On December 16th Addy's class had one of two Christmas parties! I was able to join them and all the fun they had. The class did a book exchange and all the kids got a new book from the friends. On the first day she got Veggie Tales which she was excited because it come with stickers!!! She had to pose with her teacher Ms Cindy and her new book.Then they opened gifts from Ms Tess and received bracelets and necklaces! She then had to help Ms Cindy open her present from her. She gave her a picture frame, necklace and earrings!!
Ms Cindy gave everyone in the class cute ornaments to take home!

She helped Ms Tess open her necklace that she gave her!

Before heading outside she had to show me a new dance move that she is trying out now. Notice the silver sparkle shoes (aka the Michael Jackson shoes around our house) I guess they make her dance better!

Thank you so much Ms Cindy, Ms Tess and all the KindleLight staff for giving the kids a party! They all had a blast and enjoyed their day.

Happy Birthday Jeremy!!

On December 12th Jeremy celebrated his 32nd birthday! Addy was bound and determained to get him a cake. She really wanted him to have a Spider man cake but we had to settle for Woody!!

ICE at the Gaylord!!!

On December 11Th we made our first trip to the Gaylord in Dallas to see ICE!! It was nothing like we expected. We spent the night Friday night and went to eat at the Rain Forest Cafe! Yum I love their hamburgers! We got up Saturday and headed over to the Gaylord. It was gorgeous all inside their. We looked around for a bit and then headed straight for ICE. Addy was not sure really who Charlie Brown was but she does now. We watched a small video about how it was made then it was off to get our beautiful blue jackets!!! We were all bundled up in sweaters, jackets, scarfs, gloves and the jackets but that was still not enough. Being pregnant I thought I would be warm but not I was not near warm. The ice was totally amazing and breathtaking but cold! They all got to do the Ice slide and snow slide but I was unable to being pregnant. Addy was not sure about it because it was a little unsteady slide down. I am sure we will be going back again but next time I think I will find some snow gear to wear!! After leaving ICE we ate at the Gaylord and looked around some more. Jeremy headed off to a football game and we headed to Bass Pro Shop. There Addy wrote a letter to Santa and enjoyed shooting the guns!

Baby 24 Weeks!!

On December 9th I went to my dr visit. We finally got to hear the heartbeat for the first time! It was beating strong and loud. Of course Miss Addy went with us so we got to do a sonogram and see sweet baby "K" He was just a moving and waving them hands back and forth. I was really worried about my weight because I feel so much bigger this time. I am actually only 4lbs more now then I was with Addy at the same time. I was excited to hear that. I guess I feel that way because I am carrying him so much lower then I did Addy. We have 16 more weeks and we can't wait!!

Wordless Wednesday

Christmas Parade!

This past Saturday night was our towns Christmas Parade!! Addy was so excited to be riding on the float with Big Tex aka daddy!! she loved wearing her new Santa shirt (which you can't see because we were all curled up in jackets and blankets) and her new gloves! It was a cold night riding through town but the kids had a blast! Before the parade started we ran into our good friends Brandice and Madi! Addy & Madi posed for a quick picture before it was time to go!
It's always love for daddy when he has his Big head on!! She loves him wearing this.

Addy along with daddy got to pose with our high school drill team the Mt. Pleasant Tiger Dolls!!

Look Who's Back!!

Thanksgiving night we had an old friend fly back in from the North Pole!!! Elber the Elf is back in the Long house and we couldn't be happier!!! Elber landed in her tree and bought her a present since he was been for almost a year. She was so excited that he was back. she has been looking forward to him coming ever since he left last year. Elber bought her a barbie and some finger paint!!! She couldn't' wait to paint.

This Elf on the Shelf makes this little girl one happy girl!!!!!! Welcome back Elber we all missed you!!!

Happy Thanksgiving!!

We spent Thanksgiving at my parents house this year! We enjoyed great food and great company. Addy made a turkey that she carried for the centerpiece. She posed with Nana Pops before we started eating. Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving Party!!

Yesterday was Addy's class Thanksgiving party!!! They made these cute little turkey hats to wear and had several great snacks!!

I love going to go to her parties and see all of friends have so much. We are blessed to have such a wonderful teacher Miss Cindy who takes of our sweet little girl. She loves Miss Cindy and school so much!!

I always love getting to see the work they have done in class. I was really excited to see that she was thankful for mommy and daddy. I had just asked her the night before what she was thankful for and she told me God!!
Again thank you Kindlelight and Miss Cindy for allowing our children to have such wonderful parties. We are so blessed to have you watch over and teach Addy each day of the week.

20 week baby update!!!

