Happy {non}iversary Kyle!

9 years ago today marks the day Kyle kissed me after a horrible day.

We weren't "suppose" to date because we were best friends and "best friends don't date". We kept our relationship a secret for a couple months even though I'm pretty sure everyone knew. On July 22nd Kyle told me he loved me. And the rest is history.

We've been through so much together but I wouldn't trade it for the world.

Here's to many more (non)iversaries baby. I love you more than you'll ever know! Thank you for everything you've ever done for me (and Addison).

Day in the life....

So a lot of bloggers have been doing a "day in the life of..." post and I thought I would join in.

Today addi woke up at 9:45. Yes, 9:45. I almost had a heart attack. She was up from 4am-9pm the day before so I'm sure she was exhausted.

I had already showered and got dressed since I woke up at 8. I threw some clothes on Addi and out the door we went. We met up with Jess at Natural Nails for a pedicure. Addi got her fingers and toes painted. She loves getting them done by "the lady's at the nail place". I may have created a monster.

At 11:30 we headed out to Lighthouse Mall for some new Crocs. I swear she grows out of them before the summer is over but they are so easy to clean and throw on I really don't care. We then headed over to Carter's and picked up a new dress for her, Emileigh and Olivia and shirts for Mason and Brayden. The dresses may or may not all match :)

{Addi's is yellow with an orage flower. She wore it yesterday. And she currently lives in her Crocs so no picture...}

By 1:30 we were home and I sent her outside to play so I could clean the kitchen. While I had a cleaning bug I cleaned out my car and started the bathroom. Addi asked to play games so I stopped to play with her. My house can wait, my baby won't be little forever. By 2:30 I realized that we hadn't ate lunch yet so I popped some chicken nuggets and sweet potato fries in the toaster oven and played a ravishing game of Richard Scarry's busy town eye found it. Addi "won" in case you're wondering. We ate lunch while watching power rangers and took a little rest after. Since Addi doesn't nap anymore we have rest time after lunch. She has to lay down for at least an hour. It's a nice break to our otherwise crazy day.

Around 4 or so we got up and played some more. I really forgot to take a lot of picutres but we read books, went to the grocery store and around 6:30 I cooked dinner (yummy Italian sausage on the grill and some noodle thing from a bag). After dinner we cleaned up, put on jammies and cuddled on the couch watching Super Why. Bedtime was at 8, actually going to bed was about 8:30-8:45 after the constant "mommy I need a tissue", "mommy i need to go potty!!", "mommy can I have my game? Please?! Just one game I promise!" I stayed up until 11:30 or so catching up on my shows and doing laundry.

And that's a day in the life of us!

Friday phone dump

We haven't done much this week, except play outside in our newly (re)fenced yard, watch power rangers, visit Ms. Rachael and Bailey, play with Jake, and end with cuddling with Cory. Pretty good week :)

SUYL: moms of girls

This week over at Kelly's Korner, it's all about being a mom to girls (or girl in my case). I absolutely positively love being a mom to a little princess. From the moment I knew where babies came from I always wanted to have a girl first then boy. So when I got pregnant with Addison I hoped and prayed I'd have a little girl first. My nana had died a few months before I got pregnant so I'd always "talk" to her asking her to give me a girl. She knew how much I not only desperately wanted a baby, but a girl at that. For 20 long weeks I had to wait to find out the sex of my baby. Kyle and I already had a boys name but we were stuck on a girls. I of course went out and bought baby name books and spent countless hours online looking for thr perfect one. One night we were eating dinner at Applebee's with a friend and the Cubs were playing. Kyle said "how about Addison if it's a girl? Wrigley is on Clark and Addison and we both like the cubs and it's a pretty name, what do you think?". I.was.in.love. Then at 19 weeks we found out we were having a girl and I cried like a baby. I was so incredibly over the moon happy.

And the rest is history.

I'm a girly girl at heart so to have a daughter who loves to play dress up and put makeup on and play with babies, babies, have tea parties and loves thr color pink is amazing.

At the same time though she's a tomboy. She loves to be outside and get dirty. While in a dress or skirt mind you.

Early Easter

On Sunday we had Easter dinner at the inlaws. It was nice to see them and their new kitchen/living room and Addi loves to go over there. I'm glad the weather cleared up in time for the egg hunt. Addi had such a blast looking for the eggs. In tradition, one of the eggs was lost again. She blamed it on the squirrels so she pounded on a tree saying "Give it back!! It's mine!!" LOL too cute!

This weekend we have dinner and a hunt at my dads house. And I get to see my niece and nephews (they are in Texas). I miss them sooooo much!

Chicago Bound!

Jess and I decided to do something fun with the kiddos last week and take them to Chicago. We rode the train, went to the Museum of Science and Industry and then to the Rainforest Cafe. The kids were so good, even with the crowds of people, no naps and being busy all day. We thought for sure they would have fallen asleep on the train ride back..umm NO! super hyper the entire ride. We got home late and then had to be up early for a Bellaboos field trip the next day. Oh man. Never again will I do that. I was so incredibly sore, Addi was tired and cranky. But we both took naps on Friday and things were fine after that. I'm looking forward to our "family fun day" this week. I think we are going to Fair Oaks farm if it's nice *crossing fingers*!!!
