Addy loves doing her chores. Feeding the chickens, getting Zeena and kitty (or as Addy says TiTi) fresh water and feeding the kitty cat are all on the list. She of course is a Raiders fan.

What can you do when the weather is crummy and you are bored inside?
Make Homemade Chocolate Chip Cookies! Addy is a pro at pouring. She doesn't like to eat the cookies but she does like the chocolate chips.

Addy on her bird exploration adventure!

Today we went to lunch in Mt. Carmel. It's about a fifteen minute drive that is beautiful. Daron had his camera and I was keeping a look out for raptors. I spotted a golden eagle almost immediately. Then we spotted some sort of hawk. Then we spotted a beautiful bald eagle! On the way back from lunch we saw the same bald eagle with (what we believe to be) a female bald eagle. It was so amazing. After taking a few more photos we saw another bald eagle high on a treetop and another hawk. Thank goodness there were no deer out because I was looking up much of the drive.

Addy visiting with the kitties at Morgan's Place.
I only wish my floors were as clean as the ones
at the cat houses at Best Friends! Angel, the beautiful black cat, is up for adoption and LOVES to sit on laps and bury his head in your arm. We also headed to the Rewind Diner for lunch with Medha and Kim. As soon as we walked in we saw Lisha and her sister and kids! Addy decided to sit with them so I took a picture from my booth. Ahh she is so grown up!

Today Addy and I went up to Best Friends to
walk with Kim. We saw Deer and Ravens but
no bald eagles. Bummer. Addy got to feed her
buddy Frasier a treat or two and then we visited
the cats that live in Morgan's Place (one of the
Best Friends cat houses).

Addy is decked out in her fitness gear with her music box. She loves to dance to "Old McDonald" and a few other nursery rhymes. We decided to go to the fitness center and practice some movement to music. Next week we will start a class for other Moms and Tots!

Baking muffins with Mommy. Sporting my Kitty Sweatshirt from Mommy and my Kitty shoes from Auntie Karen. I love my Kitty shoes and sweatshirt.

January 1, 2010 hiking in Utah. We saw a beautiful bald eagle. It flew so close to us that we could hear its wings flapping. January 2, 2010 hiking in Zion National Park. Addy, our friend Kim and I saw deer and a bighorn sheep.

Christmas morning on her new battery powered ATV. Daddy's idea :)
The pink outfit is a gift from Auntie Karen!


Daron wearing his new Beer Pressure (like Peer Pressure) from Auntie Lisa!
Zeena looking at me saying "Where is my gift? Where is my gift?" This is the first year in the 9 years we have had her that she hasn't had a present to open. What kind of mother am I?

The Andrews Family went on a Fast

Yes, Grammy and Grandpa Texas came for a visit Dec. 16 - Dec. 22nd. Little did they know we would all be fasting for the holiday. The stomach bug came through with a vengence. Addy was the first to experience it and then Grammy went down, Grandpa was next and Jen and Daron decided to get it overwith the same night. UGH. All I can say is thank goodness for two bathrooms. It has taken a good week to feel a bit better and no one wants a full meal yet. Needless to say, we didn't take too many photos. We did take some of Addy's new Kitchenette that Grammy and Grandpa gave her. We will post those soon!

Mimi, Grandpa and Aunt Lisa (or Sa Sa as Addy says) had a much better time on a cruise! We were so happy for them and so happy we weren't traveling to join them feeling the way we did!

Sa Sa just sent some photos! Thanks to Uncle Dan and Krista Lisa was able to leave her doggies behind and enjoy a nice Christmas! I LOVE the photo of Grandpa on the bed in his cabin. That is probably exactly where I would head on vacation - sleep!!!! Lisa and MiMi look wonderful and I can't wait to hear the stories.

Let it snow, Let it snow, Let it snow!
Awesome snow storm on December 7th 2009. Addy, Zeena, the chickens and I went out to enjoy the white world.

Karen made it in from Chicago despite the horrible weather and I picked her up in St. George and it took us a good two hours to drive back to Kanab but we made it!!! Addy got lots of Elmo gifts from Karen and she enjoyed having Karen read her her new books!!!

Addy LOVED the snow. In fact, I couldn't get her to come inside.

Ribbon found around the stray cats neck! Yikes.

A teenage cat came through our cat door last night much to our surprise. Ribbon tied tight around her neck, started to embed in the skin. He is friendly and happy to have the ribbon off! Now I need to find him a home or foster! Any help? We can transport across country :)

Our guest room was looking dark and drab so I bought a can of silver spray paint and went to town. I am sure I will be sick of it soon but for now it has a nice sparkly Christmas vibe!

Daron and Addy checking on the chickens and preparing for the 14 degree night. Yikes.
Addy loves Santa and she loves to carry him around and dance too. We have some video that Daron will have to upload of Addy and Santa dancing. She is getting more sassy and cute with each passing day. Yikes!


Addy is good friends with Santa. They are about the same size!
