"Pishas" of Addy

Addy and I had some free time the other day in which we really didn't know what to do with ourselves. We wandered around the house for a good 15 minutes until I decided it would be fun to take some fall photos of Miss Adelyne in her "hipster" outfit.

I went old school and got out my real camera; nothing special just a point and shoot that's maybe a step above my camera phone. 

As I was taking pictures, Addy grabbed my phone, held it up and said "Pishas, Pishas!" and tried to take pictures of me taking pictures of her. It was super cute! 

She only managed to take one picture which was my blurry foot, but she was super proud of herself. 

Yesterday I saw a commercial for Nikon which said something like: "Just because your phone has a camera doesn't mean the photos are worth sharing." It featured a bunch of blurry camera phone photos. I am so guilty of that! But the pictures from my phone are just as good as my other camera so why bother with the other one?

So, here are the photos I ended up with. I am definitely not going to quit my day job anytime soon to take up photography but I'm pretty happy with the way they turned out. I love how they just capture Addy in this season; her love for pumpkins, or "balls" as she calls them and the way she is looking off into the distance, probably just watching a passing car but that's how she's learning and growing. Her world is getting bigger and bigger everyday.

Balloon Fiesta Week

The Balloon Fiesta was weeks ago and since then we've had family in town as well as a little cold that decided to visit all three members of our household. Thankfully, we all seem to be better now and I have some free time to upload pictures. So, here is our week of balloons via the iphone. 

Up before the sun, bundled up in Carter's sweet bike trailer, but no balloons. Bummer!

Getting up at 5:30 makes for a long Saturday!

We have a great view from our house and Addy got to see balloons or "balls" almost every morning.

How cute are these PJ's? They have boots and cowgirl hats on them. Handy-me-downs are the best!

At some point during the week, George got all dressed up. I think this was Grandma's doing. I took a pic and every time I let Addy scan through my photos, she would laugh at this one.

Sick little baby still woke in time to the balloons.

We camped out in our front yard, hillbilly style.

This was my attempt at being artsy.

We were able to take Addy and Carter to the Fiesta on the very last day. It was a beautiful day but I think we might have had our expectations set a little too high. They hated it. At least one of them were crying the entire time. Those silly New Mexican kids aren't used to cold weather or early mornings.

Parenthood and Baseball

Matt is out tonight so I get an evening to myself, catching up on Parenthood and New Girl episodes. Does anyone else watch Parenthood? The only other person I know who's a fan is the Pioneer Woman, so that means it must be cool, right? 

We were watching the world series before he left which was actually pretty exciting because not only did Pablo Sandoval, from the Giants, hit 3 home runs in a row, but the pitcher for the Tigers had the last name "Albuquerque". I think it might have been spelled differently but how cool is that? We just happen to live in Albuquerque and we have a Sandoval County! Does anyone else think that's blog worthy? Now I'm torn, who do I route for?!?!?

Speaking of baseball, Addy has become quite the little sports fan. Matt taught her how to say "Touchdown," with her hands in the air and she even claps like Matt does, fist into palm. She actually asked to watch football the other day. The funniest thing was when a dirt bike race was on TV and a biker crashed. Addy freaked out and started crying, but then we turned the channel to a football game. Some guy got tackled and she cheered. 

Here's our little cheerleader in new favorite hat. It's a makeup bag that I let her play with. She used to carry all her puzzle pieces around in it, until she discovered how perfectly it fit on her head. She wears it all the time now.
