November Fun Times

Every year the Allen family gets together for Thanksgiving and on the Friday or Saturday after we go Christmas tree hunting. This year we had such a blast. Addison had her first four wheeler ride. She acted like a pro by ducking behind Uncle Matt and Grandma to keep her face out of the wind. She is one smart cookie.

Addison loves being in her carrier every time I would stop she would start jumping up and down to get me going again. She loved being out side in the mountains, looking at the trees and having fun with the family.

We left to go Christmas tree hunting at 9:00 a.m. Addie would only fall asleep while holding her Daddy's hand.

Addison is getting to long for her first car seat so we bought her this one. This is Addison when Aaron is tickling her.

For my birthday Aaron got me some freezer baskets. Addison was looking interested so Aaron put her in. She loved it.

When Aaron comes home from work Addie get put up on Aaron's shoulders so I can finish dinner.

After the Lassig Halloween party Aaron, Addison and I walked home, Addison was so tired we put her to bed in her jacket with her hood on. This is her when she woke up. I just love her hair style.

Addison is learning leaps and bounds. This is at the beginning of November when she learned how to stand up.

For Halloween Addison and I were cowgirls and Aaron was a biker.

Addie with her ducks. I will try to get a video with her getting all three later on.

-------------Addison is Growing!---------

Addison loves sucking on her toes. If I can get a the video to work it is the cutest thing ever to see her pacify herself before bed time.

Addison learned that she could only go so far so she tried to roll up the polls and this is what happened.

Since we had plywood in our kitchen I did not want her playing on it so I got the pack and play out so she could be in the kitchen with us and still play. This is her playing with the carrier.

For Labor Day Aaron took us out to see the spiral jetty (the north end of the Salt Lake).

Addie learned how to kneel.

I think that any parent will do anything to make their child laugh, so I am blowing on Addie cheeks and she would grab my face and give my kisses back.

It is so exciting to see Addie learn and grow and see how her little brain is working. I love cheering her on and seeing what she can do next maybe......walking I guess we will just have to see.

Pictures from Grandma's Camera

This picture was taken when Addie was about two months, when she had a hard time going to sleep. Grandma had the special touch that day. Thanks mom for always being there for me and helping though those challenging times.

Addie's hair was getting really long and stringing so when we were up in Idaho Grandma gave Addie her first hair cut. Addie did really well with having it cut, she just played with toys while Aaron and I talked to her.

I think this picture is the future of what 2 cousins are going to be... BEST FRIENDS FOREVER! This is Quinn she is 6 weeks younger then Addie.

BIG KISS!

Addie, Quinn and Auntie Em handing out and chilling.

Hey mom and dad look at my new trick.

Conference weekend I took Addie out to see Aaron, Brandon, Matt, Em and Grandma working on winterizing the gardens. Doesn't she look so excited. I also have one of my cold sores, they are a pain but I only get them once a year instead of every three months.

Well I have to admit that I had one of those dumb mom moments. I was in the bathroom washing my face and Addie was playing on by bed surrounded by pillows when all of a sudden I hear a thud and cry.....Addie fell off the bed onto our hard wood floor and ended up with a bump on her head and a black eye. I felt like such a horrible mother, but she still gives me hugs and kisses so I think she forgave me.

Addie is getting such a cute personality here are some of those cute moments.

Whoever invented little people I need give a big thanks. Addie loves the alligator and peacock when she is at Grandma's house.

Addie loves standing up and seeing the view now days.

Aaron taught me how to play star craft and so this is the boys and I playing. After two games I finally did not have to ask what to do every two minutes it turned into three or four minutes.

Uncle B and Addie having fun playing.

Addie up on all fours rocking back and forth, she started crawling four days later.

I love this picture because it totally shows the mischief side of Addison.

I went home to Idaho to help my mom do apple sauce and pies. This is Addison's first apple.

Yummy!

OOO Ya this is great.

We tried a carrot next.

She loved it!

When Aaron goes on a business trip I usually go to Idaho to visit. On one of those trips my mom and I whet to Logan to run some errands and ended up getting two cute little snow hats for Addison this is one of them.
