Dance Class

Here is Addison at her first day of Dance class. Addison loves to dance all the time, so I thought that I would sign her up for dance class this year to see how it goes and whether she likes it. So far...she LOVES it!

Dora Live

Addison and Lucy

We went and saw Dora Live at the Fox Theater today. This was Addison's first trip to the Fox and she loved it. We went with my friend Julie and her daughter Lucy, my mom, and my cousin and her daughter, Josie. The girls loved the show. I do not think that they took their eyes off the entire show. Actually, I thought that it was kind of cute....or at least thought that it could have been a lot worse.

Welcome Whit Thomas Williams!

Me and the new bundle of joy, Whit
How cute is he and check out that head of hair!
Addison could not wait to hold him.

Now a family of 5...Michael, Christy, big brother Bryce, and big sister Reece plus Dr. Elder & me.

Today I was able to help one of my best friends delivery her baby. I was lucky enough to be asked to be with her during her other deliveries and this was no different. I was so happy to be part of such a wonderful time in her life. She had a great experience and gave birth to this beautiful baby boy!

Lucy Joy's 4th Birthday Party

We went to Lucy Joy's 4th birthday party today. It was a princess party and everyone came dressed in princess attire. Addison wore her Sleeping Beauty dress. She had a fun time at the party playing with all the other princesses!

Grandpa's Pool

Jumping into the pool of the side without anyone there to catch her.

Today we went to Grandpa's pool with Uncle Adam and Uncle Ross. Addison has no fear when it comes to the water and is 100% while we are there. She does not care whether there is anyone in the water to catch her or not. A little scary, but also good that she isn't afraid of the water.

Happy 3rd Birthday Addison!

Addison got a box of dress-up clothes from her Granny.

I love cake!

Addison, Anna Kate, and Mary Grant

3 yrs ago today, the most wonderful thing happened to me...I brought this beautiful girl into the world. I decided that although it was on a Friday, that I would have her party on her actual birthday. A friend of mine is a member of this pool and so we got to have the party with little cost and actually ended up having the entire pool to ourselves. Addison had a great time and many presents that she is very grateful for.

Christy's Baby Shower

Lucy and Addison both ordered a meal, but of course they both had to eat off the same plate.

The girls helping Christy open her gifts.

The diaper cake that I made for Christy.

Christy will be having her 3rd baby, 2nd boy, in about 2 weeks. She really did not want anything, so we decided to have an essentials shower so that she could get diapers, wipes, shampoo, and other items like that. We had a great time and I think that she got alot of great things.

Swing Set

Addison got a swing set from my parents for her 3rd birthday. My dad and younger brother came to my house 2 days in a row to put it together. As you can see Addison was right in there helping out. She absolutely loves it and I can say that we are out there almost every day swinging and having a great time.

Anna Kate's Birthday

We went to Anna Kate's 8th birthday party tonight. Addison of course loved it, as it was a swim party.

Happy 60th Mom!

We took my mom to dinner at a restaurant that she had wanted to go to, to celebrate her birthday. It was a great dinner and then we went back to her house to open presents and of course eat cake.

Callaway Gardens

Addison remembered picking pumpkins from the pumpkin patch last year, so she thought that she was suppose to pick one. She grabbed this one and said that she picked her pimpkin and she was ready to go. Gotta love kids!

I took my mom on a surprise trip to Callaway Gardens today to celebrate her 60th birthday. She really did not want to do anything, but she has always wanted to go and we have lived in Ga for 18 years and we have never been there, so I decided that we would just take a day trip. We had a great time and would like to go back again soon. We also saw the Florida State Seminoles put on a circus and it was absolutely wonderful. They put on the entire circus from acts to setting up everything. In my opinion it was about as good as theRingling Brothers except this was free and we got a up front view. They were amazing on the trapeze as well.

Pianist?

Yes, this is what my daughter likes to do when she is at my mom's house. Is she really playing, no. She just likes to sit at the piano and pretend as if she is. She has to have a book though and she turns the pages at times. Maybe I should think about signing her up for lessons soon.

Pool time again

Another day at the pool. We frequently go to my friend Christy's pool to play. This time Julie and her children came with us. We had a good time. Thanks Christy for letting us come and play!

Happy 4th!

(You think that she will be okay with her floaties and inner tube?)

Running and playing in the house. Poor Madison trying to keep up. She will be walking and keeping up soon enough.

How cute are we?

Today we went to my friend Katie's friends house as we did last year. We went swimming and had a BBQ. Addison had a great time in the pool as well as with her new friends Andrew and Madison (children of some of my high school friends). We then went back to my moms house and tried to watch fireworks from the deck and just like last year, Addison hated the fireworks. Of course, she asked for them for the next week.

Grandpa's 60th birthday Party

Addison trying to hula hoop.

Although my dad's birthday was last month, we had a huge birthday party for him this past weekend. We had a great time and enjoyed seeing some family and friends that we had not seen in a long time. It was wonderful. Unfortunately, the lens on my camera stopped working shortly after we for there so most of my pictures are dark.

Swim Diva

We went swimming today with my friend Julie and her kids. Addison and I had a great time. I have a water baby on my hands. She absolutely loves it!! I spent all day at the pool and was exhausted and then had to go to work all night. I was about dead by 7am. Swimming all by herself...with the help of her life vest off course.

Her first dive off the diving board. She loved it!
