The Snake

This picture says it all! So sad, but so cute at the same time! Mr. Snake was living in a hole underneath our cement in the backyard. Bryson caught him the other day and tried to get Addie to touch it! Well, from the picture you can see how it went!

Addie's Pool

Now that we have our very own backyard, we bought Addie her very own pool! She had fun swimming and playing with her toys while Bryson and I tried to catch some rays (warning we are extremely pasty, don't be scared)!!!!

Doesn't she look cute in her little Tankini

Waving Hi

We found this in the garden the previous owners had planted! It was extremely large! Since then we have found three others even bigger!

4th of July!!

We didn't do anything extravagant for the 4th this year, because we had just moved into our house. Bryson also had to go into work that day, so we all went to lunch and hit up the mall before he had to leave.

Addie and Grandpa

Addie and the Robin at "Red Robin." She was not afraid of him at all and was actually trying to hit him! We were laughing so hard(I know we are horrible) but it was super funny!

I guess the mall tuckered her out!

Later that night, Me and my Dad watched four different firework shows from our new backyard! It was really pretty and such a nice view of all the different cities fireworks!

10 Months Old!!!

Dear Addie-

Ten Months old has came and went way to fast! Right now as I write this, you are almost 11 months old, leaving us with one more month before you become a big "One" year old. Ten months has been the funnest month yet with you. You did so many new and fun things this month that it is hard to keep up with you. You have started walking all over the place holding on to things. You love your fire truck that Grandpa bought you and push it all over the place like such a big girl! You have started to stand up unassisted and even took two steps the other day all by yourself. We are just waiting for you to decide you don't need us anymore and take off on those cute chubby legs of yours!
We moved to our first house a few weeks ago, and after a few days of being there you mastered crawling up all the stairs! You have been talking so much lately and love to say "Uh Oh" about everything you see. We laugh so hard when you wake up in the morning or from naps, because the first thing we hear is "Uh Oh" over and over again. You also have started to say Thank you(daydo), Peekaboo(teekadoo),Mama, Doggie, Duck, Quack and when we ask what a Doggie says you respond with "Ruff Ruff." You love to also imitate anything your hear and have become pretty good at the siren noise of your fire truck or a cop car(this of course makes Daddy very happy). You love to wave hello and bye bye to everyone you see, and when we ask you to give kisses you lean in with those big lips and give us a smacker!! You have become such a cuddler lately and we love it! You love to give us "loves" and hug us whenever we ask, you also give all your stuffed animals big squeezes daily, and it is so cute!
You have also become such a fun little dancer, everytime you hear music you squat down and start to shake your little bum, and in the last few days you have also added a head shake back and forth which cracks us up! You love to play games with us and lately your favorites are peekaboo and throwing your food on the floor(which Mom is not a fan of). You have discovered the wonders of table food, and want nothing to do with your baby food any longer! You also have four teeth on bottom now and four/almost five on top!! We have had so many laughs with you this month and love seeing all the new tricks you can do! We love you girlie!
Love,
Mom and Dad

Traci's Wedding

While we were in St. George, Traci got hitched! What can I say, besides the fact that I was so glad I got to be there and it was so much fun seeing all my girlfriends in one place! The wedding was gorgeous which I wouldn't expect anything less from Trac!

3 Weeks in St. George

We spent 3 whole weeks in St. George, back in June, while I was getting my Lasik done. Bryson only got to spend a few days with us, because he had to be back to work, but Addie and I enjoyed the warm weather by swimming for her very first time! She had so much fun in the Westbrook's pool and loved floating around in the cute pink floaty! We were also able to be there for my Mom's Birthday, and it was fun surprising her with some cute pictures of the Grandkids! Addie was hilarious while we were staying at my parents house. She tore my Mom's front room apart every moring and loved the little car my parents had. She would seriously play with it for hours!!! We had so much fun with everyone, but really missed our Daddy!!! We were happy when he finally joined us down in St. George and got some swimming in with us!

9 Months

Dear Sis-

I cannot believe you are already nine months old and getting older as we speak! You have become your own little person and it's so fun to watch you learn and grow each day. You have started talking up a storm and have added many words to your vocabulary. Some of your favorite things to say include: Dadda, Babba, and Up!!! You have mastered the art of crawling and of pulling yourself up to standing. You have started testing the waters of walking along the furniture and have been getting better each day!
You love playing with all your toys and lately one of your favorites has to be your wooden blocks! Both your Dad and I cringe every time you put them in your mouth and scratch your teeth up against them, just like nails on a chalkboard!!!
You have four teeth so far, and new ones seem to keep popping up everyday making that little smile even cuter!! We feel so lucky to have such a fun little girl in our lives, who loves to enjoy people and all the new things around her! We love you like crazy and crack up every time we hear your little devil laugh!! Can't wait to see what tricks you have up your sleeve next month, We Love You!!!
Love, Mom and Dadda!!!
