{memorial day}

So it's been a really long time since I've posted here. Time to blow the ole dust of the blog. Sorry about that!  Life has happened!

To say we had an awesome Memorial Day weekend is an understatement!  We had so much fun!

Friday night started the weekend off right with a concert!  Becca & I sat front row at Morrissey!  It was amazing and did not disappoint!



Saturday morning we did a Target run before dance class...



and then headed to a BBQ after nap time



Sunday it was up bright and early and beach bound!



And then off for a boat ride!



Monday morning was made for cuddling with our sun-kissed sweetie...



Cruising with the top down



Playing at the beach



Post-pool swinging with cousins



And falling asleep hard on the drive home



Hope you all had a fantastic kick-start to summer!  We have so much fun planned!

{halloween years past}

On a few blogs that I read, I am seeing that today they're doing a Halloween-through-the-years post today, so I thought I'd join in the fun.

{fun at the fair}

We've been to the County Fair 3 times this year...that's insane! Once was to watch my Dad's band perform, once was to watch Addison dance in her studio's showcase, and once was for a Preschool Field Trip. Phew! Once is usually more than enough for me!

I have nothing really clever to say, so here is a photo dump from last Friday & Saturday...

{catchin' up}

It's been a long while since I've updated, so here we go....

The biggest change as of late has been that Addie started attending a new preschool last month. We just felt she wasn't getting all that she needed from our last school, so we made the hard decision to make a move. I'm so glad that we did! She is learning so much and has really flourished in the past month. On the other hand, she really misses some of her teachers and friends so I'm trying to connect with them so we can still see them.

Ready for her Teddy Bear Picnic Field Trip to the Park

We spent Labor Day weekend home improvement-ing. It's been quite a few years since we've really done anything and it's amazing what a fresh coat of paint can do for a place. I'll have to take some pictures to share. Our home was purchased as a major fixer-upper, so we spent a good chunk of time bringing it out of the 70's pre-kidlet, but it's been a few years and needed a little love.

Picture Day @ Preschool

Addison is now dancing 2 days a week. She loved it so much this past Spring that we decided to immerse her a little more. She started dancing days a week during the Summer and has really improved her skills. She's even performing at the county Fair this weekend!

We try hard to keep her active and into something at all times. Spring will be here before we know it and she'll be old enough this year to play Soccer or Softball. I've left that decision up to her Daddy. She's also really into art & "reading" these days and we've since made her a little area that's all her own so that she can create to her little heart's content (more on that soon).

That's about all of the major happenings 'round here. Will be back soon with much more!

She's such a ham

{daddy's girl}

Before Addison was born, her Daddy bought her her very first set of golf clubs. He's taken her to the putting range before, but this past weekend we went to the actual driving range. She was beyond excited, but will definitely need some more practice. Before I know it she'll be out hitting the links with the boys!
