More Random Things...

This is a totally random post about this and that!


Look at this crazy dog! Seriously?! She thinks she owns the house!

I am prepping for Adlee's 1st birthday party. These are the centerpieces for the guest tables. I made them myself and they were very cheap! The tins came from Target $1 section. Actually a lot of things for Adlee's party came from there.

Last week we had a shower here for my co-worker and I made this banner with my Cricut.


These are the cute cookies. They came from the same place I am getting the cupcakes for Adlee's bday party. A couple of my baby showers, the goodies came from this place as well.


Last weekend I went to see the movie Bridesmaids with my girlfriends. It was totally hilarious. This is Megan and when I say Megan I mean this Megan...haha!


Not that my perfect little angel will ever need it but I found this time out bench at Hobby Lobby today on clearance for $8. It matches her room and it is super cute so I got it!

Memorial Day, Swimming Pool and Misc.

My blogging has been bad lately! We have been so busy and I have not had much time to do any blogging. Last weekend Jeremy was out of town fishing with a few of his buddies. Adlee and I hosted a jewelry party and attended a Baby Shower. I was in charge of planning a Baby Shower at work last week so I was very busy preparing for that.

We have had a great long weekend. We weren't sure how it was going to start off as Adlee was not feeling the greatest but she seems to be doing ok. Saturday we had plans to go to a friends lake, however, Mother Nature had other plans. The weather was not the greatest and we did not want to be out and about with bad weather. Saturday evening Jeremy and I attended the Graduation party of Taylor B. Taylor is a high school senior who has babysat for us a few times. Adlee's grandparents babysat for us since the party was in the evening. Although, several of her friends from daycare was at the party. Sunday we decided to road trip to Chicago area and head to Ikea and Bass Pro. It was fun! Adlee was a trooper but I think we wore her out. She ended up sleeping until 8:30 this morning. I went to check on her several times as she has not slept that late since I was on maternity leave:)
Today we had more of Adlee's grandparents over for lunch. We also put Adlee in her little pool for the first time and she loved it! She was splashing water all over all of us. My Dad pulled her around in the wagon he bought her the day after she was born and she also loves her wagon very much!
I have been busy planning Adlee's 1st bday party! The party is in less than 3 weeks! Oh My! I am going to be very busy the next couple of weeks.
Jeremy has 8th grade promotion already tomorrow. This school year has gone by fast! Seems like we were just having the holiday party at our house.
Here are a few pics of Adlee today playing in her pool as well as a few from last week one day before work/daycare.

Adlee is 11 Months Old!

Our little Adlee Girl is 11 Months Old today! Oh my! She is doing something new about every day!

Here are our outtakes from the 11 Month photo shoot!

Adlee is a very busy little girl. She is constantly on the move and into everything! Adlee is noticing everything right now and pointing to everything. She likes to say Mama, Dada, Ball, Dog, Oh, and many other things we have no clue what they are.
Adlee has 8 teeth!
Adlee has started to walk behind her little baby stroller. She is not walking by herself just yet but we are practicing.
Adlee loves to play with ALL of her toys and get ALL of them off the shelf.
Adlee's newest thing is throwing the ball for the doggies. She gets so excited and so proud of herself. She likes to gross Mommy out and put it in her mouth first....eewww!
We are working on more table food for Adlee. She is trying to get used to some of the textures. She loves her yogurt melts and puffs though. She eats those like a CHAMP!

As you can see from the picture below, she likes to get that Oh! expression on her face! It is so cute!








I have exactly 1 month to finish planning Adlee's 1st birthday party! It is gonna be a great one!

Couple Cute Pics of Adlee Girl!

Adlee walking behind her little stroller she got from her Grandma and Grandpa for Christmas! She is so proud of herself! She also learned how to throw the ball for the dogs too. But first she has to put it in her mouth to gross her Mommy out!

Side note-my daughter is not wearing highwaters. Her pants always creep up on her chunky legs:)

We had a garage sale this weekend and my Mom came up on Friday to help me out and all Adlee wanted her to do was push her around the garage in her wagon!

