They grow up so fast

Addison is already nine months old. I just can't believe it. I swear every time I turn around she has gotten bigger. She's crawling all over the place and pulling herself up to things. She is starting to stand by herself but when she realizes that she is standing she panics and plops down on her bum. She's hysterical! Here are some funny photos I took of her the other day.
Addy Loves Elmo
Her First Tooth
This picture is for Kathy. We had to paint the cabinets in out new apartment, they look a ton better.

I'm very proud of us



As of yesterday, TJ and I are completely 100% DEBT FREE. Our cars are paid off, our credit accounts are closed. I don't mean to brag, I'm just very proud of us. I can't tell you what a relief it is not to have to pay those bills anymore. And from now on we will function on a cash only basis. I know it will probably be hard, but if we put our minds to it we will be able to do it. Also I read this really cool book about taking control of your finances and getting out of debt. I recommend it to anyone who is looking for a way out. "The Total Money Makeover" by Dave Ramsey. I know it sounds kinda hokey but it truly has the information needed to get out of debt. I know that it has changed the way I spend (which in no way was thrifty). I'm so excited to start my cash only budget. Its kinda one of those common sense books but as I was reading I kept thinking why haven't I know this and I should have thought of that. I still have a little more to read but this book has changed my life. I just hope that I can keep it this way.

Driving Lessons

This is Addy in her Winnie the Pooh Car, She loves it. She is "talking" the entire time, so turn on the sound. She's so funny, she loves being pushed around the house.

Addy Crawling and playing

This video is for Addy's Aunt Kathy, who is very far away in Florida. Its the very first time I have tried to post a video and I kinda threw it together. Its kinda jumpy and my parents house is in the middle of a remodel so If it looks like Addy is crawling through a construction zone, she pretty much is.

Sell House..........Check

Well we finally sold our house this week. Its been a pretty exciting and scary process. I just really glad we had a great agent to help us (Thanks Flint). We close on the 21st of August, and until then will be painting our new apartment, aka my parent's basement. This is going to be great for us. I will finally be able to stay at home with Addison and TJ will now be able to start school at LDS Business College. We won't be there for long but saving a little on rent is going to be a huge help.

Well, it wasn't the chicken pox, I'm still not quite sure what is was but all of Addison's spots are gone.
