So around midnight last night I went to bed. Of course Drew always falls asleep as soon as his head hits the pillow. I on the other hand take at least 10 min to fall asleep (yes, even when I'm not pregnant! It's awful!). A few minutes after I was in bed I see this bright flash of light! I wake up Drew cause I'm afraid that some big truck or something just hit our house, I am all worried and check on the baby who of course is fast asleep. He tells me I was just seeing things or just dreaming it. Well low and behold we find this article on KSL this morning:

Drew IM's the above link to me and writes: "and I just thought you were going crazy!" Turns out I'm not that off my rocker. Apparently, it was seen from southern ID, UT, Vegas and parts of CA.

Tahoe: Labor Day weekend
I just got these pictures this weekend as well and just have to post a few...especially since Addie had several "first's" on this trip. I am only posting picture of me that have the Addie girl in it...I can't believe I was once that big! Man am I glad that pregnancy weight leaves quickly (well most of it anyway...) I hope whenever we have another one, I don't get the water weight again...that was just torture!!!!
Drew and I took Addie on her first hike. I wanted tocarry her all the way...and I successfully did it! (Although
my body wasn't thanking me for the next few days...dang c-section!)

Addison's Blessing Day
We were blessed to be surrounded by friends and family during the second weekend of October to celebrate Addison's blessing. We had friends and family come from near and far to celebrate this special day. Addie was blessed in the dress that her Great-Great Grandma Lattin (my mom's grandma) made for her Great-Grandpa Tom (my mom's dad) when he was baptized (they were not members of the church at that time) almost 90 years ago. It has since been worn by his brother, my mom, aunt, myself, my sisters, and now Addie. My mom purchased another bib and bonnet when my sisters and I were blessed since the original bib was getting too fragile. She also wore my peral necklace that my Grandma gave me for my blessing day. Drew's mom purchased little booties for her to wear and then I got a bracelet with Drew's mom to be passed down from Drew and I. Thank you to everyone who was able to come or who made an effort to send along their wishes! You made the day even more meaningful.
Monica, Rachel, Natalie and Isaac(Monica and Natalie were roommates with my sisters;
they are basically part of the family!)
Kory and Isaac Calmes(Monica's husband and baby; they are also in our ward!
He and Addie have lots of play dates!)

Two milestones in one week!
Tuesday 11/3: Rolled over for the first time by herself (stomach to back) while being awake! Drew wasn't home so I tried to catch it again on camera, but after 20 min of it, she was done with being on the floor. In the last few days when I've put her in her chair, if I don't angle her just right, she will start to lean and if she lands on the pillow, she now starts to roll. Maybe we'll have to get the bumbo thing instead of putting her on the chair since she's now mastered rolling. Hopefully she'll roll over for the camera one of these days.
Thursday 11/5: Able to hold a toy in front of her face and pick it up on her own! Drew's brother texted the picture to us since we weren't there to see it. Too bad I didn't give him the video camera for today to capture it there too!

I get to go to CA tomorrow for my friend Jackie Ball's wedding. There I hope to get the pictures taken from Addie's blessing and will post when I return. Oh and we'll do Halloween pix as well. =)

Some October Fun
Over the past month we have had a lot of fun with our Addie girl. She was blessed this month, but my sister was the photographer and those pictures are still being touched up. It is amazing how much she has changed not only since she was born, but just in the past few weeks! We love this little gal and are truly grateful that we have her in our lives.
I asked Drew to put away the laundry and watch the baby...He called me a few minutes later and this is what I got.
We went to Gardner's Village. My parents have more picturesof just her which I will post once I get them.
I have recently gotten into sewing. Here is my first baby blanket.I also made a matching burp cloth. The picture of Addie and the binki
as an arm rest is another blanket that I made for her.
She is learning how to roll over. She can do it in her sleep no problem.Here she is mid process. Of course the camera had to die and I didn't
have the charger so I couldn't get a shot of the final result.

Addison's 1 month pictures
Our friend Whitney Asay was king enough to take her one month pictures. Sadly Addison was not very happy that day so had to use the binki and got some very interesting expressions. But, I still think that they turned out great. She still looks like a newborn here. After looking at these, it really shows me that my precious newborn has officially become a little baby. My how time flies by when you have a child.

Fall Fun
Since we went on our travels with our families, we have enjoyed having time with Addison around the house. She just had her two month appointment last week and here are her stats:
Height: 23.5" (75%)
Weight: 11 lbs (56%)
you would have seen her cooing and laughing away.

Drew's work...he has been quite busy at the Flash as of late. He was promoted in August to Director of Public Relations and Game Operations. This new job has brought quite a bit of responsibility for him and although we don't see him a whole lot throughout the week, we are so proud of this new position for him! This position was vacant for three months so there is a lot to catch up on. Once the season starts, we will barely see him, except when we are at games. But we are truly proud of him for this advancement!Shannon just had surgery on her ACL. The weekend before Addison was born, Shannon was at a boating activity with her ward and a boy was flirting with her and pushed her off the boat. Well it was at Utah Lake which is quite shallow. She ended up tearing her ACL and just had the surgery. Here is Addison keeping her company a few days after it.
We have some fun videos of Addison, but because I haven't gotten my computer yet and Drew is at work late and has his computer with him, so they haven't been uploaded yet. But I am supposed to have my new computer within the next week in a half. So once it comes, I'll post those
