Addie Turns 3

Addie turned 3 on July 17.  She had been so excited for her birthday for months and we had such a fun day celebrating.  We started out our day at Boondocks where she got to do everything for free.  She did mini bowling, arcades/rides, and the playground.  Her favorite part by far was the prizes she got from my mad ski-ball skills.
Reminiscing about when my little Addie cakes was born
She insisted on wearing her rain boots.  If it had been any other day I would have won that fight...but it was her birthday!


Addie was lucky to have my big sis Mandi and her kiddos in town and it worked out for them to come hang out with us all day.  Lily is Addie's only girl cousin that is remotely close to her age and they played so cute together.  After Boondock's we met up with Crystal, my Mom, Mandi, and her kids at City Creek for lunch and a trip to the Disney store.



Hanging out by the fountains.
Summer birthdays really are so much fun!  We had a water party with a $5 slip'n'slide that everyone loved!

Even Logan got in on the action
Addie and Lily ended up having the same swimsuit and they had both gotten the same Rapunzel doll at the Disney store.  They thought it was pretty cool to be twins!

My mom got a cupcake pinata and it was an absolute hit! Everyone was able to have a turn and then we finally had to pull out a real bat and get one of the bigger kids to break it open!








Addie was spoiled rotten and go so many fun new things.  She loves her new table and tea set and got Logan to have a tea party with her the next day!
We just love this sweet, spunky, sassy, practically bald-headed little girl.  It is hard to believe she is already 3.  I adore watching her learn and explore each day.  She is so smart and has the memory of an elephant, literally doesn't forget anything...EVER! She loves all things princesses, pink, purple, dress-ups, books, collecting random things for her collection (just like Ariel), playing pretend, coloring, helping me with anything and everything, and is just such a joy in our lives. She is an amazing big sis to Logan and is always looking out for him and trying to cheer him up when he's sad.  Happy Birthday sweet girl, we love you!
