Non Stop

So we are officialy the family who is NON STOP. It seems like we are always going going going. We have made it to Mississippi 3 times now in the last month! WHOOOO It was a blast seeing family so much and welcoming the newest addition to the family. Lynlee and Addison have so much fun together. Here are a few pictures just to prove it. :)

My sister-in-law just had her little boy Alden. We were so excited to see him and welcome him to the family. Lynlee and Addison love him and do so well with helping out. It makes me feel good to see how well Lynlee acts around him and how caring she is for him knowing she will have a little brother in about 3 months. :) Here are some pictures of Alden David Hadaway.

I had to compare his size so everyone could see how tiny he is. He is the smallest little thing I've ever seen. I love him so much and can't wait for him and Maddox to grow up together.

Yes, Maddox is what were our naming our little boy. I havn't really announced it but I guess now I have. We had the hardest time picking out his middle name but I think we are set on Maddox David Armacost. I love it and can't wait to start putting together his room. We have started to move the crib in his rooms and get out the baby items from Lynlee and go through what we have and what we dont have but I feel we have a long way to go. We have moved Lynlee from her crib to a big bed now and OMG she loves it. We picked out a new bed set for her and she is so excited to be a big girl. We are now working on potty training. She is so ready and does really well at school. We have been so busy and on the go so much so that has not helped her out any.

Well we have setteled back down now and Drew is now off working for a few days out of town. This is always hard on Lynlee because she doesn't know where daddy has gone. We do get to talk to him alot on the phone and they both enjoy that but its not the same as you can imagine.

I know I've rambled on and on about so many different topics in this blog but with a busy family like mine its hard not to talk about everything with bloging only once a week. I will get better at this I promise :)

Road Trip to Mississippi

My niece just had her 2nd Birthday and we made a trip to Mississippi for it. We had a blast as Lynlee and Addison always have so much fun together. We drove over on Saturday because Drew had to work and got there just in time for the party. There was a great turn out and the kids had a blast....they could play outside together forever if we let them.

Ashley (my sister-in-law did a great job planning the party as she is a very pregnant women. They did the ladybug theme which was so cute and they cup cakes turned out great and so very cute.

Well our trip wasn't very long but we will be heading over this weekend to visit again. I wish and wish and wish that we lived closer to the. The girls are like best friends and play so well together. I always nice to have family close to you. I know to many people that have family far away, 2 1/2 hrs isn't far at all but it is when you have the relationship I have with my sister-in-law. We get along so well and could talk on the phone for hours about pretty much anything. Well because I'm a picture freak here are a few more pictures from this past weekend.

Well Ashley just had her baby boy Alden so it looks like we will get to visit them again this weekend which you know I'm very excited about. :) He's a handsome little thing and I know Lynlee will be in awwww about him since she will be having a little brother in a few months. I will post pictures and share with you all as soon as we get back. Enjoy the rest of your week everyone! XOXO

The Start of 2011

WOW has 2011 brough us many adventures already. Drew and I are very blessed and happy to say that we are having a little boy June 22, 2011. We were very excited to find out that we will now have 1 girl and 1 boy for our growing family. Lynlee herself is getting excited and I know will be an AWESOME big sister. Drew thinks that she will soon turn to be a daddy's little girl after our new addition arrivies. She has grown to know what she wants and when she wants but we have to keep in mind that she is a 2 year old...they think they are the boss of the whole wide world. HAHA Some days she is all about her mommy and some days she is all about her daddy.

Well our next adventure was our car wreak that Drew and I were in Jan 1st. We were all at my parents hunting camp enjoying the weekend and had traveled to the store near by and on the way back we hydroplaned and went into a ditch. We were driving my Tahoe and it has been now been 26 days and it's still in the shop. We thought at one point because of the bend frame we were going to have to go through the process of the car being totaled but thanks goodness its not...just taking a REALLY long time to fix. Lynlee wasn't with us...THANK GOODNESS! She was napping at the hunting camp with my mom while we ran to the store. Other than some bumps and scrapes and scaring us half to death we are both ok.

I finally have some pictures from Christmass this year...I know it takes me so long to do things! :) Working full time and having a little one leaves very little time to do extras. Like I always say though...I wouldn't trade any of it for the world.

Christmas 2010

Well it sure has been a long time since I last posted. Sorry for as my life is always going 90 to nothing but there is not much I can complain about. We had a wonderful Christmas with both sides of our family. This year we traveled to St. Petersburg to see Drews side of the family. It was a long but short trip. There was a total of 26 of us so we stayed super busy. We only see most of his family every other Christmas unless we have a big even such as a wedding or something like that so we always have to make the best out of our trip. Lynlee and her cousin Addison had a blast together and I mean a true blast. They are only 4 months apart so they got along great as they always to. Everything they did was "monkey see monkey do." it was so funny being around the two of them. Lynlee got some great stuff for Christmas.

