Announcement...!!!




You all know what this is....an ultrasound of our new baby!!! This was taken when I was 10 weeks along. The due date is June 23rd, 2008. Isn't he/she so cute?
We are so excited. It feels like it's been a long time waiting, but we're so grateful to finally have the opportunity to have another baby.

Besides being nauseated most of the time, the pregnancy is going well. We are so happy:)

Thanksgiving

We had a wonderful thanksgiving break. We went to Utah and had a great time every day. We spent Thanksgiving day in St. George with the Mitchell's and Frei's. The day after Thanksgiving, we went up Cedar Mountain for the traditional "Day after Thanksgiving hunt for trees" with the Hunter/Hillyard family. We forgot Addy's socks, so we had to put mittens on her feet, and then her shoes. Her feet still got cold. Addy demanded a tree; "a four year old tree, because I'm four." Aubree and Addy decorated it as of course, a princess tree. Complete with her princesses and a tiara. The princess ornaments were given to her by her friend Sadie.

While in Cedar City, we had an unforgettable night of mafia with Hunter/Hillyard family. Checked out our new subdivision. Checked out our new mountain property lot, and saw Santa Claus at the Christmas festival. It was so eventful, and so much fun.

Addy with Papa Brent, Nana Dayna, Mckinley, Boston, and Nalea


Addy's Favorite Tree


(L to R) Boston, MacKinlee, Addy, and Nalea at the Tree festival.

We spent a couple more great days in St. George. Lisa cooked us a great meal before we left for Phoenix. While we were cleaning the meal up I whispered to Addy "ask Nana Lisa if she wants help cleaning up." She grudgingly went over to Lisa and asked "can I help with the dishes?" Lisa bent down so kindly, and said "Oh, do you want to help with the dishes?" Addy promptly added "No, I want to watch a movie," and without a hesitation, ran into the living room and plopped down on the couch.

Huntington Beach



While Aubree was at her meetings, Addy and I spent the day at the beach. We built sand castles, found treasures, chased seagulls, and of course played in the frigid water.

Trip to Disneyland



We took another trip to Disneyland... This time, Addy was old enough to ride most of the rides. She loved Soarin over California and Splash mountain. I looked at Addy's face just as we began to drop in the "briar patch" and she had the look of shear terror. As you can see, she loved it. The Tower of Terror was a little scary for her, but she'll appreciate it some day.
