Spring Break!

This year for Spring Break I decided to take Addie to do a few activities and get out of town just like all the big kids. We started the week at my doctor's appt. in Hot Springs. It went well and they were even able to find a heartbeat so that was exciting for me! I was at that point 13 or 14 weeks. After the appt. my mom came up and we took Addie to Garvin Gardens to see all the tulips. It was about her nap time so I didn't know what to expect, but I guess I should have! She loved all the tulips but she was not in the mood to stand still for any photos like mom was hoping. We had a great time, Addie Blaire really loves flowers, she loves to go on walks to pick them and we have even planted several this year. She was just running all over the place from flower to flower looking at all the beautiful colors they had on display. If you have never been I urge you to go sometime it is so beautiful they have every color tulip and flower out there. I wish I had just taken more photos of all the flowers rather than trying to chase down a two yr. old for a picture she didn't want any part of!

I don't think she knew I was taking this one, she was staring at the fish pond at the time. This was her Easter dress this year.

I just love tulip trees, I wish I had one at my house. She loved this part because we had to follow a trail through the forest and as I have mentioned earlier she loves Dora so we made it a game to find the right path, which really got her excited!

The tulips were at the top of the hill and this was the expression I caught of her the minute her eyes saw what was ahead, priceless.

I took so many pictures of her in these flowers that I just had to pick a few. By the way, in case anyone from Garvin Gardens is reading we did not pick this flower it was laying on the ground, I promise!!

This is more like the kind of pictures that I usually get when she sees that I am watching her. Just like her dad what can I say.

Don't forget to stop and smell the tulips!

I enjoyed our afternoon so much, I just love the chances we get to have some fun girl time.

The next day we met a friend of mine, Laci and her precious little boy, Mason at Museum of Discovery in Little Rock. We had a great time catching up and the kids had a blast at the museum. It was my first time there and they have so much for the young ones to play on and it is separate from the big kids area so it was just perfect for these two! Afterwards we went to Scallions for a yummy lunch!

She is quite the performer, I swear the child sings every chance she gets. It is actually quite amazing all the songs she knows for a kid her age. She really liked this stage because it had a television screen set up in front of it so the kids can watch themselves. She really turned on the performance once she realized that.!

How cute is this little guy!!!! I just love the curls, he looks just like his daddy with blond hair!


The next day Brandee and I took Addie and Cousin Mason to the zoo. The kids had a great time, although it may not seem like it in this picture. I think Brandee and I had threatened them and bribed them with everything we had to stand there and let us take there picture. I guess they showed us!

Addie loves her cousin Mason, so I was really glad we got to spend some time we he and Aunt Brandee too, afterwards Aunt T came and met us at the Purple Cow, yummy!
