Seven Months

There is no 29th day this month so I'm not sure if Izze is seven months or not :) She has turned into a spastic little baby. Izze loves to kick her legs and roll all over the place. She seems to have endless energy just like her sister, oh how will I ever survive?! Izze watches Addie's every move and cracks up laughing anytime Addie pays attention to her which only eggs Addie on. We love our little girls!

Jazz Fanatics

Andrew's one stipulation when moving to Salt Lake was he could go to Jazz games anytime he so desired. I agreed thinking it was no big deal...boy was I wrong!!! I don't know how many he has gone to so far, but he takes Addie and so I have no complaints. However he felt compelled to adorn Addie and himself in Jazz jerseys, hmmm as I am not a Jazz fan this is where I just shake my head and roll my eyes. Addie loves going to the games because she can yell and not get into trouble. She has tried to yell a few times at home and when I tell her to tone it down, she replies "but I am at the Jazz game". She also goes around the house singing "we will rock you". The other night Andrew took our nephews, Mason and Camden. They were there early enough that Addie was on the pregame show, and all of them were on the post game show on TV. Normally I make Addie take a nap during the day if I know they are going to a game, but she was just so excited for her cousins to be going that she couldn't settle down so she fell asleep on the way home.

Bittersweet

Last weekend we took a trip down to St. George and discovered we are jinxed. It was snowing the day we moved, it has snowed or been dreary since we moved, and it was raining when we went back to St. George. We had fun visiting friends and going to Maddie's birthday party. Addie has been so excited to go to it since we moved. It has been used as a bribery tool for two months now, I'm not sure what I will use now. Izze is doing better at sitting up, but still is tipsy at times. She loves to play with Addie's toys and prefers them to her own, of course.Apparently I need to learn how to use my camera, because all of my pictures from the party are blurry :(Since we were in the neighborhood we decided to visit our house. Yes we miss it and would love to still be there, but have decided we must live in the now and remember we'll always have number 223.Addie loves holding Izze and was so proud of herself for getting Izze in her lap all by herself.It snowed on the way home from Cedar City to past Beaver, to distract myself I took random pictures. We were so glad we could go visit and can't wait to go again!

Funny Faces

Addie's latest trick is to pull funny faces for the camera. I ask her to smile which in her mind means do anything but smile...she does have some pretty good crazy faces. We have been having fun playing with Olivia. The other day we were at the mall and Addie was begging for money for the car. I am cheap and don't give up my quarters for just anything unless it involves a Diet Coke :) Andrew will always give her quarters for the toys so the following pictures illustrate Addie begging and Addie being denied her money.We were at Andrew's parents' house the other night and Addie was trying to blow up a balloon. The pictures say it all:Just in case you were wondering Izze is still around, this is how we dress her to go in the basement!

Surprise Visit

Addie was so excited that Maddie could come visit her last week for a few hours. They had so much fun playing and Addie was so sad to see her leave. Addie asks almost daily if we can go on the fast road to see friend Maddie. We are excited to see her very soon :) (Addie is not really mad I told her to make a face and that is what I ended up with.)On another note this is how Izze likes to put herself to sleep, sometimes I check on her and she is covered and kicking her legs to try to get the blanket off her face-what a crazy girl.
