Happy Valentine's Day!

My daughter loves shopping just as much as me and when we go with Grandma she pretty much gets anything she likes.  Well we took a trip to one of my favorite clothing stores for kids, Old Navy, and they had this dress.  She looked so cute in it today that I had to share it with all of you.  She is getting so big and I can't believe the things she says, it is pretty funny.  She keeps me laughing all the time.  

BIG NEWS!!  Brandon will be home three months from tomorrow.  HOOORAY!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Together at last

I made it to Korea.  I felt like I was in another world or a few days, from the culture shock and the jet lag.  Doing good now.  We had a good time up there.  We went to the Korean War Memorial, did some shopping and visited the Seoul Tower.  We are just glad to be together.  It has been a good time so far.  

Merry Merry Christmas!!!

Dressing little girls is the best.  (not that I have a boy to compare it to).  Addi looked so cute in her Christmas outfit and she was so excited to wear it to church.  I must say that the shoes are the best part of the entire ensemble.  Merry Christmas everyone!

Merry Christmas to All

Well my favorite time of year has come and we have been so busy preparing and planning the many parties and presents.  It has been a good season.  I am anxiously awaiting the chance to see my husband on the 24th of this month.  It has been 7 and 1/2 months and I am sure it will be a joyous reunion and a wonderful two weeks.  Addi will have fun with Grandma and Grandpa while I am gone and I am sure her Christmas will be just as good.  I wish you all a wonderful holiday.  Our holiday cards will go out after the New Year so that we can have all of us on our card.  Love you all and have a wonderful season.  

Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow

We received a big snow storm so we had to take advantage and build Addi's first snowmen.  It wasn't the best packing snow, but they turned out pretty cute.  She liked it for about 30 minutes and then the cold got to her and she was ready to come inside.  It was a good time though and now it is beginning to feel more like Christmas.

Happy Halloweeeeen!

What September?  We were gone for practically the whole month.  We had a fabulous time in Phoenix for three weeks.  I worked about 70 hours while I was there and we spent the rest of the time with the wonderful friends we love and miss so much.  It really was a fun trip, but it made me decide that I really didn't want to go twelve months without seeing my husband.  As a result, I am going to be spending Christmas and the New Year with Brandon.  It was pretty amazing how it all game together and I am looking forward to it.  No Addi is not going and she will be able to have Christmas with her Grandparents (don't worry, she will have enough presents to keep her busy she won't even miss me)

The real purpose of this post is to show you what happened when I went to the temple last Saturday morning and left Addi with her Grandma. She was so excited and mom said she sat completely still while they painted her nails.  They only stayed really pretty for a few hours so I had to take the pictures immediately.
