Thanksgiving was great we spent it with my family this year. Ate way to much food as we always do on Thanksgiving.. We made Gingerbread house's that night out of rice krispie treats and if we would of let the rice krispies dry out a day or two more we wouldn't have had collapsed homes.. Oh well it was the thought of it and spending time with family.. My brother Ty made the BSU stadium it turned out really well and no it has not collapsed. I will post pics as soon as I download them..

Chase and I ventured out on Black Friday early in the morning we woke up at 3:30am so we could get to Rexburg by 4:15 we arrived at Sears, and purchased a front loader washer and dryer for an amazing deal.. Then we hit up Walmart talk about a mad house, there was so many people. We didn't have a cart so Chase and I were trying to carrying everything in our arms. I was very impressed with Chase and his willingness to shop.. He was quite the trooper, we didn't get back to my parents until 5:00pm so that was a full day of shopping but I can say Christmas shopping is officially done. It was fun and once a year isn't going to kill us waking up that early right? All for the experience that was Chase's first year shopping on Black Friday.

We found out that we are having another girl, and I look like I'm all ready to pop and I still have 3 months to go.. I don't ever remember being this big with my other two. She must be sitting more out front or she must be big (NO, I like my small babies) Davaney was 6lbs 12oz. Addi was 6lbs. 3oz. Chase was 8lbs when he was born so hopefully she wont be that big if so chase is dead.. :) We are getting more and more excited about her arrival. We were hoping for a boy, but maybe someday down the road a boy will decide to come to this family :) Chase says his male testosterone must not be very strong. We get a laugh about it because he came from a family of 6 boys, and here we have 3 girls.. Chase says we will adopt a boy if what we do doesn't work. :)

Davaney and Addi are keeping us on our toes that is for sure. Addi loves to tease her big sister, and Davaney doesn't know how to take it so she just screams.. AAHHH.. what do you do punish addi for teasing (of course) or punish Davaney for screaming (of course) then end up punishing yourselve for getting so uptight and frustrated... Love live right?

Pole Bridge Camping

So honestly this little creek was not all that warm plus it wasn't all that warm during our camping trip. How sad end of July and we had our winter coats on in the morning around the campfire.
Dad took them on a littl float no matter the weather what a sport.

Davy and addi had a dirt fight and this is the results.

Addi was happy she got her sis..

what a face...

what a happy little girl..

Manti Pagenant Trip with 1st Ward Youth

This was our trip as young women and young men in our 1st ward in Saint Anthony to the Manti Pageant. We stayed in Chase's families Cabin in Fairview.. The boys were out on the porch. While the girls enjoyed the inside of the cabin..

Some boys choose to sleep on the hard concrete on the basketball court. WHATEVER...

This was special for Chase and I this is where we were married and this is the first time in almost 5 years since we have been back. So it was fun..

I love this Temple I have to say this is my all time favorite

Hot Rod'n in the Barbie Mustang

This was their early Christmas present we walked into walmart while they were remodeling and they had this car for $125 as a display car it retails for $294.. We just couldn't pass up the deal. They love it..

Davaney was a great driver at times.. Sometimes she didn't know she had to keep her eyes on the road..:)

Neighbor Brynlee Farley had fun as well.. We miss just living right next to her.. They are sure cheesing it up in this picture

Catching up!!!!

So I figured I had some major catching up to do..

June- came and went with wet weather so we couldn't get out much to do any camping..

July- Sold our home left with bitter sweet feelings, sad we left our ward, and our friends, glad we don't have a mortgage payment in this ecomomy that is struggling..

FOUND OUT THAT I'M PREGNANT with # 3 feeling great besides some smells of food or just the thought of eating certain foods.. Due March 1st We find out next month what the sex of the baby is.. VERY EXCITED... A little nervous with what number 3 will bring since you only have 2 hands.... AAAHHH...

