First trip to the park!

Ah Addie finally gets her first chance at the park! We were so happy the weather was great on Tuesday and I had just gotten over a horrible 3 day flu. We were ready to get out of the house. So to celebrate I put Addie in the stroller and off we went. We have a great new park in our neighborhood that we walked to. I figured we would just sit in the grass but it had the little baby swings. I was excited. I thought Addie might be too little but as you can see she loved it! I sat on the ground under her and would throw my head back when she would swing into me, she laughed her head off. We had a fun time. We are going to go there a lot more now. We only played for about an hour total since it was her first real time out in the sun too. She actually got a little tan line from were her ribbon was. :)

haha her tiny little hands are peeking out

Almost 8 months now....

I love this picture of Addie... she just woke up from a long nap. You can still see the sleepiness in her face... ah so cute!! Addie is getting so smart and learning so many things.
* Now when I am changing her clothes and she has a toy in hand, she will switch it to the other hand so I can take her arms out the sleeves! I was so surprised when she first did it. And she keeps doing it. I love how she learns things all on her own!!
*Also she can roll a ball back and forth with you. She actually thinks it really funny when she looks down and its back in her lap. She likes it when you play it like "hot potato" and pass really fast.
*She also does a funny thing when she is trying to go to sleep. I'll be holding her close as she is drifting asleep and I'll hold her hand. Well she wont have it that way. She pulls her hand away from mine and then puts it right back on my hand!! haha she has to be the one holding MY hand. She will do it over and over if I try to grab her hand. I don't know where she learns these things. But I don't mind that SHE would rather hold MOMMY'S hand.
*She can wave ByeBye now... but she will wave her whole arm and just flap it around like a wet noodle... its pretty funny and totally adorable.
Everyday she does new and funny things. It is such a blast to watch her grow and expand her learning. I'm the luckiest mommy in the world. :)

Here come the toes

So Addie has found her toes now! She has played withher feet for a long time but just now she has started chewing on her toes. It's so cute to watch. I can't believe how flexable she is! It's like she goes right back to fetal position.

"Yes.. contact!"

"What mom? I'm just chewin these toes right off!"

I was washing lunch off of Addie's face in the bathroom and she slid right into the sink. She thought it was funny and so did I. She loved sittin there and me not holding her down so she wouldn't fall. She felt pretty special having her own little seat!

First day lounging in the sun!

Ah it was finally warm enough to hang out outside for more then a few min. So we just went in the back yard and played. Addie loved it. She loves being barefoot too. She kept looking around and laughing. And of course she needed her sun hat on... it was pretty windy. She was such a little model for me. I love the one where we she is looking off.... I didn't even tell her to pose. haha. Bring on the summer!!

Rachel's 24th Birthday on the 13th

My birthday was great. I got to spend the whole day with my family. We pretty much chilled and ate lots of food. My grandma and grandpa Williams came to visit from Arizona. It's always great to see them!! And can you see all the droll on Addie's shirt? Can you say teething??

Addie is helping Daddy make some calls... that blue tooth headset really looks great on her! What a gorgeous secretary!!

Oops.. I forgot to add a picture of Addie's adorable matching pink dress!! It was so fun to have all the bridesmaids and also Addie in matching clothes. Poor thing didn't get to wear a jacket like us though. I'm sure she would of loved the extra warmth! Here she is with Auntie Jessie again. They pretty much hung out all night! :)

Jonny and Ashley's Wedding Day!

Now there are three sisters in the family! Rachel, Ashley, and Jessica. Finally we are out numbering the boys! We all even look alike I think................sisters from other mothers! :)

At the luncheon

Addison and Aunt Jessica!

(Josh, you are lookin sharp in that tux!!)

Josh's brother, Jonny, got married on Thursday to the sweetest girl, Ashley! It was a wonderfull day. They got married at the Salt Lake Temple that morning. It was a beauiful ceremony. We are so happy for them, they are an adorable couple! Here are a few pictures of the busy day...
This is Addie at the temple getting pictures taken. It was windy and cold in the shade (which is were all the pictures were taken) Poor little Addie must of been freezing but it didn't faze her one bit!! She was so happy the entire day!! We all could not believe how good she was in the cold, and not getting her naps, and getting passed all around to family. She loved it! She was such a trooper and we are so proud of her! She really couldn't of acted ANY better! The next picture is the happy couple!! Ashley was stunningly beautiful the whole day and Jonny was handsome as could be!
