Who is that Cute Baby?

Fashion Show and Another Giggling Video

Every year for the Iowa vs Iowa State game, Chris' company has a tailgate on the Friday before the game. Since I know longer work on Fridays, Chris invited Addison and myself down to participate. I had to make sure she had something to wear, so we tryed on a good portion of her Hawkeye gear (no this isn't everything haha)

If you aren't an Iowa Fan / despise Iowa clothes even when they are on an adorable little girl, scroll real fast down to the bottom, as there is a video of her laughing. This time it was because Daddy with playing with Lexi. Addi giggled like this for over 10 min straight! So cute!

Labor Day Weekend

This weekend we went to Eddyville to race. We drove down Friday night and camped in the parking lot. Saturday, we pulled the car out to start racing and realized it wasn't as fixed as we thought it was. So needless to say, it was a quite weekend of racing. Chris gave the Jeep a try in sportsman, just for fun. And my name was in National Dragster for wining the trophy class at Earlville (Tri-Stat Raceway) back on July 25th.

Addison is starting to get the hang of eating and drinking more and more every day. She is very observant. We have learned that if we plan on eating, we better have something for her to eat too! And there will be no more teasing her with foods and drinks she cant really have, because now she really wants them and gets upset when she cant have them.

Today we were without power for 5 hours. Boy were we bored. We even contemplated camping in the driveway! or even going to Saylorville! When the power finally came back on our fire alarms decided to freak out and go off every 30 secs. (and are randomly going off as we speak.) But we got this cute video of Addison with Mercedes!

Fun Day

Addison and I had a fun day today. We picked up Grandma Vest and headed to Polk City for "Tummy Time" at the library. There were 5 other kids there ages 7 mo - 3 years. We sang songs and they told stories. They even had toys to play with.

After "Tummy Time" we ran down to INVISION (where I work) because I had to send out some awards prints. Addison let everyone take turns holding her and had a lot of fun. After I finished up, my old intern (and friend) Amanda met Addison and I and a couple of co-workers (Brian and Laura) for lunch! We had a good time catching up with Amanda.

I am now off to get my hair cut and then Chris and I are going to get the travel trailer from Bob and Marcia's so we can get it all packed up for the weekend of racing ahead.

The below image is from last night when Addison got super messy with her dinner :)

A Big Weekend

This past weekend was a very busy weekend. Uncle Joe came up from Tulsa, and Grandma and Grandpa Knepper came down. Saturday was spent running errands and hanging out around the house, but Sunday was the day with all of the excitement.

Sunday morning after 10:30 mass, we baptized Miss Addison Riley Vest. We were glad that Uncle Joe and "Aunt" Katie agreed to be Addison's Godparents. Addison made it all the way through mass and baptism with out fussing, but when it came time for pictures afterwards, she was crabby and ready for some lunch! At least she waited until after Baptism was over, 3/4 of the other kids were eating during the ceremony :)







After Baptism, Addison was invited to her first pool party! There were 18 kids and 6 babies under a year! We had a blast (and so did Addison :). We can't wait for the years to come where she can play like the other kids were, she is already a fish, so I can't imagine what she'll be like when she can actually enjoy a pool.
