Girls Trip!

Addie and I had a great time in Nashville for our first solo trip! It did take a couple of days for her to get adjusted though. Here is a video of her doing her favorite thing!!
Side note: Lately she has gotten really clingy. Examples...I couldn't pass her to anyone else and I had to pretty much be in the room with her at all times. Thank goodness for the Baby Bjorn. (If anyone could see me around the house cleaning out the refrigerator, vacuuming and mopping with her attached to me they would laugh!!) This video is just a taste of her unhappiness. Poor Carter!
Here are some pics from Arrington Vineyards. Haley and Carter stocked us with good snacks and we enjoyed tasting different wines. Addie was along for the ride...completely entertained by the music.
This was during our 1 hour and 45 minute wait for breakfast at the Loveless Cafe. Delicious biscuits and a good old home cooked breakfast made it worth it.

The end of school is near

The last 2 or 3 weeks of my life has been a blur. Working and taking care of an almost 3 month old has caught up with me. I have done a bad job of multitasking and communicating with my friends. Sorry! Oh yea, I got my hair chopped this week too! On to the updates...

We had field day Friday at school, which signals the end of the year. It was a great day full of excitement. It was the most organized field day I have ever been a part of! Each teacher had their schedule of events with each child listed and there was a "waiting area" for the participants in the next event. I have to admit, it was a fun day. We had the cutest shirts. Third grade had blue shirts and all of the teachers had an orange-red color. Here is a pic.
As for today, Andrew and Addie basically went shopping with me all morning. For mother's day Andrew asked me what I wanted...I guess I'm not really into mother's day like everyone else is. (I am acknowledged as a mother everyday so I don't get the idea. Maybe one day I will?) Our plant on our front porch has been dead for a few weeks so I decided that we need a new plant. That's what I "asked for" for mother's day. Haha. Long story short, we went and got one today. It felt so good outside that I was bound and determined that we
were going to go swimming. Mom and I went to Toys R Us and bought some swim diapers, a float with a sun shade, the whole deal. Well, we get home and Andrew and I are getting all ready for the pool. I have the diaper bag packed, swimsuit and diaper on Addie, she was in her stroller, literally we were about to walk out the door. She spit up not once, not twice, but THREE times in her carseat! I was SO mad! After Andrew took off the cover and washed it, I wasn't going to waste the day so we went swimming in the jacuzzi!! Haha. She loved it and just kicked her legs the whole time. Here are some pictures.
