Aunt Vicki and Duck Suit

Aunt Vicki went to the WalMart Sample store and all I got was a Duck Suit! Haha. This is one of the most hysterical things I have seen. For those of you who don't live here, we have a sample store that only WalMartians can shop at. They have sample items and items that vendors have brought in and well I don't know what all because I am not one of them!! But anyways, Vicki's husband, Bill is retired from WalMart so this is what she bought Addie to wear for Halloween. It is super cute but super hot. She is not wearing pants. But she loves it and thinks that it is funny.

Addie is Growing!!! Make sure you have volume on.

Trying soooo hard to crawl


This is Addie before we went to the school fund raiser with her Decatur bow. I think that this is a super cute picture of her. For the last two days, she has been arching her back up like a cat. She is very mobile rolling around and spinning on her belly she just isn't very fast.


She has also been eating some new things. She eats anything and ALL of whatever we give her. Tonight she ate some mac and cheese with me. She has also had some rice and refried beans. She loves a good meal!!

A Wonderful Weekend

Hopefully, I can figure out how to get the pictures from my phone to Jeremy's ipod and then onto the computer but for now you will just have to hear about it. While Mom was up with Addie, I was able to do a few things that I wanted to do to Addie's room. Jeremy has been wonderful caring for Addie but when I come home he is ready for a break and I am ready to spend time with just her. So having Mom here allowed for me to do some stuff.

Friday night, I painted an accent wall in Addie's room. So now she has a pink wall and her stuffed animal hanger that I made is complete. I will post pictures of that soon.

Saturday afternoon, Grammy left, we played and laughed and took a nap together. Saturday evening, we went to the Save Decatur Schools fundraiser and we had a blast. It was like 100 degrees but Addie didn't care. We saw a snake and rode on a turtle.

We also saw all of Addie's friends from Anna's as well as Anna. Addie was so excited to see Alea and Braxton. I think that she remembers them. She was so hot and I forgot to take a cup so I bought her some bottled water. She had a hard time drinking it effectively so I bought her a snow cone with no juice and she loved it!!

We tried to buy her a fort/swingset thing at the auction but I lost out. It went a little higher than I was willing to pay. $400 was my limit and that's what it went for:( We will get one when Addie is big enough to use it.

During the auction, I gave Addie the bottle of water to play with. She splashed and had a great time pouring it all over herself!! Before we left we had to change her diaper and her clothes!!

When we came home we played in the bed and every time I looked at Addie she would just laugh! I know that many of you have kids and you know the feeling, but the love she has is so amazing. Most of you know everything that I went through to get her. Not that all of your children aren't special but for those of us who had to work hard to get ours, it is truly a miracle of life.

We had a wonderful mother and daughter weekend! However, we did miss our Daddy and are ready for him to be home!

Grammy Visit!


As part of Daddy's birthday, he wanted to go to Memphis to play his war game with his buddies. I don't think that Mommy realized he was going to be gone 3 full days and 3 nights but anyways my Grammy came to visit and take care of me Friday!

She was suppose to have a phone conference on Friday morning but I screamed with laughter throughout the whole thing! So Mommy, had to stay home with me until it was over.

Oil Detox Anyone?


So after our last visit to HairClub, Chrissy claims that she did this detox and it pulled toxins from her body and whitened her teeth.

Jamie and I decided to try it. You take 1 teaspoon of EVOO and 1 teaspoon of Sunflower oil and swoosh for 20 minutes.

After 13 minutes, I almost puked so I spit mine out. Jamie lasted the whole 20 minutes. It taste like a whole lot of sunflower seeds that are kinda burnt. When we spit it out, it wasn't black like the internet claimed just oily looking! We didn't feel any better and our teeth weren't any whiter! However, we are both breastfeeding mothers so I am not sure how many toxins we actually have in our bodies currently?

But for now we will let Chrissy continue to cut our hair and leave her crazy witch potions at the salon!

Can you see my teeth?

Here is Addie acting silly after a diaper change. She is wearing her shorts on her head!!
I think that maybe you can see the two teeth here?
