11 Months

Once again I cannot believe how fast 11 months old came and went! You just get funner and funner everyday and before I know it weeks have passed! You spent a lot of time in your little pool this month, working on that little tan of yours! You just love being outside and have so much fun with all your toys in the pool. You started getting brave and sticking you face in the water and then would pick your head up and start laughing! You also thought it was pretty hilarious to roll in and out of your pool, until the prickly grass was all over you!
You have gotten so good at standing up on your own and have also experimented with taking a couple steps here and there, but I think crawling is still your favorite seeing as that you can crawl like a little maniac! Your hair has actually started growing like a little weed and it could not be any cuter! It is still as blonde as ever and has got some major curl to it! You are such a little girly girl, you sit so still when I am doing your hair, but once I am done there is no catching you the rest of the day!
You amazes us everyday with how much you understand us now and all the new words that come out of that mouth! I wish I could remember them all, but you have quite the vocabulary! You also have the most teeth I have ever seen in a 11 month old! You are up to 10 right now with 4 molars almost all the way in! We just can't believe you are almost a big 1 year old and look forward to see what you surprise us with in month 12!
Love you Sissy,
Mom

Almost One.....

I can't believe our little baby is almost one........where does the time go??

Cache Valley and Catching Up! (Keep Scolling for New Posts that go all the way onto the next page!)

I have been so bad at blogging lately! Summers are usually pretty busy for us, but in the middle of all of our craziness we also moved into our very first home! We were so excited to find a home we loved in the cutest little neighborhood with so many little friends for Addie to play with. It is also really close to Bryson's work and now we have our very own backyard, that we have been wanting forever! We moved in end of June and have been painting and unpacking boxes in the midst of many visitors and also some traveling. We our loving every minute in our new place and have already fallen in love with the area and all of our neighbors! I guess that kinda explains why I have been so horrible at posting lately, but I have gotten completely caught up, so make sure you keep scrolling down for new posts cause there are a lot! (pictured above is Bryson, Me, Addie, My Aunt Lisa and Uncle Dale)
We went up to Cache Valley last weekend and had so much fun visiting with family. We stayed with my grandparents and got to visit with my Aunt, Uncle and cousins too. We took Addie to the Willow Park Zoo while we were there. She had so much fun, and I felt like a proud Mom watching her point and talk to all the animals. She learned to say "Duck" and "Quack" while there. She got so excited seeing the ducks that we had to get her out of her stroller so she could squat down at their level, it was way to cute!

Of course her "Dolly" had to come along with us

Quacking at the ducks!

Pointing out the animals

Addie also had her very first Ice Cream cone at the famous "Angie's". It was just her size and she had a death grip on it! She was eating it so fast and getting brain freeze, we could not stop laughing, I wish I would have gotten it on video.

Addie loved this swing in my Grandpa's backyard

The Whole Crew

Addie loved this Chair, she just sat in it and read her books

Addie fell asleep right in my Mom's lap while they were rocking, she never does this, so we had to get a picture!

Hitting some balls with Gramps

Me and my Gramps!
(I know. ..my legs are super white, please don't judge!!!) hahaha

Pioneer Day!

My parents were up visiting over the 24th of July, so we had fun spending the day with them. I'm not sure why I didn't get any pictures of all of us, but these ones of Addie and her Grandma are pretty cute!

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!
