Happy Early Anniversary to Kyle

7 Years Ago Today...

Kyle proposed!

And 6 short weeks later, I married the man of my dreams :)

Starting to Pull Up :)

Baby on the Move!

Addison (5 1/2 months) began pulling up today! She started at her toy basket, and then the front of the couch. She is crawling pretty good now, but can't sit up without her hands...Just imagine her lack of coordination when she realizes that she can't balance on her knees/feet! LOL Thankfully i've caught her while she is doing it, and catch her.

Pics to come LOL

Addison just being cute...

New Orleans "Teacher Trip" Part 1-Audubon Aquarium

Three teacher friends...2 grade schoolers....3 toddlers...one infant

Yes-that is the crew that decided it would be a great idea to drive to New Orleans to take the kids to the Aquarium of the Americas and the Audubon Insectarium this week. We ended up having a BLAST! The drive took about 4 hours total. The kids did great! Even Addison was a great car rider for the trip.

Here are our pics from our day! I can't wait to go again :)

McKenzie and Taylor
Brandie (Mack's mom) under the entrance tunnel to the Aquarium!

Stingrays...we kissed these in Grand Cayman...supposedly brings good luck :)
The Crew! (Minus Addy)

This sign was in the bathroom of the Aquarium...it was the only sign in the room! Weird...it says: "Warning! Drinking alchoholic beverages during prenancy may cause severe mental and physical birth defects". Ok......
