Addy's 1st Phil-er...Cubs-er...Phillies Game

Daddy pulls for the Phillies (because my Orioles stink) and Mommy roots for the Cubs. What's a girl to do?

The view was great.

Nice face, Daddy. Front row was nice.
Phillies won 5-3. Manda could still smile about it.

Amanda and Addy after the game. Note the Phils congratulating each other. Thought I'd point that out (Larry and Derek).

We went with Bryant and Brianna, now in Wisconsin. Why would anyone want to live in Wisconsin? Really!

Work It Addy! Work the Camera!

Ok Addy, we're gonna' take some pics in this bonnet. Ready?

No, Addy! Let go of the camera!

Up here, Addy! Stop looking at your feet!


No, don't look at Mommy, look at Daddy! Over here, Sweety!

Oh, cute! Amanda, fix her bonnet. I can't see her other eye.

Ok, Addy, now give us the 'I'm not interested' look. Fabulous!

Ok, now right at the camera! Perfect!

Oh, now stick your tounge out and smile!

Now, a full body shot! Hey! Can't we get some pants on this kid? Work with me people!

Oh great. Just great! She found her feet again. That's a wrap.

Had to Do It

I guess J thought this toy looked too fun to pass up. Funny thing is, he got stuck.

Our little boy. Can you tell that Daddy dressed Addison? She looks good in the midnight green.

Amanda's Trip to Chicago and Wisconsin

Relaxing on the chair with cousin Joshua.

This one is too funny. A thorn between two roses.

Impossible to get all three to look at the camera at the same time. We have about ten different versions of this one.

Addison loved her... um... what do you call these things? Oh yeah, it's a keeps-them-quiet-but-it's-noisy-light-flashing-practice-using-the-legs-walker-chair.

Grandma is playing keep-away from Addy. Not nice Grandma!

Who said men can't multi-task?

Addison and Great-Grandma Lucy. This one's a keeper.

Great-Grandpa Len's turn.

Sorry for the blurryness (Manda's fault). Apparently, Addison swung her arm and hit Joshua in the eye, which he didn't appreciate too much. Caleb's got the 'Oh brother!' look going.

Happy Easter!

Mommy and Addy on Easter - waiting for Daddy to get home from work (ugh).

Addy spent some time with Grandpa too.

I got home in time for a family Easter pic.

Grandma and Grandpa got a surprise when they found their Easter basket. Good thing they found it too. It spent about an hour hidden in the dryer.

Umm... I really don't have a caption for this one.

My Girl Addy

Big Girl! We propped her up of course, but she she gets a kick out of 'standing'.

She gets a kick out of Daddy singing 'My Girl' too.

Ok, I remember cousin Kylie making the cutest pouty face before she cried. Addy's got the look down pat, so it must be a Boyd trait. We caught the tail end of the face here.

All smiles after church.

Happy Early Easter! The Pottery Barn had a 'Match the Pet to the Owner' contest. Amanda entered our little bunny.

Addison is fascinated with her hands. She stares at them, and she eats them. She can stick he entire hand in her mouth. We caught her in the act here.

Mommy and Addy taking a nap. Too cute.

Addison (fat rolls and all) relaxing as Molly keeps watch. Molly's very protective.

The shirt says 'Don't Laugh, My Daddy Dressed Me." What? Pink and purple don't go together? After she had a blowout, I put her in a more color coordinated ensamble with green pants. See? When Mommy goes to work, Daddy's just fine.

Fahrenheit - Hersheypark 2008

Hershey is adding a new ride this year and this is it. I stopped by afterwork today and took some pics. They have about half of the structure complete.
This is a profile look at the vertical lift (right) and 97 degree beyond vertical drop (left).

The rest of the ride is a spaghetti bowl of twists, turns, and inversions - 6 total.

A closer look at a corkscrew and some hills. Can't wait.
