Bitty Ballerina

Last November (yes, I am way behind), Addy started taking dance. We weren't sure how she would react, but as it turns out, she LOVES it. She had her first recital in June, and she did such a great job!!

By the way, I think "Bitty Ballerinas" just might be the cutest little things I have ever seen!

M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E, Take 2

Guess where we've been! Almost exactly one year ago, Craig and I took Addy to Disney World. Well... this past week, my friend, Cher, and I took Addy on her second trip to Disney. We spent Monday night at Downtown Disney, Tuesday at the Magic Kingdom (in the rain) and Wednesday at Disney Hollywood Studios. It was a quick trip, but as you can see in the pictures, our trip was packed with fun, fun and more fun! Addy had an absolute blast, and once again, she was such a trooper! She hung in there until the end of the fireworks show on Tuesday. Aside from getting to stay in a hotel, I think the highlight of her trip was meeting Mickey and Minnie. She kept giving Mickey kisses on the nose. We actually saw him twice -- once on Tuesday and once on Wednesday. I think she might be in love...Cher (aka Aunt "Coco") sporting her stylish mouse ears...Addy sporting her stylish mickey shoes...Addy meets Pinocchio for the first time.She couldn't wait to get her hands on one of these Mickey balloons.Fun on the carouselGetting ready to take off with DumboRiding her first roller coaster.

Mommy and her little mouse. Yes, it was raining, and yes, we were wet!

A little rain never stops these 2 mousketeers! (Don't you just love my cocker spaniel hair)?

Taking her shot at the targets on the 4-D Toy Story Ride. SO MUCH FUN!

Dancing at Playhouse Disney Show

It was a short trip, but it was definitely "magical"!

Cutest Pumpkin in the Patch!

I know I have a ton of catching up to do (like a whole year's worth), but I think I will save that for another day and just start with today!

Fall... it's my favorite time of year! And if you ask me, nothing says Fall like a trip (or two) to the pumpkin patch!

We made a quick trip to a local church pumpkin patch last weekend, and I happen to think that Addy and Lauren were the cutest pumpkins in the patch!

Addy had a great time picking out her first pumpkin of the season.

She picked up a few pumpkins before deciding on a small "just her size" pumpkin.

We had such a great time picking out pumpkins last weekend that we decided to make a trip to another local pumpkin patch today. The pumpkin patch we visited today offered more than just pumpkins. There were miniature horses that the children could ride, goats, bunny rabbits, pot bellied pigs and dogs. Addy was less than impressed by the animals. In fact, she was terrified of everything except for the bunny rabbits.

Lucky for her, there were other things to distract her like a little maze, plenty of pumpkins, a hayride and a delicious lunch with her friends.

Although it felt more like a Summer day than a Fall day, we sure did enjoy our fun-filled day of Fall activities.

Could it Be?

OH MY GOODNESS! Could it be? A new blog post? Stranger things have happened...Believe it or not, we are still here. We are just having so much fun that we don't even take time to stop and blog these days. Addy is full speed ahead...

She went to a birthday party this weekend at a local "toddler gym", and she had an absolute blast.

If you ask Addy, she'll tell you that she had a great "party day" and that she loved the party favors. Check out her new accessories. You know, this little girl has always been all about the accessories!

P.S. Can you say CHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESE?
