CHRISTMAS TIME 2010

We had a fantastic Christmas season! We have so many traditions and spend so much time with family that it is the most wonderful time of the year!

For Christmas Eve my family always goes to Temple square to see the lights... It always seems to be a battle to get there for everyone but as soon as I get there it is all worth it! Temple square is beautiful all year round! After the lights we go back to my parents house and eat crepes... after dinner we exchange gifts between the little grandkids. Savanna got Addison a cute ballerina barbie and my parents got Addison a glitter barbie. She loves barbies lately... When she opened one of them she screamed so loud! It was hilarious! She seriously makes me laugh all day!

Then all the kids still at home (Elizabeth and Katie) plus the grandkids opened their jammies! My mom made all the little grandkids jammies again this year, she made the little girls night gowns. They turned out cute! After that everyone headed home while Jake and I stayed at my parents. We decided that it might be fun to spend Christmas morning at their house this year... A couple deciding factors

*We usually go there first thing in the morning

*We thought it would be fun for Addison to spend the night there and open all her gifts with her aunts and grandparents

*My little Brother was calling from Brazil and I didn't want to miss it!

My little brother is doing great and is catching on with the language! I am so proud of him and look up to him so much... not cause he is taller but because I could never leave my family for two years, let alone leave them to go to another country all by myself! He is brave and a faithful missionary!

I think we all got more then we could ever ask for and just had a great time spending it with so many family members!

I love holidays with kids! It makes it so much more exciting, even more than when I was a kid!

Things I have learned from this Christmas season:

*Pregnant Christmas shopping is the worst!

*Taking a toddler Christmas shopping is even more worst!

*Going Christmas shopping with my parents has to be the worst of the worst!

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! We sure have and can't wait for what 2011 has for us! Lots to look forward to!

ITS A...

We can't wait!

Boy or Girl???

We will be finding out what the gender of baby #2 in a week... I thought it would be fun to see what everyone thinks the sex of our baby will be. So vote! Please!

BABY NUMBER 2 is coming in JUNE!

THAT'S RIGHT! We have done it again! We just think we can make pretty darn good babies so we thought why not add another one into the mix!

I had my second Dr appointment today and I will be 11 weeks tomorrow. I love to see the changes every time we go and boy has our little kidney bean changed! We could see everything, legs, arms and even little fingers! It was moving around like crazy and I couldn't believe that I am carrying yet another one of Jake's babies ;)

Addison doesn't really understand that I have a baby in my stomach, but I am sure once I start getting fat she will be curious. She came with Jake and I to the appointment today and my Dr handed the ultrasound pictures to Jake and Addison pulled it right out of his hands just stared at them like whats so interesting about this?

We are all so excited and I can't wait to see how Addison reacts to a baby in the house... she loves babies and she is such a good little mommy with her dolls! As I type this she is trying to put on her size 5 diapers on her little doll... she can change all the new babies diapers if she wants, fine by me! HA HA

This pregnancy has been pretty good so far! I have yet to be super sick or throw up... THANK GOODNESS! I am however sooo sooo tired! I think it's cause I am having to entertain a toddler all day. Jake had helped a lot around the house and with Addison even though he works and goes to school full time.

I am due June 8th... so freakin far away!

Who wouldn't want another on of these beautiful things?!

Better late than never right?

Halloween is always a good time... My family has a Halloween party every year and it gets better every time! Addison was fun to watch this year! This time around she could walk to the door and when it was time to move onto the next house she would run and say go go go!

Addison was a black kitty! My mom made the arm and leg warmers plus the cute tutu and tale! She did such a great job... She made all the little girls costumes this year and even last years. My mom is super Grandma!

I was lucky to ride around my parents car while Jake took her door to door... It was way toooo cold for me. Addison was so excited about her candy, as was Jake and I :). We all shared Addi's hard work and boy did it taste good. It actually lasted us a good while. Jake was a dog to go along with Addison's cat costume. I wanted to dress up but at the last minute things didn't work out... oh well, there is always next year right?

Here are some photos of our fun Halloween night... ENJOY!

These two pictures below kill me! She was eating her chili how she thought a cat would!

Look how pleased she is!

The three little ladies

Addison was born a month after two of her cousins, Savanna (Jessica's) and Brooklyn (Sharee's). Needless to say they are all really close in age.

At first they didn't really notice one another but recently they have become good little friends.

They all have such funny personalities!

Addison loves to just follow them around and play with them.

When they were all newborns everyone use to say Addison was the nuggets, Brooklyn was the Jr cheese burger and Savanna was the BIG MAC! Now I think Addison is the biggest!

What can I say, she loves her food! I try to get Addi to say their names and when she will its Booky for Brooklyn and Nanna for Savanna.

Newborns

BIG MAC, Jr Cheese burger, and the chicken nugget

I love this photo of them! They are so funny!

We looked over and they were all sitting like that on their own,

they are the best of friends!

Confessions of my Obsessions

Mmmm Pizza Factory Bread Twistssss... Must have with ranch!

Oatmeal chocolate chip cookies!

THE BEST SHOW EVER! Jake and I die laughing in every episode.

I highly recommend it if you are into a good laugh!

You have to watch from the beginning though... Cockamouse episode is HILARIOUS!

If you are like me and suffer from freakin bad skin this stuff rocks!

AAAAANNNNND This adorable little lady! She seriously cracks Jake and I up all day!

She says so many things now!

Some of my favorites are Calcon (all gone or all done), butt, buuubutton (bellybutton), Nooooo,
