We are ALIVE and CRAZY!

Yes, I know I have not posted in some time but things have been a little busy for us the last little while! We FINALLY got our basement finished and that is a huge relief! And I absolutely Love it! I mostly love not having to stay up until midnight or later working on it! So just when I thought I was gonna start getting sleep again Addy had to get sick!! And then Kevyn got sick and then Addy got sick again and then yes of course I got it as well! So trying to keep up with all the holiday craziness and life has not been the easiest with having all of us sick. Luckily it is the week of Christmas and we are all doing better! I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Addy's new thing is to help me do the dishes and play in the water. ( I let her do it once after my sister was telling me her little girl loved to do that.) And now she has to help me every time! Last night she also gave herself a bath while helping me!

She loves to go outside and watch Kevyn play in the snow. She won't touch it, she just likes watching Daddy!

We took her to a Jazz game with us and she did great! She loved watching the game and cheering along with the crowd!

Trying on make up!

Last Saturday I was at work like usual and Kevyn was home with Addy. When I got home Kevyn showed me these pictures. I had no clue what was on her face! What happened was Addy went into the bathroom and was playing in her little cupboard that she is allowed to, but then she found mommy's make up. She decided she wanted to ware mascara also! Some how she got the lid off and started applying! At least she knew it went somewhere on the face, right?!

Happy Anniversary!!

You're my WORLD my LIFE my EVERYTHING

"We cannot really LOVE anybody with whom we never LAUGH."

I want to thank Kevyn for 5 AMAZING years! Kevyn is such a WONDERFUL husband, freind, and most of all an amazing father to Addy! Kevyn, I LOVE you so much and can't imagine my life with out you!! Thanks for all you do! You are WONDERFUL! And thank you Mom and Kyle for watching Addy so we could get away for the weekend!

Happy Halloween!!

Last weekend my sister had a Halloween party! We had tons of fun and the kids loved it! Trying to get Addy ready for it was not so much fun! She through a fit the whole time trying to put her costume on. Once we got it on she loved it! And then I tried putting her hair up cute like a princess and she was not going for that, as you can tell since her hair is down!

Thanks Melissa for a great party!

Carving "PumPums"

A few nights ago we carved a pumpkin with Addy, or has she says carving pumpums! She didn't know what to think at first but once she saw all the gooey stuff inside she was more interested! She loved taking the seeds out putting them on the paper and then putting them back in the pumpkin. We finally got the garbage can and then she put them in that. Afterwards we lit a candle in the pumpkin, turned out all the lights and watched Halloween cartoons. It was a fun way to spend time together and Addy loved it!!

Pretty, pretty toes!

This is the first time I have painted Addy's toes and she loved it!! Every time she sees them now she points to them and has to show everyone. She is very proud of them!

Growing up to fast!!

I can't believe how fast kids grow up! It makes me sad to think that Addy really isn't a baby anymore. She is a little girl who thinks she is much older than she is. A little while ago Kevyn got Addy her very own potty! She thinks it is the neatest thing. One day I was changing her diaper and of course she was having a fit, she did not want her diaper back on. I was on the phone so I decided to just let her run around for a bit. She runs to the bathroom and starts pounding on the door. I let her in she sits down on her potty and she actually went! I was so surprised! So was she cause the toilet sarted to play music, I was so proud her. Later that night I was in the kitchen and she was playing in her room. She starts screaming, I look up to see her carrying her toilet into the kitchen. She sets it down , lays down and puts her legs up in the air for me to take her pants off. It was the cutest thing in the world! Her knew love is purses. Anything that looks like it has handles she thinks is a purse. She will put her purse over her shoulder go and give Kevyn a kiss and then try to go outside. It makes me laugh every time!!

My little lady

My parents just got a really nice camera so I decided to try it out on my LITTLE LADY!

