Cousins Day

Last Saturday we invited Adlee’s cousins to come over and carve pumpkins.  We all had a really good time!

  

None of them wanted to touch the “yucky” stuff. 

Evelyn refused to even try!!

James had the brilliant idea to use a spoon to get the stuff out, so we wouldn’t have to touch it!

Adlee was not liking that she wasn’t a part of the fun.

Mark stayed for the A&M game while Teresa ran some errands, so he got to hang out with Adlee after this point!

We let James draw what he wanted cut out on one pumpkin and Lydia got to do the other one.  Jerred carved the boy one and I carved the girl one. 

Adlee LOVES her cousins!!

That's Amore!

Adlee has her first crush. He is in our youth group and is in the 8th grade, she likes the older boys, much older boys. Adlee has been eyeing him for about the past 2 weeks. She will see him from across the room and just giggle and smile, then she will get shy and put her head down, then look back up at him to make sure he's looking. Well, tonight she was flirting and his dad told him to put his hands out for her. Well, of course when he did Adlee about jumped into his arms. Little did I know he didn't know how to hold her, so he ended up just holding her like a baby, only really akwardly. Does it look like she minds?!?!

We don’t even want to talk about it!!

Yesterday Adlee watched a very important game with her Daddy.  But as always we play football on X-box first!!

Notice she is in her gear for the game!  Before the game I caught her doing her pre-game stretches.

The game started off GREAT!!!

We sure cheered on the sooners!

She thinks she saw a couple of Canes pull some face masks and it wasn’t called.

And then when Broyles didn’t come back after the half she was concerned!

And then reality set in!

Seriously?!?!  We lost?!?!

Like I said before, we don’t EVEN want to talk about it!

10 Months Old

I can NOT believe that Adlee will be a 1 year old in 2 months!!!  This time has flown by and I don’t even know how I feel about it yet.  She is such a big girl!  Sorry to say though there hasn’t been much celebrating happening here.  Poor Adlee woke up on Tuesday morning not feeling so well.  She and I both have been having bad allergies so I just figured that is what it was.  I went ahead and took her to my Mom’s house.  I called her when I got to school to see if she was any better and she said she needed to call the doctor because Adlee was very fussy (I could hear her crying in the background).  By the time they got to the doctor Adlee had been running a fever for a while.  Turns out my sweet little one has H1N1.  Yes that’s right folks, the nasty swine flu!  It’s kind of running crazy around these parts.  I had several kids in my class with it about 2 weeks ago, and there have been others at Adlee’s preschool this week (although thankfully not in her class).  Anyway, it really has not been as bad as the hype.  She has definitely not felt her chipper self, but after that first day she has been okay.  She hasn’t run any fever today and has played most of the day with no fussing so I would say we have beat it!!!  Now if Jerred or I don’t get it we will really have beat it :)

Not a flattering picture of me, but how sad is this?!?!  This was yesterday morning…we did LOTS of snuggling this week, which I did not argue with her about. 

Now back to the whole 10 month thing.  She is still the happiest baby ever (well, without the flu), and she talks and laughs all the time.  She just cracks me up!!

She has figured out how to do the peek a boo thing all by herself.  And the greatest part is, she laughs more under the towel than she does when she puts it down.  Her whole body shakes with excitement!

This week if she was crying and nothing  I could do helped all I had to do was let Sadie in, and she could do the trick!

And to prove to all the Grandmas that Adlee is actually better here is a video from today!  Notice who she is talking to at the end.  And please ignore the ad at the beginning of the video, it will go to Adlee after there over. 

Cute Baby Girl

Jerred and I took Adlee to the park this afternoon to have a little photoshoot.  She has been in the best mood all weekend, I suppose she is always in a good mood, it just seems like she gets happier and happier every day!!  She is 9 1/2 months now and time is flying by.  She cracks us up, in fact I think she tries to crack us up.  She has all kinds of “tricks” that she does now.  She will dance, clap, show muscles and click her tongue to make noises. Oh, she also fake coughs on a regular basis.  She starts school tomorrow at Memorial Road Sonshine school and I am so excited for her.  I think she is absolutely going to love it. 

Here a couple of the pictures from today!

Guess who's back???

We were both VERY thrilled to see Jerred this afternoon. At the airport Adlee was SO excited. She just kept looking up at him. She would stare for a second and then just giggle!! Now we are just trying to keep him awake so his time doesn't get all messed up.

So your saying there's a chance...

I haven't been mia lately, sorry faithful readers (Grandma's and Great Grandma's)!! My school has now been in session for 3 weeks and I am pooped. Also Jerred decided to leave me for a while to go to Africa so I am doubley pooped. He is coming home this weekend and I could not
be more excited to see that guy!!
Now the reason for this post. I am wanting to win this
