Oh, how time flies!!

2009-2011?? Where did the time go?? Life is so busy that I have put blogging on the back burner until now. I havde made a goal in 2011 to start blogging again. I am going to give you a little look back at what has happened over the past year.

Change is coming.....

Oh goodness has it really been that long since I have updated!! Alot has changed in my little life over the past year or so. More to come so stay tuned.........

Little Artist.

Addison is turning into quite the little Picasso. She loves to do anything that involves being creative. She can even draw stick people, well her version of course.

This is Byron and I
I started her out with "Paint With Water" books but now she can use actual water color paint really well, washable of course. It is so wonderful, I can sit her down with some markers or paint and she will be content and quiet for sometimes more then an hour.


There are however the unfortunate mishaps when she forgets that she can only draw on paper.
Here she was practicing tracing her hands on the coffee table. She didn't even forget the nail polish.

And this is where she decided to give herself some body art while I was busy baking all morning.


For only being 2 1/2 I think her skills are amazing and also VERY convenient.

While I was busy being our family house keeper Addison decided to climb out the doggy door and play outside. Panic stricken I ran throughout the house looking for her and then noticed her happily playing out side in some dirt that Byron had just moved around. Deciding not to disturb the peace I left her out there to play. A little while later I heard the doggy door swing open some grunts and then the pitter patter of little feet coming around the corner and there she was COVERED in dirt. I am not sure how she managed to get that dirty but she did.
Seriously, the pictures don't do it justice.

Utah State Fair

What can I say every year we go, its exactly the same, and I leave saying I am never going again and yet some how I always end up going. I thought that Addison would love to see the animals but since we have our own mini farm she could of cared less. At least she got to ride a pony.

The Fourth

Fourth of July 2009


Centerville fourth of July parade is a fun activity we like to go to every year.

Melissa, Tyler and Zach were able to squeeze in our spot with us this year it is a very busy parade so space is limited but we made room for them and the kids had a great time.

After the parade we walked down to the park and got Addison a snow cone. She loved riding in the wagon.

Byron took Addison on a post parade ride on his moms scooter I could her her giggle all the way up and down the street.
We went to Tressa's house in Morgan that evening for a BBQ. We can see Morgan's fireworks from her front porch and her neighbor put on his own show with patriotic music and all.

Baby Emery loved the fireworks and would scream this funny little scream every time JD did the flower ones it was hilarious. I was not sure how Addison would take them but she loved it. We had a great Fourth of July.

Summer Pool Party at Grandma's

OK, so it wasn't much of a party and of course it got a little cold and rainy but the girls had a good time anyway.

Once the sprinkles of rain stopped they wanted to get in again and Byron didn't put a swim diaper on Addison so she got a little soggy. Its amazing how much water those things can hold we had to check the pool to see if there was any water left.

Thank goodness all the weight didn't hold her under the water.