Well now were all back to work and school and trying to get back to our regular schedules...which is very hard after being on vacay for a whole week.

LONG TIME

Yes once again I'm very sorry for it being so long since I last posted. We have been one busy family...and I mean busy. I feel like with work and family I never stop. Truly blessed with an active family to keep me going though and a full speed 2 year old that always has me going. She made this Turkey Hat at school and was so proud of it so I had to share.

I also took Lynlee to see Santa already...I know what alot of ya'll are thinking...already?!? Yes I did. I want to take her a few times to see him so she will get use to him and not be scared. She wouldn't sit on his lap by your self but she did sit on his lap with a friend of mines daughter Gracie.

She looks a little un-sure about it all but I'm determined to get her use to him before Christmas. I have a picture of her first Christmas with him but she wouldn't do it last Christmas so I don't want to miss this Christmas. Christmas will be here before we know it. I have started to shop so I don't have to do it all at once which I think will help my stress out a little bit. haha We are going to St. Pete for Christmas this year to be with Drew's family so we will be going, going, going all the time. I'm so excited to see his whole family though. Lynlee is now big enough to play with some of the cousins so that will be fun for her.

Well I'm getting all packed up were going to the camp tonight for the weekend which I'm SOOO looking forward to. All you can do there is relax and its always nice. Nothing to worry about but enjoying yourself. It will be cold but we should all have fun. After we get back were going to put up our Christmas Tree. I'm so excited to have our first Christmas in our new home this year. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.



Halloween

Well we had a GREAT Halloween with Lynlee this year!!! She dressed up as a Lady Bug and was so cute.

We too her to the Destin Commons Mall where they had alot of activities going on and all the kids went trick or treating from store to store. It was perfect for her. As we went from store to store she would hold her bag out and say, "Thank You." to everyone. My sister and her boyfriend came and met us up there which was nice. We ended our night with pizza at Red Brick Pizza and it was good.

Lynlee and Drew are golfing today while I work. :( Sad for me but fun for them. We are training at work right now so I had to help out today. Never mind helping but always hate losing that "time" with the family. Another positive note is that I got to talk to my little sis-AOII sister on Friday. She was a work teaching and took time out of her day. I always enjoy getting to talk with her since we don't see each other much.

Well now its time to starting walking every night so we can get in shape for Turkey Day!!! Yum I sure do love this. We always have turkey day on a different day every year depending on everyone schedules with my family and then we also have it with Drew's family too. His mom is such a good cook so I always enjoy Thanksgiving at her house. Lynlee and her cousin Addison are so close in age its ALWAYS fun when we get to see them which is every couple of months. We will be seeing them alot the next couple of months, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Addison's Birthday in Jan and then Ashley is due with her 2nd-which is a BOY the middle of Febuary! So we will be seeing them alot and I'm sooo excited!!!

Well that's all to my post today...short weekend for me so I don't have that much to talk about! Hope everyone has a great week!!!

Great Weekend

Well this past weekend was a very relaxing and much needed weekend. First off I took Lynlee to a festival with my sister Destinie. They had dancers performing and Lynlee LOVE every min of it. They had lots of fun rides and games so she had a blast. To top it all off Lynlee won a Dora doll.

She was more than excited to win this and Dora now goes everywhere we go and even sleeps in the car while were out doing things. She has made Dora a bed and she lets Dora use her pillow and blanket but ONLY when Lynlee is not using it. haha While we were there I found great little boutiques and got some cute bows and dresses for Lynlee. I know its Fall and about to be Winter but I just couldn't pass them up they were so cute. Plus I did pick ones out that you could put leggings with or a shirt under them. :)
Well on Sunday Drew was off work and WOW was that nice. He seems to always be working these days and its nice to see him for a whole day. I work alot too but I make sure to have my days off with my little one. We first ate brunch which was OH SO AMAZING and then we headed to the outlet mall to get some winter items. I was not so lucky and didnt get a thing but we did find Lynlee a really cute jacket and some other cute tops. Drew also got a few things but so glad to have a start on winter clothes. Down here in Destin winter is WEIRD and one day it will be freezing out of no where and then the next day it will be hot so you have to be preparred for it. After shopping we ended our morning with a visit to the park. Lynlee loves to be outside so this was so much fun for her. We even ran into one of her friends from school which is also a friend of mine from school as well. Lynlee and him are only a month a part so they are great friends. They had lots of fun and to say the least Lynlee was asleep before we left the parking lot. Well that was the FUN and relaxing weekend that was much needed. I hope everyone enjoys there week.
