She also tried to take off with Memaw's birthday money!
We also went to Santi-Cali-gon days...but didn't really take any pictures.
On Monday, we followed my folks out to Deanna Rose Farm...so that afterwards, they could head home to Topeka from there. My dad had never been before and I think he enjoyed it.
Addie was timid around the sheep/goats this time.
She eventually warmed up to them.
They have a one room school house that Addie enjoyed playing in. I enjoyed the air conditioning...and my folks reminisced about the days that they went to school in a one room school house.
Ironically, they both went to a tiny school house by the name of Pleasant Ridge (See picture above).
We tried to to get a family shot, but my mom isn't exactly patient with this task. She took our picture before we even knew she'd done it. Her exact words were, "You should be ready when I'm ready." Does that sound like the child of Arthur Tilbury or what?
Addie Sue enjoys playing on her swing set. She's getting quite creative in the way she entertains herself. She stands on the swing, climbs the ropes, holds onto the other swings...you get the picture. I just hope we don't have to visit the ER anytime in the near future because of this girl's rambunctious behavior!
I wish we had the ability to put videos up on the blog. Our little miss is singing the sweetest songs and seems to have pretty good pitch. She's also really into letters. She knows all the letters and their sounds....I'm not kidding. Micah and I were at Lowe's and she told us the letters she saw on a sign (GRATIS- must be a brand name for something) while we were in line.
I would like to take credit for her brilliant little mind, however, I can only admit that I bought a video that taught it to her. Nice huh? Don't knock it 'til you try it. I swear, in less than three weeks, she was prancing around the house singing, "the T says Tuh".

One last picture...
I'm not artsy in any way, but I thought this windmill looked so peaceful at the farm on Monday. It might remind some of you of your good ol' days growing up in Kansas.
Have a great week!

I like the family photo your mom did a good job.
Beth,
I must say that only your dad attended Pleasant Ridge. That was way out in the country (5mi I think). I attended Bendena Grade School and he did to after a while. We had 4 grades in one room not 8.
Mom
Love the pictures and the time we spend with you all anyway.
As soon as I read your blurb about the Leap Frog video, I went & ordered it off of Amazon... thanks so much for the suggestion!!
Tracy
