Christmas Cuties!

Each year, we make it a tradition to get the kids fancy Christmas outfits. Here are this year's : sooo cute!

My Little Princess

This year, Addie and I made it a new tradition to go to the Princess Tea Party at the Festival of Trees. We went with our friends Jessica and Ava and had so much fun! I'm pretty sure Addie didn't fully appreciate the amazing little details that the planners put into this, but she finally got to wear her Snow White costume, which was all she cared about! She also got to meet about every Disney Princess possible, and she thought she was in heaven!!

Halloween Festivities

Do these silly animals look familiar?


















We had a fun Halloween this year! Addie has been so excited to wear her ladybug costume since we bought it about 2 months ago. I can't believe she lasted so long! I also can't believe I got her to take it off! Jackson made such a cute tiger, and he didn't complain once! We went to Idaho Falls on Friday night to Boo at the Zoo with the cousins and did trick or treating at the mall and the neighborhood on Saturday.

Here is a slideshow of our festivities:

Best of Friends

Wow, we have had quite the couple of weeks with sick, sick kids!!! Addie is still on the fence, but Jackson is doing MUCH better. He is a completely new baby! He has been so happy since his recovery. This video is hilarious - he was laughing hysterically at Addie simply stomping her feet on the ground:

Vacation Posts

This first slideshow is from our trip to Utah about a month ago. It was one of our last 5 day weekends of the summer, so we went to my parents' house for a few days and then down to Ogden's dinosaur park. We stayed in Layton, did some shopping (of course) and then met Matt's brother, Michael, and his girlfriend, Jessica, at Lagoon. We had a blast!

About a week after that trip, we flew to Seattle for Matt's education conference. We left Addie home with Aunt Ashlee, and the three of us had a great time. We hit the Space Needle, Pike's Place Market, ate some yummy seafood, and had great seats at a Mariner's game.

Our Little Idol

I have finally figured out how to use our video on our camera and Addie has been cooperating so nicely. Here is one of her singing her favorite song, "Temple" as she calls it:

Ok, and I PROMISE I will post updates about our vacations soon!

Addie's First Bike Ride!

Well, I have so many things to post and catch up on but I wanted to post this quick video of Addie. She learned to ride her bike all by herself today! She has been so excited ever since Grandma Taylor bought her a princess bike that it is all she has talked about. Here we are on our evening stroll. Thanks Grandma and congratulations Addie!
