Addilyn is 15 months old and getting cuter everyday!

On this day 23 years ago...

I am sad to say that me and Addilyn dont look much alike! She looks just like her daddy.

So I had my ultrasound yesterday morning and since Sheldon was working I had them put the gender picture in an envelope to open later that night. I was positive it was going to be a boy and Sheldon was sure it was a girl. I was so suprised to find that it is a girl. I thought it would be a boy because I have felt totally diffrent this time around. We decided before we opened it that we really didnt care as long as it is a healthy baby. I am sooooooooo excited to be a mommy to two little girls. It will be nice to not have to buy much since we have all Addilyn's stuff. Anyways we still dont have any names picked out, but we are so happy!

Ive been a bad blogger

Wow is it just me or has time flew that last few months? Thanksgiving and Christmas are fast approching. Addilyn is 13 months old and changing so much everyday.

Here are some of her favorites:

Words to say-
Dog
Mama
Dada
Baba
Whats this
OH

Things to do-
Go to the zoo
Ride her pony
Climb the stairs
Pat my belly when I ask wheres the baby
BATH (hours if I let her)
Point out things when we are riding in the car (everthing is a dog)
Climb on to the love sac and sit till mommy laughs at her
Play in her toy bin
Watch out the window for daddy
Play with her friends at Church
Help with the Laundry
Sing Ba-Ba-Black-Sheep
Read books

Oh I just love being a mom. She is so fun and is getting so smart. I feel like the things that I have been working on with her are starting to pay off. She is getting really good at signing too. She can sign milk, hungry, and mommy. I had some recommendation from people to teach her some basic sign language and I am so happy with it because she can tell me what she wants instead of getting fustrated. I would totally reccomend it to everyone.

A Place To Call Home

So I have not posted in forever! We have been so busy moving and trying to get somewhat settled in our new place. We are loving life right now and feel like we have be so blessed the last couple of months. Sheldon's job is going great and he is really picking the area up fast. Addilyn is getting to be such a big girl and loves to sing songs and read books. My belly is growing very fast and I am already 15 weeks. We find out in four weeks what we are having and we are really excited.

Birthday and a Secret

We celebrated Addilyn's first birthday last Sunday even though her birthday is today. Here are some adorable pictures that Sherelle took of her eating her cake.



We are also excited to announce that we are going to have another baby. Yep its true Addilyn is going to be a big sister. I am due on April 15, 2009. The kids will be exactly 18 months apart. I have been a little more sick with this baby then the last but I am starting to feel better now. We will find out in 2 months what we are having.

Moving back to Idaho???

Thats right the rumor are true we are moving back home to Idaho. Sheldon has a wonderful job offer in Boise and he starts in a week. Scary you ask? Yes maybe a little considering we have no family in Boise, but we are so excited to move on with life after college. I know that our family in Canada really wanted us to stay there but we really think this is the right place for us right now. Dont worry guys we will come visit lots, you know I cant live without poutine for too long. So we have so much to do in the next week. Like move, unpack, celebrate Addilyn's birthday and get situated before Sheldon flys out for a week. Craziness here we come!!!!!!!!!!!

Life in Canada

Sheldon graduated from BYU-I in July with his bachelors degree. We are so proud of him!

This is the BEST unhealthy food out there. It is called POUTINE and you have not lived until you tried it. It is one of the most popular dishes in canada. You can get it at Costco, Burger King, KFC, Dairy Queen and just about any other place in Canada. Canadians love to dip their fries in gravy, in fact when you order fries at a restraunt they give you gravy not ketchup. So they take fries drench them in gravy and mozzarella cheese curds. OHHHHHHHHH it sooooooooooo good.
