What have we been up to?

You ask??? I have been a very bad blogger of late! Trying to do better...we will see if that happens or not now that school is officially out!

Drew having fun at his school Field day!
Our church held their 2nd annual Women's Tea. This year was a Mad Hatter Tea Party so of course, Addi wore one of her prettiest dress and hat to match! Yes, I know I have a problem....but I just can't help myself!

Drew's class was on the local news! Chesley from 11 Alive came and did a whole lesson on weather with the kids and then they were live on the 12 o clock news!
And of course we never miss our community's Touch A truck. Even though Addi has been every year since she was born (the first time she was barely a month old)....this was the first year that she really "got" it. She had a great time!!! And don't let Drew fool you....he loves it too (he is his mother's son).
And we have made many visits to the park lately. Addi loves it and every time we drive by our little park in Hiram...she squeals with delight and says "Let's doe swis way" (Let's go this way).

Duck Derby 2011.....Read All About It!!

Drew, Addi and I went to the Duck Derby this weekend (Keith missed it this year due to being out of town)! So much fun! The Cartersville Daily Tribune reporter took a liking to Addi (who wouldn't...lol?) and followed us around for over half an hour trying to get a good pic of her. Ha! Welcome to my world, Mr. Reporter. I just checked out their homepage and she did make their article!!! Click on the slideshow to see her. These are the best pictures I could get of Addi with the duck! Who woulda thought that I would have a kid that is afraid of anything...much less characters???

This little "Neigh-Neigh" was so cute!
Addi looked so cute in her little duck dress. Etsy is my best friend these days!


More Fun!

Waiting for the ducks to appear........
And there they are!!! Sadly, we didn't win the car this year (or last year, or the year before that, or.......)

Strawberry Picking!

We celebrated Mother's Day today by going Strawberry Picking! There is a cute little place about 10 minutes away that we go to every year! Of course, I had Addi's outfit picked out for months and could not wait for her to wear it today. It looks like about one wear is all she will get out of the top because she started eating the strawberries the minute we got there and her white shirt is now stained with strawberry juice. It is soaking as I type so we will see if I can salvage it or not!
