Firsts and Lasts

2011 has been full of a lot of NEW adventures. To start things off just two days after the new year had begun Addison decided to show everyone her skills and rolled over.  We were all having family home evening together at my sister's and then she just rolled right over.  She is a champ at it now.  We have been tyring to get her to crawl.  Instead she prefers to roll on to her back and scoot around by arching her back and scooting in the direction of her head.

Donny started his LAST semester of law school!  So now preparation for life after school has begun. He will be taking the bar at the end of July so after graduation it's nothing but studying for him.  The warm weather has come early this year and we are LOVING it. We decided during Donny spring break that we would enjoy the weather as much as possible. We went to a spring training game to see the Giants play the White Sox.

Then we took Addison to the pool to go swimming for the first time. It was in the 90's but the water was still a little chilly so we didn't venture too far in.  Kind of funny we were talking about how if we were in Utah we would be in the water loving it.  However, two years of Arizona has made us a bunch of pansies.  I won't get in the water unless it feels like bath water.

We went and played at the park and this little girl loves to swing and go down the slide.  We also went to a park down here called hole in the rock and just as you would guess there is a big rock with a hole in it.

 Another first are Addison's two front teeth!  No she didn't eat a grapefruit for the first time, just something we let her play with instead of giving her a bath.  It gives her a fresh clean smell, tons easier than bathing. :)

First real food!  Since this picture she has turned in to quite the pro at keeping the food in the mouth.  She loves food!  She has had rice cereal, oatmeal, sweet potatoes, peas, carrots, apple sauce, strawberries, cheesecake, just making sure your paying attention.  It seems that we can't get the spoon reloaded with food fast enough before she is begging for more.  As you can see she is one "healthy" little girl.  Don't you just want to squeeze her!

First of many yet to be BYU shirt.  Addison was a big supporter of the Cougars through the tournament.  Her bracket wasn't the best since she had Utah State taking it all (flipping a coin to see who advances never works out).

Giving Thanks

This Thanksgiving...and when I say this I mean 2010! We got to spend it with Donny's family. This was the first time in a while that everyone was able to get together. It's so fun to see the similar personalities between everyone. 

The whole family

All the brothers and sisters

Showing their true colors

All the grandkids, except for Cole.  He's on his mission...and the other baby that is on it's way.  No that is not an announcement from us.

LOVE this picture with Grandma and Grandpa!

Finally, this is a video of Addison doing a few of the tricks she does with her mouth.

More Christmas

Ok I know Christmas was almost 3 months ago and I'm just posting pictures from it...but these are some cute ones I couldn't leave out.  Don't worry about my next post being from Thanksgiving, eventually I'll catch up.

 Addison at the ward Christmas party, again she loves Santa...this girl knows who's important.

 The three youngest grand kids on my side.  Poor little Lincoln didn't know what to do at this point, girls already pushing him around. 

 My mom made hats for all the grandkids, she is our little "Who Baby"

All but two of the grandkids!  Not a dull minute and so much fun!
