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.

Seeing Spots

My kid just can't catch a break. Addison has random spots all over her. I hope its not the Chicken Pox, but who knows. I didn't know until the other day that babies can still get the chicken pox even though the have been vaccinated. We are going to take her into the doctor, I'll let you know what we find out.

Life is good....for now

Well, last Thursday night Addison's fever finally broke and then she started to break out in a rash. It was gone after 24 hours, so it was Roseola. She also cut her first tooth while she was sick (poor thing). Because she has a tooth now she sticks her tongue out all the time. I think she's trying to feel it. She looks so funny-I'll have to post some pictures of it. Addison cracks me up, she started dancing. Turn on any music or just tell her to "dance, dance, dance" and she starts to bounce and wiggles her whole body. She has also figured out how to push herself out of your lap and slide down your legs, then once at the bottom claps and says "yeah", and wants everyone to do the same. As soon as she's had enough praise she holds her arms out to be picked up again and the process starts all over. What a geek. She is so close to being a "crawler" she'll go a few feet and then start rolling, I think cause she can roll faster.

Well Kathy and Andrew left this morning. Sad. I hope they get there without any trouble. I'm a little bit jealous, I think it would be so cool to move across the country and have to start all over.
Well that's all for now.
