Thought for the day...

More of Baby Addison

Baby Addison was visiting from Denver this past weekend and I grabbed her from her mother and father who were in Phoenix for a Young Life conference.  Actually her grandmother who is my mothers cousin was babysitting her at my house and we nabbed her for a couple of photo shoots.  You might say a couple of photo shoots? ... well I just couldn't get enough of this gorgeous baby model and her Nona (aka grandma Melanie) was happy to oblige!
Ok back to who is this baby to me?  She will be my daughter, Payton's third cousin.
I might need a chart to explain but here goes...


Cousins:                My Mom (Janet)   -   Melanie (grandma Nona)


Second cousins:    Me   -   Melanie's daugher Cassandra


Third cousins:       My daughter Payton   -   Cassandra's daughter Baby Addison 

What is a third cousin?

You and your first cousin's parents were siblings.

You and your second cousin's grandparents were siblings.
You and your third cousin's great-grandparents were siblings.

I think I have it right?  Anyways lets get onto the cuteness!

Of course as always Payton is right there in the middle of the action asking for pictures of her TOO!

It is so precious!

The third cousins

I love the milk on her lip Ahwww

Gymnastics!

Ok, so this is so cute! Gymnastics at 3 years old! First stretching...

Do you see the all pink leotard?  Leotard spelled just like it sounds... funny word. Ok, anyways Payton wanted me to make sure I point out she is the one in all pink.  The body part of it is like a velvet material.  I didn't capture it on camera but she was making the teacher and the whole class rub her belly to feel it.   

 Balance beam... Payton loves to run on it.  It is a crack up watching the teachers tell her it is not a race with the other kids to see who gets to the end first.  Of course her dad is just beaming!  He (her dad) then turns to me and says "Sorry to say but she has the Crank genes in her." which of course we all know he is not really sorry at all he is so PROUD!

This is the obstacle course.  Again Payton is in race mode!

More fun to come.... She loves her gymnastics class!
