Life the last 9 months

My Goal this week was to update our blog after an unintentional 9 month sabbatical...now lets see if I can maintain it with a significant amount of posting to be worthy of your viewing! First of all...

We moved (pictures to follow)

Addy was promoted to a big girl bed (Independence is bliss!)
I got a different job (marodspa.com)

we have new callings (Teaching the ctr 7 class in primary)

Addy turned 2 (woo hoo!)

Celebrated our 3rd Anniversary (feels like much longer than that...I mean in the most loving way possible)
Addy was demoted to her crib (needless to say that pleasurably independent streak only held true for the
little miss of the house....)



Just an update for those of you faithful blog readers who have (hopefully) missed our presence in the blogging world!



(The Promotion)


(The Front of our House...)














(Here are a bunch of Addy's
two year old pictures...that I was able to take my self...in her skirt that my awesome mom helped me pump out in record time...(record time for an amateur sewer like me! Thanks Julie for the pattern and inspiration!)






We live really close to the Canyon Rim, so Addy
and i took a little walk and snapped some pics.
(I bribed her with mints and gum so she obliged
to do a lot more than she normally would... hey it works!)



For our anniversary for the past 2 years we have attended a Jon Shmidt Concert...low and behold when we found out this great entertaining concert pianist was comming to Twin Falls the week of our Anniversary we were pretty excited! Needless to say it's become an unintentional anniversary tradition. This is me at home after the concert with our new signed Jon Schmidty CD. WOO HOO!



We also like to visit the place where Derek proposed , At the look out on the canyon rim... We have a lot of fun reminiscing simpler times and how far we have come in just 3 short years! Love ya babe!


Thank you for enduring a super long catch up post...that hopefully wont happen again in nine months...phew!

Boy was I shocked when I went to your blog and found a new post! It was fun to see pictures of your cute Addy and your new house. I wish we had been able to come over during Thanksgiving weekend. Keep us updated on your cute family (and any crafts you are doing)!

How fun! I loved your highlights. So funny how poor Addy got her independence revoked! I also think it's cute that you're able to go back to the spot where Duce proposed! AWWWWWW! ;)

Sorry I took a blogging break too so I am now just catching up. I can't believe all you guys have done in three years. That seems short to me too. I love Addy's pictures and the skirt. Looks great!

I finally caught up at looking at blogs. Even though we live close and we've seen your home, it's fun to see what you've posted. And I love Addy's pictures! We are so happy to have you so close and we love seeing you all often.
