Yesterday she wanted me to lay by her for her nap. As we're laying there she is staring at me and says, "Mom, I love your eyebrows, they're perfect." !!!!! That is the cutest, sweetest thing she has ever come up with.
She said, "Look mom, its a flower!"
Addysin's favorite food is toast with butter cut into 4 squares. She doesn't eat the crust. As she finishes each piece, she usually puts them together back to back like they're spooning. This morning she had a new idea.
Caiden began walking really great at 15 months. It took him about a month to lead up to that day (on video), but now he's speed walking at 15 1/2 months. I'm so happy. He loves it. He's had a permanent bruise on his forhead for almost 3 weeks from face planting, but he's definitly getting a bit better with not going head first into everything.
Jump!
"This is my frig..."
Lately, she thinks this is a cute face.
So sweet.
The company that Chris owns is called five diamond protection. Its an alarm sales company. There are 2 other owners as well. After the summer is completed and everyone is paid, they put on a banquet to honor those that finished a hard summer. This years banquet was themed "Monte Carlo". There was dinner, Frappe (fancy name for sprite and raspberry sherbet in a punch bowl, which was a HUGE hit) casino tables, a cookie cake, and dessert. Also awards were given out, then there was a silent auction for tons of stuff, and it ended with the raffle for a TV.
I got to decorate, which I love doing.
A mix of class and vegas. p.s. I dont think Vegas is classy.

The night went really well.
Pillow talk.
Sarah invited us to go to Jump On It. I dont know if they have this everyday or just the day we went, but it was a parent child time. Each child was $3 and parents free. It was fun. There were a gazzilion trampolines and blow up toys. Like usual, the first half hour Addysin was scared of everything but after she loosened up, she had a lot of fun. Caiden just sat there. I really liked it and would definitly do it again.

First carousel ride for both of them.
The day after Halloween, November 1st, Chris put up all the Christmas decorations! I REALLY wanted to wait another week at least but he could not wait. So here he is stringing popcorn, so dedicated. And then he never put it on the tree because Caiden will just make a big mess out of it. But thank you for the effort babe!
Making a mess, typical.
Addysin was soooo ecstatic when she woke up from her nap and the Christmas tree was up. She kept saying "where's the star?" She's been watching Mickey's twice upon a Christmas and Pooh's super slueth movie since December of last year. The whole year they have been her favorites. I knew she would be excited about Christmas this year. Finally old enough. And I brain washed her with movies.
The funniest part is we had our neighbors over on Halloween and the next day they come back and BAM! Christmas! All they could say was "wow!"
Thank you Chris for being a Holiday Fanatic, I love it!

On Friday, it snowed for the first time. Didn't stick. I let my kids out for a minute without their warm clothes. I'm not a bad mom. If you zoom in you can see the snow flakes. 
We went up to Park City to stay at the same resort we stayed at for our anniversary. Marriot Mountainside. We shared a condo with our friends Tyler and McKendra. We had a super fun time, but it was a short trip. If only my parents lived down the road and we could have 24/7 babysitters. The kids were fun to bring along though. Addysin always loves staying in new places.
For dinner, the boys made us the best steak I have ever had. Better than Flemmings. Not kidding! We went hot tubbing, watched a movie, and ate ice cream untill 1:00 am. On Saturday morning, we packed up. The kids LOVED riding on the cart. Caiden was so cute. We went to the outlet mall, ate some Taco bell, got home around 4.
Chris insisted on painting a blackeye on himself and this is the only picture I took of him! His creativeness was coming out and he wanted to put makeup on Addysin too.
That didn't work out so I took over.
We went trick-or-treating to a few neighbors, then over to Wade and Donnells. Jack and Traci were there too. They have an amazing new, huge house. We hung out there for a bit.
Their house was THE place for trick-or-treating. There was a constant flow. Caiden helped Jack hand out the candy. Jack was saying the funniest things to the kids. He is not shy at all.
Caiden is really growing up.
That night we had some friends/neighbors over for games. It wasn't "Halloweeny" at all, but I did make cookies so it was almost a party. Dareth and Jesse came over after a costume party. Jesse is from "land of the Lost".
We had a fun week.
