Addy's First Dance Recital!!

2010-05-28T14:09:00.000-07:00

Addy had her first dance recital last night! She was AWESOME!!! She is the youngest one in her class by about a year and she had no fear!! Love that little girl :)

Baby Gracie is here

2009-11-09T19:09:00.000-08:00

Grace Bella Morley was born Monday morning at 4:55 am. A petite 6lbs. 7oz. and 20 inchs long. Mommy is doing good as well. Here are some pictures.

Our first NEW family picture

Addy loves her baby sister. She has been very sweet with her.

Gamie, Grandpa, and Gracie

Baby Grace!!

2009-06-24T20:23:00.001-07:00

We had our ultrasound today........and it's officially a girl and she is perfect!! We are thrilled!! And yes, we already have her name......Grace Bella. I know, we are weird for already giving her a name, but we have had this name picked out for a long time :) And no, it is not after Bella on Twilight (in fact I was mad when I finally read Twilight and her name was Bella)! Nick loves the Spanish name Bella (it means beautiful) and Addy's middle name is Fey (Faith in Spanish) so we are keeping with tradition. Below is her profile shot.

Here she is sucking her thumb........

and here are her little legs!

Picture Updates!

2009-06-10T13:55:00.001-07:00

Here are some recent pictures of Addy.........below she is helping me make a cake. One of her favorite things to do!

Addy and her best friend, cousin Carson, having some fun in the backyard!

Addy and her cousin Taylor having fun at Gamie & Grandpa's.

And one of her other favorite things to do.......sitting in the sink getting ready with me!

That's my girl!! Learning how to walk in heels already!!

And it's a...........GIRL!! (we think)

2009-05-13T16:59:00.000-07:00

We had our 13 week ultrasound today and they think that the baby is a girl! The ultrasound tech said that all the sex genitalia are formed by now and at this stage it is a 60/40 chance of guessing the baby's correct gender. However, the tech said that she is rarely wrong. We have another ultrasound in 6 weeks so they will be able to tell for sure by then! Here is a picture of baby girl :)

Yep......it's true!!

2009-04-10T08:15:00.000-07:00

We are expecting baby #2 and are so excited!! We have already had two ultrasounds and everything is great!! We are due November 20th.......a Thanksgiving baby.

Bad Model!!

2009-04-08T15:16:00.001-07:00

My friend Lindy came over to take pictures of Addy today.......and she was a little poop!! This is the ONLY good shot she got!! We are going to retry next week!

Christmas!!!

2008-12-28T15:13:00.000-08:00

We had a wonderful Christmas this year. We spent Christmas Eve with Nick's family....

Addy was a good girl this year (the best) and Santa was very nice to her......he brought her a baby doll (Mammie) and baby accessories! She is so cute playing with them.

We spent Christmas day with my family.......

Addy's cousins got a mini car and she loves it!!!

Our Trip to the Poinsettia Bowl....

2008-12-28T14:59:00.000-08:00

We decided at the last minute to go to San Diego for the Poinsettia Bowl. It was awesome! We were able to fly down on the chartered plane with the Team and coaching staff, very nice! Addy put the wings on her nose and loved it! That is her with Aunt Devrea.

We went to the amazing San Diego Zoo.....Addy's favorite was the lions and mine were the giraffs!

The day the girls went shopping at Horton Plaza the boys went to the baseball field and took a tour.

Sunday night BSU and TCU had a parade where the bands battled it out. Addy had a good view on top of Papa's shoulders!

Nick climbed on a tree to get this view.....

Addy's favorite part........the TCU cheerleaders!!!!

We had a Team luncheon on the Midway (an aircraft carrier). Here is Nick as "The Boss".

This is a picture of the Midway from our hotel room.

Addy with the BSU cheerleaders........she is LOVING IT!!!

2008-12-25T12:34:00.000-08:00

Addison IS me!!

2008-12-03T13:49:00.001-08:00

Food Storage Calculator

2008-11-14T15:45:00.000-08:00

Nick created this great food storage calculator and many have asked us for it. The link is on our side bar column titled "Food Storage Calculator". Nick and I are starting to build our food storage and we didn't know where to begin. This calculator lets you plug in how many people you have in your family, the ages and how long of a food storage you want (3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 5 years, ect.) and then it tells you how much you need of each item. It is just in the beginning stages, so check back often to see what we have added.

I think in today's times, it is imperative to have food storage. You never know when you may need it......loss of a job, natural disasters, epidemics, the economy and the list goes on and on. We hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions!

Happy Birthday Bekkah Boo! We love you!

2008-11-02T15:32:00.000-08:00

Happy Halloween!!

