birthday party and picnic

I met a friend of mine through blogging and it turnes out, she lives right here in Norman!  What a small world!  Amanda's little princess turnes ONE today and we were so lucky to be invited to her party last weekend!

Happy Birthday TODAY Miss Lucy!!

She had the perfect cupcake party...aren't these invitations just darling?

Look at that HUGE cupcake smashcake!  Addi kept a close eye on that thing!  Since the smash cake was all for Miss Lucy, we had a small cupcake and it was so yummy!

Here's the birthday girl!

I'm telling you, the cupcake was HUGE!  I didn't realize that it was covering Lucy's face in this picture...oops!

Super fun party decorations!  Amanda did a great job on Lucy's party!

Addi really liked the pink swimming pool that Lucy got. 

She sat in it while Lucy opened some of her presents!

"Mama, she has her boppy in!"

MO was at the party too and this was the best picture I got of the three of them. 

These are three very busy little girls!

After the party, Addi and I picked up some Chick-fil-A and went back over to campus for a picnic.  We ate our chicken (and dippie!) by the Union and the she begged to find more "waaaader".  There was a fountain close by so I took her to one that she had not been to before.  She thought it was so cool!  She really wanted to climb up on top of the rocks...thank goodness she couldn't quite get up there!

She also loved exploring in the monkey grass...finding bug-bugs and rocks!

On our way back to the car we stopped on Campus Corner to cool off. 

She loved this little bench outside Antique Garden.

 

We walked over to Harold's Square to do a little window shopping at Tiny Tulips...

And she found so many cute things!

Addi discovered an old telephone booth outside of Tulips.  She thought it was just the best thing ever!  She loved standing inside and looking at me through the glass.  Such a silly girl!

And of course she loved squishing her face agains the glass too!

Then she discovered the steps at Tulip's!  She ran up and down no less than 20 times!  I was worn out just watching her little legs go!

  

We finally told the old phone booth bye-bye and headed for the car. 

  

I intended on taking Addi to the park for the last night of Jazz in June, but after the birthday party and our adventures at OU and Campus Corner, I was exhausted!  We headed home for a quick bath and cup of milk before bedtime.  I forgot to mention that before the birthday party, we went to a Matilda Jane trunk show at my friend Saradee's house and I got Addi the cutest outfit for this fall!!! I can't wait for it to come in!

swimming, swimming, blah, blah, blah...

I know you all must be getting so board with my swimming posts, but that seams to be the highlight of our weekends now...another fun afternoon at the swimming pool! 

(And another cute swimsuit debut!)

This girl LOVES splashing with her Daddy!

Happy Swimming!

Scott's golf tournament was all weekend long, so Addi and I were being creative with our time.  We ended up over by campus so we got out to run around and enjoy the weather.  She thought she owned the place! 

 There are not many pictures of Addi where I think she looks like my baby pictures, but in these two, I get just a tiny glimps of me...

 And then she gives me this face, and she looks JUST LIKE HER DADDY!!

 She wanted to go inside Holmberg Hall SO BAD!  She didn't understand why the doors were locked! 

 To get her mind off NOT getting into Holmberg, I promised her we would go find some water! 

I love this little fountain right behind Evans Hall (which is where I work). 

It's actually a dog fountain named in memory the President and Mrs. Boren's dog Bailey!

Oh did she love splashing in the water!  I didn't get a picture, but a one point she was standing in the lower level of water so she could reach the top waterfall! She was almost knee deep!  Her dress was soaked all along the bottom and the three small waterfalls were flowing right down the front of her dress! 

She was a wet mess and having a ball! 

 In an effort to help her dry off a little bit, I coaxed her back into the stroller with some Cheerios!  Mommy wasn't thinking and walked right past THIS huge water fountain.  We just had to stop so Addi could get her fingers wet.  I didn't really get any good pictures up close to the fountain because she was on her belly reaching in the whole time!  I just knew she was going to fall face first into the water. 

She was loving every minute of splashing around!

 

 Finally she just wanted to run free and thankfully it was windy so she dried out before we got back in the car!

  

We decided to go back to Jazz in Juuuuuuune for a second night of fun.  I got her in the stroller and from the time we left the car to the time we made it to the stage area, she was sound asleep!  Being the Big Girl on Campus is hard work!  I hung out there for a while and let her snooze.  She woke up after about a 30 minute nap.  She wasn't quite as lively as the night before, but we still enjoyed the music.

Until next year...bye bye Jazz in Juuuuuuune!!
