Vacation

Well, I did it. I finished up school for the most part. I have a few internship hours to complete and by the end of June I'll be all done! Some of you might not know this but I am going to be going to a brand new school and teaching 6th grade. The school is called North Point and is just about 1 mile south of Thanksgiving Point. I'm pretty excited about the prospect of opening a new school. While I'm aware of challenges that are prevalent in a new school this one is going to be pretty stacked. Smart boards, elmo document cameras, and projectors in each classroom. I'm also going to get a pretty good start up budget.
Stacey, Addie and I went on a little trip to Bryce Canyon National Park during spring break with Stacey's parents. We had a great time despite the cold and snow. Enjoy the pictures.

Our Little Fishy

We were finally able to get our passes renewed at the Rec Center in Orem, and since we had just bought Addie a swimsuit and swimmer diapers we thought we would go to the pool. It was definitely a special treat for Addie. She loves taking a bath, and she did not know what to do with herself in the pool she was so excited! Poor Grandma Stevenson could not come into the pool area and watch because she was in her street clothes, but we were happy she was able to spend some time with us and help anyway.








Addie was a good little kicker and had fun splashing around. I am sure it will not be long before we will not be able to get her out of the pool!

Our Big Little Girl

Addie is growing so fast. Here are some fun recent pictures of her.

Random Photos

So I finally got some of the photos off of my phone and onto the computer. Some are old and some are new, but I thought they were fun. Recently Addie has discovered the toilet paper in the bathrooms, and the other day I caught her red handed. It was quite funny. I'm just sad I don't have a better picture of it, so maybe I'll have to let her play with it again. :)

Some cute old pictures:

Sleepy Time

So our little Addie is growing up fast and getting cuter everyday! She is crawling all over and getting into everything. She has mastered pulling herself up, walking while holding onto the furniture, and lowering herself back down when she wants to start crawling again.

She is even getting brave enough to briefly let go and stand on her own, but only briefly! She has also mastered being able to turn over making it extremely difficult for Daddy and Mommy to change and dress her. We also had to lower her crib because of this. She has been teething lately and that combined with her flipping over in her crib has lead to her not sleeping very well during the day, and when she does fall asleep it is usually some pretty funny positions. Oh what would be like to be that flexible again?

Grocery Luck

So Stacey and I decided to go grocery shopping on the Saturday before the Superbowl. Needless to say the store was crazy. In addition to the craziness associated with the general shopping the store was also having a drawing for a 42" flat screen T.V. To make a short story shorter. I put my name in the drawing and won. We I went up there I found out I didn't just win a T.V. but a recliner and a stand for the T.V. also. A pleasant addition to our already good deal on groceries.

Addie Cakes

The last time I tried to publish a post my computer crashed. Let's see what happens this time.

So Addie has been growing and getting cuter every day. On Christmas day she began to crawl, she talks, giggles, and sings all the time, and just recently her two bottom teeth have started to come in. In our ward Stacey has befriended a Korean lady. Her husband came to visit a week ago and she invited friends over to meet him. Today at church she told us after we left her husband couldn't stop talking about how much she looked like a little doll. We agree. She is so dang cute it's hard to put her down at nights. Addie also loves her baths. She cries when we take her out. She is turning out to be quite the fish already. We'll have to get some pictures of her rub-a-dub-tubing. Until then these will have to do. Enjoy!!!
