Getting ready to go for a walk to the park on a cold February day.

First time down the slide.

Addie is such a great helper. Here she is helping her Dad with the dishes.

Addie was having so much fun taking the basketball and putting it into the boppy and then taking it out.

After washing our quilt I made a tent in the front room so it could dry. Here is Addie exploring this fun new creation.

What can I say I have a cutie for a daughter.

Addie loves being in between my legs, so this is us sweeping up the floor.

This is one way that I think she learned how to walk.

For Addie's Birthday I decided that I wanted to do a fun cake and I looked online and had to debate over all the fun looking cakes. Finally Aaron and I decided on doing a train cake. I did not think that the engine and cars would be enough so I decide to add cupcake and do trees with them. Needless to say with my mom's, Emilee's and Aaron's help we ended up with a lemon, apple and orange tree; a blueberry bush; the train and four cars and a pond with a duck. I think that we enjoyed it more then Addie did.

Addie is a true girlie girl, she will get my purses that I am not using out and carry them around. Addie also loves ice cream buckets, she loves stacking them full of toy and carrying them around. I even saw her with two ice cream buckets full of toys the other day.

So my brother Troy gave Addie a redvine over Christmas and for her birthday he also gave her some. So here she is eating her new found love redvines.

One day I was thinking "Hey I can put Addie's hair into one piggy tail why not three?" So here is the three piggies.

Addie is getting so strong. She pulled the clothing tub out of her room and into the hall.

It is hard to see but Addie is playing peek-a-boo with Opa. She was laughing so hard that she could hardly stand up to play it again.

This is something Aaron saw on his business trip in California.

Sand castles at the beach in California.

This is my little sister Emilee ready to go to the prom. I do have to take credit of doing her updo. Thank you Google for helping me learn in three days how to do this!

Emilee with her date John.

Mom, Brandon, Matt, Aaron, Addie and I all surprised Emilee at the prom. What she is not know at the time was that she would later be crowned the attendant to the queen. I am so proud to say that she is the first in the family to be royalty. The funny thing is right before they announced the royalty Emilee said "Totally not me" I wish that we could have had a picture of her face when it was announced it was HILARIOUS.

Addie out with her dad enjoying the spring day while I took a nap.

CUTE!

Christmas Time and January Fun

Auntie Em with Addie and Caleb having fun on her lap.

I can finally put Addie's hair up into one pony tail.

She was so proud that she could climb into the under part of the exerciser.

Chilling with uncle Nate.

Addie got a monkey in her stocking.

As you can probably see she is getting really tired so we had to hurry through presents.

Grandma made a button bracelet for Addie since she loves playing with buttons.

I did put Addie's hair up into a pony tail but she pulled it out and so she had a mo-hawk.

Grandma bought matching dresses for Quinn and Addie. They are such cuties!

This is what you get when mom sleeps in and dad is organizing the cupboards.......Addie up in the cupboard above the fridge. She sure did have a blast.

Addie was climbing up the couch and decided that Nate was a good foot stole.

"Look at what I can do mom!" Yes that is a rubber ducky in her mouth and yes it is the head sticking out.

Close up

I was doing dishes and I had not heard from Addie for a while and I found her in her tub of toys. She is starting to climb on things.

I have decided that Addie has Italian genes in her because for a while all she would eat was noodles and sauce. It did not matter what kind of noodles or sauce as long as it was Italian she was great with eating it.

Excited+ Messy Face= A Very Happy Girl

In January Brandon, Tyson, Troy, Ethan and I went motorbiking down in St. George. The weather was in the high 50's and 60's. Ethan learned how to drive the four-wheeler all by himself.

Sorry that there are only two pictures I forgot the camera in the car. So these were all taken when we were loading up the bikes. We had so much fun though!

Look at the contrast it is not amazing?
