Water Puddles and Rainbows

We had a pretty good round of thunderstorms come through the other evening and of course, after the weather had cleared, we had to go play in the puddles...with SpongeBob sunglasses on of course.

It was still pretty windy, but Ady didn't seem to mind. There is a pretty big puddle that always forms at the corner of our street in front of Brady's house. It was perfect for jumping and splashing and of course getting soaking wet!!

Once the sun came out, there was a awesome rainbow right outside the back door! It was huge, so much so that I could not get the entire rainbow in the picture, I had to take it in halves. After a few minutes there was a second rainbow that appeared just above the first one...you can see them both in this picture.


The other half of the rainbow, with the second one above it.

The arch of the rainbow...this is about as much as I could fit in one frame form my back door. It was still raining so I didn't go outside to try to get a better picture.

Adyson wasn't really sure about what this thing was. She just kept saying "pretty colors sky" (She is still lacking connecting words in her sentences). I tried to get her to say "rainbow" but she wasn't interested...

Playing with Brady

Adyson convinced Brady that the dog kennel was a fun place to play. Adyson plays in there all the time, but I think Brady has had enough...

Whoo Hoo!!! Giddy up Daddy!! Check out Drew on Brendan's lap...just hanging out watching the big kids be crazy!! I am pretty sure we were watching some of the American Idol auditions during this chaos...

Pucker up!! Ady was wild this day. I think she must have given Brady a million hugs and kisses. Brady was getting tired of it, and started running away. I don't blame him!! :)


Peeking over the back of the couch at me. These two are crazy when they get together!!

SpongeBob Sunglasses

Adyson is completely addicted to her SpongeBob sunglasses. I kid you not, she eats, drinks, sleeps, and plays with these glasses on. We do not leave the houe without them!!

Here is Adyson, she had fallen asleep on the couch, with her glasses on of course!

And in the bath.... Sunglasses have to be washed, too.
Nap time.

And again...

Fun in the Sun

Finally!! The weather is getting nice enough around here that we have been able to play outside!! Here are a few pictures taken during the month of March of Adyson, out and about. No day is complete without cruising at least one (if not both) of her John Deere tractors. She loves to go way too fast on this one, and often wrecks. She is getting so good at wrecking these days that she pretty much instantly gets up and says "Its okay, Mommy" and goes on about her business - except when she wreck it good. Then she still calls out for Mommy :)

The park is pretty much Ady's favorite place these days. As soon as she wakes up from her nap everyday it is the same story. "Mommmmmmmeeeeee" to tell me she is awake and wants me to come get her. "Miwlk" She always has to have her milk right after she wakes up. I change her diaper, and when she gets up she goes to the window and looks out. "Mommmeeeeee, play park" "park" "park" "peeeaaaaaasssseeeeee" And then we usually go to the park - weather permitting, of course.

She loves to look out the holes in the tunnel. She always says "Mommeeee Ady hide"


And of course, no day would be complete without a ride on the ol' Gator with SpongeBob. The first time we got the Gator out this year, she didn't know what to do. She just sat on it, but finally got it going. She wouldn't let any of her friends ride on it the first couple days, only SpongeBob and her Baby. She has since let others join in on the fun!

Happy Anniversary to me...and Quentin too, but he is on "vacation"

Well, it has been one hell of a day. Adyson has been battling her 2-year molars for about a month now, and the darn things still haven't come in!! So a couple nights ago when her fever spiked up I chalked it up to teething and gave her Motrin and she was fine...right up until the Motrin wore off. Last night was the worst one yet and she had a fever of 104 and the Motrin was not doing the trick. Finally after a dose of Motrin and Tylenol (two hours later) it came down to around 100. We went back to sleep. She woke up fussing again and it was right back up to 104. I gave up and we went to the ER. Apparently it was a bad day for the wee ones because there were three other little guys already there. The doc came in and took a look at her and decided she needed every test in the book. They tested her for influenza A & B, strep, RSV, did a blood culture, and a chest x-ray. Everything came back negative except the chest x-ray showed the beginnings of what could be bronchitis or pneumonia. She also has an ear infection in her right ear (which I had already concluded from her stumbling around this morning). She is feeling fine and is on Amoxicillin. I am also giving her Motrin and Tylenol around the clock to keep her fever down.

So that is how we spent the beginning of the day...

Once we got home, Ady was still cranky, the medicine hadn't kicked in yet, and she refused to eat or drink anything. I finally got her to drink some juice ad she overdid it, burped, and up came all the juice she had just sucked down... Ugh!! So here I am cleaning red puke from the carpet and I hear Shasta heaving in her kennel. I rush over to her to coax her outside and obviously to late she pukes up a mouthful of grass and slimy crap. Dammit dog, can't you see I am already cleaning up puke!!

Once all the puke was cleaned up all is well in the Lease house. Except this is definitely the most eventful anniversary I have ever had. Unfortunately, (for me anyway, luckily for him I suppose hehe) Quentin is still out in Virgina for class and missed ALL the fun. When I called him with the puke story he PROMISED he would take me out to dinner when he got home. I am totally choosing Olive Garden!

Sorry for the lack of pictures, at this point I am too darn lazy to go get my camera from upstairs and load new pics on the computer.

Happy 6 year Anniversary Q! Can't wait until you get home!!
