Adlee's Christmas Tree!

***This is my 4th blog post tonight, trying to catch up on posts so scroll down and read more!***
Here is a sneek peak at Adlee's Christmas tree! It turned out very cute! I need to get more ribbon for it and more green ornaments but it is very cute in her room:)

Thanksgiving 2010!!

This Thanksgiving was extra special for Jeremy and I. Although we are very thankful for our family and friends, this year we are most thankful for our precious little girl God blessed us with! It made us look even more forward to the holiday and for Christmas coming up.
This Thanksgiving we went to my Aunt & Uncle's house for a dinner. Of course we were in a food coma but it was nice just having to go to one place and enjoying the day with Adlee and of course not having to cook at our house.

I took my homemade Pumpkin Cheesecake and I was so happy I had to take a picture of it. Normally my cheesecakes crack down the center and I haven't figured out yet how to get them to not crack. I have tried the water in a pan and all sorts of tricks.


I got Adlee's little Thanksgiving shirt at Walmart for $3. I loved how it says Gobble Gobble!


My cousin's little girl Kenley is just a week older than Adlee!

Adlee and Kenley had fun playing on the floor. I really thought Adlee was going to crawl over to Kenley. She was trying and scooting all over the place.
My cousin with Kenley!


The Darnell fam!


This is Gracie, my Aunt's dog...poor thing could not figure out why so many people were invading her space. All dogs in our family are extremely spoiled!

Adlee and her Grandma!

Having some fun with little Kenley Lynn!

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We are really looking forward to Christmas!

Adlee is 5 Months Old!!!

Our little Punkin turned 5 months old on 11/18. Since her Mommy has been too busy to blog, I am just now updating!


Adlee really is a good baby! We are so lucky and feel so blessed every day!
She is growing like a weed and does not go back to the Dr. until Jan 3rd. Her 6 month appointment got pushed back a bit due to the Holidays!
So what is Adlee up to...
Adlee, you are wearing typically size 6 months clothes. Sometimes you can fit in 3-6 and others you can fit in 6-9...it just depends on the brand but mostly size 6 months.
You are sleeping really well at night. You may sleep through the night and sometimes you may get up once but if you do get up you go right back to sleep.
You are wearing size 2 or 3 diapers. Just depends on what we have and what we are using.
You love your cereal and think you are a big girl and try to grab the spoon and feed yourself.
We have given you Prunes (for obvious reasons) and Peas and just tonight started Green Beans.
You are rolling around all over the place. Sometimes you get mad if you are on your tummy and can't seem to get yourself to your back.
You love to play on the floor with your toys and play in your jumparoo.
You stick everything in your mouth. We are waiting for a tooth to pop in. We have been thinking it is going to happen for quite a while now.
You like to play peek a boo with Mommy!
Daddy can get you to giggle a lot more than Mommy!
You are a chatterbox...if only we knew what you were saying!
You like to act shy and bury your head in Mommy around some people!
You love daycare and your friends at daycare. They often times wake you from your naps but you still love it!
We are pretty set in our routine and you are ready for bed once 7:00 rolls around. We still do bath first and you now recognize your bottle and stare at it until you get it.
You also think you are a big girl and can hold your own bottle.
You smile really big at Mommy when Mommy says Cutie Pootie Tootie Fruitie! We are still trying to train your Grandma Cathy on saying it...one of these days she will get it...haha!
You are such a joy when you wake up in the morning....always a smile on your face!
Time is flying by and we love you more and more every day Adlee Girl! Mommy and Daddy are so in love with you!

A Serious Blog Catch Up!!!

I am catching up on blog posts! I have been terrible at updating our blog as I have been super busy making hair bows and tutu's. I had events the last 2 weekends where I have set up to sell my hairbows and have made oooodles and oooodles of bows!
This post is a bunch of random pictures that I wanted to include on the blog and have just had a chance to upload pics to my computer:)
I will be posting a few more times this evening to try and get caught up...so stay tuned!

Adlee Girl a day before daycare!


Bob The Builder! haha!


Love the cupcake hat my Mom got her at Covered Bridge Festival this year!

Jeremy's Mom came over to babysit and her and Adlee walked up town on a nice day and she found this cool vase and flowers at a store up town.

This was after Adlee's Class of 2028 photo shoot, thus the drool all over her shirt! She looks like "Oh my what just happened!"

Sleeping on her Daddy!

Turkey shirt! Thanksgiving post to follow!

Look at her crazy hair! Jeremy made me comb it that way after her bath one night! Poor baby! She loooooves her jumparoo!

She is rolling all over the place!!!

My spoiled rotten little sister Chloe!!! Total Diva!

