The Happy Family

Fun at the mall

My sister, Candace, Addie and I

Addie has her hands in her mouth pretty much constantly. Check out the rolls where her wrist should be. :)

She loves this toy!

Addison got this for Christmas from her grandparents. What a lifesaver it is!! She can play with these toys for a long time so I can get other things done. She really goes nuts some times, jumping and sqweelin' ! In this picture she is ready to start chewing on the orange toy. It makes her so happy!!

I love my little Addie!

There are so many things I love about my sweet baby girl ! Here are a few of the sweetest! :)

1- How she tries to lick the washcloth as I am washing her face.

2- The way she talks to herself in her crib in the mornings. She gets louder and louder as if saying "mommy I am awake now, come get me when you're ready."

3-Then I go get her and she stops playing and stares at me for one second then gets the biggest, sweetest smile ever and starts kicking her legs with joy.

4-I love how she is so forgiving and patient with me. She doesn't hold a grudge when I make mistakes.

5-How she splashes has hard as she can in the tub. She laughs the hardest when she gets me wet. (soaked sometimes) :)

6-I love the way she looks at her daddy! And every time she hears his voice she'll stop eating or wake up just to try and see where the sound is coming from. She loves her daddy so much!

7-She thinks everything her mommy does is so funny. It cracks me up. Right now she loves being sang to and when I show her my teeth and clang them together.

8-I love the look on her face while I feed her cereal. Almost like she is saying, "c'mon mom, are you really trying to give me this gross stuff! Sick!"

9- She loves the mirror! Makes the cutest faces!

10- I love how she gets so excited to sit up all by herself. She feels so big and strong. My little independent girl!

11- She will turn her head and follow me all around the room with eyes.

12- I love how she laughs when I change her really poopy diapers. She saves up the doosies just for mama!

13- She doesn't mind being my little buddie. We go everywhere together and hang out all day. We have a blast. I can't get enough of her. (Poor girl would probably like a break from me) That's why she is so happy to see daddy get home from work!!

Addie is such a happy, delightful baby. Being a mom is the best thing I've been done!! What a rewarding and wonderful thing mother-hood has been for me!

Happy 26th Birthday Josh!! We love you!

Sitting up all by herself! Big girl!

Addie 5 mths old

Our sweet girl just cant stop growing! She loves growing up and learning new things. She weighs 16 pounds now..chunking right up. She can almost sit up without any support, she tries hard. She can almost roll over too. I'm not in too much of a hurry for her to learn that trick-- I like how I can put her somewhere and she stays put! She is really becoming vocal. She sighs all the time and makes all kinds of shreeks and shrills. It really gets us laughing. She enjoys playing with her toys and laughing. What a darling baby she is. We are so blessed to have her in our home and in our hearts.

Addie is excited to try her first solid food

5 months old-

She is trying to be so big in her highchair. She is hungry and ready to eat some "big girl food". Gave her some really watered down rice cereal and her reaction........

Not too excited about new food anymore

Josh's New Adventure!

Well he really did it! Josh is part owner of Exit Realty Elite, West Jordan Branch. This is something he has always wanted to do. We got the opportunity sooner then expected, and couldn't pass it up. Josh and 2 friends became owners at the start of this year. They have been very busy getting all the "kinks" worked out. Josh is so excited for the new changes they will bring to the office. They have started doing trainings for the agents and getting them motivated about real estate. He really enjoys his job, he has the perfect personality for it. We are so proud of him!!

Chubby baby girl

Addie is getting so big. She sure has the rolls to prove it. I layed her on her stomach and she just started smiling and posing. And look at the great shots she came up with!!

Addison, our angel

Our sweet baby Addie, 3 months old. Wow she can really get some big smiles going. She is such a happy baby and the love of our lives!
