Happy Thanksgiving!

I've seen everyones post on a daily basis of everything their thankful for...so I thought I would just say ditto to everything else everyone else said and add 3 more things to my list.

My first addition to everyone elses list- My husband, James.I truly think of myself as the luckiest girl on the earth. James is the most amazing husband that any girl could ask for. He always is putting my (and the girls) needs in front of his own. He is so patient, understanding, and thoughtful. He is such a hard worker also. He goes to work early, and stays late to provide a living for the girls and I, so I can be a stay at home mom. On top of work, he is a faithful priesthood holder who fulfills his calling the fullest. I am so lucky that I met James 8 years ago...and that he is still putting up with me!

Next- I am thankful for Addison and Brianne.

It is funny how you think your life is complete and perfect after you get married, and then Heavenly Father blesses you with two little girls. I am so grateful for these little rays of sunshine. Addison is the best big sister in the world and has the best personality. She constantly has James and I laughing, and adores being around Brianne. She has turned into such a big helper also, and she is very thoughtful.

Brianne is the best baby we could have ever asked for. She's happy and content all the time. She sleeps through the night, and she rolls over:) ha ha. Ok, there's not much that she does just yet. She is such a sweet little girl and she melts my heart every time she smiles at me.

The third addition- I'm grateful for my little family...

I am so grateful for my family, and the love that we all have for each other. I'm grateful that we will be together for all eternity.

Happy Thanksgiving!

October Festivities!

October has just flown by...and it has been a super busy month! We have had a fun time celebrating Halloween...carving pumpkins, trunk-or-treat at church, and trick-or-treating! This is the first year that Addy has really understood the whole concept of trick-or-treating and boy, did she LOVE it! The thought of going up to someone and them giving you a handful of candy just made her the happiest little girl ever! This is totally picture overload...but I couldn't narrow it down. Enjoy!

Addy was a big helper with the pumpkin this year...atleast the first 5 minutes James was working on it.
She thought it would be a good idea to taste the insides.

Poor James had to finish the pumpkin by himself- his little helper gets easily distracted:)

This was just a random day. Addison has decided that she hates cameras and pictures. When you pull the camera out, she goes running and screaming and will cover her face so you can not get a good picture. Here's a candid shot of her- she is getting to be such a big girl!

I cannot believe how big Brianne is getting. She is three months old now and is full of surprises. It is so fun watching her do and see new things. She now rolls over, makes fun spit bubbles, and coos like crazy. It is funny that she seems to talk more when Addy is asleep. I think it's because Addy talks so much she already can't get a word in. ha ha.

Addy is FINALLY at the stage where she will go into her room and play by herself. Consequently, she likes to take everything off the shelves...example- all the books on the floor.

Brianne at the trunk-or-treat at church. She was our little butterfly.

She was more interested in the kids playing then taking pictures.

This picture just cracks me up! This is when we were out trick-or-treating. Needless to say...she wasn't very happy about it! ha ha

Addy trick-or-treating.

The only picture I could get of our little lady bug in her costume.

Addy at the trunk-or-treat. She visited Gaga and Husie (as she likes to call Justin.) several times...she realized she got lots of candy at their car. ha ha

To say Addy loves her Gaga is the understatement of the year. Obsessed is more like it. She cries when we don't get to see Gaga, she cries when we have to leave Gaga...and she won't leave her side when we are around her. Good thing her Gaga loves her. Addy got first dibs on Gaga's candy.

October was such a fun month with our two little bugs. James and I are learning to handle life with a two year old...which most days seems to be a challenge. Addison keeps us on our toys...but she also keeps us laughing. Being parents of two is easier then I thought it would. We feel blessed to be able to experience all the fun things that Addy and Bri are doing and learning. Being a parent is amazing. Being the holidays...we look forward to even more fun festivities.
