Fun Filled Weekend!

This weekend, we went to Nacogdoches to visit Kasey!

Thursday night, they had the Taste of Nacogdoches.  We had this in Arlington and also in The Woodlands!  All of the restaurants in Nac had booths and handed out awesome food!

 On Friday morning, we slept in and went for breakfast at the donut shop!  Addison was in heaven, most of the time, we try to have good, healthy breakfasts.

 Then, we headed into Lufkin to go to the zoo!

 The Lufkin Zoo has tame peacocks that roam all over the whole zoo.  They are gorgeous!

Addison was in awe of the big feathers!

 At the end of the day, a few peacocks wanted Addison's snack!

 Friday night, Kasey and I went out with a few of her friends.  This weekend was the Nacogdoches Blueberry Festival.  We each had a yummy blueberry drink.

 Saturday morning was the Running of The Blueberries 5K!

 It was a semi-trail run and the weather was perfect!

 I did not PR, but I did pretty good for a trail run!

I decided to stay in Nac, one more night, for the John Michael Montgomery concert!

 We had a great time singing and dancing!!!

 Kasey's friend had the hook up and we got in VIP!

 The highlight of the evening was actually getting to MEET JMM!!

 How good do we look with our new BFF?

 I had him sign my new John Michael Montgomery Koozie!

So fun!

On Sunday, we lounged around for awhile, then met Mom, Dad and Addison half way so I could get home.

I love it and I am looking forward to the next time we get to go to Nac!  Thanks, Kasey!

Terrific Two!

HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ADDISON!! 

Last weekend, my baby Addison turned TWO!

This little girl is so much fun!   She is all girl - loves her barbies and babies more than anything!

 

Aunt Kasey came in town to celebrate, too!

When it came time for the cake, she wasn't afraid of the candle, but couldn't quite blow it out.

How cute is she?!?

Mom and dad got her a new sprinkler!  She loves it, but I think, maybe, Layla loves it more!

 This year, I wasn't going to do anything big for her birthday.  My friend, Kaci, offered for us to have a small party at her pool!  It was so perfect!

While none of the adults got in the pool, the kids (and I) had a blast!

I love these pictures!  I think Addison looks like such a big kid!

OMG.  This is my favorite picture!!

It was a wonderful celebration!  I am so grateful for friends and family for coming to love on sweet Baby A!

Mother's Day Blessings

This past weekend, we celebrated Mother's Day in one of my favorite places (aside from Maui)!

We went to New Braunfels on Friday night for the annual Geisler Mother's Day Tea!

One of our 'must dos' every time we are in town is breakfast at the Crosswalk Cafe.  Its our favorite coffee shop.  I remember taking Addison there when she didn't even have to leave her carseat carrier!  Now, she runs around like she owns the place!

She LOVES her Pap!  She loves that he gives her so much attention and takes her for walks whenever we go out to eat.  We are so blessed they are such a huge part of our lives.

Grandma's house is a small, wonderful place to be.  There is a large yard with birds and squirrels, lots of flowers and places to run around.  I guess Addison just needed a bit of a rest here.

The Mother's Day Tea was lovely.  All of the Geisler family was there.  While we were enjoying cherry limeade, chicken salad sandwiches and angel food cake, the guys were at the sports bar on the plaza!  Win, Win!

After the tea, we went to Landa Park to feed the ducks.  Turns out, the nutria were hungrier than the ducks were.  There were three of these nasty creatures eating our bread.  I have never seen one out of the water before.  They have little hands, but webbed feet, giant beaver teeth and a long rat tail.  Yuck!

After we fed the ducks, we rode the Landa Park train!  We were not planning to ride the train, but Addison won us over when she started to climb into an empty seat.  We couldn't say no.

On Sunday we had a diaper shower at church for new baby, Naomi.  She is so tiny and lovable!  I loved feeding her for a bit!  Addison was only a bit jealous, but just wanted to help do everything for the sweet baby.

Sunday afternoon, mom, dad, Addison and I went for an early dinner, then dessert at Market Street.  Addison never took a nap on Sunday.  Instead, she played in her crib for an hour, while I tried to will her to sleep because I so desperately wanted to take a nap!  Even still, she was in a happy mood all day!

At Market Street, they had pony rides for the kids!  Once again, she suckered us into letting her go for a ride!  This is the kind of stuff I always looked forward to when I thought about having kids.  I am to happy to let her do these fun things!  (Even though her Pap paid for it!  She has him wrapped around her fingers, too!)

We met up with Paul and Leigh Ann on Sunday evening for a margarita on the patio.  We love enjoying the beautiful weather with them!

It was a very fun, but very busy weekend!  I cannot believe we only have 13 days of school left and I get to enjoy nearly everyday with my sweet girl!
