Swim Lessons with Ms. Buffy

Addison started swim lessons in May with Ms. Buffy. At first I wasn't so sure how they were going to go; but, Addison started to warm up to "swimming". Buffy showed us a few things to work on after our first five sessions with her. We are working on those items and will start a new set of sessions in July. To date, Addison is pacticing kicks, jumping in the water, and blowing bubbles. We are still working on her actually blowing out water and not sucking it in. Addison likes to drink the water. Addison now will go down the slide and loves it!!!

After swim lessons we always go for a quick play on the playground!

Mother's Day 2010

For Mother's Day we took both my Mom and Nick's Mom to breakfast on Sunday morning. We then went back to my parents house for a little while and headed back to Pooler so Addison could nap a bit. That afternoon we went to the pool. It was a great Mother's Day.

Weekend filled with Parties

The weekend of the 8th of May we attended two birthday parties. First Madelyn's party which was themed after Alice in Wonderland as well as she had a petting farm come to the party. Terese, Madelyn's Mom, went over the top. I was so impressed with the decor for the Alice in Wonderland Tea Party. Addison had a great time with the petting farm part of the party. She wanted to hold each and every animal. We may have a future vet on our hands - Addison loves animals.

After Madelyn's party we rushed to Payton's outside water party. Addison had a great time at the water party too. We ended up staying at Robbie & Holly's (Payton's parents) until after 9pm.

Baseball Game for a Cause

We went to the Sand Gnats baseball game to help raise money for Cancer. Payton & Addison had fun at the game. I am not much on baseball so I enjoyed chasing Addison around rather than watching the game. I must document this little story from the game - There were some bouncers at the game. Addison saw them and wanted to go so bad to play on the bouncers. I noticed that there was a fee to jump on the bouncers and play the other games. Nick had given Addison some money earlier that night. I told Addison that Mommy didn't have any money on her so we could not bounce - Addison looked up at me and said I have money in my pocket. I asked if she wanted to give up her money to bounce. She told me yes. I figured once we got up there and she actually had to give up the money should would not want to; but, she did. So Addison had her first lesson on spending money at age 2 (how cool is that). Now I guess my next lesson will need to be on saving. Although she does a good job at putting money in her piggy bank when we give her money.

High Heels & Sunglasses

These pictures were taken during April and I thought I would include on the blog. A girl has got to have her sunglasses and heels!