Peach Days to cooking and some in between

Me and my sister took the kids up to Grandma and Grandpa's for Peach Days. We had so much fun! We got the kids faces PAINTED. Addy was a little scared! She would not move and she was on the verge of tears. But then she loved seeing the pictures of herself afterwards.

At the parade! The kids had lots of fun and got way to much CANDY!!!

We also celebrated Nick and Camryn's BIRTHDAY'S.

While us girls were having fun at Peach Days our hubby's were back at my house tileing our bathroom. They did a GREAT job!! Thanks Dana for all your help!

Addy know how to feed herself, and this was her first time eating SPAGHETTI. I don't know how much she actually got in her mouth, if any for that matter. So we got her in the tub to clean her up and of course she CRIED and CRIED when we actually got her wet.

I had to get some pictures of this. I thought it was way to CUTE! Addy loves to pretend that she is cooking and she always has to help me cook dinner. So I decided to let her help me make COOKIES. She even has a cute little apron that one of my clients made for her. She had so much FUN!

Payson Lakes

Last weekend we went camping to Payson Lakes for Kevyns birthday. It was so beautiful up there !! We had such a great time . Addy loved finding bugs and loved playing in the dirt!! It's sad to say though, that this was probably our last trip for the summer!

Crazy Life!

Yes, I finally got new pictures!! Life has just been none stop the last month! We really haven't even been home. And the sad thing is , is the next couple of months are going to be even worse! We have been doing a few fun things though. It is Kevyn's birthday on Friday and we are going camping so last weekend we had a little get together to celebrate his birthday and his graduation! YES, he finally graduated, I am thrilled!! Way to go Sweetie!!!We have been to the pool a few times( mostly Addy and not me . I am a little jealous that my 1year old has a better tan than I do!) And we have been dealing with a lot of sickness, again!! One exciting thing is we are having our basement sheet rocked on Monday, HOORAY!!Happy 27th Sweetie!! And happy Graduation!! We love!!

I am posting this picture because we were not very happy with how this cake turned out! My mother-in-law order this cake from Dairy Queen, which they have always done a great job, but as you can tell this job was not so great!! They didn't spell have the words right so my mother- in-law tried fitting the missing letters in. And when she got it, it was half melted and had slid all over the place. So anyways if you by a cake from Dairy Queen make sure that a cake decorator will be making your cake!

Addy and her usual silliness!!

Here we are at the pool with my sisters and their kids. It was lots of fun! Addy didn't like the water at first but after about 20 min. she was junping off the sides. She loved it!
Yes, I know the 24th was a while ago but I'm a little slow, what can I say! We watched the fireworks with Chris and Darci. Jarron and Cobey were so excited to see them and then they feel asleep before we even got there and slept through all the fireworks.

Happy late 4th of July

We had a pretty fun 4th of July. We just hung out with my family. We had a BBQ at my sister's house and then just watched the fireworks. I know, real exciting! It was just nice to have a few days off with Kevyn and just relax! We hope you all had a great 4th !We got Addy this pool thinking she would love it, and she won't have anything to do with it. Even when I got in it with her. What do you do?!

We decided to let Addy try eating corn on the cob all by herself and she loved it! She knawed on that thing most of the night.
The night before we took her to the fair. She loved the merry-go-round! We couldn't get her off of it. We then tried the rollercoaster she did not like that at all. She stuffed her face in Kevyn's shirt and held on for dear life!
Addy didn't know what to think of the fireworks. They were a little to loud and bright for her I think. She had me cover her eyes most of the time.

Island Park

This was our annual family trip to Island Park. This year was a bit different than most . We mostly hung out in the cabin because pretty much everyone got sick and was throwing up YUCK!! And of course it all started with my daughter! We did do a few fun things, we floated the river and went to Big Springs and feed the fish. But mostly we watched lots of movies and cleaned up throw up!!The first day we were there all the girls went shopping in West Yellowstone. Addy loved these bears! They were in almost every store, and she had to give all of them a hug and a kiss.It was pretty funny!
This was really one of the only activities we were able to do (since everyone was sick). We floated down Box Canyon River in my dad's drift boat. It was so pretty!
Just sitting by the camp and roasting marshmallows...DELICIOUS!!
This is how we spent most of our trip, just hanging out in the cabin!