A Wonderful Mother's Day Weekend!

This has been the best weekend and I don't want it to end. The Mother's Day festivities started on Friday evening. Jeremy went to stay the night with his Dad as they were in a fishing tourney the next day so his Mom and my Mom came over and the 4 of us girls had a slumber party.

Let me start by saying that Adlee brought this cute little flower home for me from daycare on Friday. It is cute little things like this that I love so much! The kids put these together on Friday for their Moms. Vickie helped Adlee with hers!


Us girls went to eat dinner at the German restaurant Friday night and it was really yummy! Adlee had a ball because there was an Accordian player playing music. Adlee was dancing in her seat and the lady kept talking to her. There are also a million nick nacks on the walls there so she was looking at everything. Part of our gift to the Mom's was dinner. They had on special a really yummy wine that had fresh sliced strawberries in it.


I got this cute little card from Adlee.

Adlee's Grandma's got the card and helped her with it.



Another part of the Mom's gift were these summer slippers. They wore them Friday night lounging around the house. They also got a few other surprises in their goody bags.




It was nice having 2 Grandma's over, I was able to get a few things accomplished Saturday before they left. We are having a garage sale this weekend so I was able to get garage sale stuff in the garage. Now I just have to price it this week.






Jeremy and Adlee made my 1st Mother's Day super special! I loved the day so much and don't want it to end.



I received a nice card from each of them. I also got pearl earrings. I had received a pearl necklace for Christmas from our Mom's. Pearl is Adlee's birthstone so he got me earrings to match.




We went to my favorite sushi restaurant Ko Fusion for lunch. Jeremy was playing with Adlee and the chopsticks. He was grabbing at her tongue with the chopsticks and she loved it! Ko Fusion had wonderful high chairs. Like the best we have seen thus far in any restaurant. The only problem was the bathroom was not kid friendly and did not have a changing station so I had to change her in the back of my car. I got a new car this week so luckily we have a back that goes up and I am able to change her diaper back there.





After we ate we went to the Pottery Place. I wanted to paint a plate with Adlee's hand print on it for my 1st Mother's Day. Now the plate will take 4 days until I can pick it up so don't judge my art work but you can kind of get an idea. It was super fun and I want to go back and paint some more things. I was a little overwhelmed and so I feel as if I could have done a better job. I will have to go back to paint something else.




After the Pottery Place we went to a few stores and then went to Lake of the Woods to take a few pictures. I am trying to capture a good pic of Adlee that is good enough to put on her 1st birthday party invite. It was such a nice day.
























When we got home we played outside. We flew a kite Adlee got for Easter. I won't even mention how Jeremy flew it because it was very redneckish! Let's just say a fishing pole was involved.....You Might Be A Redneck! We also blew bubbles. Adlee got bubbles for Easter and we blew a few bubbles. After dinner we went on a good walk. It has been a wonderful day!









Our girl is sound asleep. Her naptime got interrupted today but she was a good girl! Happy Mother's Day to all you Mommies out there! It has been a wonderful day for me!

Lately...

I have a few pics on my camera of what Adlee has been up to lately!

Adlee got Harley jeans for Christmas so she wore them this week. They were super cute on her. Adlee's Daddy used to have a Harley.
le



The girl makes all sorts of funny faces!



On the morning of the Royal Wedding, we tuned in to some of the coverage before we had to leave for work/daycare. Adlee wore her I Love Mummy shirt from Gap in London in honor of the Royal Wedding.









And she is cruising all over the house now and have found the stairs. Luckily she hasn't started going up them yet.






And we have a bird nest in our window that is driving Lucie nuts! Which in turn is driving us nuts. She won't leave the bird alone when it is sitting in the nest. Afterall she is a bird dog!




I am excited to celebrate my first official Mother's Day this weekend. Looking forward to hanging out with Adlee and Jeremy Sunday. My Mom and Jeremy's Mom are coming over Friday night to have a slumber party with Adlee and I. We look forward to going to the German Restaurant for dinner and hanging out.
