Grayson's Blessing Weekend

{June 4 ,2011}

We had such a fun weekend when Grayson got blessed. We were so lucky to have everyone on both sides of our families join us up north.

Saturday night we decided to have a BBQ with everyone and let the kids run wild. It was great food and great company! Thanks everyone for coming!!!

Nick the "Grill Master"

Check out his shirt.....he picked it up on the way to our house...haha Oh Nicholas :)

Cupcakes!!!

Miss Addison is pretty much obsessed with chocolate, but only will eat the frosting off of cupcakes.

I cant resist that chocolate smile though :)

These pictures crack me up! Brynlee and Addison love playing together! We like to say they fight like sisters one minute and play like best friends the next! They remind me of me and Jessie when we were little!

Cute Cousins

Yes, that is her sneaky face! She totally found someones cupcake and started licking the frosting off!! Little stinker!

Love my crazy girl!

Ryker, Stef, and Cindy

First Smiles :)

{May 2011}

Boo Boo (as Miss A likes to call him) started really smiling at 4 weeks old.

*You may find most these pictures off center......just picture me behind the camera acting like a nerd trying to get him to smile, while Miss Addie is behind him wondering what in the world I am doing!

Getting there.....

Love that little cheeser

So Tired.....

May 2011

Apparently being a Big Sister can really tire a girl out!

And a couple of my favorite little man, just cause.....

Chicken Pox?...................

Looks like it doesn't it? Nope.....Miss A came down with a weird case of Folliculitis!

Ever heard of it?!? I hadn't either.

It looks an awful lot like Chicken Pox and even fooled her doctor until they wouldn't go away. After having these spots for almost two weeks and getting more and more of them we took Addie back in and they said it was Folliculitis. It's and inflammation of your hair follicles which results in pimple looking spots all over. Apparently when you have eczema (which Miss A does), and she had broken out with some eczema on her right clavicle area, the more you take hot baths and use things like bubble bath you can just irritate the eczema more and more which can result in Folliculitis. Needless to say poor Miss A is not allowed to use bath bubbles anymore!

First Outing....

On one of my first outings with both kids, I decided to run to Target to pick up some Pj's for Miss A and few other things. While we were there Addison decided to be a little stinker and took off running through Target without me. I couldn't find her for a few minutes, and I definitely had an awesome Mom moment with me screaming her name in Target with my brand new baby in tow! Of course I found her in the toy aisle playing with all the babies!

After our little incident I decided these jammies were most fitting!
(look at that devious little face)

This little love of mine was a doll the whole time we were there. He of course slept through our entire outing, but I am pretty sure he shares mommy's love for Target :)

And since he was so good, he scored some baby essentials like new shoes and a killer new outfit.....definite essentials :)

Bath Time

It is definitely true that you are not as on top of things with your second kid. This was not Grayson's first bath, he was about a month old in these pictures.