2008-10-31T21:02:00.000-07:00

This was Addy's first "real" Halloween......and she loved it!! Actually, instead of trick-or-treating, she loved it when the doorbell rang and she got to hand out the candy. We couldn't find a frog costume, so she went as a cow instead......and a cute cow she is!

She wouldn't let go of her candy.......

Happy Halloween!! We hope you all had a great time!

Pumpkin Patch!

2008-10-31T16:08:00.000-07:00

Last weekend we went to Jerome to visit Nick's parents and we went to the pumpkin patch! Addy had a great time picking out her little pumpkin.....and mom's......and dad's. And of course, riding in the red wagon!

This little girl has such a cute and fun personality! Nick put the apple jack on her nose and she kept it there and just giggled! She's awesome!!

2008-10-31T07:29:00.000-07:00

JuMp HoUsE!

Happy Birthday Mom! We are so very grateful for another year with you! Thank you for being the best Mom and Grammie ever! We love you!

2008-10-04T08:05:00.000-07:00

I am officially I Twilight Freak!! I have to admit, it took me a long time to pick up the books and read them. I went to high school with the Stephanie Meyer and she was in my Ward growing up.....a little strange. It took my Mom, Devrea and Katie telling me how awesome they were and that I MUST read them! It took my only 5 days to read the entire series and I LOVE THEM!!! I couldn't put them down and I can't stop thinking about them!!! I can't wait for the movie!!

Twilight Freak!!

Our Trip to Portland for the BIG Game!

2008-10-03T17:47:00.001-07:00

We went to Portland for a long weekend to go to the Boise State Oregon Game.....and WOW what a game!! Go Bronco's!! What a win and what an amazing game!!

Autzem stadium is awesome (thanks to Nike)!

We stayed with our friends Sam and Jessica who live just outside Portland in Vancouver, Washington. We went sight seeing to some falls, I can't remember the name of them, but they were beautiful!

Here we are along the Oregon coast.......very beautiful! (My first time)

Thank you Sam and Jess for a great weekend!!
And Go Broncos!!!

Rock Band Party!!

2008-10-03T17:39:00.000-07:00

Yes, we love our Rock Band (especially the boys)! We all dressed up for the new release of Rock Band (the artist had to be on the play list). We had a fabulous time rocking out! Thanks for the great party Clay and Ky!

Boise State vs Idaho State

2008-09-11T10:17:00.001-07:00

BSU started off their season with playing Idaho State (not a very good game!). But, it was awesome to see the beautiful new sky box!! It's AMAZING!

The view from our seats......we also got new blue turf this year!

Addy loved the game, of course!

Happy Birthday to the Best Daddy Ever!!!

2008-08-21T13:46:00.000-07:00

Before summer is over, we had to go to Roaring Springs just one last time! Addy loved going down the slide......I think she is going to be a little dare devil! We had a great time with Kresh, Ky and Clay.....thanks for the fun day!

Boise State Football!

2008-08-20T14:09:00.001-07:00

Yes, it's that time of year again....and we are stoked!!! We love our Boise State Broncos (especially the football). We look forward to another great season! Below are some pictures of past football games.

Our little Bronco.....

And who could forget the Fiesta Bowl win over Oklahoma!!?? The best game EVER!!

We recruited all of our family and friends in Phoenix to go to the Fiesta Bowl.....they all left being HUGE fans of Boise State!

Happy Birthday Katie! We love you!!

2008-08-19T20:02:00.000-07:00

2008-08-09T10:12:00.001-07:00

Addy went to one of her "boyfriends" birthday party last night.....Crush!! He was going in for the big kill.....we didn't get a picture of it, but
Addy had her first french kiss last night! WOW!!

Crush with his Daddy Clay who just returned home from Afganastan on Thursday. Welcome home clay, we missed you and are very proud of you!

Addy with Dodson, another one of her boyfriends. Yep, that's right, she only has boyfriends! Her one girlfriend Presley moved to Colorado in July.

Having a good time with Daddy and Dodson in the bounce house!

Party! Party! Party!

2008-08-07T09:26:00.001-07:00

A big hit from Mommy and Daddy and Gammie and Grandpa.......she absolutely loves this car!

Swimming in the pool with her cousins......she went swimming three different times yesterday! She loves the pool!

Opening up her presents......

She didn't like her hat much.....but all the other kids did!

And of course.....her own cake!

She got the hang of it after a while. When she was done, we put her in the pool to clean off......and then she pooped in the pool!!!

Her very own chair.......do you think she likes it??

Happy Birthday Addy!

Happy Birthday Addison! We love you!

