Boxes, boxes, boxes!

Shew, am I tired of packing boxes!! This weekend is our last weekend before we move next week!! We close on Tuesday morning and will start moving that afternoon! We're so ready to be in our new home!! So, so excited!! And ready for the whole moving part to be over with!

Madilynn is officially everywhere and into everything! She is getting into Karma's water bowl, taking the rubber caps off the door stoppers and putting them in her mouth, climbing on everything and just wanting to stand all the time! I have been working with her so she'll learn to go from standing to sitting instead of standing to falling straight backwards! We have to put her in what we all call "Daddy's jail-time" (See pics below). Ade gets a kick out it when we put Madilynn in "jail-time."

Just a few cute pics from this week...

First attempt at jail-time. She figured out how to push the ottoman forward...

Added a few more pieces to jail-time...She's trying to figure out how to get out!

I know there is a way out of here...

Hmmm...I think I outsmarted my Daddy...

Oh yes...it's working!

Breaking out of jail!

Yay!!! I'm free! I broke out of Daddy's jail-time!!

That's all for now! Will update next week after the big MOVE!!!

Have a great weekend!

I wish...

Happy Tuesday! Adrienne is really into "wishing" for things these days...we told her not to tell anybody her wishes, or they won't come true! ;) She threw some money into a wishing well on Sunday afternoon when we were out running around and I asked her what she wished for. She said, "Mommy! I can't tell you or it won't come true!" haha. The next morning, she got up and ran in our room and said, "Mommy, I wished for a unicorn and a horse and I didn't tell anybody but it still didn't come true!" Just thought I'd share...:)

1 week from today, we will be closing on our new home!!!! Counting down the days!!

Have a good one!

On the Move!!!

Hi all!!! Well, we're back from Evansville! We had an awesome weekend!!! We got to spend lots of time in Nana and Pawpaw's new pool! It is SO nice!!! Adrienne and I had a date and got manis and pedis together :) Mama went out with her girlfriends on Friday night. The Alumni game was a success and so awesome to see everyone!! We had a baby shower for Baby Girl Groves, went to Miss Margo's 1st birthday party and finished off the weekend with a pool party at Sandy and Bill's that included a fun game of volleyball! SO fun! Thanks to everyone who always makes our visits so special and goes out of the way to make sure we are comfortable!! Love you!!

The reason this post is titled "On the Move" is because Madilynn is official totally MOBILE! And she is everywhere and into everything! She is crawling so fast. You can't even turn around without her disappearing! We have to put her in the pack-n-play when we need to leave the room (without her :) but she doesn't really like to be in there! She has places to go and people to see! :) She is starting to pull up on everything and then she LETS GO! And she has no idea how to get back down! This is her new awesome trick! Ah! She tried that in her bed the other day and fell straight back and bonked her eye! She's too cute though...just really keeping us on our toes these days!! Oh, a 3rd tooth has erupted right next to her bottom teeth! :)

So, it looks like it's a go! We are supposed to close on our current home and our new home on August 23...2 weeks from today, we'll be making the move to our new home!! We are so excited!! New home, new neighborhood! Woohoooo!!

I got our beach pictures from Redd Photography when we were home so I included a few below for you to see!! :) I love them and can't wait to frame them in our new home! :)

Adrienne the Horse

It's almost Friday! Yay! So, I'm pretty sure that Adrienne thinks she's a horse. The girl acts like a horse all day long..naying, galloping, building stables and making all the funny horse noises. We actually have to tell her to take a break from playing "horsie." She told us she doesn't want to do gymnastics anymore. She just wants to ride horses. So, I guess we will look into horse back riding lessons! We live in the right state for it! :) We surprised Ade with 2 horses at her birthday party in June! She was shocked and so elated! :) It was awesome. Just a few pictures from her birthday party since I never posted any in June....

Her birthday morning! Got a new big girl bike!

Her pretty princess cake that was about to fall apart!

So excited about her birthday surprise!

I'm four!!

The birthday girl!

