Fair Time - Night 1

Last night was the start of our local fair! Addy has been so excited about it for weeks! She couldn't wait to go ride the rides and see the animals. So we got there early because we had to be there for the ribbon cutting. Then Nana showed up and off they went to ride the rides. All she has talked about was riding the Ferris wheel. Mommy was really scared and thought hopefully she will change her mind. She started off riding the smaller rides. Which this year were a little boring to her towards the end. The ladybugs were a little more exciting. They went up and down and moved a lot faster for her. she was such a big girl!!Then after the small rides she decided she was ready!!! Nana is scared to death of heights but they called Pops and made him ride with them to. She had a blast and couldn't wait to ride it again. I was nervous just watching from the ground!!Towards the end of the night she ran into her best friend Ava!!! They couldn't wait to ride the rides. The rode the carousel and talked Nana & Pops back into riding the Ferris wheel again. The girls had a blast...As you can tell. They had Pops blowing balloons up and were handing them out. I love this picture so much of them two together!! they had a wonderful time and can't wait to do it again!!

** Yes Addy picked her own outfit out last night and loved it **

Baby update... I am feeling so much better now. They had to take me off the vitamins and start me on a Z-Pack. I feel better and the nausea has went away. I thought I was really getting sick Monday so they stared me on some meds and it helped quickly. The baby and my belly is growing. I go back to the Dr on the 13Th and hopefully will find out what we are having.

MP Homecoming

A couple of weeks ago was the Mt. Pleasant Homecoming. Our town holds a parade the Monday night before the game. Addy and I set and watched the parade as it started. Jeremy was driving one of the trucks and was luckily the last truck out with the Varsity football players. Once she saw daddy was driving she wanted to ride with him. So across the road we ran to ride in the parade. She waved out the window to everyone like she was a beauty queen.

We went to the game Friday night. she was so excited to get all dressed up and wear her mum!! This is the only picture she would let me take. She was more interested in the cheerleaders and mascots! Her future plans are to be a cheerleader one day!!! Even though the Tigers lost again we had a blast at the game!!!

SURPRISE!!!!!!

SURPRISE!!! The Long Family is going from 3 to now 4!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's right baby #2 is due on April 2ND. We are so excited and can't wait for the baby to get here!! Addy is really super excited that she is going to be a BIG SISTER!! She hugs and kisses my belly several times a day and says "I Love my baby brother/sister" (depends on what day it is) and "I'm Going To Be An Awesome Big Sister!!" At least now it's a baby because forever she said it was a pink cow!! Love her big imagination.

They said they will more than likely take the baby before April 2nd since I am going to have another c-section! I am just praying for a healthy baby no matter when he/she gets here! The pregnancy has been good so far besides the normal feeling sick and no sleep! I am craving hot spicy foods such as hot sauce, rotel or anything else hot!!! I was not like this with Addy I never felt pregnant and I didn't have these cravings this early. I am 11 1/2 weeks right now with 199 days to go!!!!!

Ranger Game!!

How could I forget to post about this? The day after Nick Live we stayed in Dallas and let Addy swim all day at hotel. That night we took Addy to her first Ranger Game!! She loved the game and loved going with so many friends. There were 19 of us that went.She clapped, cheered and we both ate until we couldn't eat no more. Neither one of us could wait to get our hands on a ballpark hot dog!!Addy and her friend Sydney both had a great night!!! They are both such cute sweet girls!!!After the game we all headed back to the hotel for some more swim time! The kids were all excited to be swimming together all 7 of them. Next year there will 9 and the parents will really be outnumbered. Again you can see how much fun Addy and Sydney were having!You can see none of us mom's got in the pool. We left it all to the dads this trip. Needless to say they really had their hands fulls!! They were all going back and forth from the pool to the hot tub.The pool closed at 11 so of course the kids had an excuse to go to the lobby because they needed drinks and snacks. Once we got back to the room it was midnight and yes my night owl was still going strong. She had the computer on YouTube and was dancing the night away in the bed.
We got up the next morning and we all headed to Cracker Barrel for breakfast. YYYUUUMMM! I really wish we had one closer to us. We all had a great trip together and fun family get away. We can't to do it again!!

Nick Jr Live

Last Friday we headed to Arlington to see Nick Jr Live!!!!!! Addy was so excited to Dora, Ni Hao Kai Lan, Backyardigans, Wonder Pets and especially Moose and Zee!! I would have to say Zee was her favorite part of the whole show.
They all put on great shows and the kids loved it!


Addy loved clapping and dancing along with all the different songs that each of them did!


After the show it was off to the hotel for swim time before bed. I swear she a fish because she could stay in the pool for hours!The next morning it was more swimming and then lunch at her choice Joe's Crab Shack. When we first set down she decided she didn't want to eat there because they were not dancing. Finally she decided to eat and boy did she. Pizza, corn on the cob and then asked for cheese cake. You can't go to Joe's without playing on the slide....


and doing a little hopscotch back to the hotel!!!!
