Won Championship!!!

Brett's basketball team won the championship game this past Saturday! He was so excited. After the game the team went to the coach's house to celebrate. The kids played basketball, football, swam in the pool, and got in the hot tub. They had a blast!

Update

Everything is going great! I can't believe that Addison will soon be celebrating her first birthday. She is crawling and pulling up on everything. We had to get another baby gate b/c she has learned to climb to the top of the stairs. Brett's basketball team has their Final Four playoff game tonight. If they win they will get to play in the championship game on Saturday. His baseball team has already started practicing. They had their first practice last night. He is doing really well academically. We still have some room to improve with conduct.

We listed our home for sale by owner a few months ago but haven't had anyone call to show it so we have decided to list it with a realtor. We are wanting to move to a neighborhood with more children. I hope everyone is doing well. I will try to keep my posts more up to date. I've added two pics of Addison at 9 months and one of Brett taken a few weeks ago.

Update (Addison 9 mos. Brett 10 yrs)

I hope everyone had a great Christmas. This was our best yet! Having a new baby really helps you connect with what Christmas is all about. Brett is now back at school and basketball games have begun. Brett is having to sit out of a few due to a broken finger. He goes back to the doctor this week and he is hoping the doctor will allow him to play. Addison is learning how to crawl. She has also started clapping and making sounds for you to copy. Joe is doing great! His Florida Gators won the National Championship. He has been really busy at work. I guess that's a good thing. I am posting a few pics from Christmas day and a short video of Addison crawling for the first time. Hope you enjoy.

Update

Brett's birthday party was a lot of fun! The kids had a blast on the go-carts. Brett used the money that he got from his birthday to buy a playstation 3. His football season ended a few weeks ago. They didn't get very far in the playoffs. Basketball practice started this week. Hopefully his basketball team will do better. Today Brett is in Montgomery for his 4th grade field trip to the State Capital.

Addison is getting so big. She is now saying ma ma ma... and has started scooting around. She loves to scoot to the presents under the christmas tree. She can also hold her own bottle. She likes for you to feed her, but wants to play with it when she is done eating.

Thanksgiving was great! Everyone came to our house to eat. Then we took all the kids to the bay for Christmas pictures.

Update (Addison 7 mos. Brett 10)

October was a very busy month. Our family had birthdays galore! We celebrated mine, Sheryl's, Mom's, Joe's, and Brett's birthday last month. We have also stayed busy with football. Brett's team plays their last scheduled game on Saturday and then we begin the play offs. Brett wanted to have his birthday party at the Track. I booked it over a month ago and the closest date I could get to his actual birthday was for this Sunday. I will post pictures next week. Brett did very well on his report card. All A's and one B. We've got to work a little harder in Science this quarter. Addison is changing so much. It seems like she learns something new everyday. She is starting to try to talk. She is now saying ba ba ba ba... She loves rolling over. As soon as you put her on the floor she rolls over and goes back and forth. She reaches for everything. She pulled her jar of baby food off the table the other night and spilled it all over the kitchen floor. She is also beginning to sit up by herself. She can sit up for a few minutes then she falls back or to the side. Once she falls the first time it turns into a game and she begins throwing herself back as soon as you sit her up. She has also started throwing her toys on the floor for you to pick up. She thinks its funny! Grandma came to visit with us for a week. We went shopping and she taught me how to quilt. She also spent the night with us and had dinner with us on Brett's birthday. Halloween was a lot of fun. We had Brett's best friend and parents come over as well as Nick and Carrie and their kids. We went trick or treating and ate dinner afterwards. Micah's baby dedication was this past Sunday. It was one of the sweetest baby dedication's I have ever been to. He is so cute and is getting so big! I hope everyone is doing well. I will post again next week.

Update

Brett's football team played against Robertsdale this weekend and won! Mom, Dad, Brad Michael, Candice, & Micah came to watch. It was really hot and we had to keep the babies under an umbrella. Brett made two tackles. Brett is #26.

Addison rolling over

Addison rolled over for the first time by herself today. I got it on video and wanted to share it with everyone. I've also included a picture I took of her yesterday for Joe.
