Weekend Update {Picture Overload}

FRIDAY

We arrived in Branson in time for dinner so we just went to Pizza Hut for a quick meal so we could get the girls down. The night was full of games, laughs and air quotes.

We kept having issues of people talking over people so Ciara came up with this nice idea so we would know who had the floor.

Everything was put in "air quotes" all night.

SATURDAY

We all got up for breakfast and then headed to the outlet mall.

This picture cracks me up.  Hadley went over and started talking to the mannequin then grabbed her hand and told me to take a picture.  

She never wants to get her picture taken anymore.

Lunch at Panera, yum!

The boys all rode what Hadley calls, "Scary."

SUNDAY

We all packed up and went to breakfast at Cracker Barrel.

While waiting for our table at Cracker Barrel Hadley found this electronic fish and was hooked.

After breakfast we hit the road.

Road trip story:

On the way home (about 30 minutes down the road) Hadley started complaining about her bottom hurting.  We thought it may be diaper rash since she still wears one at night and decided we would pull over and check and put something on it.
When we pulled over everything looked fine but we thought we'd put a diaper on for the rest of the trip to make less stops.  After putting the diaper on she starts screaming bloody murder and really saying it hurts.  I automatically start listing in my head of everything it could be.  At first I was thinking possible bladder/kidney infection then she points to where it hurts and its around her appendix area.  OMG!!
Andrew tells me to just hang on to her (I know, I know...but she was having such a hard time getting comfortable in ANY position) and he took off to the nearest hospital, which was 13 miles away.  At this point I'm about in tears.
All of the sudden I feel something warm in my lap, so I figured she had gone to the bathroom. (despite all the times we asked her if she needed to go.) Then she looks up at me and says, "Its all better mommy!"
I was so thankful that it was just her having to pee so bad, but when we pulled over again to put her back in her carseat I look down to see that her diaper wasn't on very well. It was ALL in my seat and all over me, awesome!
Lesson learned...lesson learned.

These were some goodies I had waiting for me when I got home.

If you ever want professional quality pictures for cheap try out Unit Prints, I love our family picture.

 I also love this new Christmas outfit I got Hadley off Smockadot on facebook.

 Oh and my Christmas cards were waiting for me too! Best welcome home EVER!

Thanks for checkin' in!! 

Weekend Update!

FRIDAY

We headed to Searcy for the weekend. 

The kiddos were eager.

When we got in town we met CeCe and Pajee and they picked up Jakers and Hadley.  Then we had dinner with our friends Tim and Melissa.

We are so excited for them they are expecting their first May 9, 2012.  (That's just 2 days after Hadley birthday!!)  I got a picture of Melissa and I for two reasons: 1- I haven't seen her let alone had a picture with her in a long time and 2- I have a picture when we were celebrating her birthday and I was preggo, now we were a couple days from my birthday and she's preggo!  

Celebrating my birthday in 2011.

Celebrating Melissa's birthday in 2009.

 SATURDAY

That morning I had a coffee date with a dear friend of mine, Heather.  We got caught up and enjoyed The Great Pumpkin Latte from Midnight Oil.

Oh and she got me the most ADORABLE apron from Anthropologie, which I will show at a later date. I LOVE IT!!

That afternoon J.O. and Tamra dropped off their kiddos as they were going to the Razorback game in Fayetteville.  Much fun was had.

*Piano Time*

That night Andrew and I had a date, which was fantastic.  I haven't laughed that hard in a while.  I just love that guy!  =)
Don't worry we also had a constant feed from our phones of the Arkansas game.
WOO PIG SOOIE!!!

SUNDAY

Cece and I stayed home with the kiddos while Pajee and Andrew went to church because they were all kind of snotty.

Oh, the joys of bubble wrap.

After church we had lunch with everyone then stopped by to see Grandaddy Bob and Carol and then hit the road.  Unfortunately we didn't leave till after 6 so it was after 10 when we got home, boo!

MONDAY

Well, Monday was officially my birthday but I spent most all my day at home trying to get Hadley better.  She was still snotty and I wanted to make sure she was going to be able to go to MDO today.  We took our vitamins, drank OJ, sniffed saline, had soup for lunch and managed not to get a fever, HOORAY!  

We had planned to have some friends over to celebrate but opted to postpone until we were 100%.

As some of you may have read on facebook part of my birthday present from Andrew was to decorate for Christmas early, I was pumped. When Andrew got home we packed up all the fall decor and unloaded some boxes from the garage full of Christmas stuff!

Hadley also got a new Christmas outfit and my girlfriend that made it wanted a picture of her in it to go on her website.  She was being a nut.

Finally I got a couple good ones to send her.

 

My loves!

Okay... so this is all my loves!

Andrew and I had a tradition of eating pizza and watching Christmas Vacation as we set up the tree, but its not really appropriate for a 2 year old.  So this year we started a new tradition of eating pizza and watching Mickey's Once & Twice Upon a Christmas as we set up the tree.

I'm also adding a Christmas tree it's going to go in Hadley's playroom! Can't wait for its reveal!

Phase 1 of Christmas decor is finished.
