Addison's a BIG GIRL NOW!!

She did it! Our little girl is growing up so fast. I spent three days with her to learn how to use the "big girl potty". It was more of a challenge for me to learn a little patience! And on day four she got it! We had to get a little creative...like painting on the potty and reading and bringing in her support system...her stuffed animals. It is now a whole new world for her. And for me a new conversation:) I am sure everyone wants to hear of Addisons "potty happenings". As a parent you are so proud. And I couldn't be happier.

Happy Holidays!! We hope you all are having a great holiday season.

We had a great time in Colorado visiting Grandma and Grandpa. They took such good care of us. We surely can't say that we didn't get fed well! Brad and I are on a strict salad diet until Christmas.

I found a great recipe for Sticky Toffee Pudding. It is a popular dessert in Europe. And not for the faint at heart! Here is the link...

If you want to wow a crowd this holiday season, try this one. I put a little whip cream on top also. The recipe doesn't ask for it but I thought why not go out with a BANG!

We wish you all Merry Christmas! This year sure did fly by.

Well its almost Thanksgiving... I think that it has been five months since we last posted. So finally, for those of you who are sick of seeing "Our First Tomato", here is something for your eyes to feast!

We had a great summer. The tomato's were amazing and the time flew by. We kept very busy with our jobs and playing with Addison. She discovered the Zoo and the Farm this year. It is fun to take her places and see her get so excited. This is what life is all about. Spending time with loved ones and forgeting the stresses of life. We had a few milestones this summer too. Addison said goodbye to her Binky and graduated to a "big girl bed". And our baby girl finally turned two.

Our Fisrt Tomato!!

Here it is. Our first tomato free of Sal Manila. I thought I had gone a little over board buying 15 tomato plants. I am glad I did. You can never have to many.

Duckies

Isn't that sweet! We thought we would take addison to feed the duck's close by our house. Once we mentioned the idea, she wouldn't let us forget. She had so much fun watching the duck's and eating the bread. It might take a few times for her to realize that the bread is for the ducks! I love this picture. This is a classic picture of our little daddy's girl.

My First Water Park

Here is Addison visiting Grandma & Grandpa Wright. We went to check out the new water park in St. George, and addison loved it!! She was a little scared by the other kids screaming, but soon realized they were having fun and screaming! What a concept!
