Born in '08



This past week my mom and I decided to announce Addison's birth in the Post Registers annual "Born in '08" section due out this march. We immediately began setting up mini photo shoots so we would have lots of cute pictures to choose from. Here are a few my favorites!







Silly 'ol papa

This video was taken over the Christmas holiday and I thought I should post it even though none of the kids are mine. Dad is loving being a grandpa and I love watching him get to know and play with all of the little kids. This video reminds me of when I was little and dad would bench-press me and all of the family would count how many he could do.


-I love how Bryan wants to play but doesn't know where to jump into the craziness! It reminds me of double-dutch!

playing catch up (AGAIN)

Sorry I haven't posted in so long. We have us a crazy couple of months and i think i might be starting to catch my breath. We were able to make it to Idaho just in time to open Christmas presents on Christmas day. We left Wyoming on Christmas Eve about 6:00 pm and drove for about 3 hours before we stopped in a hotel for the night. I still am regretting the fact that Addies first Christmas Eve was spent in a La Quinta Inn in Belgrade, MT. After a continental breakfast we hit the rode on Chhristmas morning, the roads were TERRIBLE! My poor old car was baha-ing through like a foot of snow, the three hour drive took us about five hours. As soon as we arrived at my parents house we learned that the house was infested with the flu bug. I think the family knew that if they had bothered mentioning that all the kids were sick while we were travelling that I would have turned the car around and headed for home. Luckily Josh was the only one who caught it, Addie had the bug a week earlier:( I had forgotten how much I love Idaho and the snow had perfect timing this year and showed up BEFORE Christmas. We were blessed with lots of great Christmas presents from everybody and I think Addison is enjoying her fun toys.

I think Addie was a little tuckered out from playing with the new toys

This is her new favorite thing to chew on ( i guess the toys were a little over-rated)

This is the dress that I was blessed in over 20 years ago. We were hoping that Addison could wear it for her blessing but she might outgrow it before we have the chance to bless her. We thought we better take some pictures of her in it before she is too big.
