Our poor little blog has been neglected for so long! I am going to try to be much better! We just live such an exciting life that it is hard to find time to tell about all of our activities! Yeah right! This year has been a very busy one though. We welcomed sweet little Carson to this world on December 9th at 12:12 pm. He weighed 7 lbs. 11 oz. and was just perfect! He is now seven months old. My how time flies! Addison is an amazing big sister....when she wants to be!

These are pictures from this summer! They were too cute not to share!

She was so excited, until...

we lit the candles and started singing "Happy Birthday"

This is Addison posing with her great-grandfather, Papa Joe.

Addison could not wait to go to the American Girl store. Of course, we had to take her Bitty twins, Will and Nelly.

This is Addison with Will and Nelly's new ride after our trip. Yes, they are all wearing matching Christmas pajamas. Too bad they didn't have any to fit Carson!

Adam and Addison on the carousel

Addison and Adam danced all night at Blake's wedding!

Addison wanted to hold Paisley all night! She was so sweet to her. I hope this is the the way she will act when Carson comes.

Okay, I know it's been a long while since I've updated, but we've been very busy and I never could have imagined how much harder the second pregnancy would be. I am so thankful for a child who will sit and watch tv and a husband who cooks and cleans! Over the past couple of months we have celebrated Addison's third birthday, traveled to Atlanta, and been a part of Adam's brother's wedding. The past two weekends have been so wonderful! We have not done a single thing, and I've loved every minute!!

Still Beachin!

Thank goodness she will use a float now!

We finally were able to find Addison a pink guitar!

Addison loves her crab outfit!

These are her new crab shoes!

We tried playing Putt Putt Golf last night, but this is all she would do with her golf club and ball!

Our 1st full day at the beach!

Today was our first full day at the beach. Addison loved the sand but not the ocean. She has been so excited about our trip. Every morning for the past couple of weeks, the first thing out of her mouth was, "Mommy, I'm ready to go to the beach!" We ate at The Wolf Bay Lodge tonight, and Addison ate shrimp for the first time!

Addison's 1st Trip to the Library!

Since it was way too hot to play outside yesterday, I decided that it would be so much fun to take Addison to the public library to get a library card and let her check out books. She was so excited that she kept picking out books to check out. We ending up leaving with about 20 books! I'm so glad that she loves reading! She now loves to read to us, which is just hilarious to see what she will say. You never know what will come out!

Addison doing the Hula

She looks guilty!

This is her new face for the camera!

...And this one too!

Addison and her "Mo"....so sweet!

This weekend was very busy! Adam's grandparents came early Friday morning to prepare for his surgery that was this morning at St. D's. Saturday night, Blake and Elizabeth (my brother-in-law and future sister-in-law) had a shower. It was very nice, but very, very HOT! Addison had so much fun too! The host's house had a beautiful pool, and Addison was determined that she was going to swim. We kept telling her that she did not bring her swimming suit, but that didn't stop her. She told Adam that she could just swim naked, and she did...well she kept her panties on! Sunday, her cousin "Little Abby" came from Memphis to stay and we went swimming at "Uncle Bake's" pool. She gets very brave sometimes in the water, which is out of character for her.

What a life!

I know it has been a long time since I've updated, but we've been recovering from a long school year. That and the fact that we have not really done anything exciting to tell about. We have spent the first weeks of our summer vacation sleeping, swimming, and playing. I love the summer!!

Addison is going to be a big sister!

This is the picture from our second sonogram on June 2. We finally feel that it is safe to announce our wonderful news. Addison is so excited, and she thinks that the baby is in her tummy! I know that she will be an awesome big sister and a good little helper! Our baby is due to arrive December 20. We will find out if it is a girl or a boy at our July appointment!

Yesterday, we went to John Riley North's 3rd birthday party at Pump it Up. Addison had a wonderful time!

New Orleans Trip

Yes, we made her wear "the leash"

Addison's had so much fun at the zoo

Wow! It is so hard to believe that Spring Break has come and gone! We were all off, so we took full advantage and took a little vacation to New Orleans. We had so much fun going to the aquarium, zoo, and insectarium. Now we are on the countdown for summer! Eight weeks today!
