Down on the field!

Thanks to one of my coworkers we saw at the September 11 Brave's game, Addie and I were able to take a stroll around the Braves field before the game started! With the guarantee of a long night ahead of us I purposely got to the game about an hour and a half early with high hopes that Addie would fall asleep in the car on the way there....and we could sit in the parking lot for a bit while she took a nap. I knew there would be tons of people there because of the tailgaters so it was not like I would be in an empty parking lot....well of course the second we pulled into the parking lot Addie woke up. So..she had about a 10 minute nap...that's enough right???!! I saw one of my coworkers in the parking lot who said they were going to be able to "parade" around the field. He explained why they were going to allow us to do it but honestly I tuned out the reason "why" when I heard him say "you get to parade around the field" and "Do you want to come with us?". I immediately thought that would be fun and knew that Addie would love it!

Addie is thinking "I wish my grass was this green."

This is as close as we got to the players. Brian McCann was one of them.

Her cheeks are already rosy and the game hasn't even started yet!

Thank goodness uncle Rod bought Addie a tomahawk foam finger to wave at everyone at the game...and wave at her momma the whole ride home! Ha!

Besides the weather being extremely hot...it was a fun day! I did realize that even though we went to the game with my mom, dad, sister and Rod..I seem to have focused my pictures on the field. They were there though..I promise!

One last Beach trip......

Well I kind of took September off from the blogging world...but for memory sake...I am going to go ahead and blog about it....So..here are a few belated September posts... Warning..picture overload! We took one last beach trip for this year and the weather was wonderful!

Addie had a wonderful time chasing her shadow on the beach and of course...spinning around in circles and making herself dizzy!

I just love her big smiles!

Addie had to check out every picture we took!

We headed down to the boardwalk for some ice cream and pics! Addie looks so grownup!

Mmmm....Superman Ice Cream! I have no idea what flavors "Superman" ice cream actually are but Addie loved it!

Addie's babydoll made the rounds this trip. "Baby" went to the grocery store, she went to the pool and of course the boardwalk!


Surprise...here is the baby doll again!

Addie...is that a baby doll you are holding? Wow...can you put that thing down!

Wild Dunes has a huge Adirondack chair...as you can see! The pictures don't really capture its size but it is huge and right on the beach!

This picture cracks me up...Of course I have never seen goggles in Vogue for a fashion item but I think she sports them pretty well! I think she looks adorable!

Once again...the baby went in the ocean! Take a look at the baby's legs..ha! Is that normal???

I just love this picture. Her profile is so pretty..of course I am her mother so of course I think she is a beautiful little girl! It amazes me how at three years old most of her "baby" look is gone. Every once in a while I get a glimpse of her chubby little cheeks. It makes me sad to realize how fast she is growing up. I know that is what all parent's say, "they grow up so fast", but I never realized how true a statement it was until I noticed Addie growing up so fast. I think it was also my naivety as well because I had no idea a three year old could do SOO much. I mean when Addie was two years old we could have a conversation with each other. Now that she is three....we can not only have a conversation but she can argue her point too and quite well! Ha! and her memory....she reminds me all the time "Mom..did you get your keys....your phone".

Once again...Addie and her baby!

Just hanging out on the porch letting her hair dry after a bath! Ah..to be 3 and free!

Addie gets this comatose state from her momma! Whenever anyone turns on a TV you can forget about having a conversation with me. Addie is the same way..as you can see from this picture. She is thoroughly into her Elmo movie.

Mom and Dad brought a wonderful fruit bouquet that someone gave them! Addie loved it. Not that she won't eat fruit normally....but it is much more fun when the fruit is in the shape of a flower and in a flower pot!

Soo sad to leave the beach but there will be plenty more trips next year! We hope!
