Just Because

I haven't posted a picture of Addison in a while. I love this little one. She brings me so much joy and frustration at the same time. How does that work exactly? Anyway she is getting so big and fun, more fun each day. Her favorite things are the cat, her dad, Ni Hoa Kilan, Wonderpets, Roxy (Maryina's Dog), dancing and running laps around the living room furniture. So funny.

Eruption Cyst...

Addi has been so crabby the last couple of days and I couldn't figure it out. I have been busy doing Christmas stuff, and just thinking she is not getting enough attention. Then my mom watched her on Tuesday and suggested that she might be getting her first molars. I know this stuff!!!...I've been a Dental Assistant for 10 years! I didn't even think she could be teething and getting her first molars yet. So I did what any strange person that likes to look in peoples mouths did and jammed my fingers up there and sure enough its not only teething she has a huge eruption cyst/hematoma on her upper left. It looks SO painful. And there is nothing I can do about it... I hate this part. No antibiotics, nothing. Her little body will take care of it on its own. Yuck. I feel helpless and neglectfull. I know this stuff, but it doesn't make me feel any better.

My house is in shambles....

I love the Christmas Season. I start listening to Christmas music in October. I love it, it makes me happy, in kind of a serial killer sort of way but...happy non the less. But I am seriously thinking of bagging the tree, wreaths, ornaments, nativity etc.. that I have and cherish. A one year old and glass ball ornaments do not mix. The tree is already up and the lights strung but that is as far as I've gotten. Its either me chasing the cat from under the tree from destroying the presents or keeping Addi out of the BINS of decorations that are strewn around my house. I'm supposed to have a cheerful attitude about the whole thing. I feel guilty for not loving this. At my wits end with the decorations is not a good place to be. On top of it I am doing neighbor gifts, family gifts, pie, turkey, and a gazillion family parties to attend and the ward clerk HASSLING me about tithing settlement? Seriously he called twice yesterday to set up an appt. I ignored him the second time. He probably would have been the person to sling my wrath upon but I refrained. so proud
I want to start a fire in my back yard and throw every Christmas decoration/thing in it and laugh hysterically. Does no one feel the same way I do?

Happy Anniversary, and GO UTES!

Just so you know I have an amazing husband who traded UTAH vs BYU tickets for a night away with his lovely wife.
It is our sixth anniversary today and I love being married to this amazing man. Not that we agree on everything and get along all the time. I love him deeply and couldn't imagine being married to anyone else. Heath is my best friend, a wonderful husband and a great daddy. He puts up with alot of nonsense and nagging. ( yes, I admit I nag! ) So happy anniversary honey.

And to all you damn BYU fans, give me my Utes flag back! #$%!@(*

Chicken Pox, a wedding, and company

Whew.... I'm already tired just thinking about this week.
When Addi got her one year check up she was inoculated with the Viricella vaccine aka the chicken pox. She got a case on the vaccine related chicken pox, which by any measure is mild in comparison to what all of us went through. She is doing great a slight fever, 50 or so little pimples on her shoulders and arms, and wakes up at night. I hate it when she isn't 100%.


Annie was married this weekend, It was a fun but busy day. A wonderful sealing/ceremony and a really fun reception (as far as they go) It was great to see family that came from all over to support her and our family. My Aunt Lisa came from Mesa to stay with us for the weddin' it was great to visit and I am so glad she was there to help us at the reception. Thanks Lisa. It was very exciting to have something to work on with my mom and sister but I am glad it is over with.

Sooo Big....

Addi went to her One year doctor exam today. Everyone has been asking how tall she is and how much she weighs, well.... she is as big as a 2 year old. Height 31.5 inches 99th percentile, weight 24.5 lbs 93rd percentile. I cant remember how many cm her head was but it is in the 7th percentile. Big girl, small head. No wonder my back hurts!

Cake

Addi enjoyed her Birthday cake for about 30 seconds and then was more interested in rubbing it in her hair and throwing it off the tray. Kinda anti-climatic for mom. oh well that's life. Notice the change of clothes. Yeah....right before the cake, she did a show for everyone and puked up a piece of roll . Nice.
