{summer 2012 - lil style break down}

Summer stylin - with the bug...

 {suit: target}

 {suit: kmart - ya I about died when I saw what cute stuff they had for cheap}

** However, I will have to say this - this suit was my least favorite,
it didn't hold up like the rest of them did. 

The elastic seems to be worn out. You get what you pay for, ya I know **

 {suit: old navy}

{suit: childrens place - sandals: salt water sandals}

This was the third pair of salties that she has had.   We LOVE them.  

They are pretty much her everyday shoe in the summer.

{WW: pet Zebra}

How cool would it be to say you had to run home,

to feed your pet Zebra?

We stopped on the way home from the lake

this past weekend to show baby girl.

The grin in her face was worth it. 

The pics: all from my instagram... breeellen13

 meet Ace... the freaking pet Zebra.

 And just to prove out pets are pretty freaking awesome as well...

    Meet Brodie... our dog that sports a

mowhawk during the summer months.

{wa wa wa weekend}

Lil girl went to have some cousin time with my sister...

My sister called me on Wednesday night and asked if

she could take her to instacare just to check.

She was told just as she figured, it was a bug bite & just to watch it.

This was Thursday:

{my sis called and said she thought we ought to call her Dr}

I LOVE her pediatrician... but I wasn't happy with them on Thursday.

I called the nurse twice and she never called me back...

I think my mommy instincts kicked in.

So we headed for PCMC.

* she was acting fine & said it didn't hurt *

* no fever....*

She was admitted for Preseptal Cellulitis, IV antibiotics.

The worst part being the IV.  Mama was holding back tears.

She got icecream, presents, room service...

We had to laugh, we had dinner in the cafeteria with the family.

Afterwards they went to there room and we went to ours.

Like we were at a freaking hotel or something.

In all seriousness.  What a wonderful hospital that was so very cute with out lil bug.

Our nurse on Friday kept asking Adds to cut his hair - with her new stuff from Mama Judy.

She told him no - and when it was time to get her to try the meds {before we could leave}

he came in with a pigtail and barrettes.  She was giggling so hard.

We spent the rest of Friday making play doh cookies...

**now if we can just get her to take her rx....**

we are going to pick up some different flavored stuff tonight.

{Easter 2012}

I love Easter.   I love the memories that I have from my childhood.   Even the ones where my sister and I are sporting afro type hair do's from sleeping in curlers.   Or the one where my eyes are almost swollen shut from crying beacuse my mom got hair spray in my eye - again from another great hair do, lol.  And my little brother's first Easter that he spent under bili lights in our living room, and the little bunny that he got.   I remember going to brunch at the Fort Douglas Club with all my cousins, and rolling easter eggs down the hill at the capital.   Even the Easter that my mom ended up rolling down the hill too.   

I hope to make some fabulous memories my my little bunny....

We started the weekend off by dieing Easter eggs...

Then Saturday.... this mama was on the hunt for a sweet bunny to snag a picture with.

And find one, I did - at Harmons.

She didn't cry... but was super shy.

When we left she asked me how he was going to get to our house, I told her he would hop.

She said, "what if he gets hit by a car?"

Um, he will watch both ways and be really careful. - go me =)

 Then is was time for an Easter Egg Hunt at Rob's parents.

We stayed a little too late which resulted in Addison not wanting to get up the next morning.

We finally got her up at 10:30.

 She was so fun this year.  I LOVE being a mommy.

We then went with my family to brunch at the Grand America.

(I am still working off those 4 lb's I gained that day)

AND... it was nice to see the same Easter Bunny who was totally unscathed from his travels.

 LOVE

 LOVE him..

 Mommy had to try really hard this year to get a pic in her Easter dress.

Family Picture

making memories:

2012: the year she got into the fountain in her dress

{and also the same year that my sis found her missing eyelashes stuck in her daughters flower -

of course finding them after brunch)

Easter egg hunt in the orchard...

I am blessed.

{love, my sister & ROCK IT}

I got this sweet email from my sister...

"This is an example of why you should never wear those pants again......just kidding.  Love you!"

I bought a pair of BCBG sweat pants...

I guess she hates them, lol.

Please know I LOVE my lil sister.  Even after this.
