Snow Bunny...



This little lady was so excited to play in the snow this morning, that she forgot a few essential pieces of her wardrobe! Love her!

Disneyland/San Diego

We just got back from a great trip with the Gines to Disneyland, and San Diego. We were the last of the bunch to arrive, everyone else had been there a few days before us. We flew into San Diego, and then headed right up to Newport Beach to meet up with the family. The next day we went to Disneyland, and had tons of fun. After Disneyland, we headed back to my Dad's house in San Diego. We all had fun hanging out, eating out, and celebrating a Utah victory. It was a great get-away that I needed badly! Thanks for making it possible Jo!

A pre-Disneland picture with all the grandkids. Addison was less than amused. What cute kids!


Outside the gates, waiting to go in. Addison kept saying that she wanted to go to Disneyland. She didn't really get that we were there until she got off the first ride.

We saw Mickey, Goofy and the Cars characters. Addison didn't like seeing them. She said she was scared of them.


We like the Pirates ride because the whole family can go on it. Here's the Whitney's, the Gines, and Addi. Addison still talks about the pirates that say, "Yo, yo, yo, yo, a pirate's life for me.", and how her bum and Jo Jo's bag got wet.


Nursing a baby in Disneyland isn't the most fun thing. We managed though!
Hailey's first tirp to Disneyland was spent in the stroller. She was a great baby and seemed to enjoy her first visit.
I love this picture of Jo and Addison just after the Buzz Lightyear ride

It's been a long day, all tuckered out
Eating at Phil's, a delicious BBQ joint in San Diego
Addison got a taste of Tabasco sauce when we weren't looking, and then poured it on Trav's food. It was hilarious..she didn't think so. We asked her after she cooled down what she tasted and put on Daddy's food, and she showed us without hessitation.

We went to one of our favorite San Diego restaurants, Corvette. It's a crazy fun diner, with yummy burgers, shakes, and fries. This is a lousy picture, but it was the best I could get of a cranky, tired Addison.
Super duper cute!
There has to be an occasional picture of the one who always takes the pictures. I'm not looking my best..but hey, I was there.
Addison has always been a veggie eater. This time it paid off! Because she was chowing down on this lettuce that was meant to be a garnish, and looked so silly doing it, the manager gave us a free kids meal. She said Addison made her laugh, and it was just what she needed. Thanks for saving us $7 bucks, Ad!

Randoms From The First Month...

With a new baby in the house, you don't get out much. We have had a crazy month adjusting to our new life with sweet baby Hailey. It has been fun with lots of visitors and silly days at home.

Captain Underpants Addison has struggled with potty training issues since Hailey was born. In an effort to spice things up and get her excited about going in the toilet, we put these undies on her head. Jo was disgusted. It didn't work...any suggestions on potty help would be appreciated!!

At her two week appointment, the Dr. told me to keep checking on Hailey's mouth because she thought she may have thrush. The white didn't go away, so Jo suggested an "old fashioned" remedy called Gentian Violet. She warned that it turns everything purple, including spit up, but cured Katie overnight when she had it as a baby. It was seriously PURPLE!!

The purple mouth residue matches her dress perfectly for her first time at church

Addison, Hailey, and cousin Cambree...cute girls!

Addison loves to play with all of her babies, including Hailey
Addison had fun painting some magnets for the fridge. She made a mess, but that smile made it all worth it!
