Addaly's first commercial

(cute Madi)

(Andrew was such a stud!)

(All of the cute kids. Doodle, Madi, Emma, Andrew & Keegan)

Addaly had the opportunity to record her first (and I say first only because this kid is my future rock star dancer girl!) commercial for KSL. She along with her cousins did an amazing job! When Doug and I listened to it for the first time it brought tears to our eyes! It will be playing on KSL radio for the entire patriotic season!

Hair Bows!

A girl can really not have too many hair bows! Especially when there all in at once!

This is what happens when a certain 3 year old refuses to go in her bed for a nap or doesn't think she even needs a nap!! Little stink!

Happy 3rd Birthday Addaly Doodle!

(all dressed up minus her cute birthday outfit!)

(ok so the cake only looks good from a far! The bottom wasn't tall enough so I had to do some fixing at the last minute!)

I can't believe that Addaly is already 3! Time has flown by! When she woke up on her birthday she asked "Mom am I 3? How come I'm not 2 anymore?" The kid is too funny! She is so smart! Learning new things all the time! Saying the most hilarious things and knowing the right time to say them! She has brought so much joy in our lives! We love this little girl tremendously!

We took her to see Toy Story 3 ( we've been telling her we would take her since it came out on her actual birthday!) she loved it, and so did us adults. Then back to our house for presents, pizza, cake and ice cream! In that exact order! She was dying to open her presents! Of course she was spoiled rotten by her Grandmas, Grandpa, aunts and uncles! They all knew exactly what to get her, more princess stuff!! The whole day was great! She loved every minute of it!

Happy Birthday our little doodle bug! We love you so much!

Were Keeping Our Fingers Crossed!!

So this week has been completely miserable and it's only Wednesday!! The only this that is getting me through is HOPEFULLY by the end we will be holding a sweet baby!! Doug and I have been struggling with infertility and didn't realize the severity of it until about 9 months ago. We had been trying to conceive for about 13 months before that. I saw my regular OB ( who is seriously the best!) who helped us figure out what the problem was. We went through 6 artificial insemination's, that were obviously unsuccessful! We were referred to a fabulous reproductive care doctor. Doug and I went through extensive testing. We went through 2 more artificial insems, and still no success. Which has lead us down the road we are on now. It is exciting, frustrating and emotional all at the same time! We have started our first (and hopefully last for a little while) IVF cycle. It's exciting because we have a plan and the chances for getting pregnant will be greater! But then there is always the chance of it not working and having to do it all over again! I'm not sure how much more my body can handle, not to mention my family! Poor Doug and Addaly have had to suffer the rath of my emotional ups and downs. Doug has been fabulous! He has been so great to give me my 3 shots a day for the last week, take care of me when I don't feel well, and listen to me when I cry over the smallest things! For the last 2 weeks I have had to visit the doctors office every other day, up until this week. This week I have gone every day.They do an ultrasound and blood work to monitor the way my follicles are growing. We are so close but not quit where we need to be. He has increased my medications several times and were keeping our fingers crossed that Saturday will be the big day to take them out!! They will wait 3-5 days depending on the embryos to put them back in. So please send your prayers this way! We want more then anything to hold a baby in our arms and for Addaly to be a big sister!

Poor Edna

Poor Edna Maxine! This is what you get when you have 8 headbands, Addaly and Edna! She's a good sport to let this happen! She and Addaly are the best of buds! Addaly loves this puppy so much! Anytime you get mad at the dog, Addaly is right there to defend her!
