Curly Q

Adalynn is getting more and more hair everyday. Her hair seems to take after mine. Sometimes curly, sometimes straight, but always full of frizz. We had a pool day with some girls I work with yesterday. After we got home, Addy was worn out and took a good nap. When she woke up, this is what I found...




Look at that crazy curly hair! I'm sure the pool water and sunscreen had a lot to do with it.




Full of curls!


Since she has more hair now, I have been experimenting with putting bows in it. She looks so adorable. They fall out or she takes them out a lot. That doesn't stop me from trying though!

Oliver's Sweet Ride

Addy loves her cousin, Oliver. Ollie is 18 months old now. He has this pretty sweet ride that everyone calls his Muffin Truck. It plays the song "Do you know the Muffin Man." Adalynn loves to watch Ollie go on that thing. She doesn't spend too much time on the Muffin Truck herself because everyone knows how protective guys are of their cars, right?

Well, Ollie wasn't home one day when Nick had her over for a visit to Grandma's. So Little Miss Addy got to ride on the Muffin Truck, and boy was she proud!





Look at the excitement! No hands!








This is fun guys!

So, Nick's mom ended up buying another Muffin Truck once she saw how much Addy loved it too. The thing is, even though there are two now, they both want the same one. Crazy kiddos! :)

Daddy's Little Helper

There's no doubt about it. Adalynn loves her daddy. Wherever he is and whatever he is doing, she wants to be right there doing it too. Here are some of Addy and daddy's recent "projects."



Here is the duo putting together some shelving for our downstairs bathroom. You can see her holding a screwdriver if you look closely.




(Nick's face cracks me up here!) Addy received this little piggy bank from her Godmother (my best friend, Staci) for her birthday. Nick donated all the change to Addy's piggy bank fund that he had been collecting.




Like father, like daughter. Nick is a good saver. Better than me! ;) Maybe, Addy will take after him!

WALKING!!!

Yes, that's right! Addy is now walking. Well, maybe not walking walking. She takes 6-7 steps at a time after some coaxing from mommy and daddy. I know she will be all over the place in the next week or two though. Then, Nick and I will really be in trouble! So proud of our girl and can't believe how fast she is growing!

We are back in business!

Okay, so our computer got some crazy virus that pretty much crashed the whole thing. I have been without my precious internet for about a week. It has been rough! On the up side, I got a lot more done around the house! :) Anyway, I plan to have the posts rolling in! Yay for computers!!!

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!
