Busy Monday

Me and Addi have been from pillar to pole today! We ran so many errands today it was insane. And Addi was so amazing the whole day! Everyone kept commenting on how well behaved she was and the poor thing needed a nap so bad, but she was so good! I just love her!

So yeah, we went to the fair grounds to pick up our Duck Duck Goose check, I sold the jogging stroller, don't judge!!! Haha. We went to Michaels, Hobby Lobby, Stitchin Post, Target then Kroger. Ummm I am worn out and I can't wait till the weather gets cooler so it will be more pleasant when were outside!

Here are a couple of Addi pics. Today marks the start of her birthday week and so her outfits this week will be in the theme of her birthday (pink and green). Am I crazy? Probably. :)



When we were checking out at Target, our cashier who was a teenage boy told us we needed to put Addi in a Gerber baby contest. He then told me he was a gerber baby when he was little and he had the certificate to prove it! I guess I looked questionable about that statement! Haha!




I am starting to get really excited about this weekend! I finally have Addi's shirt figured out and I'm looking forward to seeing everyone!!!

Hope y'all had a great day!!!

Our Weekend

I can't believe I haven't blogged since Wednesday!!! Oh I miss it, but don't worry I'm about to overload you with pictures from this weekend. Haha!

Friday

Our good friends Janelle and Hadley came over to play! Hadley is about 4 months older than Addi and they always have a great time together. Hadley lives in Tulsa now so we were so glad to see them!!!





We went and had lunch with Josh at Hanaroo later on. Both of the girl's were needing a nap and were CRAZY! They were just at that point where they were so tired they were trying to stay as busy as possible! It was a hilarious lunch to say the least!



Later that night, around midnight, Addi decided to wake up and join us for a late night grilled cheese!



Saturday

Saturday morning, Josh made crepes for breakfast! They were delicious!


We watched the Hogs game while Addi napped. It was too close and we were starting to get nervous so Josh told me to go get Addi and put her in a hogs outfit! Haha!

Addi must be a good luck charm because we WON!!!! Yay!


After the game, we went to sweet Weston's first birthday party!!!





After the party, we went back to the house and got ready real quick to head to Texarkana. Addi was so good the whole way and just watched her movie and ate her snacks. We are blessed to have a great traveler! When we got to Texarkana, we met Mur and Granddad at Dixie Diner for some dinner.

When we got home, I tried to put Addi down to go to sleep, but she was not having it. She just kept pointing at the door and crying, like please I know there is stuff going on down there! Haha! So what did we do? Well, we let her stay up till 10 and let her get into whatever she wanted. They weren't kidding when they said grandparents are meant for spoiling! Haha!


That night was....horrible. Addi went to sleep at 10:30, woke up at 1 and then didn't go back to sleep until 4:30!!!! I tried everything, rocking her, laying down with her, even letting her try to cry it out, nothing worked until finally she just got to the point where she was exhausted. Anyways, so we were both pretty cranky the next morning! Haha! She did look pretty cute for church though!


After church and lunch, I tried again to put Addi down for a nap. Same thing, she didn't want to go to sleep even though she was rubbing her eyes and yawning. What a little stinker. Anyways, so we headed to Whitney's baby shower!!! She got tons of cute little boy things and her shower was just the cutest thing ever! Cade's room is western themed so her shower was done up in all things western.




Addi made a new little friend at the shower.
(My camera was on a weird setting for some reason, that's why this pic looks strange.)


We left the shower and I decided to go ahead and come back home. I was terrified Addi wasn't going to sleep again and I have a lot to get done this week. It was fun seeing everyone and we always love visiting Mur and Granddad! Addi slept the entire way home which was good, she needed a nap so bad! It was a little difficult getting her to go to bed last night, but we finally got her down AND she slept till 9:30 this morning! Yay for sleep!

Hope y'all had a great weekend!!!!!

Happiness Is...

Eating waffles on the back porch this morning.




A curious baby, soon to be toddler!


Going to an early consignment sale for sure I would have to wait in line for hours, only to wait for 5 minutes AND get two new pairs of precious shoes!




Oh and bonus, Addi was an absolute angel while I shopped! Just smiled and looked at all the people! So sweet.

Hope y'all had a great day!!!

