So Helpless

I'm sitting here at work and my mother-in-law just called and told me Kevin's brother and his wife (Josh & Lisa) just lost their baby boy in the seventh month of her pregnancy. I feel so helpless and don't know what to do. I know when you go through something like this there is nothing anyone can do to make you feel any better. It was their first baby together. I wish I would some how help her feel better. If they want I offered to stop by at the hospital and be there for her. We aren't really close to them and so I feel kind of ackward. I am so worried about her, she is going through labor and going to deliver the baby. May God bless them.

Addison's 1st Birthday Party

On Sunday at Reid Merrill Park in Eagle we celebrated Addi's 1st birthday with our family and friends! We had so much fun, we BBQ, played in the water and ate cake and open gifts! Thank you so much to all of you who made the time to make it and come celebrate with us! It really meant a lot to me to have you there and to celebrate with us. My friend Lori took all these great pics for me! Didn't she do a great job or what? I am such a picture freak, seriously can't get enough. I'm getting ready to work on a photo wall and get them all printed and hung up, can't wait. Addi and I are going to McCall for the weekend and I'm so excited to get away, have to do all my chores tonight though before I leave ugh! Yesterday I had my very last appointment with the specialist-yeah! So unless things change I just have to see my regular doc which is awesome, baby and I officially have a clean bill of health for now! I think we have decided on the name Hudson Scott. I really like a lot of others but Kevin is still really stuck on Hudson, the reason I don't like it is cause I don't want people to call him Hud for short (that's a little W-T!) We tried to switch Addi to whole milk but it gave her a diaper rash and diarrhea so we are going to let her get better and then try again. Other than that there's not much going on.

XOXO

Little Miss Attitude

These pics are from Addi's birthday party at Merrill Park on Sunday. I love them! Addison has more attitude than I think she knows what to do with. There is never any question if she is ticked. She makes this face all throughout the day to let you know she's not happy. It is just too funny! I love my Little Miss Attitude!

I Fixed It

Just wanted to say I finally fixed the links to blogs on the right side of my blog. So check out the gals I love!

I've Been Tagged

So I was tagged a whole month ago by two people and I'm finally doing it! So here you go Jesse & Nicole..

Being tagged means in the blog world that I need to fill out questions of some sort; I have to start out with 8 random facts/habits about myself.

1. I love being up in the mountains- it refreshes my soul and a large part of me wants to live in McCall.
2. I love finding new music and new artists, my music is an extension of all of the different parts of my personality.
3. I want to be more domestic and be a stay at home mom and craft, cook, and do all the crazy little things that are in my head.
4. I'm a wimp. Seriously..I don't do pain!
5. I have always wanted to be one of those chicks that works out and runs, not only for the vain physical reasons but for that release I think it would give me but I'm am a retarded string bean when it comes to coordination with my body.
6. I always worry that I don't tell people enough that I love them or that I am grateful to have them in my life. I seriously love people!
7. I want to be just like my big sister Amy. She is one of my heroes.
8. I am trying to pay more attention to the health of my soul and body and less to my ego.

Ok, so I’ve tagged Lori, Camille, Stacey, Amy, Kat S., Kat M. ( I don't know eight blogging people...)

THE RULES1) each player starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.2) people who are tagged need to write a post on their own blog (about their eight things) and post these rules.3) at the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.4) don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.

My Baby is One!!!

A baby will make love stronger, days shorter, nights longer, bankroll smaller, home happier, clothes shabbier, the past forgotten, and the future worth living for. Author Unknown


If one feels the need of something grand, something infinite, something that makes one feel aware of God, one need not go far to find it. I think that I see something deeper, more infinite, more eternal than the ocean in the expression of the eyes of a little baby when it wakes in the morning and coos or laughs because it sees the sun shining on its cradle. Vincent van Gogh


A little girl can be sweeter (and badder) oftener than anyone else in the world. She can jitter around, and stomp, and make funny noises that frazzle your nerves, yet just when you open your mouth she stands there demure with that special look in her eyes. A girl is Innocence playing in the mud, Beauty standing on its head, and Motherhood dragging a doll by the foot.
Alan Marshall Beck


The moment a child is born,the mother is also born.She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new. Rajneesh

Yesterday Addison turned 1! I can't believe my little girl is already a whole year, it has flown by. We had a nice day yesterday. I got to take the day off of work and be at home with Addison yesterday and Kevin got off early and was home by about 4:30. We had Mari and James over for a BBQ and opened presents and had cupcakes! We had a blast! Kevin BBQ yummy salmon and Addison was hilarious with her cupcakes! I have really cute pics and video I will post soon. I feel so blessed to be a mom and can't believe how my life has changed in the last year! In the meantime have a great day!

XOXO
