Mud Run

Brenn and some friends of ours decided to try out their endurance and compete in a 4 mile obstacle course called The Mud Run. It was in Columbia on September 20. You could have a four person team or two person team. Brenn and Brett had a two person team. They did great and finished in the top third out of about 1100 teams. There were thousands of people there, most of which were covered in mud. It looked very challenging, but fun! I hope to try it out next year. I am missing a few really good pictures. I will post them when I get them.

Look how nice and clean he is now!

And their off!

Look how dirty he is now!

Kelly's Kids Party

I am having a Kelly's Kids party September 4. It is a drop-in from 6:00 to 7:30. If you are not familiar with Kelly's Kids, you can take a look at the website http://kellyskids.com/ They have very cute things! Let me know if you are interested in coming!

Here are some pictures of Addison on the beach. She had a blast playing in the sand and ocean. She was not afraid of the waves at all. She would be out to her waist before she would even look back. We had to stay by her side at all times. She also enjoyed chasing the birds. Every picture of Addison this year is in motion. She did not stop the entire time she was on the beach. We had such a great time this year. I haven't had that much sand in my bathing suit since I was 8 years old, but it was fun. Brenn and I went back to our childhood days this year. I guess it will be that way from now on. I can't believe I was able to get her mid-splash!
We match with our polka-dots!

I love Addison in her sailor outfit!

Addison is wore out from the day!

Here are some family pictures we took while at the beach of the Edge side. Our camera went dead for the Watson side pictures, so those will come soon when I get them from my mother-in-law. We had a difficult time getting a good picture of Addison and Alyssa. The sun bothered Alyssa and Addison had a hard time holding her.

As you can tell Addison was not into looking at the camera for pictures. This was the case the entire week. Most all the pictures were Addison in motion. She did not sit still the whole week.

Addison and Alyssa

Here are some pictures of Addison and Alyssa that I took today. Addison had just woke up!

Look at those beautiful blue eyes! This child smiles ALL the time. You just look at her and she gives you that precious grin. She is so sweet!

Alyssa is growing so fast. She is rolling over from her stomach to her back. She has come very close to rolling over from her back to stomach. Here she is having some tummy time! This has been the hardest part of keeping Alyssa. Addison wants to kiss and hug her all the time. It is so sweet, but I am always afraid she is going to fall on her or something.

Can you tell Addie just woke up?Addison found some of our socks and wanted to wear them around the house.

She is trying to pull them off and having a little trouble.

Here is Addison and her friend, Ella, relaxing in her Nana's pool. Ella is so cute in her shades! Addison has really enjoyed swimming this summer. She has done great with her swimmies, but still has to learn to keep her mouth closed. She drinks about a gallon of water every time she goes swimming.
Addie had a blast at her cousin Logan's birthday party at Monkey Joes. There was a bounce made for little ones like her!

Freedom Weekend

Ok, so I know it has been a while. I have had a very busy summer. I have kept Alyssa most of the summer and with two little ones to care for, there is not much time for anything else. I have really been enjoying my time with Addison and Alyssa. Alyssa is such a good baby and Addison is not at all jealous of her, so it has been fun. Anyway, I guess I need to catch you all up on all our summer activities and pictures.

We went to Freedom Weekend about a month ago and Addison really loved the balloons. The night before, we chased the balloons around Simpsonville with some friends of ours. Addie enjoyed it so much, that we decided to take her the next day. Here are the balloons blowing up and lifting off.
Addie likes to try on her daddy's hats!
