Update

I've been slacking on posts but not much has happened over the past month or so since we lost Dash. We have really been working on our family and spending quality time together.
Mothers day weekend was bittersweet, it is so wonderful to realize how much Addison has grown in the past year but at the same time our loss was so fresh that it was hard to have a completely celebratory day. My mom came down for the weekend and it was really nice to see her and have some fun for a change! My mom and her husband arrived the Friday of mothers day weekend and came to visit our house that night. Addison was a little cautious at first but after a few minutes she warmed right up to my mom and pretty much thought she was the greatest playmate ever! They colored, played peekaboo and were just plain squirrly, it was so cute to see :)
Saturday we visited them at their hotel in Scottsdale for some much needed relaxation. Daddy and Addison went swimming with MiMi and Addison's love of water was born! She loved floating with the noodles and by the end of our time she was jumping off the side of the pool into the water! My little dare devil! After the pool we went to my favorite little restaurant called "The Grape Vine." We used to go to Arizona as a family every year since I can remember to visit my grandparents. We would designate one day just to go to Old Town. Each of us kids got $20 to buy something fun at one of the shops and it was always the highlight of the trip. The Grape Vine was the restaurant that without fail we always had lunch at. I love that it is still around and still serving the worlds greatest lavosh! YUM! After lunch it was nap time for all and then off to the D-Backs game! We ended up scoring great box seats and Addison sat and cheered through ALL 9 INNINGS! She is such a little baseball fan! Even when we are at home, she likes to sit and watch the D-Backs play on tv...she is SO my kid :) We all wore our D-Backs jerseys like true fans and had such a fun time, even though they lost horribly!
Mothers day we went to brunch at Saddle Ranch in Scottsdale and it was fabulous! We enjoyed mimosas and I ordered this divine french toast which was on the house for mamas! What a great weekend!











Lately Addison has had her little friend Bryar coming over a few times a week to play while her mommy works. These girls are two peas in a pod and have a BLAST together. I just crack up even looking that them, they are so stinkin cute! We love you Miss Bryar, thank you for being our friend!
