A Taste of Lime

So funny, Brody and I went to Olive Garden tonight after his b-ball game and got some dinner. I always get a lime in my diet coke. We thought we would see how Addy would like the taste of lime. Okay, we just wanted to see her make a funny face. She was so cute, not quite sure if she liked it. I put it in my drink after, and she wouldn't take her eyes off of it! I hope this doesn't make me a bad mom for thinking this was hilarious!!!

TWILIGHT

SO MUCH FUN!!! Shannon, her friend Kelly, Lyndsay, Kimi and her mom and I went to see "TWILIGHT" last night at the midnight showing. First we went and had breakfast at Village Inn, which by the way, we had terrible service and almost had to walk out without eating. But we were all so excited that it didn't ruin our night. We pre bought our tickets thank goodness. The movie was great, and I thought Rob Pattinson did a great job as EDWARD. He had really big shoes to fill :) The rest of the cast was great. Who'd of thought EMMETTwould have been so hot! Lyndsay and I were going ga ga over him. Lyndsay was the only one who had not read the book, so it was fun to get her perspective on everything. We have waited a long time for this movie to come out, and it was well worth it! Plus, it was a fun girls night out, even though I was so tired the next day. I can't wait for "NEW MOON" to come out, hopefully we all don't have to wait to long. I NEED MY EDWARD FIX!!!!

Blast from the Past

October 2006, I hosted a murder mystery night at our house. Our house was brand new, so I loved having get togethers with our friends. We invited, Kimi(aka Barbie Q), Russ(aka Dan Dragnet), Shannon(aka Peggy Sue), Wes(aka Chubby Cheddar), Lyndsay(aka Tiara Diamond), Garrett(aka Ivan Spudnik) and of course me(aka Bobby Sox) and Brody(aka Johnny Angel). It was one of the first times that the eight of us hung out. The theme of the the murder mystery was 1950's, everyone came in costume. I had prizes for the the best costume, and the winner of the mystery. Lyndsay won best costume, Kimi won the game. We ate hamburgers, and milk shakes and even listened to 50's music. We had so much fun that night. We should totally do another one. The eight of us have got to be such good friends since then. I am so happy to have all of them in my life. It's even funner now that we all have kids. These are some pictures that I found from that night.

Brody is Carlisle!!!!

Boring Life...

Sorry that I have nothing to post right now:( Since I have been back to work, I don't have time to do fun stuff with Addy and Brody anymore. I am lucky to even see Brody these days. Its hard. I will be back soon!

Bad Mommy!

So, am I a bad mommy because this is my babysitter? She can sit in front of the T.V. for hours! She loves to watch sports because it moves fast and there is a lot of color. It is seriously the only way I can clean the house or eat dinner! T.V. is the best babysitter ever!! I need to get some baby Einstein videos or something, then I won't feel so guilty letting her watch so much T.V. at such a young age. I can't help but laugh every time I walk by her watching. She looks like a little slug:)

Happy 3 Month Birthday Addyson!

Happy Birthday Brody!!!

Brody turned 27 on August 23. We had such a fun night! We went to dinner at Macaroni grill with Russ, Kimi and Beckham. ONE lady sang happy birthday to him in Italian (thanks to Kimi). Brody was so embarrassed. Anybody that knows Brody knows that he does not like attention brought to him, especially in a large crowd. It was so funny! After dinner we went bowling. We haven't bowled in a long time, so everybody kind of sucked it up. I only broke 100 once. It was fun taking the kids though. They loved cosmic bowling. Addy didn't know which way to look! It was so cute, and Beckham had fun with the florescent yellow bowling ball.

When we got home, Addy was so tired I just put her straight to bed. Then I gave him his birthday present. Not what you think, dirty minds... we got him a new xbox 360 headset!!! The old one broke. I think he liked it:)... Addy and I love you so much Brody, and hope your day was great! I couldn't ask for a better husband and father for Addy. Your the best!!!

Baby Blues...

I started back to work this week after having three and a half months off:( It has been so hard. I feel like Addy is going to forget me!!! She is starting to smile and coo, and do all sorts of fun things now. Of course, just when she starts getting REAL fun I have to go back to work. I get through the day by watching the clock for her feedings. She eats every 4 hours, so I know that in 2 feedings I get to come home:) It really does help! Luckily, she doesn't have to go to a daycare, Brody and I have worked it out to be with her Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Friday we might have Russ (Kimi's husband) watch her for a few hours until Brody can get home, and Saturday my parents will have her. They can't wait!!! I am trying to find something to do from home. if anyone has any ideas, let me know. For all you moms that have to go back to work after having a baby...... IT SUCKS!!! I miss her every second!!!

Addy's Blessing

What a wonderful day! Addy was blessed today by her great grandpa. It was so emotional, in a good way. I have been to tons of baby blessings, but when it's your own baby, WOW, it just hits a different spot. After the blessing we all went to my Nana's and Pa's (Addy's great Nana and Pa) house for some yummy cake and punch. It was so nice to have all the support and love from my family and friends. Addy is already so blessed to have so many people in her life that love her so much. Thank you again to everyone, who made it a special day for her.

Beckham and Addy's First Date!

So Kimi and I took the kids and went to breakfast at Ruth's diner. Which by the way, if you have never been there, I totally recommend it. We went early and sat on the patio. It was so beautiful and not hot at all. I almost needed a jacket. After breakfast, we met Katie and her son Brayden, her sister and her daughter Kennedy , at the zoo for the very first time, for Beckham and Addy. Addy pretty much slept the whole time, but Beckham was so cute! He really couldn't see things that weren't moving like elephants and rinos, but he loved the monkey's! It was so fun watching him watch them move around. He had a blast! I know that the kids are kind of young to go to the zoo, but I think this trip was 10% for the kids and 90% for the mommys (we like to take there pictures at different places). I can't wait to go again next year. What a fun tradition!

Boating

Brody and Addy taking a nap while we were boating at Pineview with the Bayles family this weekend. We had so much fun!!! Addy looked so cute in her little swimsuit. To bad she didn't even get in the water once.

Jenn, Kimi and the babes

Kimi and I do A LOT together. We have a blast just the two of us, but since we have had kids, its even MORE fun!!! This is us at one of my baby showers, the forth of July parade, and just recently boating.

Not so sure

Chloe isn't sure about Addy. She has been our baby for five years, so having to take a backseat to Addy has been hard for here. She does like to lick the top of Addy's head . Either Chloe wants to eat her, or she is starting to like her.

Addy's first bath

We had a long day of visiting relatives on Father's Day so Addy was real cranky. So I decided to give her a bath when we got home before I put her down to bed. SHE LOVED IT!!! Her feet barley touched the water and she stopped screaming and got real big eyes. She is getting so big.

Bringing Addy Home

It was a rough start, but we made it!!! Addyson J. was born on May 27, 2008. She was 5 pounds 4 ounces, three weeks early. Her due date was June 18. I was in the middle of my very first baby shower when I started bleeding real, real bad. We rushed to the hospital and ended up staying the next ten days! I had placenta abruption. I was on bed rest the rest of the pregnancy. On top of all that, I started to get toxemia, which meant I got to be induced. I had a fourteen hour labor and ended up having a c-section. They thought I was going to deliver the placenta first, which could harm or even kill the baby. The doctor had her out in ten minutes. This is Addy getting ready to come home from the hospital at a whopping 4 pounds 14 ounces. She is worth every minute of all that pain and stress!!!
