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!!!
