My Sister, Hillary's, Baby Shower she threw me in TN!!!

Here are some pictures from my shower my sister Hillary threw for me in TN. It was absolutely beautiful. The theme was the same as Addison's nursery, a garden theme with yellow, pink, purple, and green. She had candles in these colors on all of the tables with butterflies hanging for decorations. The cake was amazing too! Thanks Brandon for all of your hard work...my sisters boyfriend, does amazing cakes that are not only beautiful, but delicious!!! Everything was delicious and I couldn't believe how much stuff my litle girl, Addison, got! Thank you Hillary!!! It was amazing. You out did yourself girl and I can't believe you have never done this before! It was so much fun!

Holly

Here I am with my best friend from TN...since 5th grade! It was nice to hang out as much as we did and get caught up on all of the new happenings in our lives.

Visiting TN

Here are a few miscellaneous pictures while visiting family in TN. My cousin's little boy Jaxson, Great Aunt Barbara, Grandma Fay, cousins Forrrest and Randell and my Grandpa Randall. It was nice to see everyone!

24 weeks

Here I am at 24 weeks. It is not he best shot, but you can certainly tell I...WE...are getting bigger! Over half way there!

Our last day...GIRLS' LAZY DAY!

Here we are our last day. We decided to have a girls lazy day while Dave was at work and Asa was at school. We watched a movie in the living room, blew up the air mattress, and got all cozy...after getting the BEST chocolate milkshakes from Jack N the Box! Of course Jacob got to hang with us! I couldn't stop holding him! This was a lot of fun. Keltners thanks for having us. It was nice to see you all, where you guys live now, and to met your new addition...Jacob!

Asa and Jacob

Look at how tiny Jacob was and how big Asa is getting! I remember when Asa wasn't much bigger than this! Time sure does fly!

New Mommy...again

Can you believe just 9 days ago she gave birth!?!? Look at those dimples! Here he is smiling and hoping that I would quit flashing the light in his eyes! I couldn't help it...he is so adorable.

Just hanging out...

Here we are just hanging out. I love these pictures. Megan and Jacob look so cute together. She is such a good mom. Here is little Asa who is growing up sooo fast! I think Baby Jacob looks just like his big brother! And of course Cindy and I just being silly like old days. I had so much fun.

Here is Baby Jacob....

come let Aunt Kiki hold you!!! I couldn't hold back my tears when I saw our good friends Cindy, Dave, Asa, and Baby Jacob...nine days old! They are like family to us. Wonderful people and we miss living right next door to you! We have had so many good times together. Now Jacob and Addison can one day marry and the Keltners will have an Asa and Addison in there family again and we can move close together again. I can't wait to see you....not much longer!!!

April 26...Nevada here we come!!!

Wow, Megan and I had an early morning off to the airport in Norfolk, VA, but we were so excited to see our good friend Cindy and her new arrival- Baby Jacob nine days old. Of course you can see we had to make time to goof off in the airport. I was so excited to share this trip with Megan. We learned we have a lot more in common than we ever knew. She is such a great person! Oh, and thanks Megan for helping during those sickening landings! You have to love morning sickness /motion sickness!

April 25 continued...

this was the longest day ever! For my last day at work a few of us girls went to lunch at one of my favorite places, Ruby Tuesday's. After work a bunch of us got together for ONE LAST HOORAY at Greenies on the deck. It was nice sitting by the water with my peeps reminiscing. It was very emotional and exhausting...but so worth it!

Our house in VA Beach...

Well, here we are early morning of April 25, saying good-bye to our home. We put so much work into making this place a home. We were certainly proud of what we had accomplished with it. We wanted to do so much more, but you all know how it goes with the military...time for another PCS! So good-bye house! Time to move on to a new place! This was a ridiculously emotional and busy day for ole preggo me! So many new things to come....

Good friends...

here are some more of my good friends from work...Jamie and Christel...Kim and Megan couldn't make it. :( I miss our lunch dates and our girls out events! We had so much fun!

Jenny and I....aka J-Poo and C-Poo...

at my birthday lunch at Cheesecake Factory. Jenny has been such a good friend to me. I never thought I could find someone that had so many of the same quirks as I do! We began our friendship through work and I am so glad that I met her. I believe certain people come into our lives for a reason. She some how knows how to calm me when I need it the most. Thanks for being there Jenny! You are such a caring and thoughtful person! I enjoy every minute that we spend together. I miss you and I hope to see you soon!

TSD Shower cake....

Finally! I figured out how to get at least one picture in my blog! Here is my yummy cake!

Baby Shower

My friends from work threw me shower. Wow, they must've gotten that one together fast! I would have more pictures, but this is all I had on my camera. I couldn't figure out how to get the others from my email to blog. They even had my favorite cake with butterflies! It was too cute and delicious! Thanks you guys! My dear friend Jamie made the diaper cake and the scrapbook for me. Thanks Jamie! I know they took you a lot of time...especially the scrapbook! What a great idea for a gift!

My peeps!!!

Now that I am finally back to blogging, (sorry it took so long!), I have to start off where I left, and here it is with my TSD peeps! I worked with this group and can't you tell we got a lot of work done! I miss you guys! I couldn't have had a better group of people to work with. I made so many friends...a few didn't get to make it for the photo, but I do miss you all! We made work fun and that is how it should be. I hope they all are doing well and maybe even miss me a little too! Take care you guys!

Addison's New Outfit

I saw this adorable outfit at Target and could not resist! I thought Paul would really like it. I can't wait to see her wear it.

Diaper Cake & Scrapbook

What a beautiful diaper cake! My very good friend Jamie made this for me!!! She knew I wanted one badly. My coworkers threw me a going away cookout and surprised me with a shower as well at the last minute. I had no idea! Jamie spent a lot of time on this cake and it turned out absolutely gorgeous! Thank you Jamie. I really appreciate your thoughtfulness. You are a true friend!

Here are the darling shoes that were on top of the cake. Jamie even stuffed these super soft, super cute socks in them. I loved that idea! Now Baby Addison will have some super soft socks like her mommy thanks to Jamie. I can't wait to see her tiny feet in these adorable shoes. I loved the whole thing!

Jamie also made a BEAUTIFUL scrapbook! I know this took her a lot of time and effort to make this. And yes, it was all I could do was not to cry when I opened this up and saw what it was. For all of you who know me, know I LOVE handmade things like this. She even put Addison's name on the front page. Thank you so much Jamie! I do not have pictures of the rest of the party because I did not have my camera, that is why I only have these couple of pictures that I took myself at home. I will have to show you the beautiful cake they did for me. Jenny remembered my favorite cake is yellow cake with chocolate icing! The cake had beautiful pink and purple butterflies on top that I got to keep. The whole day was very nice. Thanks everyone! I will miss you all very much! It really is a bitter sweet good-bye.

Christins 27th Birthday!!! Plus 20 wks photo shots!

27 year's old! To celebrate my day, my loving husband made me this beautiful heart shaped cake! My favorite...yellow cake with chocolate icing! Isn't he the best?!










I had to include this picture of Paul dancing. He is so funny even after all of these years he still makes me laugh!

Okay, so here Addison and I are 20 weeks along the way...halfway there!!! I can't wait to hold her in my arms! Paul and I made this Bunny, Gracie, on my birthday for our little girl to give to her on her birthday. We put two hearts full of wishes plus a soothing lullaby song in her palm just for her. Hopefully she likes her!
