Day 3

Today was a very special (and busy) day for Hadley. We started out this morning with a visit at the AISD Administration building. We got to see and visit with lots of people I used to work with. Hadley got lots more kisses and hugs and lovin' while we were there.

After that we met Mema, Poppa, and Aunt Jackie at the beauty shop where Mema was getting her hair fixed. This was probably the highlite of the week for me because I have been so excited for them to meet Hadley (They are his great grandparents.) . Mema and Poppa are so special to me and it meant a lot for them to finally see Hadley.

This afternoon we met April and Marcella at the Abilene Zoo and made a quick trip through the zoo. Hadley was terribly excited about the whole thing (as you can tell from the pictures)! After the zoo we visited for a while and watched Marcella and Hadley play.

It was hot...we were trying to keep cool with the bandana!

Marcella...places to go...animals to see!

Can you tell Hadley really enjoyed his first trip to the zoo!?!

Day 3 has been my favorite day so far...

Mandi & Hadley's Spring Break Tour 2009: Day 1

Today Hadley and Momma hit the road for our Spring Break Tour 2009. We got a little later start than we planned, and Hadley slept all the way, but we made it to Abilene and had a fun evening with Tim, Dina, Bailey, and Emma. Momma saw her good friend, April, who did her hair before we went out to eat at Zoochini's.

I tried to help Momma get things ready this morning...first we did laundry.

Then I helped make the bed. (I was gonna' help pack, but I got tired and needed a nap!)

Here I am with my Aunt Dina. (My baby boy cousin is in her tummy!)

I hung out with my Uncle Tim a lot tonight. He is fun (but has scratchy whiskers!)

My cousin, Emma is fun to play with and makes me smile!

My cousin, Bailey played with me and held me too.

Momma's friend, April fixed her hair pretty, and then we ate supper together.

And here's me and Momma at the end of the day. Day 1 was a fun day!

Cute

I found these pictures on our camera the other day and remembered I wanted to post them on here. This is my sweet friend April's little girl Marcella. She and Eric made fast friends...although I think there might have been some specific reason she was drawn to him! :-)

"Look at my new hat, momma!"

Here you go, Eric, you can have it back now.

Friday...

Nothing really exciting to write about today, so just some random stuff.

-We got our tax refund today...woo! hoo! (I was on the ball this year and filed super early!)
-I will be in Austin all next week for a TASBO (Texas Assoc. of School Business Officials) conference (sounds like fun, huh!)
-There is hardly anyone in our office this afternoon - for some reason most people decided to leave early today...why didn't I?
-Eric has been sick most of the week with "the crud"...boys are whiny and mopey when they don't feel good!
-I drink WAY too much diet coke...it's a bad addiction I have.

Okay - enough random thoughts. I will leave with a few (random) pictures today, just for fun.




My cute nieces - Emma, Bailey, & Isabel












Eric likes to tell people this is a picture of us...isn't that sweet of him.










My sweet friend April and her adorable Marcella (who will be 1 in April...wow!). I just had to post this one since I mentioned taxes and I just finished doing her tax return as well. (Nice trade - I do her taxes, she does my hair...I think I win there!)
