Tonight, we are expecting several inches of snow so last night we dressed for the occasion at December/January family birthdays at Cindy & John's house!

I had a great cake and received a very special necklace from my brother and his family! Mom & Dad got me a new bedroom comforter, curtains and mom helped paint my office and new guest bedroom the weekend of my birthday! Jane and Joe got me great new curtains for my office, Aimee & family got me gift cards for paint and Lori & John got me a great new laptop bag! I'm all set and it was the best birthday thus far!

Christmas Con't- 2010

2011-01-09T17:27:00.004-06:00

Christmas Eve was spent as tradition at The Moore's home and Addy even felt like mopping the floor at the end of the night! She loves to clean! It's so funny and she can't stay a "mess"!

On Christmas Day we spent the day with Brian's family but unfortunately he was in charge of the camera and I have like 2 pictures that are not so great and we didn't even get a family picture on Christmas Day! We'll do better this year for Christmas 2011!

One more of Brooke's favs...

Addyson is 18 months!

2010-08-16T14:19:00.001-05:00

Yesterday Addyson had her 18 month photo session with the once again amazing Brooke Kelly Photography and I have to say these are my FAVORITE yet. Miss Addyson is a ham for the camera and I love the clothing choices. It was so hard to decide what outfits to take but I think these are PERFECT! These are a few from my sneak peek blog on Brooke's website. I'll post more favs when I get my CD in few days.

Also great news, we got a new computer! I'll soon start uploading our summer pictures from vacation, 4th of July & Mom's Birthday weekend in Memphis!

Easter 2010- we started out at Poppy & Donna's church with the whole family, then had a wonderful lunch at Demo's and then headed to their house to hunt eggs! Addyson was overwhelmed since Gran had 80+ eggs to hunt! After that we went to Brian's aunt's house for more egg hunting and a birthday celebration and then ended the day at Nonna & Papo's for a great Easter dinner! Today was a blast and Addyson was so cute hunting the eggs! She just melts our hearts and we are so very blessed! We hope everyone had a fabulous, fun-filled Easter with their family and friends!

We can't wait until next Sunday to hunt more Easter Eggs!!

Addyson's mommy loves holiday clothing a little to much! Us redheads also have a little temper too and Miss Addyson showed us hers when opening her card that morning when we took it away because she was glittering our living room! We hope everyone had a wonderful St. Patrick's Day and celebrated by wearing our favorite color GREEN!

As I have said before, I just LOVE this time of the year! Growing up my mother always had many Christmas trees (usually 6-8 BIG trees in our house) and I just think the more the merrier! This year we have 3 goregous trees thanks to some help to my mom and sister-in-law! Our new mantel is up (thanks to my wonderful hubby & brother) and it looks fabulous! Just in time to hang our new stockings! We are really enjoying our new home and cannot wait to host many Christmas parties to come in our new home! More pics to soon...

Annual Fall Family Getaway

2009-10-19T19:10:00.002-05:00

This past weekend, we went to Townsend, TN (near the Smoky Mtns) with Brian's family for our Annual Fall Family Getaway! It was just 5 short years ago this weekend when Brian popped the big question!

Being Addyson 1st year, we had to take lots of pictures to document her first mountain vacation. Addyson had a great time and learned to crawl forward on her Papo's birthday on Saturday! We had a great time as always and it was nice just to sit back and relax and shop a little at the outlets!

They are too cute! Addyson loved the bear immediately and we captured it all on camera at Nona & Papo's! Thanks Anita for always being so sweet! We are all very blessed to have you in our lives!

We don't go out that much since Addyson came along so I think I cleaned up quite nicely.... enjoy a few pics of Addy and I before I left.

Addy's 1st Trip to Vandy

2009-09-14T13:09:00.003-05:00

Today our sweet little Addyson had ear tubes put in at Vanderbilt Children's Hospital. The procedure was very quick (10 mins tops) and she was the perfect patient. She laughed and smiled at all the doctors and nurses! She never cried until after the procedure and she wanted her milk. Hopefully the ear tubes will help solve the ear infection problem that we've been facing since she started daycare 2 months ago. Here's a few pics of our happy little patient this morning!

Week 29- I'm a BIG GIRL!

2009-09-14T13:06:00.002-05:00

Week 29- Addy trying to be a BIG GIRL by holding herself up! Won't be long until she's mobile!

Addy Bear's 6 month check...just a few weeks late!

2009-09-08T16:28:00.003-05:00

Today, we finally made it to Addyson's 6 month check-up. Once again, she was a BIG girl and took her shots like a pro! She weighed about 16lbs and was 25 3/4 inches long! WOW, how time flies and how much she has grown. She's been pulling at her ear...AGAIN and sure enough she had another left ear infection again; however, her tubes are scheduled for next Monday at Vanderbilt so hopefully after that we'll have no more ear infections for awhile. I'm praying that mommy will be okay for the tubes on Monday :(

Addy just loved the paper at the doctor's office....it's her new favorite toy! Here's a pic from last night with her cheeks all rosey and a little sick and then two from today's doctors visit. She's a big girl now....we are up to #2 baby foods now for a variety! Yippee :)

We're Moving!