Well I am half way there!! We went to the dr yesterday and everything looked great! Addyson went with us for the first time and was so excited. She helped the nurse do my hemoglobin test and wanted to know what everything in the room was. We are 100% for sure having a little boy!! Her facial expressions and questions were so exciting. The baby waved at her, opened his mouth and stuck out this tongue. She thought it was so funny. She really enjoyed seeing me get a shot. She can’t wait to go back!! The baby is weighing 12oz’s right and my due date is showing March 29th. He is a little head of schedule but everything is great with him and me!! We all ready for our baby boy to get here because we know he will have a great BIG sister!!!

The conclusion of VEGAS!!!

Sunday was our last day in Vegas!!! We had to work again so Addy & Nana hit the town! Of course they went back to the M&M Factory. She was so excited to get her picture with the real M&M!! We had the banquet Sunday night and I have to say WOW my little girl look so grown up! She loved getting all dressed up and going to dinner. She even got to set by her favorite rider Kody Lostroh. He tried talking to her but she was so shy. He ended up giving her his name badge from the finals. she was so excited and I have to admit so was mommy. To her he is not Kody but "Cutie P 2 T!!
We tried to take a good family picture but there was a glare on my face and of course daddy didn't smile!

She always wants to dance on a stage so mommy let this be her stage for the night.
And this was Monday morning on the way home!! She couldn't stay awake any longer. We were all so tired and ready to be home. Luckily she did sleep because it was the roughest airplane ride I have ever been on!!!

vegas cont...

On Thursday the weather was a little nicer outside finally. Off to work we go again. Jeremy had to dress up in the Big Tex costume and Addy loved her daddy dressing up. Sweet kisses from a sweet girl.She got to meet some of the bull riders that day that were doing interviews. Here she is with Austin Myers, Nana and Daddy!!

We went to the bull riding again that night. She was so excited below because one the guys rode. she gets so into it and loves watching the clown dance. As you can tell by several of the pictures she has come to love hats. She says she likes them because then she don't have to do her hair.

On Friday it rained again so we didn't get any good pictures that day. We skipped the bull riding that night and headed over to the Paris to eat! Addy and Pops loved this statue and even helped the man clean. They also enjoyed the fountains that were all inside.

On Saturday we headed back out to the booth for work. Miss Addy was full of it today. All she wanted to do was dance. As you can tell I am really going to have my hands full!! Every time she would hear music she started dancing right where she was. Which most of the time it was on the trailers!!

We went back to the bull riding that night. I promise she picked her outfits every day. She only wanted to wear her boots!!

Vegas cont...

I forgot to post that the Monday we were in Vegas was also mine and Jeremy's 7th wedding anniversary. He had to work setting the booth up and us girls went shopping. Also that morning was the first time I felt the baby with my hand on my belly. I had been feeling him inside but not with my hand. Also Addy was able to fill him.

On Tuesday we headed out shopping again. As you can see we had to stop back by the pool again. The water was so cold but it didn't stop her one bit getting in.We headed to MGM to see the Lions!! They were out and up close so we could see them. She was so excited to see because that is all she talked about the week before.We then had lunch at the wonderful and fun Rainforest Cafe. For some reason my camera was blurry all inside. We loved seeing all the animals, rainstorm and great food. She was so tired after all this we went and took a nap.

On Wednesday the booth opened so I had to work. Mom and Addy stayed close by since they come out to visit and then we had the bull riding that night. Plus it was raining!!! Addy loves the PBR and cheering for her favorite riders. After the bull riding we went back out to the booth and she was dancing the night away!!!

Vegas 2010........

On October 17th we got up from out hotel at 5:00 got ready and headed to the airport for 9 day trip to Vegas!!!! We go every year to work the PBR and Addy looks so forward into going. she did great on the plane again and pretty much had her face glued to window the whole time looking out. When we get there or course the room is not ready. So we look around our hotel Hard Rock and grab a bite to eat. Then we head to strip to no other than the M&M Factory!! We love this place! It is 4 stories and has everything you can think of in it. Of course you can tell we had to pose with every M&M there.

( She was still in her cheer leading mode from the Friday night game. You can tell by her pose.)

We went back to the hotel hoping the room was ready but of course it was not. So Addy fell asleep in my arms for 2hrs inside Starbucks! Finally we got in our rooms that were extremely nice. If I could have carried the mattress home I would have!! After her nap we headed outside to look around some more. Addy loved posing on all the rocks. Jeremy drove this year pulling trailers so he finally showed up late that night.

Day 2. My mom pulled out shopping all day while the guys worked. We headed to the Fashion Mall and Cesar's!! We did lots of shopping all day that day that our feet were killing us. We loved seeing the fish and the huge sting ray!
After a long day of shopping we stopped by the pool at the Rehab and played in the sand!! This was one of the nice days that we were able to do this because it rained so much the rest of the time. The pool was beautiful and it looks nothing like it does on tv.