Have a great weekend!! :)

Madilynn is 7 months old today!!

Happy Wednesday! I just can't believe our baby girl is 7 months today!! I remember so clearly when Nick and I were on our way to the hospital the morning she was to be delivered. I was SO nervous and Nick just kept telling me to relax...and before we know it, weeks and months will have passed by. I didn't believe it would happen so fast and  here we are 7 months later! We just love her to pieces! She is always such a joy to be around and has brought so much happiness into our lives!!! Her big sissy loves her so much and can hardly stand when she's napping because she just wants to play with her all the time! Happy 7 months M!!

Madi being so silly while I'm trying to get a pic of her!!

Sweet girl is 7 months old!!

Her new favorite thing is to pull her bow off her head and wear it as a necklace :)

See my 2 pretty toofers? :)

Welcome to our blog!!

Hi family and friends!! I've decided to start bloggin' to update you on our daily happenings! (I can't promise it will be daily! haha) I've been using totsites since we were preggo with Ade but they started charging more and more money because I needed more space! I just thought it was silly to pay for a website when there are so many that are free! So, here we are! The Delacoma Daily...catchy huh? LOL Nick is going to make so much fun of me!! :)

Lots has been happening in our world! We decided to put our house up for sale and we had prospective buyers almost immediately!! Nothing is final so I don't want to say too much but I will update you soon on the house situation!! But we are very very excited!!

Ade turned four on June 14 and we had a fabulous bday party for her at my Mom's house in IN. If you know Ade at all, you know she is absolutely obsessed with horses. Like, in she acts like a horse or acts like she's riding a horse pretty much all day long. So, we thought it was only fitting that we had horsies at her bday party!! She was so surprised and told Daddy when the horses arrived, "Oh, daddy, just what I always wanted!" haha. Uh-oh. Did she think she was going to get to take them home? Yes, she would have loved to but she was ok when they had to leave.

We took our first vacation as a family of four! We packed our car full and off we went to Destin, Florida. 12 hours...we didn't know what to expect! The morning we were supposed to leave, Ade woke up with a cold and boy did she feel bad. What timing, right?! Never fails! But, we decided to hit the road anyway, with tissues in hand! She was pretty miserable in the car on the way. We stopped after about 8 hours and after a rough night in the hotel (Ade had a fever), she woke up feeling a little better...no fever, nose had slowed down...so we hit the road again. Madilynn was, of course, her very happy self. I'm pretty sure we have the happiest baby on the block!!! That morning of driving was much better. Ade and Madi got some rest and we were almost there! Our condo was amazing! The pool was perfect for the kids and the place was so nice! Ade was totally back to normal by the next day and I'm pretty sure she turned part-mermaid by the time the trip was over! That girl loves the water! She's still a little weary of swimming by herself though when she can't touch. I let go of her once in the deep end and she swam just fine. Stayed above water and all! But she did NOT like that ONE bit! LOL So I promised her I wouldn't do that again! My Mom, Chuck, Nicole and Alex and some of their friends were down there too...so we had an awesome time hanging with them on the beach and at the pool. We didn't do too much ocean swimming as the seaweed was in full force! It was everywhere!! Madilynn loved the sand! She dove right in and got herself a big nice mouthful of sand!! :) The Redd family was down there as well so we got to hang out with them for a day and she took some amazing pics of us on the beach!! Thanks Dre!! We drove straight through on the way home...12 1/2 hours. It wasn't too bad until the very very end. Everyone wanted out! But we made it home safe and sound and had an awesome first family vacation as a family of four!! We love our girls SO much!!

Madilynn is growing like a weed!! She was 20 lbs, 27 3/4 in. at her 6 month check! Doc said she's as big as a 9 month old! She sprouted her first 2 teeth right before we left for vacation too! She started sitting up like a pro when we were there and we came back to her crawling!! She is making her way around! And she is a dollbaby!! Such a happy baby!!

Well, both girls just woke up so I better run! I'm excited to start bloggin' to keep you all updated on the Delacoma girls!! :)
