Christmas 2011

We had a quiet Christmas this year.  Just our little family and some Christmas magic.  We had a fun dinner on Christmas eve with "fancy" plates and a roast!



 My cute people!

Santa made a visit to our house...he was good to us this year!

He did like all of the cookies that we left for him...and he drank all his milk.

Logan was SO excited about the wagon...we used it later that day!  It was all he wanted with the exception of Cars 2 Lego's!!

He was so so so excited about the Lego's...He said to me "mom, this is the one thing I always wanted, like the one I saw at Target"  Love him so much!

She was SO excited about her Belle...she is not super jazzed about her now, but she was very excited!

More cute faces!

Love her!

All of my people playing with the Lego's...so much fun!

She was not sure what to do with all of the paper...she was so cute to watch opening her gifts.

Daddy put together her baby carriage!  She was not really sure what to do with it!

Logan wanted to show her what to do with it, he was all kids of help!!

November and Thanksgiving

We had all kinds of fun things happen in November...we had a Polk County event Family Week and they had a bounce house and fun things for the kids to do.  We were also able to go to Mississippi for Thanksgiving. 

 My sweet little baby, 7 months old...so sweet!

Logan and Samuel played in the bounce house...I would be leaving out a fun detail if I did not say that I totally got in the bounce house with the boys.  It was so fun to get in there and to see how much fun they had!

Logan and Addison were playing with his trains and train mat.  She loves her big brother so much...and he is so sweet with her when she wants to play with him which is all the time!  I was reminded of the night that we brought her home and he wanted to play with her...so they did a puzzle :)

Love my little man!

He looks so big!  I love him so much!

When we went to Missisiippi, the kids did great!  It was so fun to have most of the family home!  It has been a while sence we have all been together like that!  Addison was a hit with everyone...even the kids!

I love this little face!  She is so much fun, and has so much personality!

Logan and Addison just chatting!

More sweetness!!

LOVE!

Addison 9 months

Addison turned 9 months on January 6th.  I can not believe that she has gotten so big!  I am so proud of her and so happy she is healthy and growing!



Her 9 month stats:
18 lbs 10 oz (49%)
18 in head circumference
28 1/2 inches long (90%)

She does not look like a sting bean to me but that is what the pediatrician said when we went for her check up.  So we are starting to push more table foods.

She has been crawling for several months
She is pulling herself up on EVERYTHING
She is cruising around things and Bob and I have made bets on when she will walk.  I think it will be before she is 10 months old.
She LOVES to talk
She can say Ma-ma and Ba-ba
She can wave "hi" and "bye-bye"
She LOVES Logan
Logan loves to pick things up for her when she is in her high chair and drops things.  She will drop it and then look at Logan and start "chatting" and looking at the floor...like, "um hello, I dropped it, are you going to pick it up"
She is very independent and determined
We love having her around our house and can not imagine our lives with out this sweet little face!

Utah Trip

In October my cute cousin got married and I was able to take my little people out there to go to the wedding.  Logan loves his Mimi and Papi so much...

They did so well on the flights, I could not even believe it.  We had a layover each way and they were amazing. 

Logan LOVED the snow and hicking with his Papi!

I don't think she could be any cutter?  Love that face!

I am telling you, they never left eachother's side!!  They were so much fun to watch!

I love this picture.  I am so glad that we got to go out there and see both the wedding and my sweet parents.  I am always amazed at the kind of love parent have for their children and I feel very blessed that mine are amazing!!

Sweet little cheeks!
