"I need to fix this stupid thingy"

Addison is getting so inquisitive. She tries to take everything apart and then put it back together. She is in every cabinet, purse, bag, shelf, and drawer you can imagine. She is talking so much and using big words in the correct sentences. It makes me so proud to see her picking up things that I try to teach her after one day, and then weeks later hearing her reuse them correctly. However, Saturday Keith was fixing the "weed-eater" and Addison wanted to help. She kept saying "I need to fix this stupid thingy" We both started laughing asking her what? She was as serious as could be. She needed to fix that stupid thingy. I promise I didn't teach her that. The week before she flipped her little scooter fire truck (that I had taken the batteries out of a few weeks ago) over and said "I'll fix it" "it needs batteries" Keith got her Batteries and she went to put them in (with a little help from daddy) and them put the cover on and asked for a "twistin thingy" (a screwdriver) which is exactly what she needed. She constantly is asking for tools so this past weekend we took a family trip to target to purchase her own tools. As we were walking out I wished I had my camera because she had her tool case in one hand and Keith's hand in the other. It was darling.

See mommy it needs batteries.

Here's a short video of her helping daddy. The other ones were to big. She also lets the secret out of the bag as to where she wants to work when she's older.....PUBLIX! (the grocery store) Hopefully she manages the bakery! Enjoy!

Cooking with Mommy

On Malyke's last night he wanted me to make Lasagna and Garlic bread for dinner. As I was getting started Addison picked up the step stool and brought it over and asked of she could help. She stirred the cheese mixture and stirred and stirred. Then when I pulled out the Mozzarella Cheese she needed to stop and have a snack. Malyke enjoyed taking pictures, and then when the hard part came of putting the lasagna together, she said "you're welcome for making your lagagna mommy" It was too cute. She's growing up to fast, but I love moments like this.

Just eating some cheese.

and back to stirring....

One of my favorite pictures.

Nana's Birthday

Keith's Moms birthday and My mom's birthday are just one day apart. We celebrated my mom's birthday on Saturday by taking Malyke to Universal (just joking) but we wish we could transport ourselves back and forth to be in two places at once. On Sunday we were able to join Jan and Ken at Disney. Even though it rained most of the day we were able to enjoy a few moments in the pool and a wonderful dinner. After dinner Malyke, Addison, Keith and I went back for more Swimming, while Jan and Ken went to enjoy Harry Potter. Thank you to Jan and Ken for letting us invade their mini vacation. Who knows mom, maybe next year we will get to spend your birthday with you!
Happy Birthday Nana!

Donald was her bestie that day.

Sniff...Sniff...Ahhhcoo. Excuse me.

Addison loves her Malykey!!

A Day at Universal!

We had so much fun taking Malyke to Universal while he was here for the summer. We Started off our day with Shrek 4D and despite the long lines, hit just about every ride at Universal Studio's. We took Malyke on the Mummy and it was his favorite and least favorite ride. My favorite was by far Jaws. Watching Malyke's face was just priceless. He however will tell you he wasn't scared at all. I beg to differ!
Malyke getting refreshed!

Waiting for Men In Black. I'm not as young as I used to be. I puked shortly after exiting this ride....gross!

The New Simpson ride. I opted out, but Malyke and Keith really enjoyed it.

Looks like Malyke will be able to ride E.T. after all! (oh and the Mummy!)

Waiting in line for the Mummy. Can't you just see the excitement.

We had so much fun and really enjoyed experiencing new things with Malyke. We hope he had a much fun as we did!
