Disneyland

We went to Disneyland for thanksgiving and had a ball! We were there for 6 long days, that were good for the most part. we shared a house with the family(13 people and 2 bathrooms don't work).
we also flew so it was Trav and Addysn's first time on a plane it was so cute.Addy had a ball she was able to ride most of the rides, and really enjoyed them! she also loved ALL of the attention that she got from all the characters, it was so cute she would give them kisses on there noses and pet them; and with Pluto she pulled on his whiskers, he thought it was funny. but we learned with loud things and lots of screaming children she does not do good with at all, she freaked with the shows.
it was way fun to go with the family though because some of the rides Addy couldn't go on and we wanted to the family would watch her so we could it was way fun! we loved the picture we got of addy with mini because they were able to get her to smile!

so cute

last time i saw my grandma she told me that she had bought something for Addysn that she thought that Addy really needed to be protected. Its way cute Addy looks so precious in them and she dosen't touch them and she looks was cute in them! Trav and i think that she is the cutest little girl in this world! So Addy now has her very own sunglasses that fir her perfect, well kind of she has a cute little button nose, so they slide down her nose.

Anyways Addy is a happy, healthy little girl. she is over 6 months old weighs 13.4 pounds and 24 inches long! and still wearing 0-3 month clothing. Doctor Beckett says that she is just a perfect little petite girl, and that she just keeps getting more adorable by the day!

and just a cute close up of Addy's sweet smirk, she was mad and crying so i started taking pictures and this is a cute look that i got from her!

Fall Pictures of Addy Bear

We had pictures of Addy taken tonight by the Amazing Krista and A.J.(we appreciate them for all they do for us)!! My Aunt Joy made her a matching outfit it consists of a bonnet, booties, and a sweater! we went out today and everyone kept telling us that our little girl looked like a doll and was "so adorable." (we already knew that.) But wanted to get pictures taken to capture her in film....again! and because her mommy is kind of obsessed with her!

Splish splash!!!

Addysn hates bath time. Can you tell?

Daddy's favorite

Okay so I just really wanted a chance to blog so I am. These are some of my favorite pics of my little girl.

The cutest onezie ever!!!

So Trav was working at the POW-MIA rally and found this onezie. The cutest ever.

to cute not to share

tonight mom didn't feel like cooking, so we delivered my Avon, and went up to Blackfoot so i could cook dinner! Every one liked it i was so pound of myself(even picky little toad said it was delicious!!!)!! so mom said she would do desert; we had twinkies, oreo's and short breads. i tried to have a twinky, but i was talking to mom and when i looked back at Addy had attacked my twinky and "ate" more of it then i did, we grabbed the Camera and took a picture!! Daddy's comment "little theifer!"

many things have happend

well life is going wonderful! Addy is getting big she is now five months old(still wearing 0-3 month). Our family is finally an eternal family! And we had our one year anniversary!

starting
the 4th of July! Addy slept through the show, so she has no clue what fire works look like. but i got beautiful pictures of her!

we were coned into being in the pioneer day parade for the ward(all three of us). the theme was "it doesn't matter how you get there, just enjoy the journey." Addy took the spot light! we all thought it was way cute!

Mom decided the day was too hot, and decided that we should go swimming. so we all loaded up the troops and headed up to Lava for the day. Addy wasn't so sure what to think because she kept getting splashed. and then she fell asleep. but it was still fun

Trav and i did really good for a while about getting out and walking! and of course the camera always tagged along! one of the days we went it was way hot, so i had Addy in her Dipper and a huge red bow i thought she look precious. trav told me not to take the pic, so this is what i got(its now one of his favorites!). and of course to make me happy he did what i asked and held her!

Trav got into a streak that he wanted to cuddle Addy before bed at night. i would say ok and go do something else i would walk back into the bedroom a few minutes latter and see this. she would always sooth him to sleep! that is with her moving ad wiggling!

One night Trav was trying to do his homework and Addysn decided that she had to have him. so i asked if he would and she helped him do his homework. he thought that it was just way cute and so did i. she sat there staring at the computer and then would look up at Daddy "talk" and look at the laptop again.

We bought this shirt before Addy was born because how she acted already. we have learned that it was the best thing for her! it says"Daddy's little princess." i saw it when i was pregnant and had to get it! it has fit both of them perfect!

I was feeding Addy on the bed and playing on the laptop, and she feel asleep while i was feeding her; so i went and got ready to go, and all of a sudden heard music coming from the bed room(i had left it on facebook.) so i came back into the room and found this, i thought it was awesome and ran and grabbed the camera!

