BOY! I was thinking all a long that it was going to be a boy. This pregnancy has been
a little different than with Addi. We are all really excited. Brennon especially.

POLL
I thought it would be fun to do a poll to see what everyone thought that we are having.
Addi if you ask her always says a baby brother. I would be happy either way but
secretly am pulling for a girl. Brennon hopes it is a boy so will see.
We go next Tuesday the 17 to find out so I'll post the result then.

Fall 2009
FALL
I love fall and all that it brings; the leaves changing colors and the cooler weather. It even has a certain smell and feeling. We went with some of our friends and picked out some pumpkins at a place down the street. Addi was really excited about going to choose a pumpkin. She talked about it for days before we really went. We didn't get around to carving our pumpkins before Halloween. They sure look cute still sitting on our doorstep though. We'll keep them there till thanksgiving.
Fall also brings Halloween, and we had a great time this year. This year, Addi was actually aware of trick-or-treating and could not wait to go. She was watching a cartoon one morning and they were talking about trick or treating. She came running up to me and asked if we where going to go trick-or-treating and get some candy. So I explained how it all worked and she go so excited. I think hearing that they would put candy in her bag made her squeal with excitement. The night finally came and she got all fancied up in her clown attire, face painted and all. She looked so cute.
This Fall also brought a new sister-in-law to our family. My youngest brother Spencer got married to Mckell on October 1 this year. I forgot my camera so I don't have any picture from the wonderful event. Fall also brings the news of a new member coming to the Brennon and Hillaree Baker family in mid April. We are really excited. If you ask Addi what it is going to be she says, "a baby bwudda" (brother:)). We'll wait and see if she is right. We find out a week from this Tuesday. The picture below isn't that great, but I thought it was appropriate for the end of our post. We were at my mom's a few months ago and Mckell was rocking baby Dax back and forth on the stair. Addi saw her rocking and grabbed her baby and started rocking her baby like Mckell. It was so cute. She going to be a great big sister.

Summer 2009
We sure had a great summer this year. Since I haven't been blogging much lately, I thought I would do one big post, now that summer is coming to an end. It will officially feel like summer is over once Bren starts school next Monday.
AUGUST
We attended the Jones reunion and had a great time. I didn't have very many pictures to show for it.
Addi also turned 2 this month. Everytime she would see a bike she would tell me that she wanted to ride one. and I would have to tell her, "i'm sorry Addi, you don't have one to ride." So of course, that was the perfect gift for her birthday. Along with a new easel and many more fun prizes. She was in heaven when brennon walked in with the bike. She was very excited this year to blow out her candles and could hardly wait.
Addi also got her first hair cut. A big thanks to Aunt Kelsie for doing a fabulous job. I was a little worried that her curls would be cut off. That was definitly not the case as you can see in the picture.
JULY
Bren and I made a quick weekend trip to Las Vegas. We left Addi with her grandparents. We had a great relaxing time. We saw the Lion King while we were there , did some shopping, and spent some time walking the strip.
My mom let Addi and I join her on her trip to visit my Brother and his family in Georgia. We had a great time. I hadn't been out since they have lived there. Addi had a great time with her cousins. We had to pack the three carseats in the back of their van so that we could all travel together. I was not very good at taking pictures. Luckily, my Mom and Ali were. We did a lot of fun things while we were there, including touring the CNN center and going to a Braves game.
MAY-JUNE
Over memorial day we went to the zoo. Bren and I hadn't been there for a long time. Addi seemed to enjoy it but I think she will like it a lot more once she is one year older. definitly hope to make it a yearly trip.
In june we attended the manti pagent with bren's family.
I had never been. We had a fun time.

Too Big!
Addi is getting TOO BIG! She is not my little baby anymore. She has officially become a toddler. She is getting so smart and will mimic anything that you say (and with pretty good pronunciation). We are loving how much this BIG girl is changing and growing up.
Her hair is getting long enough for pigtails and I'm loving it even if she only keeps them in for a few hours.
She love, loves to wear my shoes around the house. She pulls every single pair out of my closet.
She is also becoming quite the computer whiz! She love to climb up on the computer chair and play with the mouse.
Also, Addi is turning into quite a BIG helper!

Rocking Horse
Some Friends of ours were moving and didn't want to take this rocking horse
with them since their daughter is too old to use it. It didn't look this good when we got
it. Origonally, it was painted white, with hand painted flowers and a painted on mane. Of
course, my dear husband forgot to take a "before" photo again so you aren't able to see the transformation. He seems to work on these sort of projects when I'm out of town and can't remind him to take pictures before he starts working on them. So I guess you'll have to imagine in your head what it looked like before. He took it all apart then repainted and stained it. Amazing what a little paint and stain can do. He also made a padded leather seat and then together we made the mane and tail out of thick yarn. This was one of Addi's Christmas presents but since we went home for Christmas it wasn't in any of our pictures. So I thought I would post it so my family could see it. I thought that it turned out great and Addi really loves it. She can get it rocking pretty hard, even to the point that it looks like it is going to tip over. While she rocks she repeats over and over "rockie, rockie."

Swimmin in the Snow
Over Christmas we went to a indoor pool to swim with Bren's Family. Addi hadn't gone since August. As soon as we got in she kept try to squirm out of my arms thinking that we as able to swim on her own. I'm excited to take her this summer..... we'll see how she does.
These two girls are so cute together. I had to make it bigger
because I thought it was such a good picture. (Brennon's sister's girl Lexie 14 months and
Addi 17 months)
She loved to climb out of the pool.
We got some water wings to see how she would do.
I think she is still a little too little.

Christmas 2008
I figured a blog update would be appropriate, seeing that it has been several months since our last post. We spent the holidays with our families in Idaho. It was a really relaxing and enjoyable break for us. All of the family was in town including Kelly, Ali, and their boys. It was so fun to see them. As you'll see from the slide show we've posted, we had alot of fun. Some of the Christmas activities included sledding behind the 4-wheelers, swimming at the hot springs, playing games, eating at our favorite restaurants, getting snowed in and drifted over, and just spending time catching up with friends and family. We finished out the year by getting together with several friends from the class of '03 for a New Year's Eve party. Now we're all settled back into our regular routine...Bren's back into another full semester of work and school and I'm trying to hold down the fort and keep up with our little busy bee.
