Busy busy nights

Addie, Addie OH!

Addie is GROWING UP!  At 21 months she has ditched the baby stage and is embracing toddler-hood.  The rest of us?  We are trying to catch up!  She wants to walk and run everywhere and she is not a fan of the word "no."  She is bull headed yet alarmingly sensitive.  Everyone keeps saying "it's a girl thing."  I am not sure I am convinced of that, but it certainly is an Addison thing.  She's had a lot of firsts lately... first haircut, and first big girl bed.  We have no crib at our house anymore.  How strange is that?  After 9 years...  that ship has sailed for the Silves family.  It's a little sad, but a little not too.  I try to enjoy each and every stage we are in for all of its high points, and pray I forget the low ones.  :-)  Addison has definitely been a blessing to our family.  She will forever and always be fiercely protected and loved by all of us!  The boys dote on her and she knows she can just get them to do whatever SHE wants them to.  Not sure how long that will last, but it's funny to watch right now!

Today she is out playing in the backyard with Wyatt.  Yup, by themselves!  I am watching and listening to them, and it's hilarious.  So excited for her to enjoy her new Independence, and come running back to mom when she needs a snuggle.  

Love you baby girl!

Easter Egg Hunt - 2014

Spring Break - BREAK!?!

It was a gorgeous Spring Break Wednesday...  so off to Sports Authority we went for baseball gear, then a pit stop at the Franz bread store (a Silves boy FAVE) and then to the Lynden City Park to play in the water and on the playground.  It might still be tax season, but even Mom needs to get out and have some fun!  So glad to take advantage of these special moments with the kids - they are growing up so fast and are such a hoot to hang out with.  I might be a little biased, but I think they are each pretty amazing!
