Bad Blogger

I'm the worst blogger ever. It's not that I haven't had time to blog it just doesn't cross my mind. Besides being a bad blogger there has been lots going on. I'll just have to start at the beginning and you'll have to bear with me. Things are going great as far as the pregnancy goes, he growing and it seems like I have forever left but its not really that long. Before you know it he'll be here. We are also having a hard time picking a name. Its down to two, please leave a comment and tell me which one you like best. I don't really care if you don't like either (it won't hurt my feelings) but I would like to know which one everyone likes best. Here they are..

Gabriel Noah

(we will call him Gabe)

OR

Cohen Hinckley

I Love them both and TJ likes them both so we are stuck. Everyday I ask Addy "What should we name your little brother? Gabe or Cohen?" Her answer changes all the time. Its never predictable. When I think she is going to say the name she's been saying for days, she changes her mind. I might just have to ask her the day he is born and if I hesitate with what she says then I'll know its supposed to be the other one.

Addy got her 1st cousin on my side of our family. Easton Andrew or Baby Eeesin as Addy says was born February 22nd. Its kinda neat to see her interact with him it makes me hope that she will be just as excited about her little brother. It hard to tell for sure cause we've haven't met Easton in the flesh, just via skype. But she loves to see him over the computer. The other day she played hide and seek with him. It was pretty funny. He also had a meltdown the other day and her face was hysterical, she couldn't decide what to think of all of his crying. It might be hard for a while but I know she'll catch on to the big sister thing.

And last but not least we bought a house. Its in Kaysville. We are really excited, we'll only be about 6 houses away from Christy. Its really nice, not brand new but only a few years old. Once we close this week I'll get some pictures to post. I'm a little nervous for Addison. She Loves living with her Nana and Poppy and I'm pretty sure she'll be lonesome for a while. I guess That means we will have to visit a lot.

TJ will be graduating with his Associates in the next few weeks. I'm so proud of him. he has pushed through and got it done in half the time it usually takes. Its been hard cause he's been loaded up with credit hours but it's almost done. As soon as he gets his associates he start in the Education program at Weber and hopefully that won't take very long. We'll see.

Well more news to follow. And please leave your comments about the name, I'm so undecided and your input will probably be the deciding factor.

Pink or Blue

I'm such a slacker. With Thanksgiving, Addy's birthday, and Christmas we have been pretty busy. But when I get some time I will post some pictures of our adventures the last few weeks. I'm also a slacker cause I haven't posted about having another baby. Our little BOY is due in June. We are so excited and can't wait to meet him. I'm a little nervous though, I know how girls work. I just got that down, and now here comes something completely different. Anyway we are still very excited and wanted to share with all of you.

Happy Fall

Here is a "photo journal" of all the Fall Festivities at our house.

Addison Loves playing in the leaves.

Addison in her Halloween Costume- She's a Ghost

New photos of Addy

I had Addison's Pictures taken a few weeks ago. I like to do them right before Halloween so I can have some taken in her costume(photos to be posted at a later date). But here are some of her cute ones. She was super sick that day and really grouchy, but I think that there are some really cute ones.

Her fathers child

Lots of people think that Addy looks a lot like me, but if they knew TJ's family they would see she looks exactly like them. So the one and only thing that Addison has inherited from me is my curly hair. I thought she would get my blue eyes, but no she has TJ's green. But if I had to pick one of my traits for her to have it would be my curly hair. Her hair is CRAZY curly. It curls all on its own. However she did inherit my baldness (I was Bald forever). Which means she didn't have much hair so she looked a little like Kramer for a while. I think it is growing in better and is really cute. I can't wait for it to get longer and more curly.

A Little Bit of Summer

Addison-Summer 2009

Just My Luck

Here it is, the story from start to finish. On Tuesday I was getting ready to get my temple recommend signed by the stake presidency, it's expired and I have a wedding to go to in a few days. I picked out my dress and was digging through my closet trying to find a pair of shoes, when I came across a pair that I haven't worn in about a year. They are really cute and I thought to myself as I was putting them on "Now Katie you have to be careful in these shoes, you're a little wobbly in them and you don't want to fall in front of the Stake Presidency. Maybe you shouldn't wear them." Well I didn't even make it that far. I tripped in them going down the garage stairs. There I was splayed out on the garage floor rocking back and forth in pain. "You're OK Katie just call your Dad on your Cell Phone, he will come out and help you get up." I searched through my purse for my phone but alas, I had left it on the counter plugged into the charger. I literally crawled back into the house, down the hall and into my parents room, and had my Dad take me to tanner clinic. Now here I sit in a boot with a broken 5th Metatarsal on my foot and my pretty shoes in the trash.
One week down and only 2 more to go. After that I have to have to go back in and he will check it again. So lesson learned, always listen to yourself, there might be dire consequences if you don't.
