Now I Know My ABC's....

Yeah Addison!

Making the Best of Cabin Fever

Addison and I have been trapped inside since Tuesday morning while tropical storm Fay hangs out on top of us. So, this afternoon we decided to make the best of it and go outside anyway between the rain bands. Fortunately, we haven't been getting too much rain although as I type this the wind is stronger and the rain is heavier than its been! She looked so cute with her rain jacket on, I had to snap a picture. The picture with all her jewelry on was another attempt to kill some time her although that only lasted 5 minutes!! I didn't realize how much we went outside...

Aren't I pretty?

The Itsy Bitsy Spider....

Mom is 30!

I had my 30th birthday this weekend and had a great time! Bryan got tons of friends together for a crazy dinner at Taverna Opa on International Drive. There were napkins flying in the air, techno music blaring and dancing on the tables with belly dancers! I never knew dinner could be like that! Nichole and Fred even drove all the way up from south Florida to celebrate with me. Here are a few pictures from the night and of course some of Addison because I can't post without a picture or two of her.

Bryan & I...

I came back from the bathroom and this is what I saw... my husband dancing on the table with a belly dancer!

Some of the girls dancing on the table...

I was forced on the table while the waiter blew this really loud horn and the entire restaurant sang "Happy Birthday" to me!

This was Addisons present to mommy... a few minutes alone with a marker and look what happens!

Irish Family Reunion

We all headed up to Alabama for a trip to see most of the Irish family at Gramma and Papa's lake house. All 19 of us snuggled up together and had a great time! There was lots of swimming, boating, fishing, and relaxing. We celebrated Addison's birthday, Aunt Laura and Uncle Carl's anniversary, and Papa's birthday. It was quite a celebration! Addison got to meet some new cousins... Mattie, Jonah, and Preston as well as see an old familar face... Caleb. Papa got the Biggest Fishie award with a 22 lb Striped Bass.
