addie with her pirate sword


and anyone who saw my last year's post on the pee wee olympics. well, we did it again this year. it was pretty much the exact same thing as last year. but this year it was soooo hot!! it was 95 degrees. we were all literally dripping (or glistening for us ladies) with sweat. ughhh. but occasionally i could find a shady spot with ellie and catch a little breeze. at least i wasn't 9 months pregnant like last year!


the marshmallow toss



the plate discus throw



putt-putt. this year, addison would pick up the ball and put it right in front and between the hole and tap it in and then pick it up again and do the same thing for the next hole. she didn't feeling like working in this heat! heheh



trying to make it up the hill without the help of daddy.






"hooray, i did it!"



the bike parade



look how dark ellie is!!! her skin tone is different from super fair-skinned addison. she tans very easily and gets dark! poor thing was sweating watching addison do all the games! maybe next year you can play too, ellie! :)
