Just sit her in front of a TV

This is what happens when I cook dinner and ask Jerred to watch Adlee.

Luckily for him Yo Gabba Gabba was on and could keep her occupied.

That’s alright, he made up for it later.  I guess I’ll keep him.

And because of the weather Adlee hung out with cousin Gary.

Strike a Pose!

Tonight Adlee had a “fashion show” for her Sonshine School Program.  Her daddy got to walk her across the stage.  This is her in her zone before her big debut.

Mother, not mother…

Only my Dad and brother will get that movie reference.  Since Mark doesn’t read this, I guess that is just for my Dad. 

Anyway, today is mother’s day so I need to give a shout out to the important ladies in our life.  Let me start by saying I regrettably do not have a recent picture of Adlee with her Mimi (Jerred’s Mom), although on Thursday I will fix this!!  She is still an important lady in our lives so she deserves to be a part of this post, and I will put her picture up next weekend :)  We love Mimi, after all she did raise my best friend, and I might add she did a great job!  Thank you Mimi for always helping us out when we need it and doing so much for us!!

I have two BEAUTIFUL Grandma’s!!  If I look this good when I am a great Grandma I will be happy!!  This is my MeeMaw.  MeeMaw is my seamstress and has taught me some things, nothing to be proud of yet, I am no good…but I plan on working with her more this summer!  I already told her I will be having a slumber party without Adlee!!

This is Grandmommie, she has taught me everything I know about make-up!!  Just look at that skin.  I am telling you, two gorgeous Grandma’s!  We love visiting Grandmommie in Texas.

And of course, I couldn’t ignore Honey!!  To say Adlee loves her Honey would be an understatement.  When I take her over there I can’t leave fast enough for Adlee, she continually tells me bye.  But I would not have it any other way.  My Mom is not only my Mom, but my best friend!!

We love ALL 4 of these women so much!!!! Happy Mother’s Day!!!!!!!

She’s going to be brilliant!

When I tell people Adlee still isn’t walking I hear a lot about how kids who walk late are smart.  If there is anything to this Adlee will be in good shape when it comes to school.  However, I won’t be hearing that anymore because I have a walker.  She is a little over 17 months and she is on the move.  All weekend she has been working on it, but I would say as of today it is official!  I am a little afraid she will be running tomorrow and I will never catch her!!!  What a mess!

This last weekend we had to take a surprise trip to Texas.  Saw some old friends and hung out with family!  Of course the bluebonnets are beautiful right now and being from Texas I couldn’t pass up the cheesy tradition!

Eyes

This is my first photo contest, All About Eyes. I always wished there would be some slim chance that my children would have bright blue eyes. I have never like my dark dark brown ones. Well, now I know blue/green eyes aren't the only ones that can melt me. :)


To join in this party, or to see other fun pictures go over to Mandy's Blog.

I love my brother

And his job!  Mark has a really great job at Chesapeake and gets some nice perks with that great job.  One of these is occasional tickets to Thunder basketball games.  Tonight was one of those games.  And it just so happens that they were playing the spurs…my favorite team. My nice brother took James, Lydia and me!  I was very torn about who to cheer for, because I would always cheer for the thunder.  It was a great game and the spurs did end up winning, I had decided I would be happy either way.

IMG_3250

Oh wait, did I fail to mention how great the seats were?!?!  We were so close.   Best quote of the night was when Lydia (5 years old) saw the scantily clad cheerleaders and said “I think they are cold.”  She also said they had sparkly belts on their underwear, and she bets they don’t wear those outfits to church!  She’s funny!!

IMG_3251  Hey Manu!

IMG_3254

We constantly had to find “Rumble,”  I think deep down Lydia was concerned he was going to get close.

IMG_3256

Snacks were a must!

James did more ear covering than Lydia did, but it did get very loud at the end!

Thanks for the ticket Markie, it was lots of fun!!

And since some of you only care about Adlee’s life and not mine, maybe this will tide you over.
