easter egg hunt #1

Last weekend, Addi was invited to an Easter Egg hunt!  Since she wasn't even sitting up last year at this time, this was her first REAL egg hunt.  She had an absolute blast!  It was a very windy afternoon, but that didn't stop her...it just blew her over a few times!  Thanks for thinking of us Hud and Raegan!


Addi and MO swinging in the wind down by the pond.

"I don't need you to carry me dada.  I can walk up this hill in the wind!"

Back up by the house, the girls thought it would be fun to play with the rocks.

MO: Addi, come on and sit down by me.  These rocks are like colors...you can draw with them!
Addi: Okay, let me go find a rock to color with!

Addi: Alright, I picked one out.  I'm coming to sit by you!

Addi: MO! I think I found some Easter Eggs in this basket!  Come here!
MO: Addi! I think you might get in trouble if you get them out!
Addi: What?  Oh, we can't play with these yet?  Okay, I'll leave them alone then.

"I found a football!   This thing is hard to carry!"

"I'm going to throw it!"


"Dada, let's run with the football!"


"This place is so much fun!  These kids are crazy!"

"Man it's windy!  I don't care though! It can't stop me...It's Egg Huntin' time!!!"

"Come on dada! Don't let anyone get in front of us!  GO FASTER!!"


"I found one!!!"

"Now what?"

"Oh I put them in the basket?  Well that makes sense!"

"I see more!  Come this way!"

"Look at all of my eggs mama!!"

"You mean there's stuff inside these eggs?  This is GREAT!"

 "Let's go find more eggs..."

As you can tell, Addi had so much fun hunting Easter Eggs.  She has two more hunts this year and now she's had some practice.  Thanks again to our sweet friends for inviting us!

appetizer at the park

We rushed home from work and school  so we could go to the park before dinner.  Addi wanted to take a little snack with us so she could have an appetizer at the park!

"Mama this snack is really good!" 

 "Okay mama...I'm ready to play now!"

 "I'm not sure what to do first..."

 "...I pick the slide!"

 "Mama!  Are you ready for me?

Mama: "Addi what's your favorite thing to do at the park?"

Addi: "Ummm...let me see...."

"...I LOVE the slide!"
 

Here I Come!

 "Now let's swing Mama!"

"This is Awesome!!"

So much fun at the park...oh yeah, the appetizer was yummy too!

because you asked - mack's

The things mom's pick up on amaze me!  Since I've posted a few bath pictures recently, I've had so many of you ask about Addi's earplugs!  As most of you know, she had tubes in her ears last October and our doctor recommended wearing plugs to keep them dry.  In the beginning we tried a few different brands before finding Mack's.  They've worked really well for us.  I think I bought the last package at Target but I know CVS has them too.  Here is what the package looks like:

I store Addi's in a contact case so there are seperate compartments for Left and Right.  Hope this helps!

band of love

Addi became so interested in the headband I was wearing around the house.  She has never been one to leave anything in her hair so this was monumental!  I put it on her and she wore it around the house for over an hour and didn't even touch it once.  She loved wearing that headband!

"Look at me!  Too bad I don't have enough hair to actually need a headband."

"Puppy, do you like my headband?"

"Where's Bailey Bear? I want to show her my headband." 

"I see her!  I think she's hiding from me..."

"Maybe if I stand here and look cute, she'll come back."

"Nope.  Guess she didn't recognize me in the headband.  I'd better take it off so she'll come back inside!"





I took several pictures of Addi standing at the window looking for Bailey,
but I would say, this is my "Money Shot"...it's by far my favorite!
