Chris' two favorite hobbies

1. Chris loves to buy tools at Home depot and work on our basement. He even worked on it on his birthday. I cant complain though because he is very productive when he's down there and I'm really excited to have it done.2. Chris bought a game called "rock band" that goes with x-box. You can have a guitar player, drummer, and singer. Its actually fun to play sometimes. Chris makes sure that he gets his daily practice in. As you can see he converted Addy's room into the game room this week. I dont know how I feel about that, but Addysin loves to watch. Look at her in her crib. Too bad you cant see her dancing. I usually dont support video games because they are a HUGE waste of time but at least he is kind of developing some musical talent.

Chris & Bryan's birthday party

Bryan (my brother) came to visit from Washington for 8 days. He got here on his birthday (2/18) and left on tuesday this week. Chris' birthday was 2/20 so we had a party for both of them. We had some friends over and had dessert. It was really fun.

This is so funny. Chris and I both wore those same shirts last year on his birthday! Funny huh? And NO we didn't plan to all wear cream that day.

Here's Bryan and Addysin. Birthday boys!
Addysin inside our TV console. She loves it!
The delicious desserts. (I think I'll make cookies today)

14 weeks!




I guess I'm showing now. Chris thought I was blowing out, which I'm not. I'm definitly popping out sooner with this pregnancy than the first.

Last pregnancy at 13 weeks>


Here's our baby almost 2 weeks ago! How cute!!!

Addy getting her groove on

Addysin is such a funny girl to watch. She just cracks me up all day long. She decided she loves music, especially commercials and the part on TV shows at the beginning where the actors are shown and sometimes dance. I had to show everyone this. Watch her hands at the end, its hillarious. Well too bad she is so obsessed with our cheap little video camera (that is actually just a digital camera for picture taking which explains the poor qaulity). If she sees me recording her then that is the end of it and she HAS to hold the camera. So that is why this is being recorded from behind... I was being sneeky.

Here is another funny video of her. She is SOOO cute when she does this. Somehow she has already picked up on her motherly instincts. I couldn't figure out where she learned to rock and pat her "babies" untill today at church when she was very intently watching a mom with her baby. She has never liked to be rocked but I think she is figuring out that that is what mommys do and sometimes she will let me rock her. -P.S. She doesn't bite real babies.

Happy Valentines Day!

I Love Holidays! Especially ones that are places in the dead of winter to liven things up. Here's Addysin seconds after a really good nap. I love her. Chris & I are planning to go to the temple tonight after we have dinner here. Jessica is babysitting- thanks Jess.
We hope you have a happy day with your loved ones.
We Love You!!!
Isn't she the cutest little sweetheart?

All about our babies (because we're not exciting to read about)

A couple of weeks ago I started feeling a bit better... at least 60% better. Its been so great. I can do housework, cook, and take care of Addysin without making myself sick. Hopefully I will feel even better in the future because I still have bad days. I am 13 weeks along today. I got an ultrasound to determine the due date and it is August 17... 2 days after my birthday. I will put a picture on of our tiny baby soon. We are going to find out the gender in 7 weeks, and I'm very excited. I was really excited to get this ultrasound to see how many babies are insie of me. There's just one- whew! Any woman who has twins (or more) is very strong and I respect a lot. This pregnancy has been really different than the first. Does that mean its a boy? We'll see.

Addysin is developing so much. Her new favorite word is "uh-oh!" She LOVES to drop everything from her high chair and shopping cart just so she can say it. She has finally learned how to pull herself up on things. You're probably shocked (considering she is 14 months), but she is developing slow and steady. She loves to play in her crib instead of taking naps or going to bed. She sits, kneels, or stands and makes cute sounds that I cant get mad at. She still loves TV, maybe even more now, but I found a lot of educational stuff on "Comcast- On Demand" for kids so its working out really well for both of us. She is finally starting to like being snuggled. We love it.
