Sweet Addilyn...

Addilyn is now smiling so much and talking a lot too! Yesterday she had her two month shots...uggg! She did okay all morning, but the afternoon was not good! She cried and wouldn't eat and I could tell she just didn't feel good at all. By the time bedtime came around she was so tired and ready to sleep. To my surprise I put her to bed at 6:45 pm and she didn't wake up until 6:00 am!!! I really don't remember the last time I got to sleep completely through the night, so when I woke up this morning I felt like a new woman! Needless to say I am also so proud of Addilyn for sleeping so long...she really does love me! Here's my sweet Addilyn and her smile (well, kind of...once the picture actually took she was not smiling so big...oh well!).

Sprinkler Fun...

This morning we (Aunt Toni, Kinsley, Addilyn and me) took the trek over to Collierville and spent the morning at Johnson's Park in the sprinklers! Kinsley had so much fun running from sprinkler to sprinkler and yelling "Come on" to Toni and me (She tends to be a little bossy...she got that from her Dad!). Poor Addilyn didn't get to enjoy the sprinklers, but she did get a good nap (Addilyn got her 2 month shots this morning, so I didn't want to push it by making her get wet with really cold water!)! By the time we left we were ALL wet and tired. We walked away with only a minor injury from an older boy who knocked Kinsley over and gave her a "rug" burn on her arm and leg! Over all though she had a great time and she talked about the sprinkler park for the rest of the day!

Zoo Day!

This weekend Aunt Toni came to visit us and keep the girls and I company! So this morning we packed up and headed to the zoo! It was about 10:30 am when we arrived and it was already really hot out! I think before we even unpacked the van (and yes I did say van...ha ha!) we were all sweating! We walked about half of the zoo looking at the animals then we were all to our limit of sweating and we took a break in the cool eating area and had lunch! We then headed out to the play ground and let Kinsley burn some energy! Next we set out again to look at the animals and ride the carousel! By 12:30 pm we were all so hot and Kinsley was very tired so we headed home! It was a lot of fun and really fun to have Toni along...I know I couldn't have done it alone!

Play Day with Mommy

Last Friday I took Kinsley and Addilyn to a park near by for a picnic and play time! We had never been to this park before and Kinsley had so much fun! They had misting sprinklers and a huge climbing rope wall that she loved. Believe it or not, Kinsley climbed to the top of the wall and back down by herself several times...she is a monkey!! By the time we left Kinsley was soaked from the misters and very tired! Needless to say, she slept great for her nap! After nap we went to a "lake" near by to feed the ducks! Kinsley did great feeding them and didn't even act scared! Here are some pictures of our day!

Addilyn's Baby Dedication

On May 10th (Mother's Day!) we dedicated Addilyn to the Lord in front of our church family! It was a really special time of commitment to raise our children to know and love God. We brought Kinsley in with us to dedicate Addilyn and the whole time she kept leaning over and kissing Addilyn, it was so sweet! We feel so blessed to have a loving family and church family to support us in raising our children and leading us by example!
