We love Christmastime!

Addie has discovered who Santa is this year and has realized that if she sits on his lap, he might bring her a pony!























On Matt's birthday, he had to go to Salt Lake for a conference, so we joined him and went to see the lights at temple square. Addie was intrigued by all the waterfalls. She also was fast to point out "baby Jesus". The temple looks even more beautiful lit up at Christmastime!













We love Christmastime and are having so much fun this year with Addie. She loves driving around and looking at the lights. She points out them all by saying, "OOOOOHHH pretty!" She especially loves the train under our Christmas tree. Ocassionally we have to tell her it is "broken" or else it would be running 24 hours a day!

We also want to let Amber Moon and her family know that they are in our thoughts and prayers. Her new baby girl, Ali, is at Primary Children's and we wish the best for her in her recovery!

Happy Birthday Addie!

Well, it was Addison's birthday on Saturday, November 15, and I can hardly believe that my little baby is two!! We had her party at Outer Limits and it was a lot of fun. The kiddos loved running around in the playland and even the adults got to have some fun in the game room. Addie got so many presents that I think we'll rewrap half of them and put them under the Christmas tree (wink wink). She loves them all and just likes to sit on the couch and have me pile them all around her. Thanks everyone for celebrating with us on Addie's big day!

Here are some pictures from the party:

It's A Boy!

That's right - our little baby is going to be a boy! Either that or it's a girl with 3 legs. Seriously...do you see that in the picture? It's pretty obvious! We are so excited! The ultrasound went really well. Everything looked fine and the dates are right on, so we can expect him around March 26/27th. Matt will have himself a little wrestler after all!

Our Little Princess

Happy Halloween! We had such a fun day. Addie LOVED her princess costume, and, surprisingly, she even held still while I put her hair in rollers. When she was all ready, she looked at herself in the mirror and kept saying, "oh, cute!" We trick-or-treated at Grandma's work, the mall, and a few houses in our neighborhood. She did pretty well and was especially excited to get all the candy. She was also sure to tell everyone, "I'm a princess." It's so fun to see Addie growing up and enjoying all these new experiences.

Fun Fall Day

We had so much fun today! We started the day off by watching the ISU homecoming parade. Addie LOVED picking up all the candy, and she wore the orange and black beaded necklaces she got all day long. I think we can skip trick or treating because she got so much! Then, we went to Swore Farms this afternoon. It was our first time there and we had a blast. It's a real farm, so Addie got to feed the animals, walk through a corn maze, and pick her very own pumpkin from their HUGE patch. She even bobbed for an apple and held still while a pumpkin was painted on her face. We had a great time. Matt and I are so happy to finally be enjoying some weekends off together as a familiy!

My blog begins!

Hi! I've done it! I finally created a blog- thanks Genessa! I'm so excited and hopefully I'll stay on top of it. I love looking at all of your blogs, so it inspired me to create my own. It's really fun to stay in touch and see what is going on in eachother's lives! Wish me luck!
