Funny Girl!

I just had to post some pictures of Addy being her usual silly self. She is such a goof, always trying to make us laugh! She knows exactly what will get the biggest reaction and she goes for it...Lately her favorite thing to do is a "cheesy smile" and if any of you have seen it, I don't think the image will leave you anytime soon. Is it cute? Umm, I haven't decided yet but it definitely is hilarious! It's like so freaky looking that it's almost cute...you know, a face only a mother could love! She is such a joy, my mouth literally hurts by the end of the day because I have been laughing and smiling so much. Of course with this personality comes an extremely busy and opinionated little girl, but if any of you knew me as a child you know that I had it coming!!! She is completely exhausting at times, but always entertaining! Lately I feel as though she is just my best friend, by my side constantly and always having fun. I have loved every stage of her life for different reasons, but right now is so much fun because we are able to communicate so much and we can understand each other in ways that no one else would be able to (or in words that no one else would know!). I know it will just get more fun as she learns to talk more, but I love that she is still kind-of my baby at the same time. I have the best of both worlds...Can you tell I'm feeling pretty happy and in love? And don't even get me started on my husband...you want to be able to keep dinner down, right? =)

Addy (Sporty Spice) Lynn

So, Addy has now attended two major sporting events and loved both of them! The first of these was a Mariners game in Seattle. Daddy was extremely excited about the sporting event itself, I was excited about dressing Addy in a Mariners sweatshirt and eating garlic fries, and Addy was more excited about playing in the "Kids Zone" then anything else...so we all had our reasons for excitement! It was a great way to end the summer, being outside watching a baseball game.

The second awesome event was the Blazer Fan Night at the Rose Garden. This was a free event where fans could watch the Blazers scrimmage each other and hear them talk about the season. When we walked up to the Rose Garden there were about a million people (no exaggeration) pushing each other into the place. We weren't quite sure why people were going so crazy, but as we finally got inside we saw that the Blazers themselves were greeting the fans! Well, Landon about died right there on the spot and decided that the absolute coolest thing that could ever happen would be to have Addy's picture taken with one of them. We pushed our way over toward Jarryd Bayless and I got my camera ready. There were security people pushing the fans on through so that we didn't slow the crowd down, but I just knew that as soon as they saw my adorable Addy they would stop everyone and let us take a picture. Well, not so much, but I managed to yell to Jar (that's what I call him now), "How about a picture with the baby?" All this happened while Landon ran up to him and held Addy out and...snap! We got an awesome picture with our new best friend!

(I do have to point out that I thought I was supposed to take a picture of all three of them, Jar, Addy, and Landon, but Landon apparently thought I was just taking it of Jar and Addy. The picture of Landon looked a bit too similar to some of his taken around his 6th grade year so he forced me to cut him out...=( ).

Anyway, we had a great time the rest of the night watching our Blazers play. They were awesome and we are pretty sure that Addy is a huge fan now.

Oh, we also managed to snap a shot of Greg Oden, even though his bodyguard was trying his best to get us out of the way...you can't stop the Lynns and our Blaze Craze!!!!

Success!!!!

Well, it has been a while since my last blog. Our computer was in the shop for the last month or so, so I have a lot to catch up on! We successfully got family pictures taken!!! We decided to go to Picture People in Clackamas so that Addy could play in the kids area for a while before entering the battlefield... She was still not 100% excited about having a stranger point a camera at her, but she did so much better than last time and we actually came out of this with something to show for it! Our original plan was to have some individual pictures taken of her in addition to the family pics, but by the time we were done with those we thought is was better not to push it! Here are a few more pictures:
