Adison 16 months

026

She learned to put olives on her fingers!

027

She loves to bounce her ball and chase after it!

032

Yumm! Oreos!

035

She likes cottage cheese but doesn’t quite understand what a spoon is for.

046

She falls asleep in the funniest positions while being rocked to sleep. Her head was buries in my arm and her bum was in the air the other way. It’s a tender moment to hold her to sleep. I love it!

Home for Christmas

uploaded jan 24 2011 141

We had a great Christmas break. We spent a couple of days in Oklahoma with Grandpa and Grandma and Aunt Andrea! uploaded jan 24 2011 143

Here’s Uncle Dustin being…ten year old. Loluploaded jan 24 2011 146uploaded jan 24 2011 147

“Here we go into the Christmas tree so early Christmas morning!” This is everyone singing as we walked into the tree. Papa carried Adison in first since she was the youngest this year. Dustin was so excited too!

Adison was really ‘needy’ while we were away from home for the first time. She always wanted mommy. Here’s her playing with all her new toys…very overwhelmed. She got a ton! Which is great because we had not really bought her much toys ‘til this year.uploaded jan 24 2011 152uploaded jan 24 2011 153

Back to Idaho- I finally took Adison out to experience her first snow. I think this was before we left for Christmas but she had no idea what to expect. It was so fun! We don’t play in the snow much though. We get a lot up here and its more of an annoyance than a fun thing.

Christmas party at Daddy’s Work

uploaded jan 24 2011 127

This past fall TJ got a great internship opportunity for a company in Blackfoot, Idaho called Premier Technologies. He really liked it! He got tons of experience and even did some accounting saving the company hundreds of thousands of dollars by finding some misplaced money. Wow! Great job Honey! I loved the tour he gave me of his work. I could tell he really liked his job by the way he talked about everything he showed me. Neato!

His work had Santa visit and kids got real awesome presents. We were excited to see how Adison would be with Santa.

uploaded jan 24 2011 131

There were hundreds of presents lined up for kids to visit Santa

uploaded jan 24 2011 132

Adison did not think much of Santa but she did not cry either. Just sat there staring at him. So cute! She was just looking at his beard. Lol.

Daddy helped her open her present which was this really neat interactive book that made all kinds of noises and had flashing lights. She loves it!

uploaded jan 24 2011 136

As a thank you for saving the company money they gave TJ a gift card to the Olive Garden which we were so excited to use after seeing Santa. It was such a fun day!

Adison walking




Adi learned to walk around 12-13 months. This is one of her first real tries. She wouldn't walk to dad as much becusae she's such a mama's girl. Sorry daddy.

Halloween 2010

uploaded jan 24 2011 115

I just had to make this costume this year. I thought of it on my own and make-shifted it together. it was so cute on her!

uploaded jan 24 2011 116

Little Lady Bug! It’s just basic cheap fabric and I cut and sewed on the spots and stuffed it with plastic grocery bags to give it stuffing and make it sound crunchy and stuff. She had a blast playing with it and loved wearing it. The antenna's from the dollar store and black clothes were easy to come by. So cute! uploaded jan 24 2011 122

That’s our family!

uploaded jan 24 2011 125

Aunt Whitnee joined us for our ward party! Yeah! Adi loves Whitnee!

October 2010–Adison’s 1st birthday!

uploaded jan 24 2011 017

We made cupcakes colorful by dying the batter different colors. The icing is actually cool whip so she would not have too much sugar. They were so fun!

uploaded jan 24 2011 029

Adison loved eating the cool whip! I think she was not sure about the green cupcake or something because she ate the toppings off two cupcakes before she tried the cake part.uploaded jan 24 2011 045uploaded jan 24 2011 046

We filled her bed with balloons that night. Maybe not the best way to get the kid ready for bed but she had a blast. I have it on video but I need to figure out the best way to post the video. It’s so cute!

uploaded jan 24 2011 074

I put this Mickey Mouse in her bed for when she woke up the morning of her birthday. I have the best video of her waking up and finding Mickey and hugging him while lying in bed. It is so cute! but- it’s on my phone! Ugh! She loved her Mickey Mouse!
