Still cold but keeping Warm

I love watching Addy grow each day. Every day there is something new that she does. I turned the corner the other day and she was just talking to herself and so proud that she had found the shower cap and put it on her head! She is independent.....she wants to do things on her own and I love that about her because she learns really fast because of this! It was so funny to see her in the shower cap! She loves to dress up all the time. Brad and I finally got a pretty good picture I would say so I just had to put it up because I love my B so much and am so proud of him! This trimester is already a killer and he is so dedicated, I know he will get through it as long as their is food on the table because he loves food! We are loving life and trying to get through this winter stuff, I am not liking the cold but hopefully the warm will come sooner than I think:) That is just wishful thinking I know!

Winter Time

We had so much fun in Salt Lake and Olympia for the holidays! It was great seeing family. At my parents house Addy loved the clementines (pic above) she threw them all over the place! Santa visited us and brought Addy lots of fun new toys which we had to ship home. It was great to be with Brad and be lazy. Addy was able to play with her cousins in Oly and they had lots of fun running around and we found out that Addy loves to be in her diaper and no clothes. As soon as I would go to change her she was up and running everywhere.....hilarious! She is full of energy that is why I liked having help around for the holidays now we are back to the entertaining her all day! When we got back to good old Missouri it was freezing cold and so we bundle Addy up and off we went. She loved the childrens museum...her favorite thing were the balls, she loves to throw them. Addy loves to get in our closet and wear our shoes. In the pic above she had found not only my shoes but my hat as well, I think she will like playing dress up! Addy doesn't want me at the computer anymore so off I go for another day but we had lots of fun and hope the cold will go away soon. We are getting sick of inside play!

Addys 1st ponytail and babydoll

Addy has been loving the bathtub lately! It is so funny she just wants to get up on that ledge and sit there. While she was occupied I decided to put her hair in a ponytail. It was really tricky actually because it is so curly it won't go back very easily. Oh and she definitely did not want to let go of the apple! We have been looking for a babydoll for her and while at our one of many trips to Costco we found this set which had a stroller, highchair and bassinet for this baby. It was perfect for her and a really good price so we snatched it up and let her have it even though its a christmas present. She doesn't know the difference! She has loved playing with it especially if you look in the picture she doesn't care which way she puts the baby in the stroller as long as its in there! And lastly she loves to been in just her diaper so we love the last pic with B and her cute belly!

Welcome to Missouri

We just got our family pics done. It was a lot of fun, we went to the old historic route 66 bridge on the Missouri-Illinois border. We took this one by the missouri sign for fun but we really do call it home now. We have been here for 3 months now and have loved it! There is so much to do and 65 degree weather right now isn't half bad. Addy is full of energy and learning everyday. She is so funny, Brad and I laugh all day at her. She can fold her arms during the prayer and she jumps on the count of 3 and then laughs at herself. The other day she had a big diaper and I told B it was his turn so he said,"Addy go get a diaper." of course he was kidding because he was being lazy but 30 seconds later Addy came out of her room with a diaper and gave it to dad. So funny she is too smart! Brad is starting finals and will be done on the 16th and then we are headed to Utah and Washington for Christmas. Can't wait to see all of you!

Halloween Ladybug

Halloween was so much fun, Grandma Sue and Papi were in town! Addy was in her costume all day long and is growing each day! She loves to jump and feed herself with the spoon, it is so funny because she is already wanting to do things on her own. She is also folding her arms when we say our prayers! while Brads parents were here we went shopping and ate lots of food. It was fun to show them around and have them experience the trailer park. We are loving Chesterfield but missing family and friends, always keep in touch! love you all!

Grandma Bobbi came to Chesterfield!

We had so much fun with Grandma Bobbi! Brad and I actually got to go on a couple of dates all alone so thanks mom:) We went to the zoo and it was a little cold but still fun to see Addys reaction to the animals. We went shopping pretty much everyday because it was crappy weather but as soon as the sun came out we were at the zoo! Grandma was a trooper to sleep on the air mattress all week but she was fine. It was just great to have someone else here with me during the day to go and do fun things! WE miss you Grandma, love you!Mwaaa-kisses:)

the Trailer Life

I just have to share our story. So the other day Brad and I were smelling this funky smell and we kinda just went about our everyday duties and forgot about it but then by the next day it was BAD! Brad came home for lunch and I said I think its got to be something dead in the oven. He said, " The oven?" and I said, " Yeah that is where the smell is coming from !" So, Brad took the oven out and started to unscrew it. Now this is an old, old oven so you can look down the sides and see the insulation. Well.... I was back in the bathroom and I hear ,"yep there is a tail!" I thought you have got to be kidding me! There was a dead mouse in our oven! It had crawled up from the bottom and was behind the switches where you turn the burners on. It was so sick because he had tried to chew the wires and they shocked him and he died! So we decided to get rid of the whole oven and get a new one! There was mouse poop behind it and it was just sick! I guess the mouse just wanted to welcome us into the trailer park.... oh the trailer life is so much fun :)
