{project alicia} crazy days of summer

With summer coming to an end... so does Project Alicia's, Crazy days of summer.

{I heart the paper mama}: favorite pic from August

the best...

Seriously, I come from the best... PARENTS.
I have put them threw the ringer, but they have been there EVERY single time I have ever need ANYTHING. I love them. And I hope that Addison LOVES and respects me as much as I do them. Today has been a day from hell {that I will choose not to spare you with}.
But this made my whole day better.
I don't know what made me happier, my mom figured out blogger, or her sweet comment.
I kid people. I LOVE my mama!

A comment from my sweet mom.

My beautiful daughter, It seems just like yesterday you and Shay came home from the mall giggling about the guys you just met. And the day the family did a "drive by" Robbies family house while you were hanging out the window with pineapple leaves hanging out your nose. And the night we finally got to met Rob and he crashed his 4 wheeler into the dumpster, how impressed we were....haha Seriously my sweet girl how proud we are of both of you and the beautiful loving couple you guys have grown to be and our sweet gift from heaven "Addie". I sit here with tears rolling down my cheeks and my heart bursting with love for you and your family...for the love, kindness,joy,for your and Rob's pure love of life and living it to its fullest. My children have been my greatest blessing and joy. We love you both so much and wish you many, many more years of happiness, good health and pure love. Are love to you all xoxoxo Mom

i LOVE this girl...

Have a great weekend!

**Eight Years**

August 23, 2003, I married my best friend. I can't believe that it has really been 8years! Seriously I was just at my MIL's house and looked at her calendar - it said 8 years. In the back of my mind this past year I kept telling myself that we had the 7 year itch coming up, and well that should be fun =) BUT to my surprise, we hadn't only past it -we rocked it. Don't get me wrong. We have our moments. Mostly me... I have a lot, lol. But I seriously don't doubt that there isn't anything that we couldn't do - TOGETHER. I know that a lot of it had to do with how long just the two of us, where "just the two of us". We had time time to grow & learn together. Rob has been my rock. He has been there by my side in my most vulnerable times in my life. He has held me and told me at lease a million and one times that everything is going to be fine. He made my heart hurt less when I never thought I was going to give him the family I know he wanted. He AMAZED me with his support during a hard pregnancy. And he has AMAZED me times a hundred with what a fabulous and doting daddy he is to Addison. He has two of the luckiest girls there are. I can't wait to spend the rest of our forever with him.

This past weekend we took bubbles out on the boat with us. It was a nice way to keep her in the boat for at least a minute. Baby girl just wants to be in the water!

play along here!

**practice makes..perfect**

well maybe not perfect... but I'm going to get there. These are some attempts at stoping motion. The bigger the object the easier I found it was to do.
{and a special thanks to my sweet neighbor "C" for riding his bike up and down the street, lol.}

{ISO: in search of} **dream**

to be honest... I wanted to challenge myself with a new "dream" pic, but we never went anywhere to "dreamy" this past few days, so I hit my garden. And the rest is history, lol.

play along here!

{ISO: in search of} **water**

One of the funnest parts of our day includes water :)
play along here!

**hey batter batter**

Last night we went on a FUN family date to the Bee's game. We made this same attempt last year but the lil miss wasn't having it. This year.. it really was such a good time. Girl friend brought her pink mitt and wasn't too shy to yell for them to "throw her the ball". We ended up having a scout from the Cubs come and sit next to us, he was super cute with Addison. Then went over to the dug out and brought her a ball back. She was in heaven. She actually showed him some moves, he had to pick up her ball and give it back several times {I do... have THAT kid, lol}.
