Rides and Fries AKA DisneyWorld 2011

We have alot going on lately so I have been slacking on the blogging:) On a side note..we are building a house, sold our house in less than 30 days and are closing June 15th. We are hoping our new home is ready in September! Along with trying to pack a house and all the other craziness, we took a break and went on a FABULOUS and FUN trip to DisneyWorld!!! We couldn't have had a better time! Addy LOVED it more than I could have ever imagined! We weren't sure what to expect at her age, but she exceeded all our expectations! She did great on the plane ride, slept in a hotel for the first time and in a full bed for the first time and was a champ the entire time! She would also nap (pass out) in the stroller during the days. We did all 4 parks throughout the week and went to most of them multiple times. Addy has never been on a "ride" before so we weren't sure of that...well, as soon as we checked into our resort, we headed to Magic Kingdom. Once she saw the rides, she kept pointing and saying over and over, "rides, rides, rides." Once she went on one, she was hooked! She got off her first ride, looked at us and said, "more rides please." We about died laughing! On another note, she would ask for fries several times throughout the day so what a princess asks for, she gets:) It got to the point where she would wake up in the morning and ask for rides and fries, then proceed to say bus to get the rides and fries. She also ADORED and LOVED all the characters. She had an autograph book and had so much fun getting them all to sign as well giving them hugs and kisses. She HAD to give them all kisses...love it! Such a sweet girl! One highlight of our trip for me is when she met Pooh. Addy sleeps with a Pooh so I was excited for her to meet him. She RAN to Pooh and gave him the biggest hug of hugs. It melted my heart and I had tears:) She just melted into him...we couldn't even see her face. I am so thankful Pop got it all on video! I had to pry her off of Pooh....I couldn't even believe it! She was so sweet and blew him kisses and then said, "bye bye pooh." Awwwww.... I could go on and on about our week at Disney....such an amazing time to see such a magical place through the eyes of our tiny Princess. Watching and seeing that pure joy is priceless!

(we took over 1500 pictures so here is a glimpse of just a few:))

Fashionista in the Making

Back in February, Addy got asked to be in Nordstrom Fashion Show on March 26. (think we may shop there a little too much:)) I had kinda forgotten about it until the manager of the kids dept called in March to schedule a time for us to come and pick out her outfit to wear....how fun! We decided on this ADORABLE one piece zebra/pink tutu outfit. It just seemed to fit Addy's outgoing, vibrant personality! She looked too precious for words in it! So last Saturday, we ventured to Nordy's (what we like to call it) at 9am. It was such a fun experience and extremely well organized! There was even a make-up station for the girls! Addy sat and got just a little blush and lip gloss....she LOVED it!! She saw all the other girls getting it done and waiting very patiently for her turn. Now we were all ready for the runway:) As we were waiting in line for her turn, she kept pointing to the runway and saying "go" "go"....she was ready for her fashion debu. There was an announcer and they read a little blurb about each kid along with their age. Addy first got down and started to walk and then she looked up and saw all the people and looked for me. So I went down the runway with her and we did a few twirls at the end.:) We just had a blast! It was just SO fun and she LOVED it! All of the grandparents, cousins, and Aunt Sue were there. She gave all of them the biggest grin afterwards! I think we may have a Future Fashionista!

Dallas Zoo

We took Addy to the Dallas Zoo for the first time a few weeks ago! It was a beautiful day and we couldn't of asked for more perfect weather! The newer section, Out of Africa, was amazing! We spent most of our time there with the giraffes. If you haven't been, you can feed the giraffes and they actually come up to you! Addy loved it!! She kept saying, Giraffes, Giraffes! One of the giraffes actually camed up to her and sniffed her arm up and down. She literally froze and gave a loud squeal! We thought it was funny, but Addyson didn't! :) Here are just a few pics of our wonderful day!

Sports!!

Addy loves playing soccer and t-ball at home. She also enjoys going to all of her cousins soccer, softball, and basketball games and always wants to play to so I decided to sign her up for a preschool sports class. She LOVES it!! We have so much fun together! I took some pics of this weeks class. It was hard to catch her since she was always on the move!
