Get me to the church on time!...

MACKENZIE'S MARRIED! I'm so so so happy for her. You can tell that Taylor are so in love just by looking at them. Addison and I attended their sealing in the Salt Lake Temple yesterday. It was beautiful. I've never been inside that temple before and I was blown away by it's elegance and spirit. There is nothing in the world like a temple. It was glorious. We were both excited to share their day with them. and Alex was such a trooper to hold up while all the pictures were being taken. (it was a long process) This is going to be mainly a picture blog... sorry, but I hope you enjoy them.

May is here!

Well, things are going to be crazy for us this month. Let me explain.

1. Work: We are trying to find a new girl to work for us but because my boss is beyond impossibly strict on who he hires. It has been kinda nighmarish. There are only 3 of us and 1 of the girls quit. The other girl is going on vacation for a
   week so that mean I have to work 9+ hours a day with a 9 month old and still try and find someone to hire and train.



2. Big Show is coming up. Lots of practice. I kinda worry about the practices getting in the way of other things coming up.



3. May 10th is Addison's Birthday and he says he doesn't want anything. What a pooper. He loves Ruby River so that will definately be on the schedual. This is the first time in 3 years that he wasn't going to be doing military duties on his birthday. (Last year he was in Israel training.)



4. May 10th is also Jennifer Harris' baby shower and I can't make it anymore because I have to work because I'm the only one all call. So sad.



5. My cute sister-in-law is getting married at the end of the month and I don't think I can be happier for her. I just through her a bridal shower on the 3rd. It turned out pretty good, if I can say so myself. She's beyond sweet.

I just read over this and realized that it sounds like I'm complaining. I'm not trying to. Just saying that this month will be insanely busy. But, I can handle it. I've got my family and Heavenly Father. That is all I need.

Well, I'm going to end with some recent pictures of our family enjoying the new weather outside. YEAH! I'm so glad spring is here.

Our Home!

I decide to also post pictures of our home. Just for fun.

The Good, The Bad and the OWIE!

THE GOOD : Addison is so excited. We finally received our Federal Tax Refund and now he can get his toy for the year. I should explain. Addison and I decided that no matter what, each year we get a tax return, part of that should go to something fun. And since last year I got new couches... this year he gets a brand new laptop. I swear, he's like a little kid at Christmas. I'm really excited for him. (Don't worry, not ALL of it is going to the laptop.)
THE BAD : There is no bad. But... something had to go there in the title.
THE OWIE : I FELL DOWN and it hurt. I sound like a 90 year old woman with a hip problem. But, nope, just a 22 year old with icy steps. I had even put that ice melt stuff on them 2 hours before I fell but I happened to step in the one area where the ice didn't melt so down I went. Luckily, I was able to catch Alex and he didn't get hurt... but I did. These last two days have been spent at home with a wonderful little pill called a muscle relaxer. But, my pain is now almost all gone. So... no more owie. Hehe. I might have cracked my tailbone but it'll heal by itself. No need for an x-ray.

The Helmet Warrior!

A lot of people have asked me about Alex and the helmet that he wears. I think it's wonderful. I don't mind the questions. Ask away! But for those who don't want to ask, here is the story.

When Alex was born he only liked using one side of his head. No matter how I propped him or rotated him he would find one way to snuggle in his favorite position which led to a pretty major flat spot on his head. (I was way freaked out to leave him on his stomach for extreme periods or time. All the nurses and books warn against it.) Anyway, the helmet is to help correct his head so it's nice and symmetrical. He doesn't have a brain condition or anything. He's completely normal and healthy. This is just his mom helping him to fix his head so kids won't make fun of him later. It's only for 3-4 months. Anyway, I love his helmet. I like to think of him as a mini Juggernaut (from X-men) or a warrior from Nephite times. JK.

These pictures are some of my favorite. The first is of a 2 weeks ago. He loves this bouncer but it tired him out fast. What a great adventure. The 2nd picture was 3 days ago. I really think he might be a musician. (wishful thinking?) He loves sitting with his Grandma Jenne and playing on her piano. He plinks and bangs; then turns fully expecting applause for his wonderful composition. It's too cute. So, we bought him this little piano so he could have fun here at home too!

Hello All

Ok, I started a new blog for Addison and me because I can't get into our old blog that I started a year ago. I've tried and tried and tried and it just doesn't work. so sad. Anyway, I also wanted to get things together so I can have an online scapbook type thing. I'm excited. It'll be amazing. Anyway, here's hoping I can figure this thing out someday.
