Adysen has four teeth!!!

Well, we have been waiting for the top teeth to come in. Adysen has been pulling her ears every day for over a week. Well, yesterday while sitting in my lap I could hear her griding her teeth so I looked and for sure, she has both top teeth coming in together. Now she can eat corn on the cob...as my sister says. LOL!!!

Ethan's End of Year Program with Pre-K

Ok, this was a really cute program. I'm sad to see it go. There will be very little fun things like this anymore. Once they start Kindergarten it is more like what we remember from 1st Grade!! I don't remember many fun programs like this once we started "real" school. Anyway, I just wanted to share a few photos from the program.

First is Adysen watching her big brother on stage. She was amazed by everything...until she fell asleep right in the middle of it all!!

Now, on with the show! No, Ethan is not a HAM at all!!!

Here they are being WILD! They are actually singing a song that says "I'm Wild!"

Then they show their claws, beat their chests, and roar!!!

Then the next song is called Get Happy! First they Get Funky, Do the Monkey, Get Clappy and Get Happy!!!! So sweet!

Each class had a little presentation to give and then they showed a really long slideshow of the kids throughout the year. Of course, Ethan was one eating BBQ Chicken and had it all over his face! It was a really cute ending to a fun year!

OMG...Did you watch One Tree Hill's Finale??? SPOILERS!!!

First of all, I did not know what to expect when Lucas and Peyton left last season, but I am happy to say that I loved the new season without them. Not that I don't miss them on the show, but I was pleasantly suprised on how quickly I became attached to Clay and Quinn's characters. Nathan and Haley have been a favorite since the series began, so it's always nice to still have them around...glad to see that Haley is finally moving past her mother's death...life goes on, right? BUT.....I know that OTH has been picked up for another season, but I will be biting my nails until we find out what happens to Clay and Quinn....can you believe that crazy Katie girl who wants Clay actually shot he and Quinn last night??? I guess if she couldn't have him then no one could!! CRAZY...DRAMA!!!!

Hilton Head, SC weekend

We decided to take a short beach trip this past weekend. This was Adysen's first trip to the beach. I was hoping that she would be crawling before we went, but it turns out that sitting up was all she needed!!! Ethan always enjoys running in and out with the tide. He says it makes him feel like he's moving when he stands in the edge and watches the ride roll. We had a blast and we could not have chosen a better weekend for the weather!

After playing in the sand and water...and flying kites until the wind broke them everyone was ready for a bath and a nap. Adysen had dirt in every crease and fold of her little chubby body!!

After the naps were over Ethan wanted to go and see some boats so we went up to Shelter Cove Harbour and ate dinner outside at a neat Mexican restaurant that I grew up going to called San Miguel's. Adysen was happy to sit in her little high chair and watch us eat. She finally decided she did want her bananas and then a guy began to play guitar and sing at the bar area and she was very into that scene! She froze like a little statue....she stared at him for over five minutes without moving. I think she was trying to figure out where all the sounds were coming from.

After dinner we walked around the Marina and ended up at a little park and let Ethan play for a while. Adysen was perfectly content in a little swing all to herself.

After this Ethan said he wanted to play games so we went to Adventure Cove Arcade and played a few games and got some ice cream and headed back to the room for a little rest!

The next morning Ethan and I got up and went back out on the beach to let him pick up seashells like he always does. We ran into a little visitor on the way who was hissing and trying to bite everyone who walked past him.

Ethan let me take a few pictures of him, but not many. He was too interested in getting more wet that the day before when he actually had on a swimsuit. I ended up having to blow dry his shorts so he could wear them home once we left. LOL!

Then it was time to head home. We started out through the Resort and as we wound through the little curvy roads Jonathan noticed something in one of the little waterways between tennis courts and a golf course. Of course, we had to get out and get a closer look!






Then we were finally able to leave. Everyone had a great time and we will go back again soon. It's always too much fun to not go back!

Mother's Day weekend

This weekend was a busy one! Saturday we spent the day with my Mom for Mother's Day. My sister, TeaLisa, and I took Mama (GG...to the kids) and our children (Ethan, Adysen & Braydon) to the park. We wanted to make sure the boys were entertained while we were together, so there was no better option than to go to the park. Within 10 minutes the boys were so sweaty they looked like they had been playing in a sprinkler!! Adysen sat on my knee and destroyed the tablecloth Mama brought to cover the picninc table...I finally had to tear it away...out of her reach so she would stop trying to eat the paper!! Mama was very suprised to see that we had taken the kids to Free Spirit Pottery and made a large plate with the Ethan & Braydon's handprints...and Adysen's footprint on it. Right before they all left we got a phone call from Allison (who owns Adysen's daycare) and her son Cameron (who is Ethan's age and was in preschool with him) asking for us to come to their house to go swimming, so the rest of the afternoon was spent at their house down the street playing in the pool. Ethan cannot swim yet, so it was nice to see that with a life vest and floaties that he was brave enough to go down the slide into the water. He fell off of a float twice and we had to pull him out...but he was fearless!

Sunday was a special day for a few reasons. First, it was Mother's Day and I received my sweet gifts from the kids. Ethan made a picture frame with a photo of himself in it, bookmark with a sweet little poem on it, and best of all a flower pot with little ladybugs, flowers, etc on it made out of his fingerprints in paint and it came with potting soil and flower seeds. Sweet! Then, I was even more suprised to see that Jonathan had been hiding Adysen's gift from daycare from me. Who expects a gift from an infant?...well, I got one. Daycare made a card from her with a photo of her inside, a poem in a frame, and a little wooden hanging ornament with her footprint in paint on it...too cute!

Then we went off the church....it was baby dedication day!...and Adysen's 7 month birthday! This was an event that we will never forget. There were 9 children being dedicated of all ages, yet our daughter was the loudest one up there! She was laughing, making her "dinosaur" sounds, and spitting everywhere. We could not stop laughing and neither could the people in the congregation. Before it was all over Jonathan pointed out that she had spit soooo much that the bible on the alter table was wet in spots where her spit had reached!

After church it was back home to spend the afternoon with Nana (Jonathan's Mom) for Mother's Day. She does not like to make moments about her, so she still cooked and everything. She grilled hamburgers and hotdogs and Ethan was so excited to give her her gift that he would not even wait until she was finished digging through the freezer to open it herself. When we made the plate for my Mom we also made a pitcher for Nana with Ethan's handprints and Adysen's footprints on it. Next thing you know she had taken her vase of flowers off of the kitchen table and put them into the pitcher right in the middle of the table.

After lunch it was back home to do housework since we had not really been home all weekend. Then nap time!!

Happy Mother's Day to all the Mothers who read this!
