Christmas

Hey, I'm Addi. I know I haven't blogged a lot lately. I decided to blog today. So I want to blog about Christmas today.

Christmas is so fun to me because I get presents. Christmas is my favorite holiday because I get to see my cousin Leslie. On Christmas night, we go to Aunt Patsy's house. I love to see my cousin Leslie. She lives in California. I don't get to see her much.

These are the days I get see her. On Thanksgiving and Christmas. And New Year's. (She does?) I get lots of toys for Christmas.

Today is Saturday. Tomorrow I get to go on a train ride. All my friends at church will get to be there.

We get to Santa Claus tomorrow and get to ask him for Christmas presents. Santa always brings presents and I never got coal in my stocking.

Um. On Christmas morning my Dad always wakes me up and I run to the living room. I get to open my presents. Usually it's something like 20 or something like that. I love the presents Santa gives me.

While I was a little baby, I didn't get much presents. (Yes, she did) I love Christmas. I love it so much.

My whole my family loves Christmas so much.

Gospel Meeting at Sylvan Springs Church of Christ

Today is the second day of our gospel meeting, except I'm supposed to be at school right now, but I'm sick. I didn't get to go to church yesterday because I was sick and was running a fever the last night. Church is really fun because you get to learn about God. God gave us the world. He even made us. I hope you come tonight when you see this post.
God made the trees and our food. We wouldn't be here right now if we didn't have that stuff 'cause God gave us that stuff for real. God is a very good maker. He makes the whole world for us. Gospel meetings are very good because we get to learn about God.
I have lots of friends at church like Xander and Hannah, she's actually my cousin. She's my first cousin because Josh is her daddy and my mom is Josh's sister. So Hannah's my cousin really. My momma's other brother Daniel doesn't have any kids. Granna and Gramps (Gramps is the really preacher for our church, but not the preacher for the gospel meeting). Kerry Richardson is the gospel meeting preacher.
Have a great day. My name's Addi.

I Love Soccer

Soccer is a good game. Somebody named Sean is on my team and in my class. And its very fun playing soccer with him because I get to say "Sean, see you at the game!" And sometimes I see Kirsten at school who is on my team. She's in first grade.

Sean and Kirsten are the only two people that go to my school. Drew and Sarah go to a different school. Levi and Ian does not go to school.

I'm the goalie every game but I don't want to be the goalie every game. Daddy always wants me to be goalie. I really want to go out there and have fun. I don't like goalie. It's not very fun just standing there.

Some of my friends come to watch me play. Emily and Jared, my cousins Jasmine, Alex, and Hannah, Josh, Katie is my aunt, Gramps and Granna, Ben and Rachel. My friends are very good.

It's important to always bring drinks because during half time you don't have a drink or money you just have to stand there and be sweaty. But we never forget drinks. It's really, really fun playing soccer. Sports are my favorite things to do.

Soccer and softball are very, very fun. School is a hobby too cause you get to write stuff. Soccer is fun too cause my Daddy is my coach. Coach Ryan, Coach Joseph, and Coach Alex. They are very good at teaching us. We practice kicking the ball.

I'm #8 and Levi is #2. We are blue and orange.

It's just so fun playing soccer. Only the goalie can touch the ball with hands. There is only 2 goalies. One is for the other team and one for us.

The other teams are the Inferno, Strike, Ole, Raptors, Wombats, and we are the Incredibles.

I love soccer and my name is Addi.

The Weekend with My Mom

I don't usually get to stay with my mom because I go to school, but today is the weekend and I get to spend time with my mom. Today is a special day because it's Saturday and my mom and me get to spend time together and brother and my sister. My daddy works at the school so I get to see him every day. At school my dad is in the lunchroom and I get to wave at him. I'm sad because my mom is at home at lunch instead of there with me. I used to stay at home every day (when I was four years old). Half of last year I was five, but I didn't get to start school until school started.
School is fun. You just get to relax and do your work. And we get to dance too. We have a carpet and we get our wiggles out before and after we sit on the carpet.
We go to the pumpkin patch in 6 days! That's going to be our very first field trip! School is fun too, but I like to stay home with my family. The weekends are Saturday and Sunday. Once we had Labor Day on a Monday and we didn't have to go to school for three whole days.
Last night I went shopping with my mom. I had to go to the doctor first because my leg has a boo boo. And we got to go eat at Habaneros.
Last week when I was playing softball, my brother busted his head on the playground and had to get stitches. Then he had to go get fillings that week too.
My mom is so fun and I love her more than she thinks I love her. Sometimes we have a fight about who loves who the mostest.
I get to call my cousin Leslie on Friday nights because I get to sleep in the living room and sleep late on Saturdays. But Leslie didn't answer last night.
Have a good weekend!! And all the other days!
Addi

