Addison's 4th Birthday

I can't believe our baby girl turned 4! Here are pictures from her actual birthday and her birthday (the day after). Although it rained for days and days, it held off on the day of her party, which is a good thing considering we just moved into our home the weekend before and having the party inside would have been a challenge. She was so excited about being 4 and had a wonderful birthday!

I love this picture!

After two rounds of all kids trying to break the pinata, Scott had to hit it and break it!

She got excited as she opened each card and present. 

Jekyll Island, GA DLA 2013

I attended the Distance Learning Administrators Conference in Jekyll Island, GA. My co-worker and I not only enjoyed the conference but we had a lot of fun and ate a lot of great seafood! We saw a nesting loggerhead turtle on our turtle walk and were able to watch her dig her nest, lay her eggs, cover the nest, and then head back to the water. It was amazing!

Dance Recital May 2013

Addison's first dance recital was this past Saturday. She took tap and ballet so she had a dance for both. The theme of the recital was "Come Rain or Shine" so for both of her classes they had a "cloud theme." Tamalyn did a fantastic job with the recital and I was amazed at how well the 3 and 4 year olds took direction.

Jocelyn enjoyed dancing to the music

Addi received flowers from us and all of her grandparents. She was so excited!

Mother's Day in Clemson

Scott and Addi took me to Clemson Saturday after dance so we could go to a Clemson baseball game on Sunday. We had a great time. We shopped and walked around Saturday and stayed at Pat's that night. Then we got up early on Sunday and walked around campus. The entire time Addi kept saying she was "so excited to go to Clemson!!!!" It was a great game against Georgia Southern. She ran on Bowman field and all over campus really. Then she said she wanted to go to school there, and she wanted to hug the tiger. She was really disappointed he didn't show at the game and was confused as to why he wasn't playing with the tiger baseball players. I guess she took it literally when we said we were going to see the tigers play. At one point during the game she broke out in the Clemson cheer and got a round of applause from everyone. She looked at us and said - everyone is looking at me :) Then we had a couple of great runs and she got even more excited that they heard her cheer. Once we got into the game she sat for a little while then said she was ready to run around and play :) What a great Mother's Day present!

I explained to Addi that this is where I took a lot of my classes.
