2 am and Addison doesn't even look tired.

Tonight we went to BBQ at one of the girls in Ryan's departments house. It was fun. Of course the best part was discussing The Twilight Series with Alicia now that shes finished Eclipse! I am so excited to have another person to obsess over Edward with me. ha ha!
We took some pictures of the girls. Its hard to believe how much bigger Abby is. Its hard to believe in just two months or so Addie will be just as big!! We really enjoy having friends who share so many of the same interests as us, especially the baby girls!



















Abby was very intrested in Addy! She just starred while Addie cried, it was too funny.

trying to plan labor day

We are trying to decide what to do for labor day... ANY SUGGESTIONS?
Now keep in mind i am realllllly out of shape and i have a six week old. Although we are contemplating going hiking (i think i am feeling up to it). My one must is that i will be in water in a swim suit with sun! These are the times i wish i lived in California, well these times and every other time.

If you know of some place great comment and let me know!

Addison 5 weeks old

My mom requested that i update my blog with the latest pictures of Addison, so here are some of our favorites.
Yesterday morning Ryan went to pick her up and said woah shes getting heavy! It unbelievable how fast she is growing! She is so much fun!

Party with mom!

I love this picture of the muffin asleep! She's pretty cute. Although she has been completely disinterested in taking a nap today. She got up around 10am and decided to hang out with mom ALLLL day. No matter what i tried (baths, bottles, nursing, the swing, swaddling etc) she was having way too much fun being awake. Finally around 7:45 pm she decided to take a nap!! Needless to say its been a long day. Although she is getting to be more fun and interactive everyday (i may be stretching on the interactive thing but let me have my delusions!)
We are keeping our fingers crossed for a good night tonight... That means she goes to sleep before 5:45.

Morgan wanted me to share this with you.

Yeah I totally bought this shirt.

I have to be the biggest dork ever.
But i have decided to embrace it.

Pictures from the Utah baby shower

Today Natalie e-mailed me some pictures from the baby shower she thre for me in Utah. My mom and I actually have a picture together AND its cute too! That is rare! Here are a few pics...

Yo Gabba Gabba!

How did I not know about this?



When I started going to Aquabats concerts in High School, I always saw the parents with their kids on their shoulders standing in the back singing along. I promised myself that when I became a parent, I would be just like them. So, when I was watching Nick Jr. with Addie today and saw some familiar looking monsters dancing around on the screen and Elijah Wood teaching kids how to dance I nearly fell off of the couch. This is the greatest show ever! Christian Jacobs (lead singer of the Aquabats) created the show, and it is full of all the things Ryan and I love so much about the Aquabats... it's like the show is as much for us as it is for her. Plus, it has guest stars like the lead singer from Devo, Elijah Wood, Tony Hawk, Biz Markie, The Shins, and Sugarland; we're stoked for the whole season, and can't wait to buy season one on DVD and it only just aired today! We are such hipster parents, haha!

SO WATCH THIS SHOW WITH YOUR CHILDREN. 10:30 am on Nick Jr.

P.S.
Soon as I find out how to screen-print onesies, we're set.

Gaspard is Edward Cullen

So now that i have finally succeeded in getting my sisters to read the Twilight series. I told Tracy (who is just obsessed with Edward Cullen as I am) That I would post the pictures of the actor they want to play Edward in the movie. This is Gaspard Ulliel a french actor (he played young Hannibal in Hannibal rising but everything else he is in is a french movie). He is perfect for the role! And after watching Hannibal Rising last night, i am seriously impressed by this high fashion model turned actor. He is beautiful AND he can act!

Ryan only agrees with the "and he can act" part but he does say that he dresses well.

On another note, I love that i can discuss this book with my sister for an hour over the phone and come to the conclusion that we love Edward. It's like being 15 all over again. And they ARE better than Harry Potter. Take that JK Rowling!

Babys first building implosion.

We woke up at 5:30 am this morning to head downtown and watch the implosion of the Key Bank building downtown. (not to sound like a total dork but) IT WAS SO COOL! Watching a 20 story building fall to the ground and then the big cloud of smoke. We had a perfect view from the roof of the Hilton . We were prepared to take video from our little digital camera but they actually blew up the building like 5 minutes early. It caught everyone off guard. But Addison didn't even flinch. It wasn't until we were leaving and i gently bumped her stroller into the side of the staircase on accident that she decided to wake up. We got a good laugh out of that. Although as we watched this 20 story bldg drop i reflected on 9/11 and realized i could never understand how traumatic that must have been. You would have had to of been there to truly understand. It put it into perspective for me though. And what i saw was a controlled fall of only 20 stories. Wow. I cant imagine.

well here ya go... (it is actually worth watching, its nuts)

our video blows! I won't even waste your time by posting it. haha.

