Neuschwanstein Castle

Speaking of traveling Europe.. If we ever get to go to Germany, I really really want to take a tour of the Neuschwanstein Castle!!! This is the castle that inspired the creators at Disney for the Disney Castle.





Neuschwanstein Castle is one of the world's most fanciful, recognizable and controversial buildings.

Neuschwanstein Castle is a bizarre castle conceived by the "Mad King" Ludwig II of Bavaria, Germany. It was built in the 19th century but was designed as a fanciful recreation of medieval castles dating back to the 12th century.

Italy :)

I would LOVE to someday take a vacation with Loren to Italy! Italy has so many neat places. I already found 11 places I'd want to go..
1. The Coliseum
I'd for sure go here! This is the main thing I'd like to see.


2. The Leaning Tower of Pisa

3. Piazza Campidoglio


4. The Roman Forums
5. The Pantheon


6. The Trevi Fountain
This is another main one I'd like to see!


7. The Grand Canal in Venice


8. The Sistine Chapel


9. St. Peter's Basilica


10. St Peter's Square


11. The Vatican Gardens


Hopefully someday I'll get my wish and I'll get to go to Italy!! :)

I'd also love to travel all across Europe! Someday...

Just Some Updates:

Addie now has 6 teeth in! She has 2 on the bottom and 4 on top :) and I think there is another one on top about to come in.

She also can say "dad-dad", "momma" and "hi!". She usually says "dad-dad" when she's happy, "momma" when she's upset and "hi" whenever she sees new people :) She's so cute!

Loren & I got our phone bill from AT&T from when he was in Greece.. It was $200 more then I thought. When Loren first left for Greece, I went to an AT&T store and asked about an temporary international plan. Well, Greece just so happened to be in an area were that plan wouldn't make any difference. So no matter what every minute would cost $1.27 and every text was .50 cents. So he only called a couple time for probably less then a minute and we'd text just here & there. Our bill is now $462.56!! Wow! lol.

Sadie is doing really good! We take her on walks with us and she doesn't even need a leash. We have one of those remote shock collar and it works great for her. I'm really impressed how good and well behaved she is. And I love that she listens to us when we call her name. Even if she sees something really interesting to her ;). That was one of our biggest problems with Guss. If he was out with us and off a leash, he'd run after the first thing he saw and ignore us calling him back. Ughh that was annoying! But luckily, Sadie's different. And she's really really good with the babies. Trenten loves to give people kisses and Sadie lets him give her kisses all the time :). They're best friends! I'm just so happy with her.

We went to a pumpkin patch on base today. It was fun. I didn't get any pictures.. I forgot my camera. But we all picked out a pumpkin. We probably wont carve them until next week. But that should be fun! I'll take pictures of that :). We're probably going to go to another one next weekend with Bill & Jana.

I ordered Addison's Halloween outfit the other day! Its Carter's Infant Chick Costume! It's so cute! I just wish all the girls could see her in it. Back story: since forever ago, Kristy has been known as Mother Hen and we're her "chicks". Andi is Chick A, Veronica is Chick V & I'm Chick K. So when we found out that I was pregnant with a Addie, we decided she'd be Chicklet A. And soon we'll have a Chicklet P (Peyton). Anyways, that's why I thought it would be cute for her to be a chicklet. Plus this costume is really cute! :) I can't wait 'til Halloween!


Here is a picture of the costume! It's so darn cute!

Nine Months Old

Addison had her 9 month appt. last Wednesday. She is 22lbs and 30 inches long! She is very tall for her age! She'll probably be taller then me by the time she's 10 ;). She is also very healthy. And we finally bought her a convertible car seat because she's out grown her original one..

She was wearing her new Halloween PJs. They say "So cute it's scary" :)

Vultures






So there were a TON of vultures out by our house on Friday! They were everywhere! I got a video of them (don't mind Lorens music lol) but there were even more in the sky behind us. Eww.. I felt like I was in "The Birds"..lol
