H: June 2010

I wanted to write a separate blog for Father's day. It was really hectic this year because Addy's party was the same weekend AND Jamey had to work, but we still want to give the best daddy ever, all of the praise that he deserves. Addison has the best daddy that she could ever ask for. He is her "best friend" and yes I quote because that is exactly what she says! She loves him more than ANYTHING!! He is so good with her and teaches her SO MUCH! I give him credit for teaching her pretty much everything that she knows. He works really hard at a place that is ever so undesirable, puts up with her mommy (:P) and works so hard around the house (in and out) every minute that he can.. not to mention still finds time to hit the gym.. workin on his fitness (and it pays off..he's a hottie!!) So, there we have it... I am one lucky girl! All in one man I have: A wonderful, patient, providing husband; a fantastic daddy for my precious daughter; and a hot & dreamy gardener/maintenance man... did I mention he can play the guitar????? Man.. Life is good!!! :)

I know we dont say thank you enough... so THANK YOU JAMEY- from the bottom of my heart...for everything that you do. Addison and I love you very, very much!

*** I must admit that I got a little teary eyed after uploading these pictures!***

Boy oh boy did she have a "birthday week!" The week started off with us taking a trip to Noccalula Falls. It was SO much fun and we hope to go back soon...it was only 30 minutes away, so it's a very doable day trip. Then Sunday night Addy started getting really sick. We went to the dr Monday and she had...strep throat, again!! I could not believe it, but I was SO thankful that we caught it so early. She was finally able to go to school on Wednesday, coincidentally the same day she started getting presents in the mail!! FUN FUN! Friday June 18th, Addison, Jamey and I celebrated 3 wondeful years together!! She has really had a great birthday!! We had a party for her yesterday and boy was it exciting. Mandy and Tina were so sweet and made the best cupcakes I have ever had for the cake and the general theme was a garden party! We were all decorating our hearts out and here it comes, the darkest clouds and the strongest wind. Everything that we just put out was blowing away! Down came the rain shortly after and so, trying not to panic, we made the decision to just bring everything inside and have the party! We didn't get to do everything we had planned but I think it ended up being great. All of the kids played so well together and were all so excited to see each other! Thank you to Mandy, Tina, Ms. Lou, Ashlee and especially my sweet husband for putting up with - can't make a decision, yet OCD, Abby during planning and execution.. it turned out perfectly! Thank you everyone involved for making this such a special time for Addison!! The weekend ended with another treat of Ashlee and granddaddy staying with us. It was nice being able to be with grandaddy on Father's day. It was a work weekend for Jamey, but we were able to spend a good bit of time with him too.
