More videos

Some more videos of us having some fun.


This is our checking the mail routine. We like to ride through the neighborhood. This time we had to try and dodge the rain showers.



Addison really likes to tell stories now. This is her explaining how she almost fell off of the couch.

A few of our favorite things

Addison has acquired quite the vocabulary. She is always doing or saying something that has us laughing. Enjoy!

The Big Move

Sorry it has been so long! We are moved and settling in to our new location in Georgia. These pictures are of the first official outing we had with the students. Addison loved being able to hang out with the big kids and try bowling for the first time.








We were blessed to be able to spend some time with our missionary friends Robert and Dori Zarahn. Malachi was visiting too but he was sick and unable to hang out much. We love them very much and were glad we were able to see them.




We are currently living in Canton. We have an apartment and live right down the road from the church where I work. Holly Springs is where the church is located.

More pictures and videos to come for sure! We love you all and hope you get to visit soon!

SNOW in FLORIDA?!?

We had some snow!!! It only lasted a few hours and it didn't stay on the ground, but it sure was an exciting afternoon. We even took a quick trip up to Dothan, Alabama to see some on the ground. Of course I (Matt) have been through some harsh snow in Illinois, but it has been a while since I have seen it falling like this! We scrambled to get some video and pictures before it stopped.
I think the news said it has been 17 years since the last "big" snow in this area. Great family time! We are looking forward to more adventures!

Good Time Update

Chelsea and I can sit around in the evenings and laugh until Addison goes to bed. She makes funny noises, faces, and has many other new tricks. It has truly been an amazing journey as we have watched her grow and develop. God is so amazing and we don't deserve such a rich blessing. We wanted to share some of the funny stuff she does. She may only be one year old, but she is a sponge! She is watching our every move.

Enjoy this little snippet of some things she has learned recently.

Yes, a little sign-language. She's getting the hang of it.

Say Cheeeeeese!

It was her idea!

All in all, we like to laugh and have a good time. I am thankful that I am able to be home in the evenings. I try to soak it all up.

Christmas Time!!!

It is hard to believe that last year Addison was six pounds and wrapped in a tiny blanket. This year was a totally different story. This year she was able to be more involved with all the activities. We went to our Christmas Eve service at FBC and then to Nana's and Papa's for our family get-together.
This year there are two more little ones on their laps. Logan and Mason are trying to figure out what is going on.

Little Addison was dressed like she was going to the Royal Ball. Too bad she ate one of the jewels off of her dress!
This Yo Gabba Gabba paper didn't stand a chance.

Big Girl carseat and Christmas Lights

We took a trip to DeFuniak Springs to see some Christmas lights. That day also marked the first time Addison got to ride in her "Big Girl" car seat. Yes, she is able to face forward and watch movies!
This is her glued to the movie

This is on I-10! She's out and not used to the head situation.

This is after we were in DeFuniak. She had a great power nap. She is still feeling the effects of nap time!


We met up with our friends, the Hogg family. Caleb, Melinda, Makayla, and Abigail. They have been a blessing to us and we enjoy spending time with them and Addison always has fun with the girls.
This little rascal really enjoys running from adults. She's quick and sneaky. This is a rare photo of her posing for the camera.
