So the last time I wrote, I wrote about the the birth of our first daughter and child. Don't worry I'm not about to update for number 2.
So Addison was born in October, lost of exciting things happened the following months. Addison has been through so many experiences since she was born. Experiences she'll never remember. She had her first trip to Snowflake a couple weeks into November, right before Thanksgiving We also took our first family pictures that weekend with my family. That was fun. It was freezing in Snowflake. She went to meet her grandpa, and her Flake aunts and uncles since she was in the ICU they couldn't really meet her or hold her. That was actually the first time we saw Addison smile too! :)
The following weekend was Thanksgiving. Addisons first :)
That weekend she also went to the state play off game for Snowflake high school. She pretty much slept through everyone cheering and yelling! The next day was her blessing day. It was a beautiful day, and her daddy gave the best blessing. After the blessing we had everyone over for spanish food at my grandparents house. We both have big families, and it was a lot to prepare for but it was so fun to have so many people come and celebrate our little Addisons blessing day.
2 days later Aaron and I left her for the first time for a few days and went to Disneyland and California adventures. Aaron had given me tickets for Valentines day, but we had just found out we were pregnant so we waited till after she was born to run off and play! We left Addison with her Grammy and Grampy Bey. It was hard to be away from her for so long, but I think it was much needed for Aaron and I. It was nice to get away and spend a little time with out her. It just so happened we went during my birthday as well so it was perfect timing. It was really hard to be away from Addison for so long, but we loved spending some alone time together as well.
(Don't mind my hair or face it rained the entire time we were there)
We went up Tuesday December 2nd, and then spent the day Wednesday and Thursday and came home Thursday. It was a quick trip, but it was so fun. 2 days after we got home Aaron left for 10 days to do some work to get us some money to start saving. We had just made the decision to move into Aarons moms house in Buckeye so that Aaron could go back to school. That was the longest ten days of my life. I was a single mom for a week and I would never wish that upon anyone. That is really hard. I was so excited to have Aaron home when he was done!
Aaron has decided to go back to school to become a Pharmacist. Since he already has his Bachelors, he only has 2 semesters and a summer to get all the classes he needs to get ready to apply for pharmacy school. With him going back to school full time and us having a baby we felt like the best choice would be to move in with his mom and save some money. After Aaron came back we moved out of our first home and into his moms houses. We had plenty of family parties and then celebrated Christmas in Snowflake with my parents. I'm so bummed. I was so bad at getting pictures of Addisons first Christmas, in fact I didn't get any :(.
New Years eve was spent at the Vizio Bowl for U of A and the Boise Idaho Broncos. Aarons mom, DeAnn and step dad Gary picked us up from there and we ran to the Brian Regan show for our night entertainment. It was a full day, but so fun!
That weekend was Aaron and I's FIRST Anniversary. On Friday (the 2nd) I gave Aaron Suns tickets. We went and watched the game and got Red Robin before. We LOVE Red Robin. DeAnn was super sweet and watched Addison for us. The next day (3rd) we got messages, probably wont ever do that again haha. We didn't even get to share a room that was lame. Got ourselves t-bell and stayed home so Aaron could watch the Cardinals play off game. It was a fun little weekend!
The Weekend of Valentines day we went to Prescott to watch Aarons cousins state Wrestling Championship game. It was fun. We went Friday night hoping to get a hotel and celebrate our valentines weekend too, with us waiting till last minute we didn't get a hotel and ended up having to drive back to Buckeye and then Drive back to Prescott the next day to watch the championship. Since we didn't get to celebrate Valentines day we are doing a little "getaway" in March to celebrate and spend some time alone. Living with 8 other people and having a daughter so I guess 9 other people you don't get tons of alone time so we are excited for that.
As I said before, Aaron is going back to school for Pharmacy school so we are in Buckeye living.
We both are substitutes for Buckeye Elementary School district which has been perfect for me since I'm going to school to be a teacher. The last 2 weeks we have had a long term sub position. It is a lot harder to go to a classroom that isn't your own and take over!
Aaron has bad Allergies out here and we think Addison got his allergies because she has been coughing and every once in a while has a clear runny nose. I keep hoping it gets better but i'm worried its not. If its not better soon we will have to go see a doctor.
Over Presidents day we went on a Hike to Tonto Natural Bridge with my family. It was fun but we took a crazy scary way (without knowing it) and Aaron held on to Addison for dear life. It was scary but fun to get out and hike and enjoy the nice weather.
Aaron, Addison, Me, and my family

As you can see the hike was scary....
The Natural Bridge
Addisons first 4 months of life have been exciting to say the least. She's been to the movies at least 6 times, been to state football and wrestling championship games, and hiking. Been babysat for several days by her grandparents, we recently let her suck on popcorn, frys, and even tasted a chex muddy buddy!
