A smart little girl.

Addyson has been saying so much. Sentences to be exact. She can say words that come out of our mouths. (No, we don't have potty mouths!) She has three best friends, Hailee. (which she doesn't see much anymore since we changed sitters) Pressley Daniels (Josh's boss' daughter) and Sadie (my boss' daughter). She loves daycare, and never wants to leave. She gave Pressley a big hug before we left yesterday. She calls her baby. It's cute.

We taught Addyson that she is two. She'll be two in three months.

Us: Addyson how old are you?
Ads: TWOOO! as she puts two fingers up, which are in the shape of a "L" ha.
Us. YAY.

She gets so excited. Josh actually taught her that.

This Saturday she gets to spend the day with Grammie Ginger.

I dont know who would be crazy to not be a part of this little girls life as much as they can. She is so smart, funny, and the cutest girl around.

Addyson's daycare

Addyson has recently started going to an in-home daycare close to my work. She loves going there, more than I thought. My boss' daughter goes, as well as his son, and Josh's boss take his daughter there too. Our daycare provider is amazing, she keeps Addyson clean, keeps her stuff together, and has all these other kids to watch too.

Recently, Jolene, Our daycare provider, was in a car accident with her husband, and younger son. They were on their way to a basketball game for her son in Kamiah, Idaho. They were passing a logging truck ( I hate logging trucks, in Idaho they are everywhere! ) and they lost control over their Dodge Ram truck and went into some tree. She has a cracked sternum, he has a broken foot, had surgery on it just the other day, and her little boy has a concussion and a big bump on his head. Prayers have been flowing their way. We pray they have a speedy recovery. They want people to be aware of what can go on with Dodge trucks, (vehicles) , something known as the "death wobble." Maybe we should be concern with our Dodge pick up?

A move, again!

We're moving soon, again. It might be 30 minutes from our families but thats 30 minutes closer to our jobs. I am excited to be closer and not have to wake up at 330 every morning. Addyson will love it too. We haven't found a house/apartment yet, but we're trying to get one with in the next week - month. 2012, please bring us stability!

We're having a....

..... new niece!

Josh's sister and her baby's daddy, I'm assuming they are finally boyfriend and girlfriend, are having a girl. I'm excited to see a new member enter our family and for Addyson to have a girl cousin, even though she will always love her cousin Justin. Congrats guys!

Diet Update

Well,

I DID IT!


I made my goal. In just over five weeks. I lost 5lbs a week, but I did have a few days where I didn't lose anything. I am in a size 4. I can wear my littler shirts now. I feel good about myself.

20lbs lighter!

I am back to wear I was almost when I graduated.

I am very nervous to gain weight back. But I am trying hard to to over eat, eat healthier, watch what I put in my mouth. I still think I want sweets, but once I take a bite, I get sick.

I'm very happy, and hope I can continue losing weight, The HCG drops did wonders for me, I thought I wasn't ever going to lose 20lbs.

Goodbye, Magnum. Hello, Veloster!

This year we decided it was time to say goodbye to the Dodge Magnum and get something with better gas milage, more us, and something NEW!

After weeks of looking, we finally found our car. It's smaller. cooler, if thats a word. and just cute!

A 2012 Hyundai Veloster. Silver. 23 miles.

When ever it needs detailed we take it in and they do it for us.

It has three doors. two on one side. one on the drivers side. I wanted to kind of go away from hatch backs, but here we are, still with one.

We are sad to see the magnum be sold to another, but happy it gave us so many memories. We will miss you. But we LOVE our new car!

Addyson's 20 month drs. (18mo)

Addyson went to the doctors last week to get her well child check up and to get her shots. Addyson came out of there with an ear infection, she walks on her feet, which could mean just toddler walk or cerebral palsy, which they say it usually is more common in premature babies, we don't know, its just the Dr. being concern. One of the major concerns she had for Addyson was on of her eyes goes cross when she is focused on an object. She told us she isn't an eye doctor, but she thinks we should take Addyson there to make sure we know whats going on, we don't want that eye to stop developing. So we are waiting for our insurances cards and we're making that appointment next. Addyson got burned from our propane stove a week before her doctors appointment, it was healing fine, but the medicine for her ear infection is suppose to help with the burn as well. So far, it looks great, and I hope her ears are in good shape as well.

Addyson's stats:

Weight 23 lbs. percentile: 26%
Height 32 1/2 inches percentile: 50%
Head: um, I forgot but she's also in the 50 percentile for that.

But, with all that said, Addyson is learning so much, she says so many words, she knows whats what, I wish I could list them all, but that would take me a little while. She sure loves her blanky!
