Nothing More Precious.....

Nothing more precious than a father daughter bonding time. Addi woke up from her nap and came and laid on Chase's chest and fell back asleep I just couldn't resist getting the camera.

President's Day Weekend

This is a tradition we have had for 10 years and counting.. We get together with my Fathers best friends from High School. The Hegstroms from Twin Falls Idaho and the Twitchells from Helena Montana. We have a blast my parents have a tube hill that they convert into a louge they also have a straight away that is very fast. Davaney took a few trips down the louge whether she wanted to or not her grandpa just pushed her without a choice once it was over she had a lot of fun. Addi went down about 4 times and with the same way grandpa had to push but she loved it. I was saddened I didn't have my camera out there when they did and when I had the camera they refused to go down the hill.

This is Dallin he is amazing he went up and down this tubing hill more than 100 times I swear every time I looked down the hill there he went.

Chase had a blast he said forget the snowmobiles that was nice to hear.

See that speck that was Davaney going down the straight away on a saucer.

Addalyn was a great spectator for the most part.

Getting the train ready for take off, this time we had 6 tubes whether we made it down all the way or not I can't remember..

Trying to keep those darn gloves on.

Can you tell I was just hoping I was going to make it out alive.

Daddi and Davaney No they did go down this time davaney would have killed.

I'm still alive

Ok so it just took Lake Rhodes to call me and tell me to update my blog already.. I have been bad at this lately. Here is a little update on the past holidays. Thanksgiving was great went to Utah with Chases family and had Thanksgiving there. Good times!! Christmas was an experience in its self we had two sick little girls that morning it was not the morning I was hoping for. I was more excited for them to open their gifts until Davaney woke up at 3:00 in the morning with the flu. We were done for. Addi woke up at 5:00 with it as well. So it was a very relaxed morning they were trying very hard to enjoy christmas inbetween running to the sink. We just stayed home and Lynn and Melanie came to visit. We didn't have our traditional Prime Rib dinner on Christmas we had to wait until the next in hopes we didn't come down with it. Chase and I didn't get it until that next monday so we were spared for the weekend which was nice. Here are a few Christmas pictures:

This is the day after christmas when they were feeling top notch. We went out to my parents house so they could open their gifts and we had our yummy traditional dinner prime rib. So photogenic aren't they?

Her Hair is finally getting long enough so I can put ponytails in I love it she doesn't get called a boy anymore.

Here Davaney wasn't feeling so hot. Every once we would ask her how she was feeling and she would say "mom I'm feeling ok." It was the saddest thing I just wish it could of happened another day but what do you do right?

These are the cute chairs that I found at Shopko right after Thanksgiving they were quite a buy.

This pic was Christmas Eve it hadn't hit her yet..

Playing in the leaves in the front yard

This is Addalyn covering Davaney in the leaves and they both loved it

Cousin Casuree playing at our house

Throwing the leaves in the air this is the first year Addalyn played in the leaves and she loved it. She was laughing at her sister.

What a face!! I can't believe how fast they grow up

Addalyn bumped her head and that is why she has an indent in her forehead. It has now disappered so no worries. Life is full of bumps and bruises especially when they are young.

Trick or Treat

Halloween 2008

Davaney and Addalyn were our little poodles this year. It was pretty cute to see them walk (waddle) to the doors with the tails swishing back and forth. They definitly had their overhaul on candy that night. We just walked down the street and Davaney said "Ok that is enough I'm ready to go home." I thought that was great the less candy the better..

Great Grandparents

Family Pictures with Great Grandpa Stevens.

He wasn't doing well at the time so we took an emergency trip down to Boise to see him.

He's been in a Nursing Home for Rehab.

Was good to see him and let him know that we love him..

We hope he can stay with us for a long time.

What a cute couple
Aunt Kara's babies (dogs), Addi and Davaney were in love with them

OH the joys of PRETEND
