POTTY TIME!

Potty training time is finally here! I'm so proud of Addi! She is really doing a good job! I had to share these pictures because I think that her faces are SO SO FUNNY!

I love this little angel! She is so sweet and cute! :)

Life after Graduation!

So I have to apologize for not blogging at all lately! Things have been crazy. I graudated in June, and I start my full-time accounting position in January at a CPA firm in Irvine (the same one I did my internship at). I am very excited. Until then, Addi and I are just hanging out at home. We've had a few difficult times lately. I'm not sure how much I want to talk about that on my blog, but basically I'm trying to find a little part-time job to save up some money to move out and have some spending money for Christmas. You wouldn't believe how hard it is to find a silly little job! Apparently no one wants to hire an accountant to do a $10 an hour job! LOL! We just keep praying I'll find something soon! In the mean time, we've gone on a couple vacations- one to Utah for Dave's wedding and we made it to Idaho just in time for Tara to have her baby! That was really special to be there for her! It was fun to catch up with old friends, although we did have some issues while we were there so I have to apologize to those of you who I didn't see or spend much time with! You'll have to come visit us some time soon! Our house is always open for visitors!

Hopefully I'll find more time to keep my blog updated and keep in touch with everyone!

Disneyland!

Yesterday, for my step-dad's birthday, we went to Disneyland and California Adventure! It was SO FUN! I can't wait to go back. It was Addi's first time and my first time back in ten years! I can't believe how many new things they have and how ABSOLUTELY FUN it was! Addi was SO GOOD: no whining, crying, she waited in lines and rode every ride she could, even the Matahorn! I was really proud of her! We're definitely going back SOON SOON SOON!!!

Monster's Inc Ride: Addi's kind of scared of this movie, but she loved the ride!

On the boat for It's a Small World (and yes, it's still absolutely annoying!)

Pixie Hollow: We got there a little late and Tink and her friends had already left for the day :(

The Buzz Lightyear Ride: Addi loved it!

Addi was SO EXCITED to see Belle! She just kept dancing around and saying how she was her friend! It was so so cute!

Whole Lot of Catching Up To Do!!!!

Hey Everyone! We are still alive and YES we even still have a blog! LOL! Things have been a little bit crazy but I just wanted to give a quick update and let you know that there are many new blogs coming SOON! We have had a crazy couple of months: lots of visitors, vacations and I graduated from college! Addi is 2 1/2 now! WOW! Time flys by! Here are a few pictures to tide everyone over! More soon- I PROMISE!!!

Park Days!

Addi is in love with a park by our house. It had two big playgrounds and a duck pond. She wants to go almost every day. It's so fun! She's getting so big and I love to watch her play! I think that we are the ONLY people that feed the ducks though because every time they see us they jump out of the water and come over for some food!

Easter Sunday

Easter was so much fun this year! My friend Annie was in town and came up and spent the day with us. We went to church and then we had a small easter egg hunt outside! Addi got lots of great stuff and of course had fun eating all her candy! Sorry this post is so SUPER late! I need to be a little better about blogging now that I'm not working! LOL!

Flasher: Problem or not???

So I can't decide if this is cute or a BIG PROBLEM! Lately Addi has decided that she is an official FLASHER! (if my blog wasn't private I wouldn't post this...but it's so dang funny!) Every night after her bath she like to run around the house and flash people before she gets ready for bed! ha ha! OH NO!!!! I'm thinking ALL GIRL BOARDING SCHOOL!!!!

Happy Easter to All Our Friends and Family!

Hey Everyone! Sorry about the lag in postings! I've been so busy with my internship, school and Addi! We have a lot going on but we found some time tonight to decorate Easter Eggs. Addi had a blast...as you can see! I love having a two-year-old! She is amazing! It's like a mini-version of myself as a best friend, so needless to say we have a great time!

Yes, it's that's warm here! I love that I can totally dress her for summer in April!

Stirring in the coloring!Dying the eggs! Addi made a MESS! At one point she splashed food coloring on my face!

I love this little angel!

Our finished product! Not too shabby for a 2 year old! lol!

We hope you all have a wonderful Easter with your family and friends!

My internship ends next Wednesday so I should be able to get back into the swing of things and start blogging much more frequently!

We love you all!

Private again!

Hey Everyone! I've decided to go private again, indefinitely because of some recent events. I want to be able to share my feelings and what's going on in my life on my blog without everyone in the world having access!
Please give me your e-mail address if you didn't give it to me the last time, so that I don't miss anyone this time!
I'll be posting new pictures soon! Stay tuned! :)

Happy Late Valentine's Day

Hey Everyone! I guess that I am a little late wishing everyone a Happy Valentine's Day! We are doing really good! I am working at a CPA firm in Irivne and Addi is doing really well in her preschool. I promise after tax season my blog will pick back up! Hope you all had a Happy "LOVE" day! We love you!

Happy Birthday Aunt Katie!

My sister is turning 20 tomorrow so we went out to dinner last night to celebrate! We went to Lucille's, which may be the best "down home" cooking in the world, which would also explain the TWO hour wait! I know for most people being stuck at a beautiful mall for two hours is not a problem- but most people aren't Addi! Katie- you're lucky we love you enough to stay for you! Anyway- we had a great time and we found some fun things to entertain us! :)

Pictures by Christina

My good friend Christina was sweet enough to go to Newport Beach to take pictures of Addi for her second birthday. I wanted to take advantage of the beach since it is definitely one of Addi's favorite places to be.

These pictures are amazing. Addi is so adorable and Christina you did an amazing job! I love them so much!

Somebody looks like her daddy! :)

Addi's Second Birthday

Quinn came down to celebrate Addi's second birthday. We had so much fun while he was here! We spent a lot of timing hanging out at home and going to the local parks! We also spent most nights watching Shrek since that is officially Addi's favorite movie! (Thank goodness there are three of them!) We had a little birthday party for her on Saturday and went to the Santa Ana Zoo and then went home for presents and cake! We always love it when dad comes to visit!

Our day at the zoo!

Addi's birthday party! She loved the balloons! It was so funny to watch her bounce around on him! She got way too spoiled! In fact half way through she actually didn't want to open anymore presents!

We had such a good weekend. Thanks to my family for hanging out and to Quinn for coming to visit! It was the perfect way to spend the weekend before I started my new job!