I love Fall Ball

Fall ball is great! Fall Ball is comfortable because I get to run. We had our first practice yesterday and I feel great except we didn't get to bat. It's real cool to play fall ball because everything around me makes me feel comfortable because I want to run and stuff. I don't like to sit down.
Soccer is really cool too, but I love softball better. Because I like softball more because it's so fun and you get to run around and stop and rest at your base. It's not as hard as soccer. All you have to do with softball is go out there and have fun. There's four bases. One is called first base. And there's second base called second base. And the third base is called third base. And the last one is called home plate. If you get on home plate you get a homerun, but you have to go to all the bases really fast before they get the ball back to the circle. It's all about having fun, not just playing. We are strong and we can win this year in fall ball. Two people in my class are playing fall ball and one girl in Ms. Clayton's class. Allie is in Ms. Clayton's class and Macy and Teri Kate are in my class. I saw another kid at the ballpark in my class named Jacob. He was there watching somebody.
It's fun because of all the bases I told you about. It's not just about going around. If the ball is in the circle you have to stay where you are. All the bases are beautiful except they are dirty. All this stuff I'm telling you about are special.

School is AWESOME!!!

I love school! I've been there for three days now and I love it so much that I want to go there every day, not just five days a week, every day of the week! My favorite part is P.E. The worst part is taking a nap. I love school because all the things that are there makes me feel happy. Everything around me looks cute and awesome. One of my friends is sitting at the table right next to me.
Mrs. Earnest is my teacher. She teaches us a lot of things that we should know. She has a little puppet and its name is "Snip Snap Silver" and we have to teach it how to cut. It cuts its clothes and its hair too. You should never do that. ONLY CUT PAPER!

Excited about Kindergarten

This is the very first time I'm going to school. I think it's going to be fun. My mom always liked school when she was little. Every time I go to school to watch my daddy put up his stuff I saw my teacher's classroom there. I thought it was pretty cool. I'm excited about meeting new friends. My teacher's name is Mrs. Earnest. I'm going to school in two weeks!!!
My kindergarten mat has a little kitty with a pillow attached to it. It's really cool because my mom got it just for me. I have a lunchbox and backpack. It's really cool to me because I saw my daddy's class before and I think my class is going to be cool. School is awesome.

I Love the Beach

It's real fun at the beach. It's more funner than anything in the world. Everything at the beach, I like. It's so beautiful. And my whole family came home today.

There are seashells and jellyfish. The waves were getting bigger and bigger everyday we were there. The beach is so salty.


Crabbing was real fun. We caught a lot of crabs. Once Daddy dropped one (edit - on the oven) and I yelled "Crab on the loose, crab on the loose!"

Me and Hannah and Levi had real fun. And everybody had a great time at the beach too.

I Love Branson

Okay, Branson is a beautiful place. I'm visiting it right now. It's the bestest the place in the world 'cause it has lots of fun stuff. And I love it the most because its real fun 'cause we went to ride the ducks. It wa pretty fun. We went to Silver Dollar City and I loved it too. And party, actually, hold on for a second, Celebration City is pretty fun too.

I went to go visit my aunts, uncles, grandad, grandmom, and cousins. Our family is pretty fun to have fun with. Um, they live pretty far from us, we don't get to see them much 'cept I love them and sometimes I get to talk to them on the phone. One of my, um, um, um, my Aunt Katie. She has two children and her name is Macy and Charlie and Seth. He's not a children. And she has a new baby comin' up. And my cousin Andrew and Aunt Lori and Uncle Luke.

My Grammy and PaPa are pretty much fun and I love my family very much. And my Mom's family.

That's all!

Mommy and Daddy Getting Married 10 Years Ago

Everyday I get to see my Mom and Dad and that makes me feel special. My Mom and Dad got married 10 years ago and today's their anniversary. And everyday I see them it makes me think of them. They got married five years before I was born. Next year, it will be their 11th year of marriage. Daddy, stop smiling. Wipe that grin off your face. Sometimes I love them even more every day. And every day it makes me feel special about my brother and sister. They're so special because they're my Mom and Dad. And I play softball and Mommy is the dugout Mom and Daddy watches out for Levi. Of course, my whole family comes to my ball game.

