Addi is crawling!

Okay so she's been crawling for quite awhile now, since February 15th, but I'm so far behind I decided to through this on here. She is now cruising though, poor Justin can't ever get away. She wants to play with his toys, follow him in the bathroom, & anywhere else that he might be. It's fun though. Addi is 10 months old, has 4 almost 5 teeth, she can say mama, and baba, she can sign more, puppy, no and yes, and she is waving. She is also pulling herself up and starting to walk along the furniture now too! I can't believe how fast she is growing up, We all love her sooo much and all feel so Blessed to have her in our lives!

Finally a Christmas post!!!!

Before...

We all get to open a gift on Chrismas Eve (PJ's), so here are the kids in their Christmas pj's.

Justin writing a letter to Santa.

This Christmas was a lot of fun! Justin is at such a good stage for Christmas, He is starting to see the magic in Christmas with Santa and his reindeer, but we are also trying to teach him the true meaning of Christmas. He had a ball opening gifts, I swear he was through opening a gift before I could even see him tear into it, but I love his face in all of these pictures! Priceless!!

Justin in a hat that Unci sent him (a little too small, my kids have big noggins :) ), with his Christmas pj's.

Water Horse movie which came with a water horse stuffed animal that he now has to sleep with every night, along with his teddy, Clifford the big red dog, and his blanket. Thanks uncle Dylan for the movie!

I love his face, he couldn't even look at me long enough for me to catch a picture!

I know it's a little blurry, but again I just love his face!

I was excited for to see Addi this year because she is old enough to sit up and can tear into things, she stuck it out for quite a while, but got a little bored after a bit. Notice that in all of these pictures she is eating the paper or package. :0)

...After

We all had a good Christmas and got spoiled rotten... and not just the kids Josh and I did too. My parents got us a wii, some games for it and an extra remote. We were so excited!! I should also mention that we all get 4 stockings a piece!!! Which is fine with me since stockings is my favorite part! Thank you everyone for our gifts!

Idaho Trip

I'm a little behind on posts, so here is a long one from when the kids & I went to Idaho in January. We got to visit for 2 weeks and had sooo much fun seeing family and friends, however by the end of 2 weeks I think we all started to get a little "Daddy sick". We got to go sledding, however I'm a little embarrassed to say that we only went twice. But we had fun anyways!

I Love this picture!

Our really good friends, the Landons, were able to come from Boise to see us and to do some sledding! We had a lot of fun with them and are sooo glad that they came to see us!


Justin & Layton

Papa & Addi

We were able to see my little brother for a couple of hours before he moved, it was so good to see him, but we missed having him there the rest of the time.

The Traughber cousins, Corbyn & Justin are quite the pair and they have soo much fun together... if you couldn't tell!

Addi loved listening to uncle Greg play his guitar!


We also got to go see a few of my High School friends. It was so fun to see them and to see all of our kids running around playing with eachother. Between the Five of us that were there, there were 9 kids. I love seeing them and I am soo glad that even after 8 years we are still friends!!


This is Cy and Addi. Cy is about 2 weeks older than Addi.

All of the kids together (except Amanda's Carter, he wasn't feeling like taking a picture :)).
