May 16, 2010

Addisyn's First Birthday was Sunday, May 16 2010. Uncle Burns, Phil and I celebrated by taking her to lunch at Apetitos (she had some beans/rice but no margarita!) and then we took her to a local spot for her One Year Photos! Burns as usual did the most amazing job. I feel so lucky to have a brother and an uncle to Addi who will capture all her moments throughout life! Thank you Burns!

Long time no blog!

HELLLLLLOOOO!!
I have no excuse other than the last two months have been crazy busy for us! I recently got a new job, I am now the Assistant Director of the Eldorado Montessori School in Frisco, Tx. It is an amazing job and Addisyn will be joining me there in August to attend school! We are truly blessed as I think this will be a great experience for her! Phil was recently promoted within Target and has alot more storewide facility management responsibilities and hopes to move up into the District portion as soon as possible! And last but not least, in fact only the biggest part of this year so far.. Our little beans turned the big '1' ! I cannot believe my baby is not such a baby any more! I hope you enjoy some of the photos from the last two months and I promise to be more of a 'blogger' because I can only imagine all the changes and adventures in store for us in the rest of 2010!

Peek A Boo!

Addisyn has a new game whether it be by the wall, table or bathtub, she wants to play peek a boo with you! She gets so excited when you find her funny! LOL

Spring is here....well sometimes :)

The weather has been up and down, up and down, but this past Sunday we enjoyed a BEAUTIFUL day of sunshine and fun at my parents house for my Dad's 57th Birthday. We decided his birthdays start over this year since its his first year as Addi's Papa! (sounds like a plan right? I think Ill start mine over at 25 too!) Addisyn is really getting into exploring outside and she LOVED Mimi's flowers! It was a beautiful day celebrating the coolest Dad ever!!

Rockin out!

Addisyn is such a music fan! ANYTIME ANY singing or music comes on TV she whips that head around and dances to the beat and/or starts singing... Well I created a monster last week when cleaning house... I always clean house to some fun jams and she was helping me and we were 'dancing' ... I set her down and she stands there doing the arm up initiating a 'rockstar stance' - HILARIOUS! Soo.. tonight during American Idol, David Cook was jamming out to an old Rolling Stones song and she of course began dancing... and I caught it on tape for ya!

Uncle Burns 25th Birthday

Today is Burns 25th Birthday! I can't believe my little brother is getting so old! (ha ha did that just for your Burns!) I am so proud of him and I hope he knows how special he is to this family. He has an amazing heart, brilliant mind and priceless personality!

SOOOOOO to celebrate what else do the Thorntons do but cookout a massive feast of amazing food and invite the crew!!? Burns friends George, Amber and our friends Jeff, Whitney and Tyler came to enjoy Steak Fajitas, Stuffed Peppers, Whitney's amazing dip and Mom's awesome Cherry Cheesecake!!! We played Win, Lose or Draw and also played 'pass the babies!' Addisyn and Tyler were quite the hit as usual and we also had Bentley the morkie join us as well.. such a cute and well behaved dog!

Over all it was a great night with family and friends! Thank you mom and dad for always sharing your home with our friends, kids, dogs and memories!!! We are two lucky kiddos!

Addi's 9 Month pictures

We can't believe how fast time flies. Addisyn is changing so much before our very eyes and she is a very 'serious' explorer! She is all over the place and really contemplates everything she runs into.. so funny! We decided to do some 9 month pictures at a small park here in Little Elm, she loves to be outside! Now if we can just get some warmer temps for more playtime!
