Happy Birthday Addison!


HAPPY BIRTHDAY ADDISON!!

Today, our passionate, sassy, funny, loving girl turns 5 years old.  FIVE!

WHAT?!

It seems like just yesterday that she was our sweet little early Christmas present, just a couple days after Thanksgiving, and just two days after Marty's birthday.  People may say she didn't want to crash Marty's birthday...but I think she wanted to have a day of her own to have the spotlight on her.  She was born in Texas, and has had a larger than life personality from the beginning.

She has grown into such an amazing girl.  She stretches and pushes me further than any of our other kids, but she gives me so much as well.  We just couldn't imagine our life without her.

Happy Birthday sweet girl!

Kid Funnies!

I've been trying to remember to write down kid funnies...because they're some of my favorite posts to go back and read.  But I haven't been great...I do, however, have a few gems to share!  
YAY FOR FUNNY KIDS!  
Enjoy!!

 

Claire came out of her room one night to tattle on Addison...what she had to tell us about made me fall over laughing:  "Addison climbed up into my bed, and all seriously said to me 'Claire, I'll go back to bed by myself in just a minute, but this is really important.  Do you ever dream about a purple pony named bacon?'"  Addison asks the tough questions.

****************************************

While scrubbing Addison's hair with shampoo:
Addison: Let me do it! Let me! Let me! Let me! 
Me: Ok, you can finish now. 
Addison: [frustrated] Mom, didn't I tell you to let me do it? 
Me: Yes, you did. 
Addison: You should really listen better.

Ok mother.



Claire: Cute hair Addison, you're getting a China braid!
Me:  A China braid?  What's a China braid?
Claire:  That braid you're doing.
Me:  That's called a french braid.
Claire:  Oh...right...french braid.  I always get those two mixed up.

****************************************

Claire asked me what we were having for dinner, and I told her we were having Red Chicken.  She says, "Well...I don't know what red tastes like, but I LOVE chicken!"

****************************************

Claire: What's that place?
Me:  It's a miniature golf course.
Claire:  Ohhh.....so is that where midgets golf?




Marty:  Hey, peace out homey.
Molly: [indistinguishable muttering]
Marty:  No, say peace
Molly:  peez
Marty: out
Molly: ou
Marty:  Homey
Molly: Homey
Marty:  Peace out homey
Molly: [pointing at front door] get out



Brielle:  We could maybe go to Knott’s Berry Farm sometime. 
Claire:  I want to go to Disney land though!
Brielle:  Well, Knott’s Berry Farm isn't really a farm, it's an amusement park.
Claire:  Well, I am not amused.


Hopefully you enjoyed that short little burst of funny...
At least Brody thinks his sisters are HILARIOUS!

Mustache Madness

The girls were so excited to get a little surprise card in the mail from Grandpa and Grandma Ridges.  It was a fun Halloween card with these great mustache stickers!  The girls could hardly wait to put them on and have some fun!


Brody...seriously, cutest boy EVER!  He wasn't impressed by the moustaches, but didn't mind having one on either.

The girls all thought it was GREAT fun!

 More pictures of Brody.  It started cracking us up because of the drool...he looked like a little monster. 


Thanks Grandpa and Grandma!
