Sitting Up In The Crib

Her are the pictures of Addy sitting up in the crib. Sorry but I am using this for my journal to so I need some pictures on here since I can't print out videos. So just bare with me as I have a post that's about the same as a post from yesterday.

Mom I just woke up from my nap. Please just pick me up and hold me I really don't need my picture taken.

Hi mom!

I Want That Milk!!

Yesterday I was getting Jace something for dinner and he wanted a drink of milk. I said ok and I got the already opened jug. and Jace did not want that one he wanted the new one. Well after a little power struggle I convinced him to drink the opened one by telling him to drink it out of the jug. He thought that was pretty cool.

Addy Crawling Up The Stairs

Yesterday I went upstairs to go and do something, I can't even remember what I went up to do. But when I was coming to go down stairs I found a little girly who just could not stand me being gone and decided that she needed to come and find me. Luckily Dan was home and behind her. Dan didn't help her at all, she made it up about 4 stairs all by her self then Dan helped her get up a few more stairs. I cant believe how fast she is growing up, and that she will be a year in less than 2 weeks. That year went by so fast!

A Fort!!

Today Dan built Jace a fort or tent as Jace calls it. Jace had so much fun in his tent. Addy even had fun it. If Jace would come out of the tent, Addy would follow him and when Jace would go back in Addy would follow him.

Addy look at mama. Ok I will hold your head again.

Addy Learning To Sit Up All by Herself

On Friday I laid Addy down for a nap. When she woke up I found her in her crib sitting up, and she got there all by herself. I didn't get a picture of it but I will hopefully in the next couple of days.

Jace Playing the Drums!

Addy Almost Crawlling

Please Say A Prayer.

In church today we got word that a young wife, and mother of 2 small children ages 3 and 18 months (I think that's there ages) was really sick, and was life flighted to another hospital. Then during fast and testimony meeting we got word from the bishop, who I guess was with the family. He called another member of the ward. We were told that the doctors did not think that she would make it through the day. Well after church we got word that she had passed away. So please say a little prayer for the Steel family.

Potty Traning!!!!

We are potty training Jace!!!! Yeah he has been in real underwear for one week now. He is doing so so good he has only had two accidents in one week. I am so PROUD of you Jace!

Sporting New Eye Ware

Yesterday was Addison's apt. at Primary Childrens Hospital. She had to go and see an opthamolagist. She was getting her eyes checked to see if there were any problems with the genetic disease that we have. The doctor said that everything looked fine. He told us that 1 in 10 people with our disease (Neurofibromatosis) can get these gliomas on the optic nerve and it could or could not cause vision problems. Everything turned out great the doctor said that she is not showing any signs of these yet, and wants to see her in 6 months to check her eyes again. He dilated her eyes to get a better look at her eyes. I forgot my camera so I got a few with my phone. She hated the glasses I had to fight her, and hold her hands down, to even get these few pictures.

rubbing her eyes cause she wouldnt keep the glasses on in the bright sun.

Addy Look At Mama

The same day Addy was sick Jace wanted me to take his picture with Addy. He loves having his picture taken.

Addy look at mama! Ok I will help you to look at mama

Ok I will just hold your head so you can look at mama.

Poor Sick Addy

On Sunday the 11th Addy started running a temp. and knowing that it was a Sunday I knew there was not much I could do for her. I really don't like going to the insta care I would rather take her to her own dr. So first thing Monday morning I called the dr. and got her an apt for that afternoon. I was guessing that it was her ears that was causing the temp. and I was right she had an ear infection. I got these pictures on Monday morning after she was done eating. She really did not feel good, but it was really nice having her sick only for the fact that she would cuddle with me. It does break my heart seeing these pictures and how sick and sad she looks. The thing that made me really worry was the she had the fever from Sunday afternoon to Wednesday afternoon. But she is all good now.

Christmas Morning And Night

Christmas morning we woke up about 7:30 to open gifts. We were waiting for my mom and dad to get here and finally at 8:00 they came they were a half in hour late cause of all of the snow. They kids had so much fun opening there gifts.

Even more

After we got done opening gifts and our house we headed to my moms house for breakfast and more gifts. I forgot to take pictures at my moms house. Then that afternoon we headed over to Logan to go to my moms side of the family and there Christmas party.

This is my cute grandma! She told us about her and grandpas first Christmas as a married couple. They did not have enough money for a "real" tree so grandma told grandpa to go and find a tumble weed and that would be there Christmas tree. Grandma decorated it and made it look as nice as she could. And that was there tree that year.

He got it and loved it!

So we decided to stay home, we didn't do much we just got the house ready for Christmas day. Christmas eve night we went over to my aunt and uncles house. They had a soup and bread bowl dinner. Then we had a little mini program, a few of the kids sang Christmas songs. The kids all got there gifts and pajamas.