Cutie Patootie!

Class of 2028!!

It seems as if there were a lot of babies born in our little town this year. Seemed like something was in the water and a lot of ladies were pregnant:) Well a few Mom's put their heads together and came up with the idea to do a Class of 2028 photo at our local photographer. This will be a fun memory for when these kids get in school and their graduation parties, see who ends up being friends with who and who dates, etc:)
Saturday we met at the portrait studio at 9a.m. Let me tell you all the babies were darling angels. They did wonderful!!! Here is the photo and it will be a great memory to have!!!
Adlee is seated 3rd from left and she is holding the little girl's hand next to her:) So precious. I wonder if they will grow up to be best friends? (I also made the hairbows in the hair of the 3 sitting there)
Hope you enjoy the photo as much as us parents enjoyed having it taken!!!

We had a great weekend! Adlee was a wonderful baby all weekend, it made it hard to come back to work today.
Jeremy's Dad stayed with us all weekend. They pheasant hunted this weekend with the doggies so there was a lot of snoring going on around our house....and it wasn't me:)
Adlee and I decided to do a little Christmas shopping this weekend so we headed out SAturday morning and met my Mom and Aunt Sherrie at the mall. We had a great day and Adlee was an angel all day. She liked sitting in her stroller and looking around at everyone and everything.
This was her before we left Saturday....so cute!

Sunday we headed over to visit family as my step cousin Jack is leaving for the Navy tomorrow. They had a little going away party for him. This was on the way in her cupcake hat....

Adlee smiling at her Grandpa John! She was excited that he folded her Mommy's laundry and unloaded the dishwasher. We could use his butler services all the time:)

I Cleaned My Plate!

Happy Halloween!

I am a little late posting Halloween pictures. Our internet was down for a couple of days and I have been super busy making hair bows. I am going to be setting up a table at a Holiday Bazaar at the Lutheran Church here in town in a few weeks and I will also be setting up a table at the town Holiday Parade which is the following weekend. So I am busy trying to get plenty of stock of hair bows made and presentable for people to buy!

Friday we had trick or treaters at work and Jeremy was able to bring Adlee in. She was a big hit in the office. I always love seeing the little kids and let me tell you, they make out like little bandits on the Halloween candy. We opted to not take candy, we just carried her bag around for fun, however we did have a few people sneek some pieces in the bag for the parents and grandparents:)

Our cute little Candy Corn!

She wasn't sure what to think about all this!

I had to take a picture of this set of twins...they were Garden Knomes and looked soooo cute!

Mommy and Adlee trick or treating to the offices!

Adlee in Mommy's office

Adlee and Daddy!

Adlee's trick or treat bag from Pottery Barn

All the excitement wore her out!

Halloween night, we passed out candy to trick or treaters at home. We decided not to take Adlee out that we would just like to pass out at home because we like seeing all the trick or treaters.

Adlee's friend Chloe from daycare came over with her parents. Chloe was a really cute Strawberry Shortcake:) Apparently, Vickie our babysitter, was dressed as a witch and Chloe did not like that very much when she went to Vickie's trick or treating!

Adlee loves her little friend Chloe and Chloe loves Adlee:)

The story with Adlee's costume is this....I searched and searched and wanted to find something clever that was not the usual Halloween costume for babies. So I kind of put this together myself but it turned out really cute and we received lots of compliments on it.

A lady at work knitted the hat.

White onesie

White tights (a.k.a. pantyhose..haha, that is what I told Adlee)

I made the tutu out of yellow and orange tulle

I bought the shoes off of Etsy for $10. The shoes did not fit the greatest but oh well, they were cute.

Very cheap costume. I didn't spend hardly anything on it other than the shoes and the tulle and elastic to make the tutu.

I guess buying Adlee's trick or treat bag from Pottery Barn made up for it;) Oh well, she will use it for many years!

This is Kate, she is our neighbor and she also goes to daycare with Adlee...she is so cute!

Adlee loved the trick or treaters. She sat in her seat by the door while I passed out candy and she hollered at them when they came up.

Apparently Adlee's Daddy dressed up as a #1 Steelers fan:)

In the mornings before we walk out the door to daycare, I sit Adlee in her seat so I can gather things up, rinse out bottles, etc. So these are just a few pics before daycare this week as she was looking so cute and is really fun to dress right now in Fall/Winter clothes.

Sassy Girl!

We gave Adlee cereal for the first time Saturday night. We took a video of it which I hope to post in the next few days!!! So cute!

Have a great week! I am ready for the weekend to hang out with my girly, make hairbows and hopefully do a little Christmas shopping!
