Busy Weekend

Last weekend we were able to go to Idaho for Adam's cousin Derek's farewell and Lauren's Baptism. It was so good to see everyone, especially family from Canada that we haven't seen in a couple years. Andie also got to meet her great grandparents for the first time.
Lauren's baptism was amazing. She was so excited. Adam was so happy that he was able to confirm her. The whole baptism went really well and even Camryn sang I Am A Child Of God all by herself. It was the cutest thing ever. I sure wish we lived closer to family.

10 1/2 Months

I should have posted this a while ago but we have been really busy lately. Andie is getting more and more of a personality each day. She is so funny and I just love spending time with her all day every day. I don't know what we ever did without her. She has so much energy though. She doesnt stop moving from the time she wakes up until she goes to bed at night. Some of the thing she is doing know are:

- Says Mom, Dad, Uh-Oh, Ba Ba, and sometimes Done.
- Will growl like a Tiger.
- Stands for a minute or two all by herself. (tries to take a step but hasn't been successful yet)
- Walks along everything and gets into Everything!
- Loves being outside and playing in the grass.
- Watches Baby McDonald from Baby Einstein at least 10 times a day. (She is obsessed with all animals)
- Thinks she is a big girl now and will only eat what we eat.
- Loves to give kisses.
- Claps and Waves.
Just standing there while watching Baby Einstein.
Loves to sing and play with her toys.
A typical day at our house. I cant keep her out of Titus' what bowl. It drives me crazy!

Trip to Idaho

I was able to go to Idaho for a week and it was so much fun. Of course the girls had to get together for a much needed Girls Night and we stayed up until after 2am just talking, catching up and having fun. I just wish these girls would move closer. Maybe one day.Then on Saturday I was able to take Andie to Baby Animal Day in Blackfoot. She loved all of the animals and would scream when she saw them but didn't want to touch them!
We went with Andie's cousins and she loved having them around. They were so good to her and tried to help her all that they could. We don't get to see them very often but she sure loved having them around.We took the kids to play in the corn and Andie was so fascinated by it. She loved playing in it until she tried to eat it and then I had to get her out. She was not happy with me.
Then on Sunday we got to celebrate Mothers Day with both of our moms. Then that night I was able to talk to my brother on the phone that is on his mission in Mexico. It was so good to hear from him and I cant wait for him to get home. He has never even met Andie yet. Only 7 more Weeks to go!!!

Thanksgiving Point

Adam had the day off Friday so we thought we would take Andie out for a fun day. We went to Thanksgiving Point that is close to our house. We went to the Tulip Festival and it was so pretty. Then we took Andie to Farm Country and she was so excited the whole time. She fed all of the animals and didnt want to leave. It was a great day!

9 Months

Well we are really closer to 10 months now but these are some pictures of Andie at nine months. She is getting so big and I love it but along with that she is also getting quite the attitude. She is learning a lot and doing new things everyday. She now says Mom and Dada and shakes her head NO whenever she doesnt want something. She loves to click her tongue and make sounds and smacks her lips whenever she wants you to share your food with her. Also she is quite the climber. She has already had several bruises and I am sure she will have several more. She walks along anything she can. She would rather walk then crawl so I am sure she will be walking in the next few months. She can stand by herself for about five second but then realizes it and gets so excited that she falls. She is keeping us very busy but we love every minute of it.
Since she is into everything I have to keep a close eye on her and try and keep her with me whenever possible. I have to keep her in my bathtub while I get ready so she doesnt go anywhere.Baskin Robbins had there ice cream for 31 cents a scoop the other day and since it is right by our house we went and picked some up. I got a scoop of Cotton Candy ice cream for Andie and she LOVED it!I had to add a picture of Andie's new smile. She has such a cheesy grin now it just makes me laugh. She is so messy in this picture but it is one of the only ones that I could get. She smiles like this a lot but I just cant ever get it on camera.
