Happy Birthday, Daddy!

We had a fun weekend celebrating Aaron's 29th Birthday.

Here are Addison and I making 4 dozen cupcakes for the tailgate. We got to Tallahassee on Friday afternoon. Here we are getting ready to eat a "fancy" Qdoba dinner!

Yunmy chips and salsa.

Papa enjoying some cuddle time with Addison.

She was a sleepy girl... another day without a nap.

Singing Happy Birthday!

Addison and Isabella helped Aaron blow out his candles.

Addison helped Daddy open cards and gifts.

Addison doing the Seminole "chop".

Still "chopping".

Sharing her cupcake icing with Grammie.

On Saturday, we had to wake Addison up at 930 to go tailgating! She was a tired little girl. Right when she got out there, she asked for her juice. Here she is enjoying her juice at the tailgate.

Eating some grapes.

Wearing her new Seminole bracelet from Grammie and Papa.

Someone at the tailgate gave Addison a piece of chalk. She had fun drawing!

Then she shared her chalk with Christian.

He wanted to draw too.

After lunch, Grammie and Papa came to pick up Addison and take her back to Amy, Chris and Isabella's house. Aaron and I stayed to have fun with friends, then we went to the game.

Here are Aaron and Blair with "the most interesting man in the world"- the Dos Equis man from the commercials.

Aaron and I ready to head over to the stadium and enjoy the air conditioning... it was hot being outside from 10 until 3! We were ready for some AC, more food, drinks and fun!

Jen and I before heading over.

The fans were slow making it into the stadium- notice the students were the slowest- their section is pretty empty right before the game started.

Outside the box ready for the flyover.

Inside the box- after the weather delay. Sure was nice enjoying the indoor box when a storm was in the area. After the delay, most of the people we were with in the box went home. It was pretty empty besides us and a few others!

the girls having a snack during the game- Dad sent this picture to us on our phone.

At the end of the game.

On our way home- Addison eating a delicious powdered donut and pears.

Family, Football and Friends in Tally!

We had a great weekend in Tallahassee... spending time with family, visiting with friends and of course... GREAT football!

This is a picture of Addison from during the week, watering one of Grammie and Papa's new trees. We went to the Downtown Getdown on Friday evening when we got to Tallahassee. Downtown Getdown is a huge party in the streets- I think they estimate 6,000+ people attend. We had fun from about 630 until 1000, dancing, eating, playing in the sand, and running into lots of friends from our days in Tallahassee. The theme was "beach bash" so they had a whole bunch of sand dumped in for the kids to play in. Who would've ever thought that Isabella and Addison would be occupied for HOURS playing in sand?! You'd think Addison had never been to the beach before! It was so fun watching the girls play with each other and the other kids!
You can see from this picture, when they started, it was daylight...

Both girls had to "work together" to make sure their big blue shovel stayed with them. Other kids kept trying to take it away! I think Addison and Isabella are creating a plan in this picture.

Still playing... it's DARK now!

Time for a break- sharing a corndog with Mommy. A sign of Addison having lots of fun is when you have to convince her to take a break and eat!

Back to the sand! A bunch of kids got together and decided to build a huge sand pile!

Then they all jumped on it. This was after the inital jump... Addison was in the middle of a bunch of BIG kids jumping. I had to go get her out- they were about to trample her. When they were done, we let her join back in for some jumping of her own.

Daddy got some chocolate ice cream and Addison shared.

Aunt Amy and Uncle Chris had a balloon flower made for Addison!

Tired girl... all danced out. Enjoying her lollipop on the walk to the car.

Isabella got some ice cream, too.

Saturday morning, watching Daddy get all the tailgating gear out of the shed.

Taking a morning bath before going tailgating! It's always amazing how similar Addison and Isabella are... except for their skin tone, eye color and hair color :-) Too funny!

Continuing Addison's junk food diet... Day 2: donut at the tailgate. No she didn't drink any "Fat Tire" beer that you see pictured behind her :-)

Playing catch with Daddy. I wasn't the greatest at taking pictures at the tailgate... I only took 3!

Ready for lunch. Addison had such a great time and had so much fun seeing lots of friends.

Back at Isabella's house playing dress up.

Two girly girls!

Aunt Amy finally convinced Addison to put a skirt on. She was happy with her shirt and high heels!

Finally eating something healthy! Eating grapes... watching the Seminoles!

Papa and his girls...

Grammie and Papa surprised both girls with their very own fall containers FILLED with M&Ms!

Can you see the excitement on Addison's face??

Eating a late dinner after Aaron and Chris got home.

Cupcakes for dessert!! Diet on Monday! Then it all starts again on Friday.

Good morning girls!
