How to Eat a Banana

This is the first time that Addie has eaten a banana by herself, so you know me, I had to capture it one film.

I dont' have time to do this post right now, but I wanted to set it up. :)

Thanksgiving Weekend

Well, I finally need to make a new posting. I haven't been really bad and want to get back into the swing of things. I thought that I would tell you a little about our Thanksgiving holidays.

We went to Chris and Stan's on Thanksgiving day for dinner. We had a great time, although I had some stomach issues and didn't really enjoy dinner all that much, not that the food wasn't good, but you know. Actually Addie missed dinner because when we sat down, she became "Baddison" so she went to bed. We tried to feed her once she got up, but everyone was eating dessert so she just had a little food and a lot of dessert. :) We left around 8:30, which was good since I had to get everything together for the next day since Chris and I had to leave at 10:30 to go shopping (more in the next post).

The next morning we left for Fort Wayne around 9 a.m. and we made awesome timing since 30 is now open up the entire way, believe that was a long time in the coming. We got home around 12:30 and had some Chili for lunch, I will have to say that my Dad does make a good pot of Chili. Then Addie, Ryan and I took a nap. I had stayed up the night before shopping and Ryan and Addie were up and down all night, maybe Addie realized her Mommy wasn't there. Once we got up, we went to Grandma's Nursing home to see her and she was still eating dinner, the woman at her table was totally drinking her ensure and her coffee. Oh well! Then we went over to Aunt Gladys to see her. Bill, Arlene, Anna, and Eric were there so we visited for an hour or so. That was nice to see them, I don't think I have seen them since our wedding. We ordered Casa's on the way home for Mere, Dad, and Ryan. and we stopped at King Gyro's to pick up dinner for Mike and me. A Gyro and a small greek salad, there's not a better dinner out there. It was so good. :)

On Saturday, we got up and of course went to the Coffee Shop to grab a coffee, then we went Wedding Dress Shopping. Ryan and Addie went over and did some christmas shopping at Kohl's. Mere tried on about 8 dresses and picked out her top choice. It is absolutely beautiful. I can't wait to see it on her for real. She also got a awesome veil and headpiece. I tried on a couple of dresses, but we are going to wait until Christmas to go back and try on more. When we got home, we cooked up the rest of the food and had Thanksgiving dinner around 4. Here's a picture I got of Cici and Addie right after dinner.

After dinner, everyone went to go pick up the christmas tree and Ryan and I stayed home and finished cleaning up. Then we just hung out and watched Follow that Bird. We put Addie to bed around 8 and decided we were going to go the movies. We got there and the movie that we were going to go see was sold out. So we just walked around the mall and hung out at Barnes and Nobles looking at books. We then went home, had a snack and then went to bed.

We got up on Sunday and putzed around the house. We were downstairs packing the car and my mom brought down Addison looking like this.

She decided that she loved putting these on and taking them off. After I pried them away from her, we went to the coffee shop and then headed home. We listened to half of the Browns game on the radio. We also stopped at the Goasis and my mom was right, it was awesome. When we got home, we watched the third quarter and then decided that we needed to rake the leaves. It took about 2 hours, but we got them all done. We then finally watched the rest of the Browns game and they won. WOOHOO! It was a busy weekend but it was nice to spend it with family!

Precious

Isn't this the face of an angel. I absolutely love this picture. We took it a few weeks ago (10/26) when my grandparents were in town and I finally got it downloaded from my camera to the computer.

Past two weekends....

Last weekend (November 3-4), we had Dana and Paul over for dinner on Friday. Then on Saturday, Dana babysat for us, so that we could go to the Night at the Races. We had a ton of fun and won a little bit of money. The craziest thing was hat we won the auction horse for the second time, unfortunately we didn't win the actual race. But it's still a lot of fun to have one of the horses in the final race and only have to pay $5. Chrissy and Ryan had a ton to drink, but they had a good time. After we left the school, we went to Chelsea's for another drink. We didn't get back home until after 1 a.m. but it was really only 12 with the time change. :) On Sunday, we had tickets to the Seahawks/Browns game, like I said in the previous post it was an awesome game and we stayed till the very end.

This weekend (November 10-11), Friday night we went to Chrissy and Stan's and had pizza. This is a winter tradition. On Saturday, Ryan had to work and I had a migraine, so I laid down when Addie laid down, and didn't answer the phone, I had Ryan freaking out. I went to church at 5 and then the boys came over so that Chrissy and Stan could go out to dinner. We watched Superman 3 and it was really really good. On Sunday, Dana and I went to Columbus for Joan's baby shower. It was a nice trip down and it was fun to catch up. Ryan worked on finishing the painting in the bedroom and then when Dana and I got home, the four of us went to dinner at Applebees. When we got home, Ryan had to finish the bedroom. It was a long day. The Browns lost to the Steelers, Ryan said that they played pretty good. But they couldn't get it done in the end.

Ryan is off on vacation all week! Tomorrow is his birthday, so I think we are going to go and have Frankie's pizza up in Cleveland, since it's his favorite. I need to lose some weight this week so that I can get to my 10% before Thanksgiving.

We have a Walker.....

Well, Miss Addison has decided that she is finally going to walk. This is actually a few weeks overdue. She started walking on November 2, officially. This was the first time that she walked between two people more than two or three steps. She was walking between me and Dana and there was 6 or 7 feet in between us. She is beginning to become a little more adventurous. Now, instead of dropping and crawling, she will walk in between things, it's just a matter of time before she takes off for good. I mean she will be fifteen months old on Thursday. She really should start walking.

Let's Go Browns....

We went to the Browns/Seahawks game last night and it was AWESOME! I can't wait to see what they can continue to do.

Here's a picture of us before we left for the game!
