He's Kind Of A Big Deal

It needs to be known, Daddy is pretty famous in our house. Seriously, everyday is like a celebrity sighting. Anytime he makes an appearance (a.k.a. Addison spots him in the house resuming his normal activities) she comes running to me saying: "Mommy, Mommy, Mommy, Mommy, Mommy, Mommy....it's Daddy!" (rinse and repeat). It's adorable how frequently she can do this throughout the course of the day, even on Saturdays when he hasn't even left/came back from work. She even likes to announce where he is every day as we get dressed. "Daddy.....turch" (on Wednesdays when he's with the youth) or "Daddy....wort" (work).

She thinks a lot of her Dad and seems to get her feelings hurt more when he gets on to her for something vs. when I do it. She also loves to request horsey rides within three minutes of him getting home from work....daily. "Daddy...ride?" And she repeats the phrase until he gives in (which he always does regardless of how long of a day he's had).

I love that she idolizes her Daddy so much. Sometimes I wonder if we should bust out the camera and turn into the paparazzi or ask him for his autograph? But of course, when you think about it, who could blame her when they have all this fun together?



Rocking out to some tunes at the end of the day. This girl has some serious dance moves. I'm amazed a two year old can move her body like that. She obviously doesn't get this trait from me since she has much more rhythm than I.


Daddy & Addison at the pool in Arizona on vacation back in March. She's a great little swimmer and has no fear when it comes to water....I'm loving it!


The "popcorn loving" genetic trait definitely passed from Father to child. She loves her "paw-corn"


Bath time plus bubbles...a little girl's dream! And yes, for those wondering, John is in his swimming trunks, just in case we are encroaching on "that age". ;-)


Helping Dad change the breaks on the car. This photo op was just too adorable to pass up. It definitely brings back memories I had of helping my Dad on his cars when I was that little.

Oh...she is so cute!! This is how I'm invisioning Rex to be with Nick. You'd think he was famous or something because of how much he loves him! My girls love him too a lot but he has started to love him so much quicker than the girls ever did! They loved him too at this age, just not as much as he does!
