Happy 3rd Birthday to Addelyn!!!!

Our precious little Addelyn turned 3 on June 10th. Adde is the best! She is such a happy little girls-she goes to sleep happy, wakes up happy and has a smile on her face 99% of the time-she is such a blessing to us and has made the past 3 years a crazy and wonderful adventure for us! We love you sweet girl!!

She LOVES any birthday-so she was super excited about her own. We celebrated for almost a week-so I'll slowly blog on all of the celebrations! :) Here are a few pictures from her birthday morning and opening presents.

A couple of weeks ago when we were getting the house ready to sell-I took a fw pictures of the kiddos in their rooms before their names came down...I thought theses were super cute!

the "secret" trip to OK and AR

The beginning of May is when we made our "secret" trip to OK and AR for 2 different job interviews. It was the hardest secret to keep from everyone...family included! Matt and Laura (Eric's brother and his wife) knew along with a couple of people from Washington, but that was about it. Addelyn stayed with her favorite Miss Marcia and Payne tagged along with us! :) We left Friday morning and got home Sunday afternoon-super fast trip...but we went alot of places. We hardly got to see Matt, Laura and Blakely (note, no pictures) but we enjoyed every second of the time we got to see them-and soon we'll see them much more often-so exciting! Here are a few pictures from the fast trip!
