we have food on the table ;)  Next weekend is the big opening weekend WOO HOO

The pictures are of Camber, Mary and Murl SInes and Addilynn (Addilynns great granparents). Buzz, Addilynn, and Camber (Addilynn’s Great Great Grandpa). The bottom two are me and my Sister and my beautiful niece Camber!

Where did summer go????

The summer has been here and gone in the blink of an eye! The nights are getting cold and the days are almost just as chilly. Today Addilynn was in a long sleeve and pants even playing outside. It makes me sad to think next summer I will have a two year old. I just know that it will come and go as fast as this one. If anyone knows how to freeze my little princess in time please let me know!

We are nearing hunting season again which is another favorite time. I used to like fall because the days slowed down, but not anymore! It doesn’t seem to matter what time of year it is, time just races by. Hopefully one of these days I will have a picture to post of Dustin’s first bow kill… but only if we are lucky. The freezer and the pocket book depend on it! I can’t wait for fall camping, driving in the woods, volleyball, football, and holidays! It seems like yesterday I was dressed as a turd at our friends Halloween party unable to drink because I had just found out we were expecting. Now look at us! We have our own little “turd.” By the way that nick name still hasn’t been changed but I swear we are working on it:)

This is a picture of Addilynn and her daddy playing on the swing at the river lot. We have been able to spend lots of time out there this summer which has been so nice because in years past it has been there but we have had no time to use it! We are so lucky to have a place like that to go and take our little girl to swim and play.

The next few weeks should settle down and I should be able to update more but until then I hope everyone has a great end of summer!
