Princess Addie turns 2!!!!!!!!!!!!

We had a great time and it was a beautiful day for Addie's birthday party. We had it @ Nana & Papa's "Party Palace". It was a Disney Princess party and she really like all the decorations and goodies. I think she owns just about everything now that's Disney Princess! Addie was really excited about her birthday and sang "happy birthday" to herself for over a week. She's still singing to herself:)

We had family and friends come and celebrate w/us and they helped make her day great! All the kiddos played for a bit and then it was time to eat hamburgers and hotdogs. Then, we later had cake and ice-cream. Addie was exhausted (not to mention no nap). Her mood was great, but she just gave out right before we were ready to open presents. She almost fell asleep eating the ice-cream. We went ahead and let her nap and let the kids open her gifts. They loved that! Addie got to see everything later and played when she woke about 45 minutes later.

She's still really into babies and princess things. I found her the cutest wooden baby doll bed, highchair and rocking chair from a consignment sale...she L.O.V.E.S. them! Now, she uses them and her princess table to set all the dolls around for dinner or a tea party. It's the cutest thing:)
Thanks to everyone who helped make this day GREAT!!!

I had to show Addie @ 1yr to show how much she has changed.

~My big girl!~

Mommy's sweet princess:)

She finally gave out!

Back up again and ready to ride on the gator.

This is her jump-o-line from Nana and Pops.

Hangin' w/her buddy, Knox.

2 year pics

I'm still trying to catch up with my posts...
I've been wanting to get Addie's pics made outside for awhile now and we finally had them done. I think they turned out great considering how hot it was. Not to mention trying to get a 2 yr old to look at the camera so many times. Here are some of my favorites...



Wilson Co. Fair!!!

I have been wanting to go the fair for awhile, and I have always heard about this being the best one. I can't tell you the last time I actually went to a fair. Scott and I decided to take Addie this year. There was a chance of rain, but things were looking good when we left...then when we got there, it started to thunder! Once we were there, Addie rode 1 ride, played a game, and we headed over to the see some of the animals under the shelter. Of course, it started to pour down rain! Once it let up, we got a funnel cake and cotton candy. Scott had a fried twinkie. It ended up sprinkling a little on and off for the rest of the night. Addie rode a few more rides and we looked at some more animals...she wasn't too big on petting them! It was still a lot of fun walking around and looking at everything. Before we left, Scott had to get one of the famous porkchops, and I tried the roasted corn on the cob...yummy:)

She didn't like petting the cows much at all!

Thought the sky was so pretty on the way out...



Our Anniversary and Date Night!!!

July 24, 2004, I not only married the man that I met in Florida on a "girl's trip", but I married my best friend! I never EVER thought I would meet my future husband on a 4th of July trip with my girls. I guess it was one of those things that was really meant to be. At the time, I was trying to get out of a bad relationship and meeting Scott was exactly what I needed to do that! Sounds strange, but it worked. We still joke about it today:)

Scott and I rarely get time to ourselves, so we decided to go have dinner for our anniverary. We both LOVE Italian and he "kinda" surprised me w/reservations to Maggiano's. I ended up guessing it! It is now our favorite and we are going back for my birthday in October. Can't wait! My sis was there to get a few pics before we left...



***July 3rd~4th***

We spent the 3rd of July @ Nana and Papa's house with our cousins from Atlanta. All the kids enjoyed the little fireworks' display that the guys put together! It was a fun night!

Lunch...

I got Addie to pose for a few pics.

Of course, all the kiddos had to take a ride them on the gator!

Later that evening...playing games, lighting some sparklers and enjoying the festivities...

She's about to call it a night!

The next day, we spent the afternoon and night at our good friends' house. That night, we sat by the pool and watched the neighbor's firework show.

In memory of Brian Denning...we miss and love you!
