What a month! Addison is learning so much so fast these days. I know I say that every time I blog but it's crazy to me how fast the times fly. With the weather warming up we have started to do small walks and eating outside and fun stuff like that. Last weekend we had Crystal take us down to pillar falls in Twin Falls. It was so pretty and so fun, okay the hike was not fun but being down in the canyon was very fun. I packed my camera down and so I demanded that we take some pictures, now I know what your thinking, really Kelsey you packed the camera down? but yes for a girl who doesn't get much physical activity and all of a sudden had to hike down a canyon wall, yes I did PACK a camera down. We got some great family pictures so it was well worth the extra pound.

 Addison wasn't very thrilled with us when we stuck her feet in the water, maybe it had something to do with how cold the water was, weird I know.
 Addi hates the sun in her eyes so we decided we should buy her some sun glasses to see if it would help her. They don't stay on long enough for her to find out but that's okay because some day she will keep them on and if not we got some totally cute pictures of her shades.
 Crystal and Doug built a fire and we roasted marshmallows after the hike and of course dad had to give Addi some, and as all kids are with marshmallows, she was a mess and got it everywhere. Needless to say it was sugar so she loved it.
We also got to see cousins the weekend before that. Addison was so excited that she was finally the big one and could grab baby Lincoln. She might as well enjoy it while she can because I don't think she will be bigger for too much longer. 

 Mothers day was also fantastic. Doug helped Addi make me a finger painting while I was getting ready for the day. He would dip her hands in the paint and let her go to town on the paper. Addison loves paper and loves to crinkle it so she must have known she was leaving marks on the paper because it survived with only minor crinkles on the corners. It made my whole day to see it and how well she had painted herself and the kitchen as well. It is her first artwork hung on the fridge.

As we were taking these pictures Grandma and Grandpa Hurst were talking about how on the blog Addi was always eating something at their house so keeping to tradition... Addison loves ice cream sandwiches that grandma gave her for dessert.


Sometimes I will take a billion pictures of her because I think she is doing something crazy so I pull out my camera and so she decides not to do it any more so I just start snapping because well the camera is out and she is cute so why not. I always get some of the cutest pictures though because she is so happy and will just smile because I smile. She is such a happy baby and she makes my days amazing.

Well it is official, my baby is six months old. I keep telling her she can't grow up but to prove that she can she decided to cut a tooth. She is growing so fast and Doug always says how aware of everything she has become. We absolutely love having her and watching her grow.


For Easter we went to Grandma and Grandpa Hurst's house for an Easter egg hunt. Doug thought it would be fun to make her bunny ears, we eventually got a whole bunny suite fashioned out of a warm jumper and a pair of socks. Lucky we did it because it was kind of cold that night so I didn't have to worry about a big annoying blanket to keep her warm, the bunny suite did the trick.
This probably isn't the most accurate picture of how she really felt about it.

Moving to Burley has been so fun just because I think we have seen more family in a month and a half then in our whole married lives combined. That's probably an exaggeration but not by much. We spent some time with Utahna's family over conference weekend. The babies were so cute squealing and grunting at each other.
 Jordan also stopped on her way through to Boise. Piper didn't want much to do with Addi until I let her hold her, then she thought she was pretty fun, and we got a couple of really cute pictures, they are so fun.



Addison has started on solid foods and I think it is the best part of her day, she shakes from excitement every time I try to give her a spoonful.Her favorite is definitely ice cream.

 She likes gummy worms too.
 Her dad's favorite is giving her a gummy worm mustache and watching her lick it.
You would think with all the sugar she gets she would be able to keep up with those cousins but I guess not.

We absolutely love this little girl and all the fun she brings with her.