Took a couple camping trips in the month of July one down to Fairview Utah to celebrate the 24th of July with Chase whole family.. Had a great time.. Will post a few pics.. Upon arriving we we took a camping trip with my family to pole bridge up by mesa falls.. Fun stuff..

August- Flew by, took a trip to Bozeman MT to go school clothes shopping with my sisters and mom.. spent the night up there and had a over all great time, in the mean time chase took the girls to palisades with my dad and older brother and his family camping in a TENT.. They had a muddy fun. You will see when I post some pics.. My bro from missourri came with his family and we had a great time with them. The girls had a great time with their all their cousins.

September- Just begun and look it is already almost the middle of the month. Just supporting my sisters at their v-ball games.. Got a new calling in our ward in ashton I'm a nursery leader. We have fun and other than just gold fish I'm going to bring on the treats.. :) Chase is the Gospel Principal teacher and they have had many good comments since he has been the teacher.. He's great at that kind of stuff.. When things have settled down some, Addi has shown interest in going potty so as of today I have taken charge to see if it will take hold so far so good she wakes up dry so that is one of the signs right, she is the same age I did Davaney so hopefully we will be diaper free for at least 5 more months..

I say this every time but hopefully I will be better at posting on my blog

Just Kidding

So I just jinxed ourselves I think.. The buyers of Carl and Jingers Andreasens home could not get financing so therefore we will still be trying to sell our home.. I always get shot down when my hopes get high.. So maybe something will come around soon I hope.. This is Heavenly Fathers time line and he knows best.. so we will see what happens next..

Our beautiful home

My most Favorite room in the house and will be missed very much... For those of you that don't know we are in the process of selling our home. I'm getting a little antsy about the whole packing bit and I hope I'm not getting a head of myself with my luck something will fall through lets hope not, but we feel good about it, and we are selling it to a great couple, alot of you may know them Carl and Jinger Andreasen. Thankyou to all the friends we have made in this surrounding area, you've been great and will be missed, BUT we are not moving very far away so you can still call and keep in touch. I will need an out for those of you that know Im moving in with the in-laws and it will be hard so I would be happy to drive down to good ole Saint Anthony and have a playdate with my kids and yours..

p.s when I add post I like to do a lot at once, so that should make up for once a month right?

POTTY TRAINING

ok so I'm not in a real rush to potty train because it's summer and it can be pretty crazy with vacations, camping, moving, etc.. she is slowly getting herself ready though, the other morning she came into our room and said mom I need to go potty, her diaper was dry and sure enough she went pee in the toilet, she is working on it but I'm not ready to force it.

Everytime we have her on the toilet with a book she ends up going potty it must destract her from the whole potty mode.

taking the first potty pictures everyone does it right?

don't need to explain that picture......

ADDALYNS 2ND BIRTHDAY
Alright I guess it is time for a little update.. My baby Addalyn just had her 2nd birthday oh how time flies... a lot of you say it is time for another but I'm taking my sweet sweet time because I hear the 3rd is the hardest because you only have 2 hands. So I'm in no rush.. Here are a few pics from her birthday party that we celebrated on Sunday with family and friends. She is such a ham and I love this sweet little Addi to death, she is what makes me smile when I'm struggling with my 3 year old, but don't get me wrong she has here moments too.

Davaney didn't like the idea that her sister got a shiny new bike on her birthday. She wanted to ride it first.


what a QT!!!

she was so excited about this bike. She had been teasing davaney a couple days before with davy's bike, so we figured that would be a good present for her. She is still a little short and doesn't quite know how to work the peddles

BIRTHDAY CAKE

This is the flip flop cake I made for Addi's birthday, it was hard to come up with a theme for a 2 year old that doesn't like tv, so really I couldn't do a dora theme or pooh bear anyways she loves flip flops. and it was pretty easy.

these are the flower cupcakes I made for all the kids at the party, these were fun to make outline a flower in pink frosting put the mike an ikes for the pedals and the sucker for the center. They were a hit the kids loved them..
