My Dad got married

So two weekends ago, my Dad got married. It was at the beach, so I was very excited about that. Addison L.O.V.E.D. it!

 

Addison sleeping in the car

We were the first to arrive at the beach along with Brad and Paula. We decided to go for a "walk" on the beach.

Addison went straight for the ocean (we suspected she would do this so we put a swimming suit on under her outfit) It was SO cold, but Addison wanted more. She was shivering, and her lips were turning blue, and she was saying, "No, no I want to go back swimmin'!"

 

 

 

Pretty soon, I started to get scared that Addison would get sick, so we went to swim in the indoor pool. 

After about 10 minutes, Addison announced that she had pee-peed in the hot tub ... brad got grossed out and decided he was done with swimming. Haha ... Oh the joys of parent-hood. We told brad that he should just be happy it wasn't poo-poo.

Addison was pretty tired .. even the next morning. This is Addison's face when she watches t.v. and the very reason I have to keep it to a minimum. She totally zones out. 

Pictures of the wedding coming soon...

Until next time...

Pumpkin muffins with Muffin

Addison and I got up one morning a few days ago and decided to make pumpkin muffins. I have had canned pumpkin in my pantry since the first day they put it on the shelves. Pumpkins are my favorite thing about the fall season. I love decorating with them, the color, but most of all I love cooking with them.

.. so Addison and I went to work mixing the together the ingredients

... Then we put the batter in to the paper cups, then to the oven for about 15 minutes

... and TA-DA! They were done... Addison was very excited.



... She didn't like the cream cheese icing too much, but she definitely loved the cake part.



We had a ton of fun... but Addison was tired of me taking pictures of her :)

*Explanation of the title of this post: Our family used to call Addison "muffin" when she was itty-bitty. My mom even got her a baby doll named muffin for her birthday. That little term of endearment has since dwindled away... Now, if I try to call her anything other than Addison (sweetie, pumpkin, sugar), she feels that she must correct me and remind me of the name I came up with. "No Mommy, it's Addison Taylor Dortch!" *

Until next time ...

A few weeks ago, Uriah was so sweet and he bought me a coupon at groupons.com to order a picture book through Shutterfly. I love it! Enjoy!

My little one is down for a nap so I thought I would take a minutes and update the blog...

I had test #3 in OB today. Our final is on Friday and that means that my OB rotation will be over :( I am so sad. I have never enjoyed a semester as much as this one. I know for sure this is what I want to do with my life - That is a good feeling. :) I have enjoyed learning about other domains of nursing such as cardiac care, and peds... but OB has surpassed them all. If I get to be picky, I would love to be a L&D nurse. *Sigh* ... we will see...

Addison just woke up and is asking for a snack.

Until next time...
