Summer gone...(sigh)

I have been slacking in the blog area for awhile so it's time to catch up :) Summer is officially over, and it's actually looking like fall is going to be over here soon. The snow is creeping up on us as we speak. I would say it's "sneaking" but it's actually the opposite as the stark contrast of white makes its unholy way down the mountains...We just got to see my beautiful niece Kali be baptized a few weeks ago, and Lee turned 28 yesterday! So, our fall has been eventful! We also had a fun summer full of fishing, company, and a fun trip to Dallas! We also got to go to New Orleans to visit family while we were there and Tyler and Amanda drove down to see us!! We had a fun time and we were so happy we got to see them. We've missed them a lot since moving from Idaho! My niece Abby is adorable and we got some cute pictures of the cousins together. We only got to see them for a day, but it was better than not seeing them at all so we'll take what we can get :)

Addie is growing like a weed and is actually officially nine months old today. I can't believe how fast time flies! She's still in the 95th percentile for height and her head circumference is off the charts so she's a big girl :) :) She has two teeth and she's a crawling machine. She's also getting pretty fast at walking along furniture so we think actual walking isn't too far off. I'm not sure I'm ready for that. She almost took a step by herself today. She's funny because she stands up by herself without holding onto anything all the time and just stands there balancing. As soon as she realizes no ones holding her up she slowly and carefully lowers herself to the floor. She learned really fast that she hates falling down :) She makes me laugh more and more everyday. She has some really funny little quirks and has become SO noisy over the last few weeks. We're starting to train her to hold her little finger up when we ask her how old she is so she'll be able to do it by January :) Too bad she doesn't like to perform. She'll ignore you when you ask her how old she is and then we'll find her holding her finger up by herself for no reason :) I love that little turd so much it hurts :) She's so fun, and as much as I loved her as a baby, this next stage is gonna be a blast! I can't wait to do little girl things with her!

We're still waiting for a job, but it's all kind of in a stand-still for a bit. We were thinking of going back to Idaho but decided to stick it out till spring because some things here are looking promising, so we'll see what happens. Now we're gearing up for winter, halloween (Addie is going to be addorable/hilarious as a skunk because she's a stinker ;), and Christmas! My favorite time of year by far! The only thing bad about the holidays is the calories :) :) Hope all is well with all of you! Take care!

Here are some pictures from our summer!