Clayton Jay Plewe

That's Kelly, my oldest sister holding me when i was a baby and now shes just had her third BOY! It so much fun that we have children three weeks apart. I can't wait to meet the little guy.
He is so precious! Carter is so tiny even next to a newborn! Caden is the best big brother...AND KELLY IS THE MOTHER OF THREE BOYS. woah we are an old family now. It doesn't seem like enough time has passed to be here now. It's crazy.

I have a few more pics from last night!

Mommy's little fashionista!

Tonight Addison and I attended one of my old best friends weddings. I got to dress her up in her ballerina dress and let her wear a huge flower on her head. She looked adorable! I wanted to get picture with Addie and Victoria in her wedding dress but i didn't manage to do it but i did get one with Victoria after she changed and before she left! Victoria looked beautiful and the wedding was a lot of fun. I am really excited for Mr. and Mrs. Allen to be starting this adventure! Addison was a hit too and everyone kept saying she looked like an ann geddes baby! She sure is adorable.

Yesterday Ryan and I gave Addie a bath and unlike before she actually liked it! She kept trying to drink the water. It was adorable. Of course we are still in the take pictures of EVERYTHING phase so i have a bunch! But i will share one of our favorites.


Grandma Linda and Aunt Morgan were just here and i took some really cute pictures of them and i thought Grandma Linda would love to see them, so i am sharing!

We are really excited to have Mogo here and we are going to try and go to her scrimmage on Saturday against Weber State! (Mogo will have her own section of cheerleaders.)


I am having so much fun being a mom and i am not sure what i did with myself before she was here. I can't imagine my life without her. I am so completely in love with this little munchkin.











She's mommy's little fashionista!

3 weeks old!

Today Addie is 3 weeks old. I can hardly believe its been three weeks already. Everyday is flying by! She already looks so much bigger to me. She is rocking her new jean skirt and headband with a bling- she's so fashionable!<3

TAKING THE WORLD BY STORM

UTAH IS COMPLETELY SOLD OUT OF ECLIPSE!!! SAD!

Bath time!

Today we gave Addie her first real bath now that the creepy umbilical cord stump is gone. She was a lot more excited about this bath than the usual sponge bath. She really is the most well behaved baby. We are having so much fun with her.



Yesterday Kelly and Sarah Spiers came and visited with cousin Abigail. Abigail wasn't so sure how she felt about this little baby and being at her aunt and uncles (whom she doesn't see all that often). After Kelly showed her we "live at the park" and took her to play outside on the swings, she decided that Aunt Megan and Uncle Ryan weren't so bad. She enjoyed pointing at Addison and saying "Baby" but as soon as we paid attention to her she would quickly start crying and running to her mom. I hope maybe next time we see them she might remember us and we will be a little less scary. It was really fun to get to see Ryan's brother and wife and to get caught up.

It was nice to have people over now that our apartment looks a little more cozy even in spite of the cinder block walls. And we owe it all to LB Skeen and Doug E. Fresh (our interior designers).

The Muffin

My mom emailed me these pictures when we trying to decide who Addison looked like. Ryan is now convinced she is going to look like me. But with those monstrous feet and length of hers maybe she'll at least get her dad's metobolism and height.

Today Addie is 2 weeks old!

Today was Addison's 2 week doctors appointment. She had to get more blood taken but she is a pro at that now. They also weighed her and my child has almost gained an entire pound in a week! My doctor just said, obviously she is eating well and just keep doing what you re doing. Ryan and i got a good chuckle out of that.

So we decided to read Harry Potter as a family and finally last night WE FINISHED.( Tracy i can't wait to discuss the book with you) Let's just say, i feel a little empty inside. Fortunately the next book in the twilight series comes out on the 7Th!!!! I can't wait! I am really anxious to see what happens between Jacob and Edward. If you haven't starting reading Twilight yet, you need to get on it.

I am still trying to get the hang of this mom thing. She only woke up once last night, and that was awesome! But today i actually left the house with just Addison and me. We went and did a little shopping. I bought a few shirts and stayed away from pants and skirts completely. Its only been 2 weeks, i really don't want to depress myself. But as soon as i get the O.K. from Dr. Loewen i will start working out again and start feeling better. I had no idea how long it took to recover from pregnancy. Logically it makes sense but i suppose i was being delusional.





Keep your fingers crossed that tonight goes just as well as last night! I could really use some sleep. ( i have a feeling that is going to be the new motto)
