Aunt Rebecca Came to Visit

My sister Rebecca came to stay with us for a week. It was wonderful!!! We miss her so much since she's moved to New York a couple years ago - 5 hours away!!! We had a lot of fun this past week: zoo, garage sale, and misc 'stuff'. Our first morning we went to Bob Evans for breakfast.

This is how Addi smiles for the camera now...I remember a certain cousin Victoria doing the same thing not too long ago!!

Garage Sales...

so, I don't know who all will apprecitate this post but maybe some will...I have found a new obsession/hobby that I love to do on my non-crazy/busy Thursday and Friday mornings...GARAGE SALES...I have been finding baby items, toddler toys, and a little of this and that...Here's today's finds and their retail value: (maybe I'll post pics later...just to prove how good of a deal)

Graco Highchair: RETAIL$100 WHAT I PAID $15

Graco carseat base: RETAIL$42 WHAT I PAID $0

Crib mattress: RETAIL$150 WHAT I PAID $10

Little Tykes Turtle Sandbox: RETAIL$40 WHAT I PAID $10

Backpack Carrier: RETAIL$100 WHAT I PAID $4

Futon: RETAIL$500 WHAT I PAID $15

Patio Table with Umbrella: RETAIL$300 WHAT I PAID $10

TOTAL: RETAIL$1232 WHAT I PAID $64

This is why it's all worth it!!!

Sand City

When I was a little girl, we had a turtle sandbox. So, obviously I want Addison to have the same experience that her mama did and I have been "nagging" Nate to get one. Well...today, reguarly priced $49.99 at Wal-Mart, I bought a turtle sandbox (one of many good finds) on a garage sale binge for $10!! I came home, Clorox'ed it up and voila...Addison's first of many turtle sandbox memories...

oh yeah, since we didn't have any sand toys...my Tupperware and plasticware did the job!!

Summer Playgroup Fun

Cousins: Landon and Addison @ our first summer playgroup. We met 4 other kiddos at Kaleidoscope Park in Wadsworth. We can't wait until our next playdate!!

First Swim of the Summer

Addison got her first baby pool and so of course we just had to try it out...so, being the nice mama that I am, I filled it up with warm/hot water thinking it would be better for Addi plus with it being a little windy...it would cool it down...The pool was so hot that we had to wait an hour to get in...nice one mama!!!

wish i looked this cute in a swimsuit...
