Labor Day

Usually we don't do much for Labor Day but this year with both Zachary and I off we decided to celebrate this Monday as a family. We went out to Olive Garden (should of remembered once you have toddlers you can't eat out at a sit down restaurant) to eat and then off to the park.





We decided to head on over to Daybreak to walk around the lake and see the ducks, Andie and Jake both loved it! A little walk was so nice for this family and we enjoyed our time together. Don't you love family days?









Andie 3 Years 3 Months

Andie my little girl why are you doing this to your mother? Another month has come and passed and your just growing so quickly. Your radiant smile, strong willed personality and belly laugh is such a joy to be around. I love everything about you little girl and watching you grow into this amazing young women is enough to bring any mother pure joy. At three years three months...

1. Andie loves popsicles. It started after eating a popsicle at Grandpa and Grandma Wadsworths house. You know those popsicles with the ice cream in the middle, yeah Andie is an addict.


2. Andie loves to perform on stage. When I say perform it is in-front of Mom, Dad and Jake and when I say stage it is our fireplace. Andie loves to walk back and forth and have the spotlight shine on her. I have a little performer on my hands!


3. Andie is our little chief. We got some steps so that I could use it in the pantry to reach the top shelves. Andie has now taken over those steps and calls them her own to help us cook every meal. Andie is such a good helper and is really good at giving Mom a heart attack helping around the stove.


4. Andie loves nursery rhymes. In nursery they sing a lot of these rhymes and Andie can sing them all day long. Andies favorite part about nursery is singing time. Singing songs with my girl is an all day event and we would have it no other way as she is learning through them.


5. Andie is our puzzle lover. Andie has grown this love for puzzles and is actually very good and doing them on her own. Matching up the pieces together and getting the final picture project is her favorite. Christmas shopping is easy for this girl this year with all her games and puzzle love.


6. Andie is finally understanding what a whisper is. Andie has become very good during Jakes naps to stay quiet, watch movies and play on her iPad for a couple hours each day as we quietly enjoy our time together. I love this one on one time I get with my princess!


7. Andie loves makeup, or getting pretty as she calls it. Andie loves to get ready right beside Mom in the bathroom brushing her hair, putting an elastic in her hair, putting on makeup, washing her face, brushing her teeth, whatever it entails this girl is right beside Mom wanting to get pretty!


8. Andie likes the Troll in Central Park movie. It was one of my favorites while I was growing up and so we decided to get it off of the Netflix DVD plan and Andie has watched it daily. Andie loves that this has a scary troll in it and that she can sing along to all the songs. I love my mini me!


Andie Noelle you are my favorite big girl. I love watching you have new likes and dislikes, I love watching you as you discover new foods, games or videos you love. I love everything about you my princess!

Zoo Time

We had an unexpected trip to the zoo in August with some of Zachary's family members. The zoo was still decked out in Dinosaurs and Andie was so excited to go back to the monkey store. We started the afternoon by going downtown to Wingers for lunch before heading to the zoo.



At the zoo Andie and Jake both loved it! They got a wagon ride, carousel ride and got to see the dinosaurs and animals there. Its always so fun to be able to go and spend time together as a family :)
