Addison's 1st Birthday 9-13-12

Today was a great day!! Addison and I started out by taking Gwen to preschool, then we went off doing what mommy does best.... Shopping!  When Gwen was done with school we headed off to meet daddy at Cafe Rio for lunch.  After lunch we meet up with some great friends at a local park and enjoyed some yummy pumpkin cupcakes!  Addison's 1 year dr. appt is next week, so I will update you on her stats when I get them.  

1st and 2nd day of Preschool

 Gwen's first day of preschool was really a meet and greet day.  Mommy and Addison got to stay with her the whole time.  She did however tell us that she was a big girl and that we could go.  

Here she is showing off her new backpack from Grandma Pam

 Cheese!

 Addison is ready to go too!

 Gwen's first day on her own.  ( we had to take a picture with her new purple bear)

birthday party #2, and #3

Yes, this is one spoiled little one year old.  AND she doesn't turn one until the 13th!

Labor Day weekend was 2 partys in one.  We had a small one just with my parents and us.  Addison got her first radio flyer scoot and go radio flyer.  

 The that Saturday we had the Kelly family and the Litz family come over to help celebrate her turning one.  It was a great time and Addison loved all the attention again!

fun times

In the 3 weeks that we've been in Utah the girls have done quite a lot.  We enjoyed some time at the Treehouse museum, Station Union, and of course the dinosaur park.

Hiking up at Snow Basin

Since these photos were taken we've been up to Snow Basin a couple of times.  The girls favorite part is the gondola ride.  Magnum on the other hand was not so sure about it.  We are absolutely loving the outdoor activities here in Utah.

Sweet as honey... cute as a bee....

We had an early birthday party for Addison here in Iowa, and she will also have another little one in Utah closer to her 'real' birthday.

The theme was bumble bees.

Happy 1st Birthday baby girl!  We love you soooo much!!
