Addyson turns ONE!?!

We cannot believe that the time has already come and gone and Addy is now ONE!

Chris and I drove in on Wednesday, May 30th late in the night, so we had from Thurday until Sunday to have full days in Mississippi to spend with everyone.  On Thursday, we went to Tucker's office to visit with my mom, Kathy, Tucker and the rest of the crew there.  We got to pick Addy up from daycare early that day.  She was a little confused at first, but it only took her a minute to figure out who we were and that she was okay!  We took her back to Brook's office for her first cupcake (of many) for the weekend.  That night, we went to Elaine's and Angela's for supper.  Max got to go home with us also and he spent all of his time at Mawmaw and Pawpaw's (Elaine and Mitchell's).

On Friday, we helped Brook in the morning to start getting things ready for the birthday party.  Harley, Hayden and Hunter come over and spent the day there, too.  Chris and I later went back to Tucker's office to go buy him a new iPhone.  After some hard work, we finally got it set up where he can download books and listen to them in his car.  (We are something like a superhero team... just sayin').

Saturday was the BIG DAY!! The party was a blast, and Addy had a ball.

On Sunday, we went to the Huddleston Family Reunion and visited for a while.  Afterward, Chris, Mom,
Dad and I loaded up and went to Buckatunna to see Papaw and spent the afternoon visiting and cleaning carpet for him.

We woke up early Monday morning to tell Addy HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY and give her some loving before we had to leave.  After visiting with her then visiting with Elaine for a few minutes, we hit the road.  However, we took our time going home making a few stops here and there.

It was a great long weekend, and we got to see so many people!!  I hate that I had to leave many of the details of the visit out because that could go on for days, but this is a little summary of our visit home!

Warrior Dash!

A few months ago, Bobbie, Billijean and I decided to do the Warrior Dash.

The three of us plus Chris and Jack left on Friday and went to Atlanta to stay at Dwayne's for the night.

On Saturday, we sat by the pool all day soaking up the sun!

We left Saturday evening and went to Murphy, North Carolina, where we had a blast at Doyle's for supper and stayed the night.

The next day, we FINISHED the WARRIOR DASH in only 45 minutes!!!  It was so much fun... and MUDDY!!  Dwayne was not so excited about us getting into his vehicle to ride back to Atlanta, but we made it okay without too big of a mess ;)

Dwayne dared Bobbie to eat a shrimp tail at supper... that didn't end well. 

He also made us put our phones in the middle of the table, and no one was allowed to even look at them!

Shoes people donate after they race in them.

Nice and clean before the race.

One of the first obstacles of many.

Close to the end!

And after...

It was a great weekend.  Definitely one to remember!

Peaches to Magnolias??

A few weeks ago, we decided to make a trip home since we missed going home Easter weekend.  Except this time, we brought Bobbie, Hayden and Billijean home with us for their first ever Mississippi trip!! The drive was long, but we had a good time.  Chris was a little on the funny side asking if Michael Jackson had died and such. 

Brook let us keep Addy Saturday morning before the picnic.  Chris, Bobbie, Hayden, Billijean, Addy and I loaded up and went to Hattiesburg to Chick-fil-a for breakfast.  The most entertaining moment was when Addy's diaper couldn't take anymore and she tinkled all over me and our booth.  Chris about had a panic attack trying to get away.  If only we had a video!

We had a fun family picnic at Paul B.

Cute little Jackson!

Dwayne washing his grocery store feet!

The ride home was interesting, to say the least.  We stopped in Mobile at one of the fruit stands to get some fabulous boiled peanuts.  Hayden had a tummy ache somewhere in Florida and literally ran Chris out of the car!

We were tired, but it was a weekend well spent.
