Birthday

Addison has celebrated her first birthday it's so amazing how much she has changed I had time to myself on her birthday to reminisce about her and what it took to get her here in our life. Trying for a year and ending on fertility drugs I would never had traded those days, yes it was painful but I have her a sweet and lovable girl. She is walking and thinking that she can do whatever her big sister does. We say she is a big personality in a little body. We love her and wish her a many wonderful years. I promise that there will be pictures next time

Sickness

Here I am sitting here sick and I mean sick. Sweet Addison got the flu first my what a trooper she would throw up cry a little , I would give her a hug and rub her back she would proceed to come back up with a huge smile and want to play. This lasted just friday. Saturday K'Lee proceeded with it she would be sick and cry and cry wanted me to hold her and cuddle her let and would lay there. She was mad at me because she could not lay on the bed for awhile because at the time I was doing laundry and cleaning out their room so I had clothes everywhere she was able to lay on the bed later and was comforatable . Later that night TJ asked me if I was feeling OK I said why he said that I looked a little tired and flushed I turned to him Moms don't get sick. Guess what THEY DO!! I have never felt this sick since I was a kid. And thrown up this much either, not even when I was pregnant just woozy. Sorry no pictures yet I am trying get all my pictures on one computer.

Pinching your pennies

I don't know about you guys but I like to find good deals and walk away knowing that I saved money. A few of the ladies in my ward learned this thing with coupons, they have been trying to get me to do it for a few months but I was not so inclined in to cutting coupons. Just give me the deal without coupons. Well guess what I decided to try just once yes just once. I cut and collected the coupons from my mom and Grandma Wing and then from a friend from the ward. I had another friend helped me at the store by showing me how it works. As I was putting the stuff into the cart I was getting kinda worried because I was getting stuff that we as a family likes but don't get often due to the price. We got up to the check stand and I watched my total get higher and higher and then I handed the coupons over, and I proceeded to watch my total get lower and lower by the end I had saver over $50 bucks now I walked out of there very proud of myself and not only that but also felt that I have contributed to the family by saving money and I am hooked I have saved over the last month $250 dollars. I think I am in love with saving. There is a website if you ever want to check it out. www.pinchingyourpennies.com . It's such a rush to watch the money you save. And the husbands like it they just won't admit it I have even shown my mom. It has also helped with our food storage. I hope you all check out the website and happy shopping!!

Go Broncos

This past week has been fun. TJ went to a Denver Bronco game with his mom , aunt Tammy and cousin Britany. He had lots of fun even though the Broncos lost. This has become a tridition for Cindy ( TJ mom) to take a family member to the game. She is the Broncos biggest fan. While TJ was away the girls and I had some fun of our own. Friday night we had some of the girls friends over to play after they left we had some ice cream and went to bed. Saturday I took them to Logan and played, and then had a girlfriend of mine and her three kids come over and play and watch movies ate pizza and made cookies with ice cream. It was nice to play and enjoy the kids without the worry of other stuff and just really watch and learn about your children. It makes
me feel blessed and proud to be a mom

September

BUSY need I say more. Preschool, Dance, Busy. We celebrated K'Lee 4th Birthday. She had a Princess Cake, and lots of family over for the event. She was very excited the whole day about opening presents and eating cake and ice cream. K'Lee has also started preschool she is having fun learning and playing with a whole bunch of new kids as she puts it. I have not learned any names yet so we will see.



Addison was entered into the Baby Contest no winnings but lots of fun. She liked the stuff on the stage. She has received 4 teeth in 4 days. And has a Sinus Infection to top it off. So we have had a rough couple of weeks. She has decided that climbing is more fun then to stay on the ground I have found her on the kitchen table, my bed and the couches with a little help from K'Lee on the couches I have not decided if this is a good thing or bad I will get back to you on that.

As for the family we are just having fun and enjoying the cool weather. TJ is liking his new job in Preston and being busy. I have been trying to keep up with the kids and TJ. We have been going to Jamie's volleyball games and having fun watching her. She is a good little player. We are also counting the days until Stacy and Nicole and family comes home from Alaska we are so excited to see how much Olivia has grown and play with aunt Stacy. I will promise to much better with our blog and keep everyone updated with our fun Burbank life.

Update

I know I know I have been slacking on my blog. I have been very busy with life and kids. We as a family have been adjusting to having daddy home more often and actually not working at the house on projects for the jobs. We have been getting ready for preschool and dance. K'Lee has been so excited for these new adventures in life. She is doing a duet in dance to the cookie dance it's been fun for both of us because I get to help her practice the dance so I get excersie for about 30 minutes a day. Addison loves to help us dance and clap she is such a happy girl and loves to be by mommy all the time. Addison has decided to climb instead of learning to walk, she has been on the kitchen table, my bed, up the stairs and the couches. I love my life and watching the kids learn new things every day it is such a honor to be a parent and help our heavenly father raise these sweet spirits I know that with prayer and love from our heavenly father we cn help them be the best they can be. I will post pictures next time.

Events

K'Lee has been doing a cheerleading camp and she loved it she will go into her room and do cheers or bust a cheer out for us when she feels like it. Addison has been getting quite a personality she loves to squeal and play with her sister she is into everything and I mean everything. I have been just trying to keep up with the family.
