Happy Easter 2009!!

Happy Friday to ya'll!!

So, this week has just flown by for some reason!! I think this year so far has flown by at warp speed...I mean it's already EASTER!! Crazy!! I'm guessing this week has flown by for us because our week has been alittle crazy....

On Wednesday, Miss Mya decided she just did not want to be in her side yard and figured she would jump the fence into our neighbors yard to get out...twice! Well, that proved to be a big mistake because she ended up cutting her legs and feet up soooo bad...plus she punctured a spot around her ankle, tore off part of her toenail exposing the nerve, and tweaked her other leg!! So with Dan being in San Fran to watch our friend Manny Para (Woot-Woot! Go Brewers!!!) pitch against the Giants...we had no idea that she had jumped the fence and got hurt. But, since she decided to jump into our next door neighbors yard (which I guess is better than out onto the street)...they called HOA's and got our phone numbers to let us know what had happend. So I rushed home from work (mind you I had Addi with me...) and got her from the neighbors yard and cleaned her up a bit. She was pretty cut up...and there was blood all on the concrete in front of their yard...sooo gross!! Her leg was completely swollen and she was shaking...poor girl!! Anywho....to make a long story short...I took her to the vet at 7am the next morning. They cleaned her up really good, checked her all out, and gave her some antibiotics. And basically now, $170 later....she's fine. ;-)















On a different note...my boss is out of town this week for family vacation and it's just me and one other person in my office so I decided to bring Addi into work with me for the week. And let me tell you....it was AMAZING!! I normally get Tuesday's off to be home with her but this week I got to have her on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday!!! It was so much fun spending the day with her and not missing her all day long. I wish I could bring her in everyday...although I don't think I would get much work done because I would be playing with her the whole time!! She did great...I brought her playpin in and a whole bunch of toys. She was such a good girl!! Made my week to be able to have her with me!! Here are a few pics that I took on my phone...

Addi and Mommy hanging at work...(check out those chubby cheeks!!)

And....finally...Addi had her Easter party at Gma & Gpa Bailey's with all the other kiddos and Gma got a few pics of Addi in her Easter party outfit that Gpa Kruse & Gma Cheryl got her (among many other awesome treats!!) ! *Thanks Dad and Cheryl...we LOVE all her clothes and goodies!! Sooo cute!! She looks like a little bunny.....toooo cute!! I will def have more pics after this weekend and the Easter festivities....tomorrow Dan and I are taking her to get her picture taken with the Easter Bunny and Sunday is family day.














































































Ok well, that's the update from this week....We hope you all have a wonderful Easter!!!














Until next time... xoxo Aly

Happy Birthday!!!

Happy 1/2 year old birthday to my baby girl!!! I cannot believe that my Addi girl is 6 months old today!!! It seems as though the last 6 months have just flown by....and today, I have mixed emotions. I am happy and excited on one end because she is starting to be soo much fun, smiling and laughing and "chit chatting" and I am looking forward to the months to come like crawling and saying "mama".....but on the other hand I am kinda sad because she is getting sooo big and isn't really a baby-baby anymore, you know. She's getting to be so independent, she wants to hold her own bottle now and is into everything and doesn't need me for certain things anymore. It's amazing though to look at her an see her daddy in her and see this little person that she is becoming. She's def not a"blob" anymore :-) She is such a good baby and so sweet and so loving....I could not have asked for a better little girl.

Today, 6 months after she came into this world, I think about how much our lives have changed...soooo much for the better. She has brought so much joy into our lives and so much happiness. She makes me smile everyday. She makes me realize what life is all about and makes me want to be a better person and a better mother. I am so thankful that she has come into our lives and could not imagine my life without her. So, today I say...

"Happy 1/2 year old Birthday to you, Happy 1/2 year old Birthday to you, Happy 1/2 year old Birthday dear Addison Rylee....Happy 1/2 year old Birthday to you!!!"

I LOVE you baby girl!! Love, Mama

Oh Spring....

Oh how I love spring....the smell of the blossoming flowers and fresh trees, the warm sun, long walks at night, .....and Addi's spring/summer wardrobe!! Sounds silly but...besides all the normal stuff I love about spring, this year I am particularly looking forward to spring because I get to dress Addi girl in all of her adorable dresses, floppy hats, and summer sandals. She has such a cute little wardrobe...I mean, the girl has a walk-in closet!! I don't even have a walk-in closet. I probably have 1/2 the amount of clothes my 5 1/2 month old daughter has...what is wrong with that picture!?!?!

Anywho, as most of you know, last weekend was beautiful....def spring like weather. We had Jordan's baseball game on Saturday out at a park in Natomas so of course I had to put Addi in an adorable little dress, sun hat, and sandals. Of course! She looked soooo cute!! It was pretty funny cause she is sooo white ( I mean white), as most babies are.....so I made sure to go to the store before hand and get SPF 50 sunscreen so she wouldn't burn. Mind you we're only in spring, not summer, so it was only like maybe 75 degrees outside...nothing to get too worried about ;-) haha

So I took some photos of her from the game and here they are....

We also got to hang with family over the weekend, which is always nice....on Saturday night we hung out with Gpa Kruse, Gma Cheryl, and Uncle Kyle. We had so much fun!! We went to Olive Garden...and I must admit that I never really liked that place but it is def starting to grow on me now. I think the unlimited bread sticks and salad kinda hooked me on this last trip ;-) hehe Sunday after Dan's baseball game we headed over to Gma & Gpa Bailey's house for a BBQ. Yummy ribs!! I went the Martha Stewart route...my attempt to be domestic ;-) ....and made a homemade macaroni salad...and let me tell you...not to toot my own horn or anything but...yuuuummy!! So good! I think i've been eating macaroni salad for lunch for days now!!

Anyways....since I try and get updated pics of Addi with all her family as much as I can I got some really great family photos....Enjoy!!
