Last night we went to the barristers

ball. These are not the greatest

pictures of me, but i forgot my camera

so the will have to do! This is what

happens when drunk people take my

picture. Which then brings me to my

description of the ball, a mini high

school prom with a bar. Everyone

was extremely intoxicated which made for a few good laughs but after an 1 1/2 hours we felt we

had our fill and decided to go see a midnight movie. Our little muffin had a sleepover with her

pseudo grandma Laurie. She loves Laurie and is always very good for her! I always appreciate

the break. Its great for both of us!


And please forgive my hair... it was a rainy day with intense humidity!!!

Addie update

an Addie update:

Addie is so much fun. I am really enjoying this age (20 months). It seems to just get better and better the older she gets. With all of my friends having babies, it does make me feel like I want another but at the same time i can't picture myself going back to the newborn phase. I am sure I will be ready in about two years...




Addie is:

*She is constantly picking up new words daily

*She still loves books and will sit and listen to 4 or 5 books at a time

*She has done really well in nursery

*She loves playing with Hailey and Jack

*She is still a really good eater and will try just about anything

*she loves to twirl and walk on her tip toes

*She loves rock n roll... and if anything with a rock n roll beat comes on she goes wild!

*She still dances on command

*She is obsessed with Yo gabba gabba (show, books, coloring books, clothing, hair pins etc)

*She loves to play dress up and is constantly adding to her outfit throughout the day

*She loves purses

*She likes to close doors... a little ocd

*she is terrible at taking naps, but doesn't mind just hanging out in her crib reading books

*when she gets too tired she lays down with her little bum in the air and fake snores (literally anywhere we are i.e. the middle of walmart)

*She is obsessed with the little quarter machines in the front of the stores

*she has no fear of taking off on her own and doesn't even get phased when i pretend to leave her (this is a fun one)




I love this picture------> sound asleep!




and one more thing....

GO DUKE! We really hope they make it to the final four!!!!!

Dunes Village!

Spring break 2009!!! Woooo!



We just got back from Myrtle beach South Carolina. It was such a fun break! We drove down with our friend Melanie and her little boy Jack in our car and caravan-ed with the Mills. We played a little on the sand but it was windy so we spent most of our time inside, but we were able to spend just enough time on the beach for Addie to overcome her fear of sand. When we first walked out onto the beach she got really excited and kept yelling "Snow! Snow!" but still wouldn't walk on it barefoot. But by the end she was keeping up with her two little buddies.

Spending time inside wasn't a bad thing though, the hotel we stayed at had awesome indoor water slides and kids' play areas. It was a lot of fun and we loved getting to know Melanie and the Mills better! The hotel was perfect, and Addie couldn't get enough of the water slides and playing with Jack and Hailey!
