Weekend Update

Some of the fun things we did this past weekend.

• Friday night Addy and Mom went on a 'special'. We went to go see Princess and the Frog...at the theater. We rarely go to the theater so this was a big treat. Addy loved the movie and really loved the popcorn and candy that fed our tummies! The movie has lots of music and Addy just had to get up and dance during some of the fun songs. She kept saying "This is the best night Mom. I'm having so much fun!" I love that she's getting old enough to recognize fun, special times with each individual parent.
• Saturday, Grandma Bassett was tending some of the other cousins and invited us to come along swimming. We went of course and had a great time. Addy had a life vest on so she did really well swimming beside her cousin Sage in the deep end. Brynn loved going down the slides on her tummy and wasn't even scared of the big, dark green slide.
• Later that evening, after a quick dinner at Applebee's the girls stayed with Grandma and Grandpa Bassett while Todd and Jen went to get Todd's tooth fixed. His temporary crown came off and since he was leaving to Las Vegas the next morning for five days a nice friend offered to take him to her dental office and fix it at 8pm on a Saturday night. So grateful for generous people!
• Sunday at church Addy gave her first talk in Primary! She did so well! I helped her of course but she wasn't shy or scared at all and spoke especially loud and clear as she bore her testimony! I was so very proud of my little girl, who doesn't seem so little anymore.
• Brynn spoke another word on Sunday. Ice. This is thanks to our other daughter, Addy, who strongly prefers ice in her water. Brynn has now caught on and very clearly requests 'ice'. Other words she speaks are: this, that, Mama, Dada, Brynn, Addy, book, more, yes, dog.
• Addy's cousin Sage came over for a play date today. I enjoy watching Addy interact with her friends. She does great sharing, playing pretend (the monsters are always chasing her around the house) and just being silly. Today the girls were very concerned with dressing up and wearing high heels. Sage informed me she "doesn't believe in socks" to which Addy no longer believes in socks either. Really? It's 30 degrees out and you're three years old!
