The best mom in the world

That's me! Well to day Addisyn told me "I have made you a trophy because you're the best mom in the world, even if she has to get on to me sometimes I am the best mom ever." I wanted to cry she is so sweet. Then she hands me this "trophy" (a post it note with a face glued on it taped to a can of Ro-tel). I really did start to cry then because it was so precious. She said she couldn't find any wood in our house so she opted for something else. She is so funny - a can of Ro-tel. She was so proud of herself. I love her so much, especially for the cute things she does. The picture really doesn't do it any justice.

Our Little Ballerina

Addisyn has totally loved her dance class. Monday night they had a little showcase performance to help get them ready for their recital in Feb. She was so excited to be in a "show". If she can perform in front of people she's all for it. Thanks Grandma Sandy for making the cute tutu for her; she wears it all the time, and it worked great for her show. The pictures are of her with her teacher, Miss Kim, who's great and her good friend Sami.

Fun outside

So we have had great weather here lately and we've taken full advantage of it before it gets too cold. We have a ton of trees in our yard that shed leaves constantly. We had fun playing while working in the yard yesterday. I couldn't believe how big some of the leaves were off this one tree.

Hang on - I know this is long

Last week was super crazy and busy, but we had a blast. Jay had to speak to some MBA and Honor Program's classes at the University of Alabama. The kids and I went with him, and stayed with my sisters Lauren & Janna. This is a recap of our week.
Tuesday: My Aunt Dena is the Head of the Radiology dept. at the Univ. so we stopped by her office and visited with her as well. Addisyn loved going to college. Aunt Dena interrupted a couple of classes to introduce some students to us, and of course Addisyn asked them could she sing for them. Sometimes I wonder who's child this is b/c I'm so not like that, but then again her father is Jay. Everyone loved her and Bradley, and Aunt Dena let them get one too many things out of the vending machines. That night we met up with cousins and trick or treated on Sorority Row as a Princess and Prince Charming. Addisyn got her face painted and loved trick or treating.

Wednesday: We went to my sister Lauren's school and visited her class. She teaches kindergarten. Addisyn fit right in. She was not hesitant about anything. She jumped right into doing school stuff, and of course she sang, danced, recited nursery rhymes, counted, and read a story to the kids. They would all clap for her, and she would ask "What do you want me to do now?"

Thursday: We went to my parent's house and rested.
Friday: We went and visited my mom's class (she teaches 1st grade), and watched the Homecoming Parade for the high school. Once again Addisyn loved being at school. She told me "Mom this is where you should bring me all the time. It's the greatest place on earth." We'll see if she feels that way in a few years. That night we took the kids trick or treating in my parent's neighborhood. I dressed Bradley up as a pirate this time b/c he hated his prince costume. They were so cute. I laughed all night at Bradley with the beard and mustache. After a couple of houses Addisyn & Bradley were thru and headed home b/c Addisyn loved handing out the candy better than trick or treating herself.

Saturday: We headed back to T-town for Bama's homecoming game. Jay got skybox tickets from his boss so we took my fam with us. It was a great day.
