Just An Excuse To Post Some New Pictures


There's no real update to speak of, but I received one of the CDs of Addyson's photos today and couldn't wait to upload them to share. Included are a few of my favorites with many more posted on Facebook. We are enjoying a lazy Saturday watching BYU football on TV (49-3 in the fourth as I type this) after which some much needed errands will be run and I even hope to get Addy's Birth Announcement and Blessing Invites done today and sent out soon. If you'd like to receive one please respond with your address! Happy Weekend to all. Oh! And Addyson can now say she has been to 2 BYU football games, 1 women's volleyball game and a men's basketball game!! GO COUGARS :)

Halloween, Babysitters, Work & Great Great Grandparents!


It's hard to believe one, that it's already November and two, that Addyson is almost 7 weeks old now. We enjoyed one last hurrah celebrating her first Halloween before I started back to work, and to my dismay, Addy has to have a babysitter. No, actually her sitters are GREAT and we were very luck to find such kind and loving ladies with flexible schedules to help out! I will admit, some tears were shed the night before and that first day I left her with her first sitter; but it is nice to be back to work and back in a routine! My co-workers are GREAT and my boss has agreed to let me take one day off a week. The goal is to have Wednesdays off to spend some time with my baby girl and get things done around the apartment, because let's be honest, no one wants to spend their weekends doing dishes and laundry!!! Anyways, I've survived my first week and a half back and look forward to spending my evenings with Chris and Addy!!! :)




Addyson has experienced a lot of fun and exciting new adventures lately. Although they may not seem fun or exciting to her; Chris and I are having a BLAST being new parents! Above is a picture of myself, Addyson, Chris and Addy's Great Great Grandma Johansen ("Grandma Jo"). Grandma Jo will celebrate her 90th Birthday tomorrow 11/11/10 and it was so neat to be able to introduce them and get a picture of them together! Chris' parent's will be coming out to visit for Thanksgiving and we are going to have a 5-generation picture taken; talk about exciting and neat experiences :) And speaking of pictures; Addyson and I had a girls day today and met some neat ladies who took Addy's pictures!!! She did SO good and was content and happy for the majority of the shoot. After capturing LOTS of cute poses Addy decided she had had enough! We called it a day after several hours and I hope to get more photos taken again in the near future; we can't wait to see the ones taken today!!!
