Daniel and I met and started dating in July of 2005. After a good year, we were married Aug 5, 2006. We lived in the Love Shack Trailer in Egin, ID. Though a bit far from town, we enjoyed ourselves and gained great friendships. In April 2008, we moved a few miles to Hibbard, near Rexburg. In September Baby Addyson entered our family; truly blessing our lives, hearts, and home.

October was another great month! Though we have not reached the real picture day of Halloween...I thought I would just post a couple of pictures of our month. At the beginning of the month, Addy and I went with my friend, Carp, to Denver to see our friend, Ann. We had such a good time just hanging out and catching up. We were also able to go see the Ringling Circus as well as went to a Broadway, thanks to Ann's wonderful husband, Jared, who stayed home and watched the kids (BIG thanks, Jared!) We had an awesome night on the town, with dinner with a crowd of 11 crazy chicas and then going to Wicked. LOVED IT!!!! Definitely recommend it!

Other than that trip, our family has just been laying low, hiding from the flu season. The closest we came to being sick this month was when Addyson had Roseola for a week (Fevers for 3 days, then broke out in a bad rash) Other than that, ship shape!
She is walking all over the joint and always talking on the phone. She is so dang funny on the phone because it sounds like she is cussing someone out. She just goes and goes and goes. She also is helping out a lot at the house...or just tearing everything apart! Including the dishwasher!



Every day she just makes me laugh! She is just so funny to me! I have been curling her hair and I think it makes her look like a "big girl" Even though she still doesn't have any teeth! Anyway...Here are some photos of one day with her "big girl hair."









The best was after all this playing...She was exhausted by lunch time. It was so funny to watch her tucker out!


Out!

Definitely out!!

All utterly out as can be!!!
Last but not least, was the Annual Halloween party put on by our friends, Justin and Jennie. This year was all about simplicity and ease! We came in pj's and wild and crazy hair! We snacked on great food/treats, visited, caught up, and then lounged out, while watching the old show, Watcher in the Woods. It was kind of a silly show, but I still was all nervous watching it! I am such a wuss! Watching that show did take me back to Jr. High parties when we used to watch all these old scary shows! They were so scary. I kind of want to rent them now to see if I was just super wussy back then! I only got one photo from that night because we were late :( And that photo is a bit blurry. Then my battery died! But it was a great night!

Addy's ONE year checkup!!!

I am such a funny girl!


Shots, cries, tylenol, and more of the same 0% My baby is a shrimp! The doctor still reassures me that she is growing steadily and not to worry...Just start her up on the yucky whole milk. We also went and got some blood work done to complete her one year check up. I felt kind of bad about the shots and needle poke all in one day, so I only thought it was fair to get my flu shot done. There...Addy, your mom got poked too!!! Just not six times :) But here are her 1 year old rankings....SHRIMP!!!

Weight: 14 lbs...0%
Height: 27.8 in...12%

See, my big girl is so tiny! But I do love her! Here are some of the photos of her from my phone.

I found Addy on this latter, just thinking she was a big girl!
