What a Day!!

Well, today was a crazy day! We had a showing on the house-Yeah, so Adalyn helped Daddy move the Tahoe out of the garage. We then headed for Grammy and Papaw's while, the "potential buyers" looked at the house. At Grammy and Papaw's, Adalyn and Grammy played with bubbles, and Adalyn said "bubbles" for the first time! Later that evening we went over to Grandma and Grandpa Acton's house for Sunday night dinner. While waiting on dinner to get done, Adalyn was on my shoulders and when I went to get her down she leaned forward and hit her eye on the door frame!! OUCH!! She cried and so did I!! I felt like the worst mom ever!! Her eye immediately swelled and bruised! I was freaking out but Adalyn just wanted down to run around! She was acting as if nothing even happened and was ready for her "nummy, nummies". So after dinner, to make her feel better, Daddy and I stopped at Dairy Queen to get her, her favorite ice cream treat, a strawberry sundae!! Well, hopefully tomorrow will be a better day!!

Girls Night Out!!

It was that time again-Girls Night Out!! As you can see several girls weren't able to attend, but Amber, Kari, Melissa, and myself sure had a GREAT time!! We decided to eat somewhere a little different, and thanks to Nikki we headed to Fountain Square and ate at Santorini's. The food was GREAT!! They also had fun entertainment-a Belly Dancer!! Amber said that she heard if you make eye-contact with the dancer they she assumes you want to dance. So, every time she came near our table, we all looked down at our food as if we were praying or something!! If you have never been to Santorini's you MUST try it!!

After dinner we headed downtown to get our "groove" on!! We decided to hit Have a Nice Day!! Believe it or not, we were by far not the oldest ones in the place. We enjoyed several cocktails, people watched, and danced the night away!! Fun, fun, fun!!

Pigtails Finally!!

Adalyn's hair is FINALLY long enough for me to put into 2 pigtails!! I am SO excited! All of those years growing up and thinking about your family I couldn't wait to dress my little girl up and fix her hair in pigtails!! She is SO Stinkin' Cute!!!

The Girls!!

On Sunday after our visit to Pizza King, we went over to Grandma and Grandpa Acton's house to visit. Baby Emma and Aunt Steph were there too! Adalyn is so into wanting to hold Emma and point at her eyes, nose, ears, and belly! As you can see, she is SO happy that she is getting to hold her little cousin!! How Cute!!

Look at the train!!

Last Sunday we took our very first trip to Pizza King so Adalyn could see the train! She was really amazed as it zoomed by and dropped off drinks to people. She kept beating on the window wanting to see it again!! I think Daddy had just as much, if not more, fun as Adalyn did!!

Getting a "mouthful" of YUCKY treats!!

Yesterday and today have been a real "treat"!! Adalyn decided that she wanted to try some dog and cat food. Yesterday I found a huge piece of Molly's dog food in her mouth that she refused to give me! When I tried to get her mouth open to get it out, she told me, "no, no!" After getting it out she was spitting from the nasty taste!! Today, she decided to see if cat food was better and nabbed a piece of Simba's cat food. When I realized she had something in her mouth and went toward her to get it, she took off crawling as fast as she could-what a stinker!! Again, once I got it out of her mouth she started spitting and asked for her juice. I wonder why?? Well, hopefully yesterday and today have been quite the learning days and now I hope that Adalyn realizes that sticking with people food is the best choice!!

My FIRST Gymnastics Class!!

On Tuesday, Adalyn went to her very first gymnastics class! She is getting so big!! As you can see, she was either right by Mommy or Miss Lauren the entire time! She learned how to do a forward roll, which we are still working on, jump on the BIG girl trampoline, walk on the balance beam, hang on the bars, and jump in the block pit!! She LOVED it and as you can tell by the last picture, she did not want to leave!! She can't wait to go back again on Tuesday!!

It was a zoo at The Zoo!!

On April 5th, we went to the zoo and butterfly gardens with Katie, Jeff, and Gabby! The Butterfly Garden was really cool. Adalyn was so amazed, as you can tell by the look on her face, by all of the butterflies flying around!! Then we were off to the zoo! We had so much fun looking at all of the BIG animals!! Before we left, Daddy took me on a carousel ride, boy it was fun!! I really LOVE the zoo!!

What a CUTE Family!!

Here we are walking out as a family into the ocean! Adalyn STILL refuses to walk on her own, even though we KNOW that she can, but holding hands as a family made a much CUTER picture!! As we were coming in, you can see that Adalyn wasn't to happy! She wanted to keep playing!

Look, I made my own pool!

Since Adalyn wasn't too crazy about the ocean, she decided that she would squeeze her entire body into the splash area of her blow up turtle, Herbert!! She splashed, stuck her face in the water, and even was washing her own hair in it too!! She had such a great time!

Where is our plane?

As we waited for our plane to arrive in Atlanta, Adalyn stared out the window watching all of the planes come in and out hoping that the next one would be ours. We were all anxiously awaiting our plane so we could be in the sky on the way to the warm, sunny beach!!

Fun in the Sun!!

Well, we just enjoyed our first family vacation in Florida!! We all flew down together to Sarasota on Sunday, March 30 where we stayed in a hotel on Lido Beach! Boy, Adalyn sure loves the tub water, but wasn't real sure of the ocean water-I think it was a little to chilly for her! The sand was a different story! She loved playing in it as long as it didn't stick to her hands-YUCK!! Flying was a new experience for Adalyn as well. She slept most of the way, but when she was awake, boy she was sure a BEAR!! She wanted down to play and as most of you know, there isn't room on an airplane to get down and play!! We can't wait to go back to Florida again real soon!!