Addy was blessed by her amazing Daddy!! she looked so beautiful! her Grandma Bonnie made her the amazing blessing dress(i was positive that i was going to loose her in it, but didn't!!) her dress doubled also as her sealing dress, and she looked stunning for both. she made Trav and i cry. these are two of the pictures that i feel in love with!!

Bears getting her I-teeth first. she loves cold things, and the other night Trav took me out for ice cream. Ya Bear ate more of it then me. it was kind of sad, but made for some way cute pictures!! she just loved it! so it made it worth it to me to share with her

we started feeding Addy-Bear baby food the other day; she got pears to begin with and thought they were amazing! she of course made a huge mess, and i was feeding her on the love seat(it didn't get dirty) but she got a bath right after

and one to just show of my beauty

Scout Mountain

On Mamorial Day we had a weekend camping trip with the family up to Scout Mountain. It was way fun, Mom and Dad of corse did there delicious Dutch Oven cooking; and it was close enough to town that we could run back and get the things that we forgot(11 miles). There was only 5 or 6 trips made. And all of Mom and Dad’s “kids” were able to camp! Natalie and Jerry only got to come for one night, but they are both so much fun that even the one night with them was tons of fun! The only thing that sucked about the trip was that it rained the whole time we were up there, so we were all forced into having “bonding” time in the trailers. What was also fun was that AJ and Krista came up and were able to camp with us as well; they are a great influence on Trav and me.

We didn’t take a tone of wood up with us because we figured that we could find enough wood up there. But what we didn’t expect to learn was to NOT let Trav and David go looking for the wood when they have a 4-wheeler to do the heavy work. They brought a huge log back that the only way we would have been able to cut it would have been with a chain saw; but none of us had one. So when we were getting ready to leave Trav, Toad and Damon kicked the log down the hill. It was way cute, Damon would go chasing after the log yelling “go,go,go,go,go” it was kinda scary because he falls all the time and we were afraid that he was going to go tumbling down the mountain after the log(it didn’t happen).

We all had a blast, even with all the rain, and cant wait to do it again next year!

family pics

we finally got our family pictures back! they are so precious, they were baby Addysn's new born and family photos. one of Trav's friends from Rockland did them and they are amazing!



Thanks Kristin, they are amazing, we love them!

Addy and Daddy

Since Addy already had her Daddy wrapped around her little finger before she was born, it has just increased since her birth. Trav can not take his eyes off her, and she completely captured his heart.

Good Morning!

camping!

Dreamy eyes

Daddy, Addy and Damon

life

Having our baby has completely changed our lives. She is so amazing and wonderful; Addysn is a "good baby," she hardly ever fusses, sleeps wonderful, and is a happy little girl!
We went camping over Memorial day weekend and had a blast. My dad let us use his Trailer so we didn't have to sleep in a tent; and of course let Trav use his 4-wheeler. We went up to Scout Mountain with Trav's family and Krista and AJ; and only got rained into the trailers on Sunday! It was nice being able to get out of town and go to a gorges place and only be 11 miles from home.

CABOOM

so the ethanol barrels caught on fire at the American Falls airport tonight; And if you live in a small town everyone can hear the explosions. Travis and Mom were both on the ambulance and had to go make sure that none of the firemen got hurt, so of course Lynne and I knew exactly what was going on! We got a phone call telling us to go look at the "mushroom clouds." I do have to say that it is a great way to get to know the neighbors!
We were standing out side watching the fire and the psycho neighbor came running out side with his shotgun yelling that "someone was in his **** house" we tried to tell him what was going on and he went off about someone being in his attic; Then the psycho saw an explosion ran in his house got his wife jumped in his car and took off. None of us could stop laughing at him. it was great!
We also got to meet a kid that lives down the street. I've learned all it takes is to move out of the neighborhood to get to meet the neighbors!

IT'S A GIRL!!!

Well, our baby girl has arrived. Addysn Marie Ward was born 6 lbs 7 oz and was 20 inches long. She arrived after 15 hours of labor, at 8:17 PM on her Mommy's birthday, Monday May 4th. (It was about that time that she captured her Daddy's heart forever.) Misty was induced at 5:00 AM that morning. She started feeling having contractions about 15 minutes after the first dose of medication and they stayed pretty steady every 2-3 mins. At about 12:30 Misty decided she did not want to brave it anymore and asked for her first dose of pain meds. That dose worked for about an hour and then wore off. At about 3:00 in the afternoon Misty decided she wanted an epidural. The epidural was wonderful. Misty slept off and on for a couple of hours. Addysn was delivered by her Daddy and Dr. Paul Beckett. Both Addy and Mom are healthy and recovering nicely. They are expected to be coming home sometime Wednesday evening.1 hour old Addy with Mom, Dad and Grandma