Way to go Kyle

I know I'm a little late on posting this, better late then never, right?! But I had to give a little shout out to my baby brother, Kyle. I can't believe he has graduated. He would kill me for calling him "baby brother", but I still think of him as that. We are so proud of you, Kyle,and all that you have accomplished. We love you!
Yes this is a random picture of Addy, but I thought it was so cute! I had to show her off in her new sunglasses and cute little hat! What a babe!!

A camping we will go...

We went camping over Memorial weekend and what an adventure it was! We headed up to Yearn's Resovoir Friday afternoon and we had about a 2 hour drive. We finally got up there and were so excited and then noticed that there were a motor home and a trailer stuck in the mud trying to get up where we needed to be. the mud was awful. Trucks and trailers were sliding everywhere. So we didn't even chance it. So back down the mountain we go in hopes we will find some where else to go. We stop at the Palisades campground while our husbands went to see if there was anywhere to go. While they are gone our car window breaks and will not roll up. So the boys get back & I tell Kevyn the window is broke , he says he will fix it later. So we end up being able to buy a spot from a family at the Palisades. We get set up just in time for the rain to come pouring down.While me & Darci are in the trailer our husbands are out in the rain trying to get a fire going on our "little grill" so we can have dinner. Then I remember, we have not fixed our window yet. The car was soaked!! So the boys just thru a tarp over it and fixed it in the morning. Saturday was a pretty good day. It didn't rain to much but it was freezing! W e played at the park, went fishing and melted the road while we cooked dutch oven, it was the best dinner I have had!! That night we were getting kids ready for bed . I stood up on the bed to open the cupboard to get a diaper. The doors are really hard to get open, I couldn't get it to open. So I pulled real hard and smacked myself right in the nose. It hurt so bad I really thought I broke it (i didn't). So it 's about 11:00pm everyone is ready for bed and Addy starts screaming like she never has before. I had no idea what was going on. Darci comes to the rescue and says she is so constipated. So the boys run 20 miles into town to get her some medicine and get back about 12:00 and we were able to get Addy asleep. Then Sunday morning we get up it is beautiful we get all packed up and are ready to pull out and we have a flat tire on the trailer and we have no spare.We got that fixed and then our window broke again. We got that fixed & made it home safely. Even though things were crazy we still had fun and are ready to go again! I forgot to add in the part , when we first got in the trailer and opened the fridge a bottle of soy sauce had broke and went everywhere it stunk like soy sauce bad!The kids waiting so patiently for their dads to get back from trying to find us a camping spot.
So we could not have a camp fire, which sucked because all of our meals we brought needed a fire. So we compromised. We roasted hot dogs on the little grill and did dutch oven on the road, which we melted, oops!
Jarron and Addy hanging out on their little chairs in the freezing cold. Jarron was so cute with Addy. And she wanted to do everything her big cousins were doing.
Here we are all piled in the trailer having our hot chocolate. It was FREEZING! Then we all piled on to the table bed and watched a movie. It was lots of fun.
Addy loved playing at the park! She sat in the wood chips for about an hour & just played, it was great!
Fishing didn't last to long, mostly cause the weather was not to great. It would be nice and sunny for maybe 10, 15 min. and then it would rain again. Poor Jarron got his hook stuck in his finger. And he got his first fish( really his mom)he was jumping up & down he was so excited and then he saw the blood and started crying and screaming. He didn't like that he hurt the fish.
Kevyn and Chris took the kids over to see the ducks. They were coming right up to them, so they came and got some bread to feed them. The kids thought it was so neat! Kevyn would give Addy some bread to give to the ducks but she wanted it just for herself. She popped that bread in her mouth just as fast as Kevyn gave it to her. That's my girl!!
