Addison 10 months old

I can't believe this little girl is almost one! Addie is a little ham. As you can see from here pictures this girl loves to smile. Her smile is so infectious that even when I want to be sad just one look at her and I can't help but be happy. Crawling is still in progress but we are moving and that's a good thing. When I say moving it backwards or getting up on all fours and then rocking but deciding its to much work and it would be easier to have someone else do the work for me. Addie loves to blow kisses and will still eat anything you put on front of her. Her little personality is starting to surface. For instance she is starting to shake her head no and when her dad and I were pretend fighting she screamed so loud that we both just stopped and stared at one another. Yes this little girl thinks I am special and she should since for some reason I still get up 3-5 times a night. Love my little girl, love being her mom and love that she is so in need of me=)

The start of Fall

 These pictures are  from the first snow fall this year!  It happened the first weekend this month and let me just say this little guy could not wait to go outside and play.  Jace was so excited the first thing he did was grab his coat, boots, and gloves and ran to the garage screaming hurry mom I want to go play.  I was trying to get my camera and capture this fun moment and when I walk outside I see my little guy just rolling around in the snow and screaming weeee.  It was like he had never seen snow before.  We had fun playing while little sister was asleep.  We stomped around, threw snowballs, and for some reason Jace kept eating the snow.  I know eating snow is no big deal when it is white but later that day we were in the parking lot and Jace picked up so dirty snow and put it in his mouth and said delicious.  Lets just say we had the we don't eat yellow snow talk.

 This past weekend we went to Rock Springs and hung out with cousins and decided to take everyone bowling.  This was a first for Jace and he loved every minute of it.   Since August we have been traveling back and forth from Cheyenne to Utah to see Dan.  Dan took a new Job in Spanish Fork which will bring us closer to family.  As for now we are waiting for our house to sell we have had one offer but they don't want to close until January.  Boo I know but our prayers are being answered so no complaints here. These past few months I have really come to appreciate the blessings of having a companion.  I have been a single parent for a while now and have been at times overwhelmed by the task of being mom on top of everything else.  I have learned however that I can do things such as keep up a yard, blow out sprinklers, work and travel 8 hours with two kids!!  The Lord is mindful of us and we are  living proof.
