back to school

Trav and I are both back to being full time students.....STRESSFUL! And our sweet baby girl started daycare, she is loving it. The daycare is only a block from our house so we will pull out and go the other way and she freaks out saying she wants to go to "a-care and play with my friends" and then when i go to pick her up she freaks out and says "no go home, i play." its sad but im glad she is loving it.

This is Trav's last semester at ISU, he is going for an Associats in applied Science. And has applied to the Paramedic program at CSI, so we will find out in the next couple of weeks if we move.

That also means... Im changing my major, im thinking Surgery Tech. but we will see how it goes.

But all and all we are doing great! stressed but enjoying it!!

hello spring?

Well this last week Trav came home Monday sick gave it to Addy and then to me... So it has been a very long week. Addy is now in Challis with her Grandma Brantner and playing with dogs and her grandparents and Aunt she doesn't get to see that often.

My tiny baby girl will be 2 in less then a month, I'm not sure if i should be happy or sad, the time has flown by.

My Darling husband graduates on the 6th of May. I am so proud of him for all the hard work and enthusiasm that he has done and has for the program!

Addy got some pink cowgirl boots and refuses to take them off. I tried to "hide" them from her because they are 2 sizes to big and after searching for them for half an hour she went to her Daddy bowling and he gave in. She will not go anywhere without her boots, she even insists on wearing them to church(her Daddy thinks its cute.)

Well again life has gone crazy and we have not had time to get around to updating our blog, so here we go.

Thanksgiving was amazing Addy thought it was so much fun! We had 3 different dinners and that just meant that she got to play with her cousins that much more!

2 days before Christmas Addy got her finger amputated in the gears of a wheel chair lift and lost the first joint of her middle finger on her right hand. She took it a lot better then her mommy and daddy, but we are all doing a lot better now.
She has healed really good and she is using her hand like nothing ever happened.

Christmas, well we had 2! one at our house and one up and Grandma and Grandpa Cox's, our little girl loved opening about the first 4 gifts and then started playing with her new toys so it took a long time to get all the gifts opened.

New years we spent with with Grandma and Grandpa Cox Addy was in bed by 10:30 and then back awake by 1 she decided that since we decided since we didn't let her see the ball drop we wouldn't get to see a good nights sleep.

We are now getting ready for Daddy's birthday!!!! Addy does not like going into a store and not going into the toy section, poor little girl:(

Happy Halloween!

We have still been able to do a little bit for Halloween even with school! Addy helped make her first pumpkin this year! It was so funny, we would tell her to reach in and take the "stuff" out and she would start to reach in and fill it and quickly pull her hand out. Before we could start carving the pumpkin Addy did her own version of carving. It was scary but cute.
The pumpkin had lips all over it when it was done. Addy went to bed shortly after helping clean it.

Addy is "Snow white" this year, the costume is so cute, it is like a tutu, and she loves to watch the tutu bounce as she walks. She also loves to wear it, lucky for her Mommy and Daddy! Trav and I have also been working with Addy trying to teach her to say "trick-or-treat" and today she ran into the kitchen after Trav and said "treat" and he was doing something else so she followed him around saying "dada" "daddy" "da" until he finally was able to help her and she said "treat"

October

Well life has been way crazy, Trav and I are both back in the full swing of school, Trav is loving school he says it is more like playing everyday! Me on the other hand, working my butt off, but doing good in my classes!
Addy is doing amazing she is now 17 months and so beautiful! She is talking up a storm, and is running and so silly!
Addy and I have taken on a new adventure in life! during the day we watch a little boy(I take night classes)!! Addy loves him so much, all day is full of hugs and kisses, very slobbery but still kisses! We both love the little man so much, and it is nice to be able to help out some wonderful friends!
The family also went down to North Carolina the end of July through the beging of August! We went so Addy and I could get to know Travs real parents and sister and to have some fun with them, we went to Busch Gardens, Addy learned the music so we would be walking in and she would get way excited! She also loved riding on the rides her size! this is a picture of Grandpa helping her on to one of the rides. We also went to the beach and had a blast! Addy was so cute playing in the water! It was a good fun vacation and we had fun with The Ward side of the family.
The end of August we celebrated our 2nd anniversary! Well kind of, we really couldn't due much due to the fact that school started the next day. But we did enjoy a wonderful dinner!
