Just to Name a Few!

Those of you that know me well know that this is my favorite time of year! I love everything about the holidays, and I mean everything. I have already started watching my favorite Christmas movies. Here's a list of movies that I love and recommend. Merry Christmas everyone!

OH TWILIGHT!

So, I haven't felt this way about a movie since Mama Mia. I'm lame and have already seen Twilight twice (once with Dave and once with my mom). I have to say that it was even better the second time. What can I say....I'M IN LOVE! (Sorry Bryan & Es, don't agree with you on this one, but that's ok cause I love u guys anyway).I'm so glad that I'm not the only one. Most of my friends and family feel the same way! My sister-in-laws Kim and Kelli called (on three-way) the day after I saw it to talk about the movie and they were mad that I was going to see it twice before they even saw it once. I just wish we could have went together. I love my roomies and wish we could just hang out like the old days. Hint, Hint.....come and see me girls!!!! You look CUTE Kim, and leave it alone Kelli (sorry had to add those inside jokes). I have to admit that talking with the both of you together on the phone the other day makes me miss you guys tons! Kiss! Kiss! Anyway, back to the movie..... it was funny, intense, and unbelievable. My only complaint would be that it was to short. Because the 2 hrs went by way to fast. They needed to make it like 4 hrs long! I'm definitely planning on seeing it again in theatres because both Dave and my mom want to see it again. Oh happy day! Here are some of my favorite pictures from the movie!

A Fashion Statement!

Ok, so everyone that knows Addelyn knows about her fascination with shoes (especially mine). Well these past couple of weeks she has added a new one......WEARING DADDY'S CONSTRUCTION GLASSES! I love that she wants to be just like her dad. He's her hero! Anyway, I got some pictures of her wearing them this morning. I have to admit that she looks pretty funny!

Our Weekend Alone!

YES! YES! YES! That's what I said. My Mom was so kind to take Addelyn for the weekend so Dave and I could have sometime to ourselves. She's always so good about knowing when I'm totally stressed to the max and offered to take her. We had the best weekend! We ate at our favorite restaurants, went shopping, slept in, watched a movie, went on a hike, took a nap. It was like a fairy tale!!! Loved it! I don't think we stopped smiling the whole time! It was very much needed. Thanks so much Mom! You're the best!

Our Hike!

We were able to go on a hike this morning! I love hiking. I think it's a really good way to appreciate the great outdoors and clear your head.

It was so unbelievably beautiful.

This was more at the beginning of our hike.

This is when we finally reached our destination! I love this part of the hike. It's a great feeling. If anybody ever wants to meet up with us somewhere, sometime to go on a hike. Let us know! We'd love to go with you! We're always looking for new adventures!

Silly Silly Girl!

Addelyn at least once a week gets into the sink and tries to take a bath. She's so funny and I sometimes wonder where she gets all her craziness from (maybe Dave?). But I can tell you that Dave and I love every minute of it!

To a Wonferful Women!

So my wonderful sister-in-law Esther just did a blog post about Grandma Mary Lou (Dave's Grandmother) who passed away about a year and a half ago, so she inspired me to do the same. This is a picture of Addelyn and her a couple of months before she died. Adde is so fortunate to share a birthday with this amazing person. She was and still is loved for her never ending service to her family and everyone she came in contact with. I believe that she was the nicest person I have ever had in my life and I can only hope that she rubbed off on me at least a little. We miss her sweet smile, her wonderful cooking and the way she made time for everyone no matter how busy she was. She always made people feel important. We love her so much and can't wait until we can be with her again someday!

Happy 2nd Birthday Adde Mae!

Today our baby turns the big two! We can't believe how fast the time has gone! It seems like yesterday we brought her home from the hospital. We had a little birthday party for her yesterday and she was so excited all her friends were there. She got lots of presents but I think her favorite was the Ariel Bike Mommy and Daddy got her. She didn't want to get off of it. Thanks to everyone that came. We had a blast. Enjoy the pictures!

Happy Halloween!

We hope that everyone had a fun Halloween this year. Here are some picture from Halloween night and our ward Trunk or Treat. We bought the Seahawks Cheerleading outfit when we were in Washington this past summer. So Dave had to have her wear it at least one of the nights. Adde had so much fun treat or treating. By the end of the night she was going up to the houses and trying to open the door instead of knocking. It was cute!

Trunk or Treat!