2008-08-05T22:01:00.001-07:00

A Journey Through the First Year of Addy!

2008-08-05T19:46:00.000-07:00

From the very beginning I knew that Addy would look exactly like her Daddy......and I was so right!! Not very many people say she looks like me....she's all Nick.

This was her birth announcement picture.

Her first bath.....she didn't like it much but she loves them now!

This picture was taken at the park when she was three months old.

Addy went to pretty much every Boise State Football game....she even went to the Washington game in Seattle when she was three weeks old!! Gotta start her young.......GO BIG BLUE!!

Addy at Thanksgiving time.....

Not only are we supporters of Boise State Football, we also went to many of the basketball games. This is where Addy learned to clap!

Addy having a Tea Party at Gammie and Grandpa's house at Christmas time with her cousins and Gammie........

In January in Scottsdale at Grandma Moeller (my Mom's mom) funeral.

Her absolute favorite toy that she got for Christmas........and her hammin' it up for the camera!

Tea party again with Gammie......in February.

Beautiful big blue eyes.....and getting older!

She loves that blue ball at Grammie and PaPa's house!

She has been a very busy little girl during her first year! Nick and I counted it up and she has been to all the Western States (minus California and Nevada) by the time she was one. That is NINE all together! She is destined to be a world traveler!! She is such a happy sweet little girl....we have been very blessed to have the opportunity to be her parents. We love you Little Miss Fey!

Celebrating with Grammie and PaPa Knoll!

2008-08-04T20:12:00.001-07:00

Grammie and PaPa Knoll came over to our house tonight to celebrate Addy's birthday (Grammie is having surgery tomorrow and can't be at her party). Besides the fact that Addy has the croup, she had a fabulous time opening up her presents and playing with them!! They were a big hit!!! Just what she wanted!

You can't tell from the picture, but she is a dancin'

Addy with her Grammie and PaPa (and I think she looks like me in this picture, what a miracle!)

BIRTHDAY WEEK!

2008-08-03T20:00:00.001-07:00

We can't believe our little Miss Fey is already one!! Time went by so fast and now we have a little girl on our hands!

Addy when she was just one day old!

Seconds after she was born.....look at her dimple!

Again.....literally seconds after she was born. She came very quickly! I only pushed for 13 minutes! I went from being 5 cm dilated to 10 cm in about 2 seconds. The doctor had time to put on his coat and sit down to catch her! The nurses made me stop pushing through every other contraction so that the doctor could get there! I was a VERY big supporter of the epidural all through my pregnancy, and ironically it did not work!! NOT GOOD! But, it didn't last long and our little girl was here........what an amazing day!

Now look at her......SO BIG! She loves her baths! Stay tuned for more of her pictures this week until her big day on Wednesday!!

Cousin Pierson's Baptism!

2008-08-03T07:28:00.000-07:00

Our Beautiful New Sink!!

2008-07-23T16:47:00.001-07:00

I know, I know.......it is a little crazy that I get soooo excited about a new sink and faucet, but it is a beautiful black granite sink and gorgeous goose neck stainless steal faucet!!! What girl wouldn't be excited?? (especially after the crappy one we had!) Our faucet broke when we got home from our vacation, and so we just decided to replace the whole thing :) Below is the picture before we put it in......

And here it is...........nice and big and beautiful (and deep.....9 inches to be exact!)

And look at that faucet! The sprayer pulls out! LOVE IT!

Happy Belated Birthday to my dear friends Danuta and Tina!!

Our Family Reunion in Island Park

2008-07-21T14:20:00.000-07:00

We had my Dad's side of the family's family reunion this last week. We spent an entire week in beautiful Island Park, Idaho....just outside the West entrance to Yellowstone Park. Below is a picture of us at Addy's first bomb fire!

Here is Devrea and me at the Continental Divide in Yellowstone.

Addy listening very closely to what Old Faithful is all about!

Us at Old Faithful.......it doesn't shoot as high and as long as I remembered it.

Here we are at the Paint Pots.......my mom's favorite place in Yellowstone!

We were very lucky this trip to Yellowstone.....we saw two black bear, a grizzly bear (it is rare to see a bear in Yellowstone and we saw three in one day!!), a bull moose, a huge bull elk, bison (of course), tons of elk, baby elk, a bald eagle and dear! Below is the bull moose.

The cousins in the car coming home from Mesa Falls....

All the girls and the baby's at Mesa Falls. Mesa Falls is just before you get to Island Park. It is a water fall that drops a little over 100 feet! It is spectacular!!

Nick and Addy walking down to Mesa Falls......she loved it!!

Yes....we love her!

2008-07-08T16:27:00.001-07:00