Jasmine, Leslie and Addi- Best Cousins Forever

Jasmine and Leslie are my best friends. They mean special to me. Leslie lives in California. Well, I get to see her at Christmas and Thanksgiving. Most of all, my mommy lets me get to call her, but one time I went to the bathroom and I hanged up and promised Leslie I would call her back. But mommy wouldn't let me call her back.
Jasmine lives close to me and we go to church together. She is 18 years old. Sometimes I get to spend the night with her. I never got to spend the night with Leslie. But sometime this summer we've been thinking about me coming to visit her in California (this is news to mommy who's typing this for Addi).
My mommy's real special even though she didn't let me call Leslie back.
Memorio's Day (Memorial Day) is coming up and I'm real excited.

My Family is Special

My family is special. I know that you've saw my family before, but I'm just putting this picture on here because I love my family. I love my mommy and my brother and my sister and my daddy. I especially love myself. My family's real special because they love me and care for me and care for everybody that I love. I know I already said this, but I love my father and my mom. Every day I spend time with them and it helps me feel special. I'm about to go to school this year. My daddy works at the school where I'm going. Daddy's going to drive me to school. I'm excited!!

My Cake

My cake is the bestest cake that I've ever saw in the whole world. I haven't tasted it yet, but it sure seems yummy. The cake is so wonderful so we're going to build a place called "Mommy and Addi's Bake Shop." Cakes are only like $15. So you better be there because it's going to be so yummy!! Levi helped me put on the sprinkles. It's so special to have a mom who lets us build a bake shop!
My brother is so special because because he is so nice to me. Sometimes we fight, but I love him. Sometimes he hits me, but that's okay. I have a six month sister and she doesn't really do anything, but she's only six months old and that's what babies are supposed to do.
My mommy has a friend from Freed-Hardeman and she takes a bake class. She made a cake for my tea party one day and it was so yummy. Her name is Rachel. She is as old as my mommy.
Bye.

Visting Uncle Daniel and Aunt Mandi

I love Uncle Daniel and Aunt Mandi. They're so lucky to have all of us. And I love you more than you love me, Daniel and Mandi. Don't ever, ever stop loving our family. And love Addi.

We ate pizza today, we played dress up, we played the Wii, we went to arts and crafts, then we left for home.

Goodbye.

Lads to Leaders

I made a new friend at Lads to Leaders. Her name was Miriam. Me and Miriam had lots of fun at Lads to Leaders. I hope you see this Miriam!

Going to Lads to Leaders

I love Lads to Leaders because it makes my family so proud. My Mom and Dad are very luck to take my family to Lads to Leaders. We're leaving tomorrow for Lads to Leaders and it feels very special. Actually, my whole church is going.

My painting is really beautiful and it has glitter on it. It's always cute.

I love Softball!

I love softball! It's my favorite sport! My team is the Firecrackers! My favorite thing is probably batting. I went to a clinic and it was real special. Coach Courtney teached me all about how to play softball. That's all.

I Don't Feel Good

I have a headache. And a fever. And I have a cold. I hate when I'm sick. It's so evil. Why I am the kid sick in this family? That's all.

Almost Tea Party Time

I have a tea party. It's the greatest of all. Because it makes me feel better and my aunt and my uncle and my cousin and a friend named Zach. It's so lucky to have a tea party for just my family. We're gonna have tea and eat chicken. Mommy has clean plates and clean forks and they're pretty and clean cups and they're pretty too.
(Daddy Edit - We keep clean dishes around here. Honest).

And it's great to have family. And it's lucky to have a Daddy and a Mommy that cares for me because I love them too much. At first we were having a tea party just for the Kelsey's instead but Mary first said I could spend the night, but I told her we were going to have a tea party. So we're dressed in our fancy clothes. My dress is black with sparkles with a bow. Mommy is wearing a purple dress and my Daddy's wearing a cute blue shirt and a fancy tie. And his hair is good. Levi has a tie too. And he has a striped shirt and striped pants. Lila's wearing red and flowers and white because she wearing a dress too and wearing shoes. We're having music. And it's so nice having a family get together. It's better than having no family.


Daddy Edit - We had a great time. Addi is going to remember this for years to come. Kim fixed a top notch meal. Rachel sent an delicious cake. And having everyone here was just plain fun. The highlight was everyone was dancing to "You Cant Touch This" on our TV music. Video to be posted soon here.

Me and Hannah

Hannah is the greatest cousin ever. She will turn two this year. Hannah is so sweet. She's funny and she likes to laugh at me. It's lucky to have a cousin like that.