Goodies

First, here is Addi's birthday invite! Her party theme is pink, green and giraffe print so I think these match perfectly! I had them done by Anita at Piece of Pope. She is so easy to work with and we will definitely be doing our Christmas cards there too!

I cropped out our address and my phone number at the bottom, but they are on a 5x7 photo paper.

Second, sweet Sarah watched Addi for me today while I went and ran some errands. We are going to start switching out watching each other's kid's while the other runs errands. I think it's going to work out great and Addi just loves Weston! From what I hear, they played very well together! Weston comes to visit us on Thursday, I really need him to teach Addi how to walk! Haha!

Third, I hit up Rhea Lana's this afternoon! I got some pretty good deals, but I am most excited about going to Duck Duck Goose on Wednesday. I consigned some things so I get to shop early! Yay!




Fourth, we got Addi's proofs back today! Kendy did an AMAZING job and I highly recommend her!
To view them, go to http://www.kendyschimmel.com/index2.php Click on proofing in the bottom right hand corner. The password is Addison! We just died over how cute they were!

Oh and here is an Addi pic from today, just in case those weren't enough! Haha!


Hope y'all had a great day!!!

Fun Weekend

We had a great weekend! It was busy, as usual, but fun! On Saturday, Scott and J and all the kids were in LR for various games so they stopped by for a little bit. Josh took Addi to Emma's volleyball game, while I went with his grandma to this store called the Stichin Post. More on that later! Anyways, so at the volleyball game, Josh said for the first 20 minutes, Addi was really freaked out! He said she was really scared that people were getting hurt, since the girl's were yelling and balls were flying around! It cracks me up that she is already sensitive to things like that! She is such a sweet baby! Here is Addi in the razorback dress I made her!


Anyways, so me and Fran went to the Stichin Post, which is this sewing shop right by our house. First, how did I not know about this wonderful WONDERFUL store?! They carry all the Michael Miller fabrics I'm obsessed with right now, plus they have tons of smocking patterns and just lots of different fabrics and cute trims. So, we went there because Fran has an older model monogram machine that we have no clue how to use and the fonts and stuff just aren't cute. Basically, instead of buying a new machine, which was going to run us about $6,000, we just upgraded hers! We got a new program for the machine, which has tons of cute fonts and embroidery things, and a reader writer card so we can transfer stuff from the internet onto the machine! I am BEYOND excited about this! We have to wait for the reader writer to come in (they were out), but once it gets here, it's ON!!! Haha!

Also on Saturday, me, Josh, his dad, grandpa and Dustin went to the Razorback game! It was pretty hot at first, but cooled down once the sun set. It was a fun game despite the Hogs playing terrible!



On Sunday, me and Addi traveled to Jonesboro to have her one year pictures made! I should get the proofs tomorrow, and I cannot wait to see them! Addi is a natural model, just held every pose and looked at the camera alot. There was also a little birthday cake smashing action, which was hilarious! We set the cake in front of her and Addi took her little fingers and was just lightly touching the cake, then all of a sudden shoved both hands in the cake and just started munching! It was hilarious! Her tummy was a little upset afterwards, I think that was the worst diaper I've ever changed! Haha!

Hope y'all had a great weekend!!!!

Addi's Date at the Park

Today, me and Addi met up with Addi's future boyfriend, Weston. Weston is three days older than Addi and he is just precious!!! Him and Addi always have a great time together and it was so cute, when they saw each other they both just grinned from ear to ear! So sweet! We went to the park at Lake Willastein in Maumelle, and just walked around for a bit, then let the babies play. Weston, will you please teach Addi how to walk? :)





Thanks for a fun afternoon, Sarah and Weston!

Oh and I made these tonight, they are called brownie pillow cookies. Oh. My. Word. These are AMAZING. They are basically a chocolate chip cookie with a brownie in the middle! I posted the recipe here. Make them soon please!


Also, I'm so happy it's the weekend! We have a fun and busy weekend planned! Some of Josh's family is coming down and we have ballgames Saturday morning, a festival to benefit Juvenile Diabetes at Fresh market in the afternoon, tailgating at the Hogs game, HOPEFULLY going to the game, church Sunday morning and a consignment sale Sunday afternoon!

Hope y'all have a great weekend!!!
