Thursday night was Trick or Treating in Auburn. I guess since the Ole Miss game is here this Saturday the city made it Thursday night to avoid all of the football traffic. We decided to go to our church Halloween festival. Addison was a ladybug this year. Isn't it cute? For a while she didn't like it. Candy is always a good bribe :) HaHa!! I had to call the headband a bow. She loves wearing bows but hates wearing headbands. She had such a fun time at the carnival.

Getting ready to go

Walking to the Carnival

Finding our other little ladybug friend, Molly Cate, and her dad, Jonathan.

Playing all of the fun games. She did well with them. Addison got confused at the end of the games though. She didn't realize they were over. After she got her candy she would try to play the games with the candy. She did this at every station. It was so cute.

Getting a puppy balloon animal. This lasted for about 1 minute. She bit on it and it was gone.

Let's just say this Halloween thing wore her out. We got home and looked over and saw her laying on the steps with a sucker in her mouth. She did have a blast though and we will definately be back next year.

Hope everyone has a Happy Halloween!!!

Some recent pics

We went to Birmingham this past weekend to visit with family and friends. On Friday night, was the Corner High School football game. This is where Kevin went to high school and where his dad has been the band director for over 30 years. We went to see it. Haven't been in a long time. The first time I ever went home with Kevin to meet his family he took me to the high school football game. This was 9 years ago. How time flies!! It was definately nothing like my high school that I was used to going to. See I am from the Dallas, TX area where everything is a lot bigger and my high school, Duncanville High School was huge. Corner High School is definately a lot smaller version, but a great high school. It was definately not what I expected.

We let Addison walk into the bandroom and surprise Grandaddy when he was warming the band up. Everyone got to see her.

Our trip to the Pumpkin Patch

We went to the pumpkin patch on Saturday morning and met up with friends, Cris and Anna. It was fun, but cold.

Saturday night we went to Tyler and Heather's house to watch the Alabama and Auburn football games. Alabama pulled out the win, but Auburn, not so good.

Sunday we went to church and then for lunch all of the Coggin family came over to eat. There was about 30 people there. It was fun seeing everyone.

This girl has developed a love for shoes. She thinks she has to have shoes on at all times and everyone in the room needs to have shoes on. She loves to try on shoes and try to walk in them. It is pretty cute.

GUESS WHAT??

Addison is going to be a big sister! I am due May 6th. Addison and the baby should be right at 2 years apart. This past 6 weeks have been rough for us. I, unfortunately, get horrible nausea/vomiting associated with pregnancy. There was a time that I couldn't get off the couch without getting sick. I lost 10 pounds but have managed to gain it back once I was able to start eating again. I am feeling much better now. Should be out of first trimester on Thursday. I am able to cook, clean, and have a normal life again. I am so thankful because it truly was miserable. We are slowly getting things back to normal. I went to the doctor yesterday and everything is looking good. I gained 8 of the 10 lbs back. I had to take my little sidekick with me. She did well and sat nicely at the doctor. We had to go get a Coke Icee afterwards because she did so good. Addison loves those things and so do I.
When we were leaving the doctor, I put her in the carseat. I always let her hold my keys and then she hands them to me when I get in the car. It makes her feel important. Well, yesterday she decided to hit the button. Unfortunately she hit the lock button. So here I was outside my car with Addison and my purse, cell phone, and keys all inside the car. I didn't know what to do. I went to her window and tried to get her to press the unlock button. She was just laughing. She thought I was making faces at her outside the window. I just knew she would try to hand me the keys and accidently drop them. Thankfully her finger was on the unlock button and I told her to press the button. She hit it and the doors unlocked. Answered prayer. I don't know what I would of done. Lesson learned: never give your child the keys if you don't have another set in your pocket. I am going to have to get her some fake keys that she can hold.