2009-09-02T12:19:00.003-05:00

We (well Karen our lovely "patient" real estate agent/Brian's aunt)finally found the house of our dreams and we are moving October 26th! We have searched long and hard and finally found a wonderful house to move to! It's in Sunset Harbour in Mount Juliet.... I think we were determined to move to that subdivision since it's so close to the lake and so close to Neill, Amy & Baby Lalaina. We just love the area!

Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers in our house search. We are so happy that we finally found a wonderful house and sold our house so quickly!

Emily was sneaky and took Gran to the bathroom and we got the waiter to sing "Happy Birthday" once they returned! It was great...mom was so surprised and the Lemon Cream Cake was devine! We gave her a special birthday surprise that consisted of Wicked play tickets & dinner with me on Sept 13th! It'll be a great night out with Candace & her mom to celebrate our wonderful mother's b-days! Happy Birthday Gran! I hope this is year the best! We love you!

More pics from her 6 month shoot

2009-08-15T12:25:00.003-05:00

I am so in love with Addyson's 6 month pictures made by Brooke Kelly. We received the CD yesterday with all the pictures and I cannot decide on which ones are my favorite. We love them all! The hand-made blanket was made with love by Gran! Addyson loves it and will cherish it for many years when she's learning her A, B, C's. Matt & I both had A, B, C blankets and I still use mine today when at Gran & Pa's napping! Thanks again Gran for the amazing blanket and thanks to Brooke for yet again amazing us with her talent!

More pictures from Amy's Baby Shower today!

Amy's sister Emily made cakes that were so yummy! Mom did the flowers and they turned out so pretty too! All the food was wonderful and Amy got lots of goodies for baby Lalaina! I made the diaper cake and Brian added a few bibs (They said "My daddys a hottie and My Daddy Rocks!) He thought Neill needed this since we were give some for a shower too and they are Brian's favorite bibs for Addyson. Addy feel asleep on Nonna during the shower, she was worn out from all the fun! Amy looks amazing....You cannot even tell she's pregnant except for her small basketball belly! One month to go! Yippee :)

Amy's Baby Shower

2009-07-26T19:46:00.005-05:00

Today I co-hosted a baby shower for Amy Unland with her sister and sister-in-law. It was a huge success and everyone had a wonderful time! Addyson was the best little girl and she looked adorable...even though I guess I'm a little partial! Brian, Addy and I cannot wait for Lalaina to arrive. Brian & Neill are 1st cousins that are 6 months apart and they are best friends too! We cannot wait for Addyson & Lalaina to grow up together being best friends and 2nd cousins! They will 6 months apart too!

Congrats Amy & Neill! We are so excited for you both and cannot wait to start this next chapter in our lives together! We'll be rookie parents together :)

New Toy from Daddy

2009-07-15T20:21:00.002-05:00

Today I asked Brian to go to Target to get Addyson a "little" jumperoo since she loves the one a school so much and this is what he came back with...... He got a really "nice" jumperoo that plays music, lights up and has lots of toys! Addyson loves it already! She's so happy bouncing up and down! Way to go, Daddy!

Week 20- Sick Baby

4th of July Weekend

2009-07-06T15:50:00.003-05:00

The weekend of July 4th was filled with fun and cook-outs! We started out at Brian's Aunt Virginia's for the Burns Family Reunion Saturday afternoon, then off to swim with Aunt Candace and then to my Aunt Darlene's that night for our annual cook-out and fireworks! Wow! What a day! Addyson was such a trooper and did so good! She slept from one place to the next and didn't miss a beat! Addy didn't like swimming much but hopefully next time the water will be a little warmer and she'll like it more! We finished the 4th at Gran & Pa's and stayed 2 nights. Today, we stopped in Southern Traditions to see Gran on our way home and Addyson decided to stand on Uncle Dale's counter to have her picture made. She's so darn cute! Hope everyone had a fabulous 4th of July weekend!

2009-06-28T20:20:00.002-05:00

This weekend we headed to McMinnville to see my dear friend Tina (Hendrix) Wolf who was home from Texas. We miss her so much and had so much fun playing with her yesterday. Since Tina won't be home again until Thanksgiving, we had to have Addyson's Week 18 with her. We can't wait for her next visit! We love our Aunt Tina!

I know I've not been so good about posting Addyson's week by week pictures. The transition back to work has been great but also very busy. Here are the week by weeks from the past month....I'll try to do better about getting the pics posted weekly or maybe bi-monthly! As you can see she is growing like a weed! More candid pics to come...maybe tomorrow :)
