Where has the time gone?

I can't believe Addie is 9 Months old. Where has the time gone? It seems like yesterday I was getting ready to deliver our little girl. She is really getting big, she is crawling so fast and pulling herself up on everything. Yesterday she walked along with her little stroller for a few steps and I about started to cry. I don't know if I want her to be able to walk, she is my little baby and I am sad she isn't staying that way for long.

 We call her the human vacuum, because everything is going into her mouth. I am thankful the boys are trying to be extra careful to make sure their small toys are picked up off the floor. (That just means they leave them on the couch instead!) We also had to get her a high chair yesterday, she has about grown out of the bumbo! She likes to pick up little pieces of food and feed herself so we think she will like the high chair. 

Our Ads is a busy little thing, but we don't know what we would do without her! We love you Addie. 

Weekend Visitors

Over the long weekend we were lucky enough to have a few visitors! Josh and JC Raney and their friend Joe who are all going to BYU came and stayed with us. They are great guys and we had a lot of fun. The reason they came was because it is so much warmer here than in Provo. They actually wanted to go outside and tan! It was only 60 degrees and finally decided it wouldn't work! Thanks boys for staying with us, our kids love you! Good Times!! 

Bowling

A couple weekends ago we went bowling with the family. The kids had fun, and the adults too. 

Garrett wouldn't let us leave until he beat Ken (Gavin's Stepdad.) It took three games, but he did finally win. If you didn't know, our family is pretty competitive, me included!  

Note to Self....

DO NOT wash Preston's IPOD in the washing machine!!!!!

gIrLS NiGhT oUT!!

On Thursday, the girls got together, and it was a much needed break from our daily lives! Allie was in town so we decided to hang out. It was SO fun. I almost felt like I was 16 again.. just for a few hours! We had Cafe Rio, yummy dessert and played the game Quelf. Oh my HECK, the game is hilarious! I have played it 4 or 5 times and have laughed so hard I have cried every time.  

The greatest thing about the night was, we made some new memories together! Instead of just remembering the past, we have fun new memories that I won't ever forget! You girls are awesome, Thanks for a fun night, I love you all!! 

gOOd TImES!! 

New Year's Eve...Gunlock Style!

Only in Gunlock can you drive the Fire Engine up and down the main "drag" to welcome in the New Year! The kids loved it, they would have rode it for hours except, it was a bit chilly.  Thanks everyone for a great New Year's Eve! 

Jazz Game!

The day after Christmas we went to the Jazz Game with my Mom, Dad and the Lasswell Fam! 

The roads were a little snowy and our windshield wiper water froze in our lines, but other than that it was a fun little trip. 

We gave the best seats to Dad and Mom since they had never seen a game before. We sat on the top row in the plaza which wasn't a bad seat. Especially since in the middle of the first quarter the Jazz Bear came right up to the row in front of us and gave roses to a girl and then her boyfriend got down on one knee and proposed! The Jazz Bear was holding the ring while the guy was down proposing, then he (Jazz Bear) got down on his knee and proposed to me! I started laughing really hard, then looked at Gavin who was laughing, and the boys didn't know what to think! The bear then sprayed about two cans of silly string on the couple and all of us, which entertained Preston through a lot of the game. 

Gavin went and sat with Dad for the 4th quarter and Mom came up with me. She decided Preston doesn't really care about the Jazz like Landon and Gavin do. Addie was our angel she sat through the whole game only needing a bottle once. 
It was so cold and snowy outside that we bought her a pair of Jazz socks to go over her other pair. I didn't get a picture of them, but they were cute in their own way. 
Preston collected a bunch of the clapper balloons after the game. He insisted on bringing them all home. Luckily grandma did loose a few on the way up the stairs! ;o) 

On Saturday morning we got up and ate breakfast at the hotel with all the troops, then went and did a little shopping. We first had to go to the Apple store, I LOVE that store! It is probably a good thing there isn't one in town! Then I ran into Old Navy and got a few coats, since the whole trip we had all been freezing! Gavin placed a bet with my mom that I wouldn't have been able to find me a coat, but I would have found a bunch of clothes for Addie! They both lost because I did find me a coat (actually two) and Addie (and Preston) also got a coat! I can't help it, little girl clothes are a lot of fun to buy! :)  

Cabela's was our last stop before we headed home. We had lunch, Grandpa and Grandma bought the boys toy guns. (They are a lot nicer than the parents!) Then we were home before we knew it. The trip was short, but fun. Good Times!!
