CHRISTMAS 2010

We had a great Christmas at home. We spent the day opening presents, and making dinner and watching movies. The kids were spoiled and so were the parents.

Halloween 2010

This year included two days of playing....
Last night found us at Odessa's school dressing up and having fun at the carnival...and tongight will find us trick or treating with one of Odessa's friends then off to a volleyball game!

September update-

Its crazy to believe that September is over and that we are now in October! Time has really flown by.
We have had a busy month, with lots of school, volleyball and family.

We found out at the beginning of the month that we are going to have another boy...and I think we are planning on naming him Elijah Byran. He is growing just fine, and we are excited for January to come and he will finally be here!

We have had family come out almost every weekend this month...and they are still coming! We love having family in our home, and spending lots of time together...I can never get enough of our family.

We bought a new van last week too....I am now officially a van mom...I think that I will enjoy it despite my oppopsition to it at first.

Volleyball is going well for Adam. SUU is currently 8-8, which is great for them, and they are second in the Summit leauge confrence. We have had lots of fun going to the games and supporting the team.

Odessa is really enjoying school...its great to see her learn and have fun.....

Addison is doing great also...getting bigger every day~

Update

Odessa's first day of Kindergarter August 31, 2010

Keven and Sandy's wedding

It has been a few months since I have updated my blog.

We had a fairly busy summer. Adam worked most of the summer doing volleyball camps...the kids and I were able to go on a few with him. We visited family in Idaho Falls, and Salt Lake. We were able to see Keven and Sandy get married a "shot gun" wedding which was a bunch of fun.

Adam and I were also able to get away for our anniversary. We went to Bainbridge Island, WA....and enjoyed a great cottage, midnight kayaking and some amazing gardens.

Pregnancy is going well.....we find out on Tuesday what we are having! We are excited!

Odessa started school, and is loving kindergarten...her favorite part is riding the bus.

Addison is doing well, and is getting smarter and smarter every day. His vocabulary is pretty big, and he can say one of my favorite words...CHEESE!

Adam is busy with coaching the SUU volleyball team, with many days on the road! I wish we could go with him, because we miss him so much when he is gone! ...such is life though!

Goblin Valley

This weekend we went to Goblin Valley this last weekend, and enjoyed a short road trip.
Goblin Valley is in central Utah between Green River and Hanksville. Odessa loved running through the park and climbing on all the Goblins!!!

causing trouble and having fun!

Here are a few videos of Addison doing some of the things he likes best! Playing patty cake and getting into mischief!!! I love this little guy!

Happy Birthday Addison!

Addison was born one year ago today! I can not believe how fast time flies! It seems just like yesterday he was born! He is a huge part of our family, and I can't imagine a life without him now! We are so happy to have him with us! We celebrated with pizza, cake and balloons last Saturday!

BA-BYE

Addison has been copying sounds for a few months now, and it has been so cute. He has been able to copy mama, dada, and cute sounds he makes with his tongue. Last night he said his actual first word...Bye-Bye! We are very proud parents of our little guy.

BRA-HA, and SARAH

This last week the little girl (not so little now) from New York that I used to nanny came out to visit. She is all grown up and is a freshman in college now.

We spent a few days in Vegas.....saw a magic show, and went on the game show "Lets Make A Deal". We also spent a few days exploring Southern Utah....

The highlight of the trip...was Odessa wearing my bra...and singing..."I'm wearing a Bra, BRA-HA!"
