Did the Easter Bunny Come to Your House?

Because it definitely came to ours! It was Addy's first Easter and I wasn't quite sure what to do about the fact that she cannot yet eat candy. Then I thought of the brilliant idea of substituting goldfish (her absolute favorite snack) and cereals for the candy. She LOVED her Easter basket and that made me so happy! She had a blast taking everything out one-by-one and making a little pile of her treasures. You should have seen the excitement on her face when I opened her egg and out fell goldfish! So cute! We had fun relaxing as family, eating lamb for dinner (yum!), and watching conference.

Fun in the Sun!

The past few days have been sooo nice! We were lucky enough to get out Friday and Saturday to enjoy it quite a bit. Yesterday, Tyler got home from school a little bit early and we took Addy to the little park across the street. She LOVED it! Her favorite was the swing. She would laugh and laugh as we pushed her.

She also had fun slapping the seat of the teeter-totter and sliding down the slide.


We will have to take her here more often! It's so fun to see the things she's interested in as she gets older. I love that she is starting to interact with us so much more!

Ergo Giveaway

I have wanted one of these baby carriers since I found out about them. From what I have heard they are the most comfortable thing out there! Way better then Baby Bjorn. If you want the chance to win one Piece Of Me is doing a giveaway for a free Ergo! How great would it be to win one?! Go here to check it out!

Busy Body

We have one busy little girl on our hands! If she isn't busy flushing the toilet, tipping the garbage over, or reading her books, you would probably find her here...



pulling all the books off the shelf! After cleaning them up twice in an hour, I decided to leave them on the floor. :) Good thing I packed those books today. Which leads me to our next announcement...
We're moving! Again! I know! We found a place in our ward just across the street that will save us a ton in rent and has more storage! It is a little bit smaller, but is still 2 bedrooms and even has 2 bathrooms! We're kind of excited... I think we started getting a little ansy because we haven't moved in a year (that's a record for us since we've been married). PLUS! What a great way to spring clean!
(please ignore the messy hair and crusty nose... she just woke up)
Miss Addy "helping" us move. The sound of the packing tape coming off the roll scares her and she whines, it's kind of cute. She also tries to unpack the box that I am currently packing... I might have to start packing during her nap times to be more efficient. We'll see.

Girl Time!

My good friends Megan and Marissa have birthdays that are just a few days apart! This year they decided to do a joint birthday party! What better way to celebrate than to have a tea party? It was a blast! We got to dress up, drink tea, and have girl time! I cannot think of a better way to celebrate their birthdays, I'm ready for someone elses birthday and another tea party!
Marissa (birthday girl number 1)


Megan (birthday girl number 2)



I'm so glad that I have made such great friends here! We are all lucky to have each other and I don't know how I would survive the process of dental school without them! Love you girls!

On The Move!

I bought this toy for Addelyn today at a consignment sale. I did not think that she would be ready to use it yet, but she definitely surprised us! Look at her go! At this rate she will be walking in no time!

This is How Long I was Pregnant...

9 months! And now my baby is 9 months old! I cannot believe that it has already been 9 months. These have gone so much faster than my pregnancy. She is so big! We had her 9 month check-up at the doctor today. She got 2 shots and these are her stats:

Weight: 19 lbs 6 oz. 75th %
Height: 28 inches 75th %
Head: 45 3/4 cm 90th %

I don't think her head looks THAT big! Apparently, they think so. Hopefully the rest of her body will catch up!

Things Addy loves to do are:
~Eat Kix and Goldfish from her snacktrap
~Walk along the furniture
~Stand and then let go of whatever she is holding onto (she will stand for a few seconds on her own)
~She still loves books
~She is such a jabbery little girl
~She no longer has a clogged tear duct!

Her she is in her shining after 2 shots glory!

Our Little Cheeser!

Friday night Addy was ready for bed and just looked so cute sitting on the floor. I got out my camera and she did the cheesiest smile I have EVER seen her do! I have no idea where it came from, but we laughed so hard about it. And we were lucky enough to catch it on camera, twice!

And of course she did some cute faces too...

And yes, she does have a pea in her mouth. haha

Here are just some cute pictures from lately of Addy hanging out with mom and dad.

Hanging out with dad and her toothbrush.


I really like this picture! I should probably take more pictures of Addy with us... I don't do that too often.


Addy is enjoying spending time with me, watching Wheel of Fortune, and eating her Kix!

Our Weekend "Away"

This past weekend we celebrated our 2nd year anniversary! We thought it would be fun to just get out. Tyler's mom came and watched little Addy for us. (It was the first time I have left her overnight!) Needless to say, she was fine and they had a blast together!
I did remember my camera, however, I forgot to bring it out at all! Bummer... so these pictures are courtesy of the internet.
We stayed here in downtown Portland (Marriott Hotel).

Ate here


And walked around here (the Lloyd Center Mall)


We had a nice relaxing night and were able to just enjoy being together! It was a great way to celebrate 2 years of marriage! Love you babe!

I Think it's Time to...

Lower her crib! This is how I find her every morning and after every nap. I am afraid she is going to start trying to climb over!

I know this one is kind of blurry (my flash was off), but I thought it was pretty darn cute!

Also, a few things I forgot to mention in my previous post:
~Addy will sit on the floor and read books to herself (she will turn the pages and talk)... I need to get this one on camera!
~She absolutely loves to shower with me! I started putting her in the tub because I don't know what else to do with her. She automatically goes straight for the drain and mainly plays down there. She will also pull herself up to the sides of the tub. I am very surprised that she doesn't mind the water getting in her eyes and spraying her!
~She LOVES to help me do the dishes! She will stand up to the dishwasher and pull out her little spoons.
