Wow just a couple of months behind! Here is how Arpil ended!

This is Bosten our really great friends the Nichols little baby girl! Addy Loved laying next to her, she was soo sweet and tender with Bosten she just kept staring at her!

Addy's Easter outfit! I bought the hat for $1 and redecorated it to match her Easter dress!



Two Updo's I was grateful to get for their Prom night, I just love doing updo's they are my favorite!
We were able to go see Elmo in concert! Addy LOVED seeing them at a distant, BUT the second they got too close to her she began to wine and get nervous, silly girl! I can only imagine how she would have reacted if one of them had touched her!

We were one row from the back from the front row...it was so cool to see it up close and personal!
I had to get a picture with her Elmo balloon, the second we got out side a big gust of wind came
by and the balloon started attacking Addy, she started screaming and crying and I had to carry her down a huge flight of stars with Elmo balloon on one side and Addy on the other along with all the other crap I drag around! The when we got it home she managed to get it stuck in the highest part of our place and 15 days later it floated down, there is quality for ya!

This was the little girl sitting in front of us that Addy befriended!

Her special Elmo Flash light!



I was so amazed to see this in the yard aren't they beautiful, it is near impossible to
grow anything with the water here in Vegas!

Artichokes anyone! There were so many they broke the plant because they were to heavy to hold it up!

Dance dance dance!
My sister in law Kaeli showed me how to make tutu's, I LOVE how this one turned out, I still
want to dress up the tutu's a little more, but Addy LOVE'S wearing them especially
when other girlfriends come over to play! We gave one away to Paisley to remember us by because they both wore the tutu's around almost the entire time they were here at our place, it was supper cute, they jumped on the auto-man like is was the best trampoline ever! We miss you Paisley, A TON!



Here is a kiss to all of my family!

Park day!



I posted a couple of the routines her teacher has her do, she just loves her Princess Dance class
and getting all dressed up to go!


She couldn't quite make it down the mate, she kept rolling off or smashing her face into the mate
but as you can see regardless she keeps on smiling!



Random project yogurt candy pretzels and suckers!

An Unexpected Longer Stay!

Happy 4th of July!

So a weekend visit to Arizona turned out to be a little over a week long Vacation, thanks to this Nero Doc! Art called in and was told he didn't need to come in until Mon. N-I-C-E! So we were able to go to Sunsplash one evening, movies, family time, church, + Addy and I were able to get some fun time up at my parents cabin with some of my family! Addy had a blast playing with grandparents, uncles n aunts, and cousins, swimming and coloring! Then up at the cabin she went on several rides on the Ranger with her grandparents, uncle John and Lottie! Then on the 4th she was in Payson's 4th of July Parade riding on our decorated Ranger all dolled up! After returning to Mesa we went over to My Uncle Curt's house for a 4th of July swim party and then we got front row seats to the Fireworks show, she was a little nervous and scared at first but then really started enjoying them! It was a nice, relaxing, unexpected break from Vegas! Thanks to all our Family that made our stay a great one!

This is my Wonderful Papa Hatch!

This is my Amazing Nana Hatch!

This was Eater Morning, Mom & Dad hide a bunch of Easter eggs and gifts for me to find!

This Is me and one of my FAVORITE cousins Lexie and my Incredible Gamma Connie who helped me decorate eggs for the first time EVER! Plus I surprised my mom and dad and counted to ten for the first time EVER...I counted all of my eggs I decorated!

This is another sweet cousin, Mackenzie!

Lexie gave me the BEST ride ever on this neet stick thingy...I giggled and laughed so much she just kept flyin me around the room on it, I was in horsee heaven!

Mom said that Lexie could come down sometime this summer and stay with us so that I could have an amazing summer! WOO HOO!

I just loved putting on a big girl apron and having my gamma help me color some eggs!

We even got to go to Aunt Kathy's Baby Shower! I was a BIG helper, I just wanted to help Kathy open her gifts, she had a Ton and well I just knew I could help her out!

This is my Uncle Ross, Aunt Margo and of course Lexie and me!

Can ya tell I like posing!

We had Aunt Hannah come over to Gamma Connies too, I just love Hannah, she just graduated from BYU and wanted to make sure we got a little time with her on our Busy adventure!

This was the COOLEST BIKE, I kept on trying to ride it, but I think it was too small or something!

