The Skousen Trio

We have started putting Addie into time out. We stick her in her crib for about a minute. When I go get her out of her crib she will glare at me like these pictures or she will point her finger at me and shake it, like I did something wrong and than other times she gives kisses. Its hard not to laugh when she is glaring or shaking her finger at me.

Car Wreck

No more perfect driving record for me! Yes a couple weeks ago Addie and I caused an accident. We were on University Ave. during stop and go traffic and just one glance back at Addie and I was heading straight into a vans rear. We were all so close that she actually hit the car in front of her too. Lovely! Airbags activated and the front of the car was smashed in a bit. We went to see how much it will cost to get the bags fixed and it will be about $2000 they say its not worth fixing. It would be better to spend the money on something else. :( ahhh We will see what happens) The radiator was also smashed in a bit, Darrell said that it was not leaking so it should be alright.

Addie was trying to be helpful, She sat on Daddy's crate when he stood up to look at something.

Go BYU

Walking to the stadium

Addie enjoyed the game as much as a one year old can. She loved to cheer and clap whenever something good happened.

After the game we had a BBQ at the park Kimmy, Trevor and Clark came too. We also played some volleyball.

While the Burgers were cooking Addie took it upon herself to get some doritos. She has orange fingers and and orange face.

First Haircut and Making Cookies

Addie's bangs were getting pretty long and her hair style was looking a little boyish, so we decided to finally give her some real bangs! I tried to put the cape on her but she was not liking it all that much so in the end she had no cape and a graham cracker in her hand to keep her busy. She held pretty still. We have a short video of it. Our camera battery died. :(

This was Addie's first time making cookies with Momma. Lets just say this girl has hands like an octopus, before you know it she is getting into something. She did really good though and had a fun time. Her favorite part was digging in the container of flour and eating it. Never knew plain straight flour could be so yummy! At the beginning I stuck a stick of butter on the cabinet and she grabbed it and tried to eat it. She will try pretty much any food. Although occasionally she will spit things out. ( you can kind of see her short short bangs, we didn't want to have to cut them again any time soon.
