Addison watering the flowers and lawn

Addison is enjoying discovering the hose. She has a great time until the water gets her when she swings the wrong way. She was helping me water the seeds we planted in the flower beds.

Addison enjoying her food!

Addison had a blast when I just let her have the bowl and spoon after making brownies! She tried to get it all off (just like her mom!) She also tried Otter pops which are okay except they are so darn cold :) and she loves pizza even with the pepperonis.

Some other new updates include Addison advancing to her toddler bed. She loves her big girl bed and has done pretty well going to sleep although she likes to kick the wall for a few minutes while falling asleep but all in all she does quite well with it. Also for those who haven't heard we are expecting again. Baby boy Whitworth is due October 14th. We are very excited and will let you know more as it comes. Pregnancy is going well. Tyler is half way through another semester and looking forward to being done sooner than later. He will have all his classes finished in December and then will have a job/internship with Church headquarters in Riverton, UT starting in January if all goes according to plan. We are excited for the opportunity it will afford him to learn from professionals in his field of interest.

Two Trips to the Zoo

We took two trips to the Idaho Falls zoo in May. One with some friends the Scholes and one with our preschool class. Hallie and Hilary were with us too! We had a blast looking at all the animals. Addison and Hallie even got to pet the baby goat at the petting zoo part. They thought that was strange... but fun.

Discovery

Addison discovered bugs the end of April. We had a nest of ladybugs in one of our flowerbeds and Addison had a ball holding them on her finger. She was amazed by them flying away too although once they were gone she got upset (shown in one of the pictures with her hand up to her face.) She now loves to look at all different kinds of bugs from spiders to ants.

Easter time

These are some of our favorite things that have happened over the last month or so. We like to go to the park and play with cousin Hallie. Addison loves blowing bubbles. (We usually don't make too big of a mess) Easter was fun. Addison loved hunting for Easter eggs. We practiced a lot around the house before the big day. We also colored Easter eggs at Grandma Tonks' house.

The Last Month

Here are some things that have happened the last month. Cari Cherrington came home from her mission in Sweden. Addison had a playmate for a few days while we watched Carter Scholes. The Cherringtons' and us went to the nature park to feed the ducks and take pictures (more for Tyler's class). We enjoy spending time with friends. The last set of pictures are of Addison having a little wedgie. I had changed her diaper and sent her to the tub. Somewhere along the road she picked up her blanket... Pretty cute naked bum.

Addison Portrait

Hey Everybody, I am posting something!!! It's very exciting. These are some portrait pictures Tyler took of Addison in the studio on campus for one of his classes. They turned out pretty cute. We forgot to bring props so we ended up using the diaper bag. Addison found my wallet which I took away (the picture of her crying) then decided to give it back since we weren't quite done with the session and she was inconsolable until she had it back. Pictures taken on March 31, 2010) Addison is now 15 and 1/2 months old.