We also got to go and visit Gandpa & Gamma Baird. I especially liked picking the walnuts off of their trees and eating the magic nuts inside!

This is Sweet Gamma Baird & Uncle Scott, he was staying with my grandparents, but he lives in Alaska!

This is my oldest living Papa, he is soo very sweet and kind, isn't he a cutie!

Addy Update!

Everything went so smoothly with her endoscope and colenoscapy! She came out of her anesthetics fast, she had no long term damage from the probing and biopsies, and everything looked great internally! The Doctor gave me a call on Friday to inform me that he found that she is having an allergic reaction to something, what we are not sure of, but it is a start, and that she possibly suffers from irritable bowl. The Doc is sending us to an allergy specialist and possibly to a urologist! But for the most part she is only having pain occasionally here and there, yeah and the major testing is over with! Thank goodness!

Thank you for your prayer and comments, I can Honestly say I felt them through out it the whole day, I had a wonderful friend offer to come and was a blessing and answer to a prayer, she helped me relax, and entertained Addy and just from all the little miracles I saw and felt, thank you, thank you my prayers were answered and I know it was because of all of your help, support and prayers!

Yeah I can post pictures again, This is from back in April!

This is the very first Tutu I made with the help of Peggy and Kathy H.

Doesn't she just look ADORABLE! Don't worry there are TONS more of her in her

dance atire coming soon!

She went through a phase were all she wanted to wear were her swim suits and lia-tards!

This is Addy's cousin Nathan, whom we get to see every couple of months, they

are wonderful family that live right here in Vegas!

This is Nathan's mother, Ryann, and sister, I just adore my cousin Ryann, she is one of the sweetest, giving, and incredibly loving people I know!

I love this one Addy is laughing cause she is tickling her own feet while cleaning them!

Here is our favorite little guy Sam he came over one day and got to play with Addy for hours, they had a blast!

I loved their faces in each of these pictures, they did not want to get out of the crib, Sam kept mimicking what ever I would say, he really liked it when I would say YEE HAA!

What a cutie! We just LOVE our little Cutie Pie!

Update!

Soo I wish I could say that Addy was doing better, REALLY, I do, BUT she still has her random episodes of abdominal pain and fevers! Yeah it stinks, mainly cause we don't really know what is wrong, can't really give her anything to help the pain go away, and it is so gosh dang heart wrenching at times! So here we go!

Last Tuesday we took her into get an Ultra sound and an upper GI. It was a hard day cause she had to fast for 4 hours prior and her apt was at 1pm. She cried through most of the ultra sound, while I tried to keep her calm and held down, and then we had to go into get the upper GI done, Once in the room I said a prayer that things would go smoothly and that they would get what they needed, and since there was NO WAY Addy was going to drink the Barium from a straw they put some in some type of syringe and with me, the nurse and Doc all holding my poor baby down the other nurse comes over with the Barium contrast and holds it up to her mouth to force her to drink it and all of a sudden the child just starts to drink the crap! It was kind of amazing, even the Doctor commented on how impressed he was that she had already drank enough of the crap, mind you with out being forced, to get accurate reading from the ex-rays!

So the following Tuesday we go back to the specialist, and everything checks out so, NOW its on to the CT scan tomorrow at 11:30 and then on Monday at 7am, she will get Scoped with a camera through her stomach and abdomen and after that they will also do a collenoscapy with a camera...NOT FUN. Both of these test require fasting and sedation and to say the least I am having a lot of anxiety over it all Especially the one on Monday...Please keep Addy in your prayers I know they are helping and it is really scary for both Addy and Me!

On a lighter note we had a blast seeing and visiting family in Arizona for a couple of days and I was bad I didn't even get a single picture, dang it! Hopefully we will be able to visit one last time before Art has to go away for three months in August, YUCK! I will be playing those three months by ear, I know I will probably go up to Utah for a week or two at the beginning of August and then back to Vegas for a day or two then over to AZ for a month and then while Art is in California I will probably go and visit him for a week or two at the end of September then back to Vegas for a day or two and then back to Az...this is sort of what I think will transpire during these three months...it will probably change here and there BUT for the most part I will be in AZ for a majority of those months! We Love and miss all of you a ton and hope to see ya soon!

Please keep us in your prayers, we are going to need them!
