Let's Go Swimming Grammy!


After mom and I gave Addie her bath, we tried on her bathing suit and hat. I bought it for her at the GAP for my birthday. She was laughing at Grammy and sitting up on the changing table. Yeah, I know not the safest but we were ready to catch her if she fell. I love this picture because she doesn't have any teeth. She has been a little fussy and had a low grade temperature, so I think the teeth are on the way. I am glad that we snapped a picture before the teeth came.

Mommy's Birthday and the Shareholder's Meeting



Mommy's Birthday is always the weekend of the Shareholder's meeting. With Uncle Randy already being here, Grammy came to visit as well. Then Great Aunt JoAnne from Memphis came to the meeting to represent the Sam's Club that she works at. We had a great birthday celebration.

After we kidnapped Aunt JoAnne from the WalMartians, we went to the food court at the NWA Mall to have some drinks and waited for Daddy to get off work. Then we all went to eat at Penguin Ed's/B and B or whatever you want to call it. Mom figured that this would be a great local restaurant to take everyone to. After fried pickles, bbq, battered fries and fried pies we were all stuffed. So Grammy took me home and mommy, daddy, Uncle Randy and Aunt JoAnne went to the concert. They saw One Republic, All American Rejects and Journey.

Addie's First Concert



Who else would take Addie to her first Rock concert other than Uncle Randy? Well on Tuesday, June 2nd, Uncle Randy babysat Addie with me supervising as I worked in the office. So that afternoon was the first concert for the shareholders. It was Lifehouse and Taylor Swift. So off we go. Uncle Randy wanted to carry Addie in the baby carrier. But then he saw all these hot girls! He laughed and said I am never going to get a girl if I am with my sister and carrying around a baby. We stayed just to listen to Lifehouse and then we left. No Taylor Swift for us.

Sarah, Parker and Durinda Came to Visit

Parker Wesley Saffold came to visit us. This is my friend, Sarah's baby. He was born in March and they live in southern Arkansas. Sarah has a long time family friend who graduated so they came up to NWA for the weekend.






This is Addie and Parker playing in the floor. Addie kept trying to eat Parker's foot.








This is sweet Parker sleeping in the floor. He is a thumb sucker isn't he precious?










Here are Sarah and I with the kiddos! Who knew that we were going to turn out to be such hot moms?

Scary Storm


So last Saturday, Jeremy was outside mowing and came in to get me and this scary cloud is coming toward our house. (actually this was north of our house) Most of you know, that our house is kinda up high so we can see everything coming in from Oklahoma. I took this picture and they showed it on 5 News. This is a "shelf cloud" or that's what they called it anyway. On a happy note, it provided a nice rain storm that Addie slept through.

Eating

Addie is fully adapted to the eating routine. She absolutely loves eating and will eat anything. The only food that doesn't work out well is peaches. She loves them but she spits them up. As soon as she goes into the highchair, she starts saying "ew, ew, ew." Then we put on the bib and she gets more excited and when she sees the food it is just all over. She ate 6 ounces of food last night. This is her preferred way to eat without the tray on the highchair with her foot propped up.

Childproofing the House


Now that Addie can roll throughout the house, we decided to go ahead and install the cabinet locks. This is Addie helping Daddy. She held the plastic box the locks came in! We did leave one cabinet without the locks so that she can have some fun!
