Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to everyone!

My dad is a wonderful dad! He always told me how much he loved me. I could talk to him about a lot when I was growing up (not everything, some things I saved for mom :) ). But, a lot more than some girls could. My dad is the hardest working person I know. His work ethic inspires me. He still always had time to be at every ball game and special event we had. That's pretty amazing since he had 4 kids! I am so thankful for my wonderful dad!

Now, onto Addy's daddy! She is one lucky little girl! He would definitely do anything for her. Seeing how great he is with her, makes me fall more in love with him everyday. I know that as she grows up, he will continue to tell her how special she is, how much he loves her, and be there for her whenever she needs him. We are truly blessed to have such wonderful men in our lives. It is something we will never take for granted.

Just wanted to hop on real quick before church for a short Father's Day post. I did not forget about my blog. We have just been super busy lately. I have lots to share so stay tuned! :)

Memorial Day Weekend

We had such a fun weekend! On Friday, I must have been wiped out from school and the heat because I went to bed at 6:30 pm! Thanks to Nick for taking care of Addy and getting her to bed for me. Sometimes, sleeping is my idea of fun. :)

Saturday we woke up early and went out to breakfast. Then headed to Toys R Us and the new TJ Maxx in Clarksville. I found some cute things! Love that place! After Miss Adalynn napped, we headed to the Strawberry Festival in Starlight. That evening, we headed to the Riverbats Game. We had an indoor box through Nick's work. It was so nice to keep Adalynn in the shade and air conditioning while still watching the game.

On Sunday, we went to church and out to lunch with my fam. Then, we were off to Patoka Lake with Nick's brother, Corey, and his girlfriend, Cheryl. I was nervous as to how Adalynn would handle it. It was a scorcher. We were using my parents camper though. So, at least we had some AC. We went to Patoka's beach, cooked out, and had a camp fire. Adalynn fell asleep at her usual time and did just fine. However, it must have been really exhausting for her because she was a grouchy little lady yesterday and today.

So that was our action packed weekend. All that fun and no pictures to share! I kept forgetting my camera! Promise to post some soon though!

I just came across some pictures I had taken a few weeks ago that I had forgotten to upload. They were cracking me up, so I wanted to share.

Adalynn was having fun getting all sudsy.

Adalynn's Mawmaw got her this swing for Easter. She has been having so much fun swinging in the backyard. Our little lady LOVES being outside!

Here's our girl in action...










Once she starts, she doesn't want to stop! :)

Addy's first birthday party!

Adalynn's 1st birthday was so much fun. Here are some pictures from her special day!

CAKE TIME!

Mmmmm...

She even shared with mommy!

"I can't believe you guys are actually letting me do this!"

Her daddy and I are just so blessed! I still can't believe my baby is 1! I did get a little emotional on her actual birthday. That's what mommies do though, right? :)

Happy 1st Birthday Adalynn Grace!

We celebrated our precious baby girl's 1st birthday today! We had her party on Sunday, and then another little family get together tonight. We have had so much fun over the past few days. I can't wait to share pictures. I tried to upload some just now, but my Internet connection is deciding to not cooperate. It did let me upload the one below though. I have the next few days off after tomorrow so I will be sure to post them soon.

Happy 1st birthday Adalynn Grace! Mommy and daddy love you so very much. Keep smiling that beautiful smile, baby girl!

poor baby

My poor baby is sick! She has been congested ever since last Monday. I thought it was just a pesky cold that wouldn't go away, but then she started running a fever. She was still her normal, happy self. Although she was sleeping a little more than usual. I regretted not taking her to the Dr. on Saturday. We had to wait until Monday to go. I was convinced she had an ear infection because she started getting super cranky. Especially right before bedtime. On Monday, she was so clingy, I couldn't even get us ready to go to the Dr. Needless to say, we rolled into her pediatrician looking pretty scary.

The Dr. looked in her ears and said both looked great. Then, she looked in her throat and let me take a look. It was all red and swollen and had these blister-like sores all inside. My poor baby! She even had a couple of teeny tiny red bumps around her mouth that I hadn't even noticed until the Dr. pointed them out. She said she had a virus called herpangina. Weird name, I know. It's not related to the herpes virus though, I googled it. :) Anyway, since it's a virus, they couldn't do anything about it. She just said it would clear up on its own and to keep her hydrated. I felt so sad that there was nothing that could be done to help my poor girl feel better.

I feel so sorry for her. The Dr. said it causes a lot of pain and decreases appetite. I haven't noticed that so much though. I've been alternating between giving her Tylenol and Motrin to help her with pain. I hope she gets better soon! She does seem to be feeling a little better last night and today, but her rash has spread.
