Cheerleading

Funny story about Craig and the little cheerleader. Craig is adamant about one thing...well, maybe a few more, but he has voiced his opinion loud and clear that he does not want Addy to be a cheerleader. He even had a serious talk to my mom about not encouraging Addy to want to be a cheerleader. So, for Addy's birthday I bought her a cheerleading outfit and wrapped it up and gave it to Addy from Craig (I told Craig I got a present from him that would be perfect, he totally bought it). When Addy opened up the gift, that I reiterated was from dad, she was so excited and promplty exclaimed, "thank you Daddy!!!" She loved it. Craig had a good sense of humor and admited that it was a good joke.

Addy is 4!!!!

Addy's birthday was exciting and fun. A beautiful evening in St. George with great friends and family. Here are the pics I promised.

Southern Utah Fun

We have spent the last 5 weeks in Southern Utah enjoying family, the mountains, events, hikes, parties, and more. Wow, I should have kept on top of everything, I can't even remember all we've done.
Addy's birthday was a joy and a success. We spent the day shopping and preparing for her party that night. We had her party at the splash pad in Santa Clara. She had many cousins, friends, grandparents, aunts, and uncles attend. She got lots of great presents! Thanks everyone!! I will include pics from the party later.
We're here in Cedar City now, and I've been trying to avoid the cats, as Addy is constantly seeking them out. Yes, Grandma Barb has cats, as well as Grandma Dayna. We've only had a few traumatic experiences with the cats. When we first got here, Addy decided to give Grandma Dayna's kitten's a bath in the ditch. She brought one in shivering and sopping wet, we asked her if she bathed the other kittens to which she replied, "just one." It took us a long time to find that kitten, and thought the worst had happened, when we found him also sopping and shivering in the corner of the garage. If you ask Addy now how kitty's are bathed, she will tell you, "the mom cat will just lick them to get them clean."
Oh my, so much to tell. One of our most exciting events was hiking the Subway at Zion last weekend. We took Addy and wondered if we would regret that decision, but we're so glad we took her. She had a blast. She's very adventurous. She repeled, held a lizard and a snake, a frog, and a tadpole. She even let Dallin attach the lizard to her ear (missed that moment with the camera). It was an unforgettable day! We hiked with my dad, Dallin and many of the Cope's. (Bob, Austin, Laura, Abbie, Ally, and Avery).

Addy's first day of Preschool!

Star Struck

We've had a great time here in St. George. We've already been to Salt Lake twice for various events, it's been crazy, but fun. Craig loves his rotation, Dr. Cain is 6'9" and his only prerequisite is that his students know how to wakeboard.
So, we went to SLC last weekend to see Brian Regan. It was SO MUCH FUN!! He is hilarious. So we were looking for a place to sit at the Thanksgiving Point ampitheater--we found a perfect spot, right toward the front, with almost enough space for all of us (Dennis and Anita Adams, Matt and Amber Green, and Craig & I). So we thought we'd offer this guy some mini Twix to move over just slightly. He said he was sorry, but the spot was for VIP's only. As we were chatting, I looked over and saw Donny Osmond...wow....isn't he handsome? Then I realized that the guy we had just asked to move, looked a lot like Donny. Come to find out (rather embarrassingly), he was Jimmy Osmond, Donny's brother. Lets just say we humbled those guys. They were way nice though and were even willing to let us sit with them in VIP, but our jealous husbands found us seating elsewhere.
