Cheer Camp

2012-02-07T17:57:00.001-07:00

Addison went with her cute friend Berklie to Bountiful High School's Mini Cheer Camp! It was a few hours on a Saturday and then they performed at the High School Basketball Game! I was a little nervous because Addison has never performed in front of a large group. She loves to look around and forget what she is doing! Lucky us she did Great! It was so much fun, they did a little dance with their age group and then all the kids did a group cheer! I couldn't get any pictures of the performance because I was trying to video record it! Here are some fun ones before and after!

Addison is a Sunbeam! She has two teachers that she loves and it is so much fun for her to sing with the big kids! Austin was lucky and he got to start Nursery a little early, he doesn't love it yet! I love them so much! I think they look so cute all dressed up!

We love to Play

Today we went to Austin's 15 month check up. It was supposed to be in December, but we didn't want him to have shots during the holidays! He had to get three shots and he was so brave. He only cried for a few seconds.

Austin Stats:

Weight: 23lbs 14oz (30%)

Length: 31.5" (45%)

Head: 19" (70%)

So as I already knew... He is Perfect!!

Happy New Year 2012!! I am so excited for this New Year! We had a rough start with Paul, Addison and I getting the stomach flu and Austin breaking three new teeth. I am most positive that it will get better from here! One of my resolutions is to use my blog! My friend Heather has inspired me to have enough posts by the end of next year to make an awesome book like hers! I am excited to share with friends and family our adventures and new experiences!! A quick update since my last post... 2 years ago!
Paul is now the Chief Pilot for Codale Electric Supply! He loves his job and has had some awesome opportunities! He went to Ireland, Italy, Iceland, and Spain this past summer and of course golfed at some AMAZING places! He has worked really hard to achieve this position and we are so proud of him!
Addison is now a soccer playing, dancing, beautiful, sassy, fun loving pres-schooler! She is my Best little friend! Addison is also a new Sunbeam and is so excited to sing with the big kids!
Austin is the cutest, sweet, funny, adventurous little boy! He is so amazing and it is so fun to watch him change each day! He is non stop, walking all over and jabbering as he goes!

To my mom,

Thank you so much for all that you have done for us. We are so grateful for all of your help and the full freezer! Thank you for teaching me to bathe, feed, change, hold, drive, travel, sleep, do laundry, garden, eat and clean while having a newborn! I am so lucky to have you for a mom! I nominate you as "Mother of the year!" I always knew that you were amazing, but these last few weeks you have really taught me a lot! I will always cherish the time we've spent together during the greatest time of my life. Mom, I love you so much. I hope to be as great a mom as you. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

I love you and miss you.
