Addison's Birthday Party 12/11/07

Addison's 3rd birthday was the best birthday yet, not so much because she had a big blow out party, but because she got all hyped up about it like 2 weeks before her actual birthday. (she still thought it was her birthday 2 weeks after too.) It's really fun to see her anticipate something... We went to BounceU (which I highly recommend for birthday parties) and had a really fun time. BounceU is this place where they have huge blow up slides, and obstacle courses.

I think that the best part about BounceU was that the planning involved for this party was close to zero. All I did was send out invitations, made a cake and showed up... AND they were having a deal going on, so it was pretty cheap too. They even cleaned up after the cake and presents were opened. Here are some pictures of the party:

Gettin' arm bands on... I think Ayden is excited!



Putting the socks on...

These two... haha

Peek-a-boo...



 

Addison's big present... (Thanks to my friend Kyna!)

Thank you Ellie, Carson, Ayden, and all of the Bustin kids for coming and thank you for the gifts. Addison was so happy all of you were there. You helped make her 3rd birthday very special.

Then there was Halloween...

Addison had a lot of fun this year dressing up. I was going to dress her up as a lady bug according to her favorite book "Ladybug Girl":

...but I waited too late to put it together. She ended up being a bumble bee... and just as cute too. We will try ladybug girl next year.

She had a party that her friend Maddie threw. She had a great time. It was so cute to see her running around and her little bumble-bee butt bouncing all around.
 
 





Then that night, we went trick or treating with Addison's friend Ellie and Ellie's sister Ainsley.

So that was Addison's Halloween... That's all for now, but I have a lot of pictures I need to catch up on posting.

Until next time...

Catching up...

So…. It’s been a while…
I got sort of frustrated with this blog. I was trying to personalize it and ad all of this fun background stuff, but it was just messing up. Nothing was centered. I think I have fixed it now...
Also... we have had a lot going on... There was halloween, Addison's birthday, and our trip to florida for Christmas. I will post pictures slowly but surely.

Now, I am three weeks into my L.A.S.T semester of nursing school! Yay! I have started precepting and I am in the PACU (post anesthesia care unit). This is a time where I basically work a full shift with a RN who has agreed to be a preceptor and teach the student what she does throughout her day. I have learned a lot so far... So that has been what is going on...

Where did I leave off? Oh… Dad’s wedding back in October:

We had a good time. Mennette was beautiful...

The “minister” was interesting….

and Addison was distracted during the ceremony… of course, but she was so beautiful in her dress.

I love my siblings...

.. and my husband :)

And my little girl... :)

That's all for now.... Until next time ...
