Girls Trip to visit Home

My sister-in-law and I decided we were going to load up the girls and take a trip Home to visit.  Well  for me it's almost a 10 hr drive.  I drove down to salt lake the night before and the next day we left for home.  I think I was as bad as the girls on this trip...I wondered if we were ever going to get there.  We did and had a great time

Livi is thinking as to whether she likes the Bumbo...

Christmas in New Mexico

Christmas in New Mexico was so much fun.  We got to spend time with Gammy and Pops, go to the airport in Durango and see Todd get home from his mission, visit with nanny and Papa, play with Sofi and Ruby and of course feed the chickens every day we were there.

Kallie Graduates.......

Well we will never forget this graduation.  We sat down in in the bleacher, there was a light breeze, and really dark clouds in the distance.  We knew they were coming for us.  You would think that this would hurry things along, cutting out the unnecessary things maybe starting a bit early....

No such luck.  10 or so minutes into it, here came the rain.  A spit, then a pee, then downpour.  We had a steady rain for the rest of evening, about 2 hours!!!!!  Allen got soaked, I shelded Addie, and I had my hood on, but it was not as much fun as the pictures will show.  We all wanted to drink Hot Chocolate when we got home.  Therefore not pictures with the graduate.  Oh Well :( :(

9 Months

Well 9 months is here.  It's crazy to think that we've had Addison here with us as long as I carried her.  This last month has been really fun to see her pick up new things and start doing them.

She likes to make the same sounds I make.  I make bubble sounds and she tries to do them to.  She started waving and what can you say...just so cute!!!!


We have a mad cry now.  When she doesn't get something she wants...like mommy's phone, or the food I'm eating or I don't pick her up when she thinks I should, we get the uuurrrrrrr cry.  She's a feisty one!!!!

This last week, April 8-14, we went to New Mexico to visit.  On the way we stopped and met Aunt Daphne and played with Sarah again.  We love Sarah!!!! We had a a lot of fun.  We wish we were closer and could visit more often!!!!  Addison and gammy are good pals now.

Fall Weekend at Home (new mexico)

We were able to go home for a few days...I wish we didn't live so far so we could go home more.  When I was living in Utah, it was only 6 hours, but now add another 3 hours to that and a baby and the drive seems forever.  FALL is my favorite season......the warm sun with the crisp air, the smell of apples or something being canned, homecoming,  and of course pumpkins!!!!

Kallie (my sister) was nominated for Homecoming queen, so we headed down to participated in all the fun activities.  We made Navajo Tacos (homecoming isn't homecoming without them), created all different kinds of caramel apples, and carved pumpkins.  The weekend was so enjoyable. 

First, the parade and then the game and the announcement of THE queen.....Kallie didn't win but she should have!!!!!

I had to stand in the shadows of the stop sign so Addie wouldn't get sun blasted. 

First night out with the baby.  She was all bundled up so you can't see her but we had fun. 

Sofi(my niece) wanted to ride the tractor around the track, but she settled for pretending!!

Pumpkin carving was so much fun and not as much work as it looks like. I have never used a pumpkin cutting kit before, but I won't leave home without one again.  It worked really good.
