7 QT - Addie Jo Phrases

Addie Jo has finally begun talking up a storm.  

Practically since turning 2 a few weeks ago, she's been saying a lot more words, and has a handful of phrases that just crack us up.

So I thought it would be fun to post the 7 things she says the most often.

Linking up with Jen at conversiondiary.com.

Addie Phrases:

1. Booboo too.
And Booboo do. 

She calls herself BOOBOO and both of these mean she wants something.

Show.  Booboo do.

2. Jumie too?

This is an easy one. She says this when she wants June to do what she's doing, which is not that often!

Jumie. Hat. Too. 

Ok, a little too hard, AJ!

Jumie get down from breakfast, too?

3. Mas Cheeeeese.  

This could literally mean more cheese to eat, but most likely - take more pictures of me (although I won't look at the camera when you want me to.)!

Cheeese.

Cheeeeese!

Cheeeese … Although the flash is TOO bright, mom!

4. Heeho, boy.  

She's trying to say,
"Yeehaw, ride 'em cowboy!"

I wonder why she'd want to say that?

Vacuum cord = lasso

Cheeeeese again.

5. Pinks, go?
Combined with a scowl and palms up is, "Where did her Pinky doll go?"

6. OH, Booboo! (throws her arms up, then laughs)

OH, Jumie.  OH Mama, OH Dada, you get the idea...

When she or someone does something wrong or funny!

7. House, Hi, PawPaw?
She wants to go to Grandma and Grandpa's house. Shocker, I know!

I'm only wearing this cool vest from aunt Janet because you are taking me to grandma's.

I'm sure we'll be hearing lots more from you really soon, Addie Jo. 

We love you… Booboo; yes, and Jumie too! 

7 Quick Takes

7 QUICK TAKES.

(Not sure why that's all in caps, maybe because these are really quick.)

Linking up with awesome Jen at conversiondiary.com per usual.


1.) It's been such a wintery winter to say the least.

With freezing wind chills and mounds of snow, and then freezing wind chills to more mounds of snow again, we haven't been up to much outside of the house.

And of course last week, I was all, "I'm not getting antsy being stuck in the house…"
Well, lets just say I'm singing a different tune going on week two.

At least it's still beautiful out!

We watched football last Sunday at mom and dad's hoping to get AJ out in this but she wasn't having any of it.

So we've been inside doing things like…

Pretend baking

Getting our first braids did. :)

And hanging out in Junie's favorite room, the bathroom.

2.)  One of my favorite events of the year was on Wednesday - the March for Life - something I always have loved going to.
Of course we were only there in spirit and prayer this year but I always tell Bill that one day we'll have to go with the girls (maybe as chaperones haha).

DC was coverend in snow but still had hundreds of thousands of marchers! 

And then I pulled up an old pic from a trip with students from 2008 -

And one of my fave pics from 2009 with Kate and Fr. Jay - gosh do we look young -

WE LOVE US SOME BABIES around here (EVEN the teething ones)!

Have you heard about the pregnant woman in the coma who's family is forcing the Texas hospital she's in to take her off life support and therefore kill her unborn baby?
Prayers for this sad story.


On a lighter note,


3.)  We are still into Cowgirls as much as Princesses this week.

All cowgirls love their horses! 

Ironically, Disney Junior came out with this show about a cat who is a sheriff in the Wild West (I mean really, do we need another reason to watch a show when I'm trying to cut back on TV? AHH! How does Disney know that AJ just became obsessed with all things vaquera/cowgirl?!)
Thank.you.very.much. makers of Sofia and Sheriff Callie.

Sheriff Callie and Sparky

Princess Cowgirl Addie

Doesn't want to take off her sombrero…

Except when Deputy June snags it.

Howdy partners.

4.) AJ is learning to type bang on the computer.  She's up to 0 words per minute, and is looking good in grandma's reading glasses.

5.)  The June Bug doesn't sit still much these days.  

So when she isn't rolling around in the tower tent…

She's doing this -

6.) You'd think being inside so much would be perfect for potting training this newly turned two year old.

But think again.

Yea, BooBoo she's saying here after ONE successful peepee.

Guess we just need to bite the bullet and hunker down and do the no pants dance for a few days; but I think we'll wait until she's SUPER interested.
At least we know she likes the jelly beans reward haha.

7.) And finally, I need to give a shout out to my blogger chicas -

First, to my beautiful and pregnant friend who is up for some Sheenazing Awards (These awards are named for Venerable Fulton J. Sheen - who was amazing when it came to using the newest forms of media to share Christ with the world.)

Go vote for Martin Family Moments here.


And Secondly, to my amazing friend, Kristin, who was in an awful car accident and had to have surgery on her wrist last week.

Go give her some love, poor thing!

Happy end of the weekend!
Peace out.

TODAY

Once in awhile, Bill throws out some pretty profound one-liners now and again.  

This recent one had me in stitches - and is a reflection of what must be on the brain most days in our girlie household.

Says Bill, 

"You know, Addie is more of an Aurora kind of princess, dancing in the woods with her animal friends… 

...And June is more of an Rapunzel, hit you over the head with a frying pan kind of princess."

Well put, Stinker, well put.
