I haven't posted for a few months...a lot has happened since September. Addison is not only walking but she's running - she started walking shortly after the last post in September. She has so much personality and is talking tons. She will repeat anything you ask her to and it's so clear. She has 7 teeth now but still not eating very much - she's quite picky and chokes a lot. Jase loves to share everything with her so we have to keep a good eye on her when it comes to food. She loves to go outside and it happens to be one of her favorite words...always saying 'outside'. It's so cute. She does not want to be held when we are out shopping and Mommy kinda freaks out because she's so fast. Before I had kids, I was that girl who made fun of mothers who had their children on these little leach type backpacks...but having my own little girl now, I understand where these mothers were coming from. Japheth still will not let me use it when he is with me - he's one of 'those dads' apparently!!! But it's not worth losing a baby over it , so i'll use it- and with this video - the $10 purchase at the local flee market was well worth it - enjoy!!

More pictures from Redmond, Oregon...
Oregon trip for Grandpa Simpson's Retirement Party...
We love our 'Dally'...fur sure
not so ladylike...but, headed to redneck golf
Mommy and Adda @ Smiths Rock..it was so beautiful...
Uncle Rick being silly...but we love him!
Uncle Rick and Uncle Zach...picture should explain itself!
This trip was very fast but well worth it. Japheth is one of 7 children and there are 14 grandkids...Addison being the 14th! There was a professional photographer there so those pictures will be posted as soon as I get them. We had little sleep and a lot of drinkin'....Duh, we were at the Simpson household. I thank everyone for their hospitality and the opportunity to have every kid there along with every grandkid. Who knows when and if that will ever happen again. We hope to travel there again soon...most likely hunting season...
Addison's First airplane ride to Redmond, Oregon...

Addison's First Birthday
I absolutely love the first picture. This was taken on her actual birthday on Thursday Sept. 4th. Grammy made her a cupcake and she just was loving it. Then we went to Walmart when Daddy got home from school (really late). She looked like a little boy after spending most of the evening with her cousin Kayce and auntie Kristie. But she's so cute!!!! I loved her birthday cake. It was exactly what I wanted - simple and clean. We had a lot of people come from out of town for her party and we are very blessed to have such wonderful family and friends. Thanks!Addison's First Concert
The whole family went to the Sara Evans concert in Murphy's California on September 5th. It was really fun and the kids were great. We took Marcus and Kimmy too. They had a great time -Willy Nelson was in concert with her as well but we didn't stay for the entire concert of his - I think the kids were getting 'contact high'. Seriously!!!! We didn't get to spend much time with Auntie Ashley but we're headed to Oregon today for 'grandpa's' retirement party and we'll be able to spend more time letting the cousins play. Addison was very tired in this picture with her Auntie Ashley - who is Sara's sister - ...but I think she still is very pretty in her pink!

Just a few pictures from my cousin Jessica's wedding - not to mention one of my very best friends. This wedding was from July 7th, 2007 and I just viewed these pictures for the first time today. I guess I was a little busy having my little bundle of joy around the time of the first publish of these photos. I like the one of my sister pickin' at her toe jam...or fixing her shoe. Take your pick! Nonetheless, I like these pictures. Jessica was so beautiful on her wedding day, but I think she's beautiful everyday. I was seven months prego with Addison and the very next day Japheth and I got married, then flew to Mexico with my parents and my sister, Doug and baby Jase. Awww...Anniversary
July 9th, 2008 we celebrated our wedding anniversary. My parents celebrated their 31st wedding anniversary and Doug and Son
ya celebrated their 3rd wedding anniversary. Wow...who can say they celebrate the same anniversary with their parents and their only sibling? I am blessed and grateful to say that I do. We went to dinner at Cool Hand Lukes. It was so amazing. Everyone's dish was just perfect. We couldn't finish our plates and we refused free dessert - well...I take that back. Dad ordered a sunday and it was so good - we all shared it. Yum Yum. So happy to call Japheth my husband and have a wonderful marriage and family. I hope for many more wonderful years to come.

Nashville Star Audition in Burbank California
The season of Nashville Star started last night. We were so excited to watch all the amazing singers. There were about 6,000 who auditioned in Burbank where Japheth did and only a few hundred made the cut. The "Nashville Star" 'ticket' that Japheth is holding is his ticket for day two of tryouts. He made the second cut and we were very proud of him. While we were there, we saw amazing talent and were very shocked last night to see, not so much talent! We could not believe who they had picked. The black guy who is on the show was actually at Japheth's audition and we think he deserves to be there. From the moment we heard him at the audition, we knew he'd be there. Japheth also knows the three sisters - he used to sing with them in a bar in Nashville. Other than that, we were pretty much disappointed. Japheth said he will try again next year if it doesn't conflict with fishing or hunting!
Addison was so good the whole weekend. The camera followed us around a lot and we are glad that none of it was aired. 
Family photo. Not quite sure if baby is sleeping or just shy and closing her eyes. So proud of you Daddy!!! We love you and will always support your passion for singing.

Mommy didn't want me to go in this bounce house, but Daddy said YES. I had so much fun - I might talk my Mommy into getting me one for my Birthday! This was @ a family reunion we crashed today @ a park! It was fun.
I love water bottles!
I knew I would get the correct end.
I guess I'm a big cheese! Fake smile and all!
