Grandma Terry came to visit!!

So, this week was so exciting Jake's mom came to visit for Addi's birthday and we have just been having fun and running her all over the place. I hope we didn't wear her out too much!! We took her to our favorite place to visit in Florida, St. Augustine! We had a lot of fun we went to the Fort and walked around and then went to the Lightner Museum and toured and saw all the fun 17th and 18th century stuff and then we headed out to walk on the beach and it was pretty chilly so we didn't stay too long there.






We also went to Disney World the day after Terry arrived, it was a lot of fun but of course unbearably hot! We hit the Animal Kingdom, Magic Kingdom, and Epcot, so of course we were all pretty pooped by the end of the day, especially Terry and Jake since they had to push both Addi and me all around the park!

Addi had so much fun playing and spending time with her Grandma Terry, whenever I would come around to see what was up Addi would say "please will you leave, Mommy" she just wanted all the quality time as possible with her Grandma.
We had so much fun, and we were so grateful that Grandma Terry came to visit. Of course she spoiled us all rotten! Thank you Terry, for everything you did for us we enjoyed ever last moment, and hope you will come back soon and maybe bring Rick with you as well!! We love you and hope you had a safe trip home.

Halloween!!

Sorry, we have had an full week and I'm just now getting to posting Halloween. Addi had so much fun and was the cutest little witch ever!! In the morning we took off to the Winter Park Fall Festival where Addi got to trick or treat around to all the businesses, and it was sweltering hot!!! We burnt out quick and went home and had some lunch and cooled off and then ventured off to Rollins to the Halloween Howl to meet Addi's best friend Lucy so they could enjoy Halloween together! We didn't last very long there either it was just way too hot!! It was a new thing for us to have to cut Halloween so short because of mid 90 degree weather!!! It is just not supposed to be that hot for Halloween!! Addi still enjoyed it anyways and got enough melted candy to keep her happy for a while!!

Happy Birthday, Addi!!

It was a very Happy Birthday yesterday for my cute little girl, she had so much fun and was so happy for her Grandma Terry to be here with her. We took her out shopping during the day for some clothes and shoes and then when her daddy got home from work we had a pizza party and opened presents. She got spoiled rotten and had more presents than any one little girl should have. She has lots of people that love her and she misses everyone, Thank you for all the fun presents she loved it all.
She had been begging for a bike for her birthday, so mom and dad broke down and bought her one!


Her Grandma and Grandpa Larsen bought her the cutest little Dora tent, she loves it!
So I made Addi go on a scavenger hunt to find her present from her mom and dad, this was right at the end when she found her bike she was pretty excited!

Party!!

So Addi won't be officially 3 until Thursday, but with all the hustle and bustle with Holiday plans we had a fun birthday party for her with all her friends Saturday! She had so much fun and was definitely loving every last bit of attention! Her Grandma Terry is coming for a visit on Tuesday so we will still have a fun family party on Thursday for her but she has made so many friends here in Florida we just couldn't leave them out! Addi got way too many gifts but she absolutely loves them and has been playing all day with all of them!
We had lots of fun food!



She is definitely her fathers child she had to give everyone a hug and thank you after every present she opened! We were happy that she was so grateful, her Oma would be proud!

She got a little passionate with her thank you for her friend Nathan!!
We wanted to get a picture of all the friends at her party, we got most of the girls, but the boys didn't want to be apart of all that girly action!

It was a lot of fun and now Addi can't wait for her Grandma Terry to come so she can go to Disney, the beach and have another party!

French Addi!

Just a fun post of my cute little girl. I have had this dress for a little while and I love it, but it never gets cool enough here for her to wear it. On Sunday the temperatures just radomly dropped to 69 degrees. It was so beautiful we loved it and Addi got to wear her fun french petticoat dress to church. She thought she was pretty hot stuff, she even came home and posed for a ton of Pictures that Ian took, I haven't gotten those from him yet, so you just have to settle for a quick snap shot that I took on our way out to church!

Package!!

We got a fun Halloween package from Grandma and Grandpa Larsen!!! Thank you so much it was so much fun and as always Addi was so excited to have a package. I loved all the new Halloween Decorations they look so good in our new house, thank you!!! Addi loves her new little play suitcase, she comes out of her room with new stuff packed in it all the time and says i'm ready to go to "Hidaho."



These are Jake favorite part of his night, while he studies in the den every night there are always about two to three frogs that join him on the windowsill. They like the light from the house because it attracts all the bugs and then they just sit there and soak up the light and eat their midnight snacks!!!! It is quite entertaining to watch, I think Jake gets distracted from his studies pretty easily!

New House!

We are just loving our new house, everyday it feels more and more like home. We have very friendly neighbors that are always coming by introducing themselves and letting us use their lawnmower's and our neighbor has a whole backyard full of chickens, that reminds me of my childhood!! We feel soo much more safe where we are now and we feel like we are much closer to everything, church, Jake's school, and the freeway! So we don't have the whole house finished quite yet but most of it. Bare with me there are a lot of pictures but it is for my mom she can't come see us until after Thanksgiving and she wanted lots of picture's so she could invision the lay out of the house. This is the front view of our house, it is chocolate brown stucko with a one car garage and we have the biggest tree in the front yard, it is nice to help keep the house cool, but it scares me during Hurricane season, if even one limb came down I think it could take out our entire house or at the least one of our cars.
This is our front room, it is pretty small but we don't have much stuff so it is perfect for us!


Our dining room, we were just glad it was big enough to fit our enormous table.
The Kitchen, you can't tell from the pictures, but we have pretty high ceilings and my cabinets go clear to the ceiling, it is awesome I have so much space that I still have empty cabinets but really bad because in each of them there are four shelves and I can barely reach the first shelf so I have to have a stool to get to any of my kitchen stuff!
Yes, I know I took a picture of a hall way, that seems really stupid but I spent a whole day painting this hallway by myself. I am proud of it, so back off!
One of our bathrooms I didn't take a picture of the other one because it really is so small I couldn't get a good picture of it.

This is Addi's room, I had fun decorating it because her last room was huge and it looked like I had thrown a toy bed in a huge room and I never even got around to doing anything to it so I really wanted to decorate this time, so it would feel more like home. We also have two other rooms but the Master Bedroom is painted a horrid shiny red and we still need to paint over it and do some decorating and the baby's room is still overtaken by empty boxes from our move and we still don't have a crib yet. So I will have to take pictures of those when I finish them.


This is our fun den it was supposed to be our fun music room but my piano didn't fit in here and before I knew it our fun extra room that I was so excited for turned into Jake's man cave and I don' t have a single thing in here! I love this room because it has windows around the whole room and Florida is so green it is pretty peaceful.

This is our backyard and our screened porch. Our backyard is huge but it doesn't have anything in it, but Addi still loves just to run in the free space anyway so that's good. Our porch needs some major cleaning but we loves it because in Florida we love to sit outside in December and January it is the nicest time of year to be outside!




Sorry for all the picture's but we just love our new place and know that is hard for people to come and see us so we wanted to share with all of you!
