Addison's Birthday Weekend

We had a lot of fun this past weekend celebrating Addison's first birthday party. My parents flew in Friday morning and Kevin's family arrived on Friday night. We spent all day Saturday preparing for it and doing yard work. Everything turned out so well and we were so thankful that so many people got to come.

Here is Addison loving on her cousin Jackson. Addison loves all dogs.

They did such a good job planting my flower bed. Thanks yall.

Addison didn't care to much for the birthday cake but she loved the homemade ice cream.
Maybe next year she will just dive in.



Here is Addison getting her stylish sunglasses for the summertime.
Her friends, Emry and Micah, also helped her enjoy her birthday!
Kevin wanted to plant a tree for her on her birthday so every year we can watch it grow.
Here is her with the tree and of course Duke is always trying to get in the picture.

Thanks everyone for making her birthday so special. I can't believe how fast a year has gone by. These next few weeks are very busy for us. Kevin is gone most of the time with conventions, I am working a lot at the hospital, and then Addison and I fly out to Texas next Thursday for 10 days. Momma Rose and Grandaddy are coming again this weekend to help babysit for me. Aunt Maleah stayed with her today while I worked. They had a great time. She is getting closer and closer to walking daily. Hopefully soon she will learn that her knees do bend!! It is so funny to watch her walk so stiff legged. Tonight she taught herself how to turn her walker around and get out of road blocks. She would go into a corner and turn it around. She is definately growing up way to fast. Tomorrow is her last day at her current babysitter's house. They are moving and Addison will really miss Emry.
