*edit: It was pointed out to me, no where in this post did I explain “neighborgood”. That is how Addie says it. It’s not a typo.. but thanks for keeping tabs on me, most days I need it!*
This isn’t really about the people in our neighborhood, but Addie does mention my parents neighbors when prompted.
Another conversation in the wee morning hours from anout 2 months ago. I got recording a little late, as I had to wait for a stoplight to find my phone. Addie remembers everyone, she will most likely grow up to be one of those people that never forgets your name, and you are struggling to remember theirs. Ack! I hate when that happens. Good thing she will be around to remind me of everyones name!
Last weekend The Bennion household hosted a Punkin Carvin Partee
Unfortunately, I forgot to grab my camera until the night was over. I am pretty sure my girlfriend Heidi has some pictures from early on in the night. She blogs too, so as soon as they are up I will link over.
This was the end result of the party, 4 hours and six pumpkins later, it was a success!!
This is Jeff’s Pumpkin, REALLY impressive, lots of detail and lots of patience:
This is Jennsen’s Pumpkin. (Okay, Jeff helped) The most impressive thing… this pumpkin is only about 7 inches tall.
This is Addie’s pumpkin. It is modeled after the headless horseman. Now tell me you wouldn’t be scared if this this thing came flying at your head in the middle of the night!!
And finally, my pumpkin. In typical Michelle style, I chose Disney. The wicked queen from Snow White:
What a fun filled weekend! Jess and I both took Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday off for Addie’s birthday in order to spend as much time with her as possible. We visited the Aquarium on Thursday (her actual birthday) due to inclement weather.
On Friday, we visited the Zoo! Addie loved the birds and Meerkats.
Then came the big Birthday Bash!!
Addie got a new Wagon from Grumps…
She enjoyed her first taste of sugar in her very own strawberry shortcake!
Addie turns One!!
She loves to share!
And we were surrounded by friends and family, it couldn’t have been a better day.
