Memorial Day Weekend 2006

We spent Saturday in Lomax with Grandma and Grandpa Webster, Uncle Daniel, Uncle Andy and Uncle Brad and Aunt Kristi. During the day Saturday, Kurt and Andy worked on Suzie. Saturday night we went to the Dani Jo's (Kurt's cousin) wedding reception. Check out the photos below - they're in order of newest to oldest!

Late Saturday night (really very early Sunday morning) we spent at the ER in Burlington, IA. Addie had a 103 temp and was vomitting. We didn't have all of our gear from home so the safest route was the ER. Turns out, she has a double ear infection. You wouldn't have known it from looking at the photos!

Sunday we went to a graduation party for a family I used to babysit, the Regan's....feeling like I'm getting older.

Monday we spent hanging out at home outside in the yard. We added some new updated photos of the house.

What were we thinking?! Before......

After.......new siding, windows, front door, landscaping. Not the same house we bought 4 years ago!

Yikes! Before......

After......new deck and landscaping, siding, windows. A major improvement!

We love the pool!

She is just so cute. Grandma/Grandpa Webster, thanks for the cute outfit from Mexico.

Addie loves the camera. It's not exactly facing the right way but she loves to hold it up to her face and say cheese!

Uncle Brad and Addie are having a drink off......Addie with her water and Brad with something a little stronger.......

Down she goes!

I beat you Uncle Brad!

Addie is a little tipsy on water and a little upset the barkeep ran out of water!

Addie loves music and loves to dance...here she is twirling!

Addie pauses from dancing for a moment with Daddy for Mom to take a quick picture.

Uncle Brad being really silly with the mini-champagne glasses!

Kurt and Andy getting Suzie ready for a new paint job (when it's 95 degrees)!!

Addie smiling and saying cheese! Hilarious!!

Vacation!!

Who doesn't love a vacation?!!! Most are usually ones that have toddlers but Addie was a champ during our 7 hour drive to Minneapolis, MN. We left May 3 and came back home May 7 (sorry we're so late in posting!). Just a few days away but just enough. We had many adventures so enjoy the next photos.

Mall of America

There is so much to do at the Mall of America in Minneapolis. We left the mall 2-days in a row and didn't buy anything. We have most of the same stores in Peoria so it wasn't that big of a deal in that regard.

We did go to Underwater Adventures where we saw lots and lots of turtles (Addie's favorite) and went through and underwater aquarium. It was very neat and something we have never seen before.

The Park at MOA was so much fun. Addie could ride a handful of rides and one of us had to join her. It was amazing how much she enjoyed the rides, some even made Mommy woozy but Addie was a trooper!

Daddy and Addie just posing next to the aquarium.

Addie is admiring the turtles!!

Mommy and Addie are fluffing up Addie's new best friend - Fuzzy.

Hot dog on a stick (aka corndog) was really a good hit despite the look on Addie's face!

Adeline waves hello to me as her and Daddy go around in the Ballon Float.

Mommy and Addie ride the school bus.

Daddy and Adeline catch the train!

Addie doesn't generally have much to do with ice cream. In Minneapolis, there was Dippin' Dots everywhere. She loved it!

Our Evening Vacation Ritual

Every night we spent a good deal of time at the pool. Addie loves the water and being tossed between Mommy and Daddy. Here is Addie trying to get her swin diaper on...not quite there huh!

Minnesota Zoo

We visited the Minnesota Zoo also. Addie just sat in awe of the dolphins!

Wisconsin

We made a stop by LaCrosse, WI to visit "Aunt" Mary and "Uncle" Chris. Really cousins but it is easier to say aunt and uncle! Here we visited Grand Dad's Bluff, the Sweet Shop and even learned how to play poker....watch out Vegas!
