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.

Addilyn is 11 months now!

- She is not afraid of people anymore

- She can pull herself up and stand for a while

- She is finally growing some hair, it is still as blonde as can be

- She has 12 teeth, including her 2 year molars

- She loves to play with her cousin Declan and follow him everywhere he goes

- She still does not sleep through the night

- She is a spitfire and Sheldon said last night that she is going to be just like our neice Lily who used to scream at the top of her lungs

- She is a Daddy's girl

- She loves to play peek-a-boo and be chased down the hall

- She is getting bigger everday

4th of July

Addilyn went crazy over the American flags. She thought that they were possibly the best toy ever. As you can see she would laugh and smile as she waved them in the air. So dang cute!

OH CANADA!

These last few weeks have been so stressful and they are about to get even more stressful. Sheldon and I are strongly considering moving back to Canada. I LOVE Canada and all of our family there but I am going to miss my family and being an American. I remeber the first time I went to Canada Sheldon told me that we would have to get on dog sleds at the border. Little did I know that the part of Canada he is from is just like the states. Im so excited that Sheldon is graduting and I am so proud. I cant wait to start our new life together and say Eh all the time.

SUMMER FUN

Wow what a crazy summer this has been. We go from freezing cold weather to hot weather all in about a week. I cant believe how fast Addilyn is growing. She crawls allover the place and eats anything that she can fit in her mouth. She is definatley keeping mom on her toes. I also cannot believe that Sheldon is graduating in 2 weeks. We are so excited that he is finally done with school.
