Oh I am the cutest thing ever!!
Daddy, can I have the phone...Puhlease?
I'm waiting!
Oh yummy....I love cheeto's!

So Addy's new favorite treat is cheeto's! After visiting baby Peyton in the hospital and Addy had a total come apart....yes, we won't be having a baby for a while, she was a nightmare!! We named her Addy for a reason....attitude Addy!! Wow! She never acts like that but she didn't like mom holding another baby! Oh dear! We went to the park and played for a while and then had snacks...here are some pic's of our Father's Day weekend also!

Peyton Rider Ferney

Yeah! He made it here safe and sound!! Kim and Jesse had their first baby on June 16th at 5:30 am...on the nose! After a great epidural and 1/2 hour of pushing Peyton made it into the world at 7 lbs 9 oz and is 20 inches long! He has lots of dark hair and is so darling! He looks like his daddy! Congrat's guys!

Jared went to the MTC

Can you believe my little baby brother went to the MTC?! It makes me sad to see him leave but he is going to be an amazing missionary! We had his farewell on Sunday and he did an awesome job! I was so proud of him. Monday night we all met at Gringo's (of course) and then went to his setting apart and said goodbye. It was the neated blessing I've ever heard! He has an amazing Stake President and he really did good. I cried the whole way home I was so sad to say good bye but I know he will be GREAT!! He is going to Mesa, Arizona. I love you bro!!

Happy Birthday Dutch!!

Well, I'm a day late but Dutch turned 29 yesterday!! He is getting old! I keep telling him we aren't getting any younger we have a lot to do!! :0)
We had the fam meet at Puerta Valarta, and I mean 35 people showed up! It's so nice to know that our family loves and supports us...what would we do without all of them?
Happy Birthday Honey....Love you lots....Your girls :)

Sleep Update

Well, Addy got her first "Rash" so I took her to the doctor. Just before I went to leave he asked me if I had any questions about her eating, sleeping, etc....so, I jumped on the wagon! I said," Umm, ya! This child doesn't sleep!". After a slight chuckle he asked to to go through our routine. When I got to the part that I put her in her crib asleep, he said "That's your problem". He told me to stop rocking her to sleep totally and to start putting her down drowsy...which is what I have read everywhere! Then I told him when she wakes up I hold her or feed her. Anther chuckle! (he's killin me smalls) He said I am to NEVER pick her up and I can only feed her in the night one time....which I usually do. He also said to not let her scream and cry but to lay her down and pat her and walk out of the room. Go back in after 5 minutes and relay her down and explain that it's bed time....so much harder than he made it sound!! So, I did this for 2 nights and last night Addy actually did much better! I layed her down and she didn't even fight me! She then slept clear until 3:20, I fed her a bottle, she was back in bad by 3:40! I was shocked! She slept until 7:20 and I had to actually wake her up! So, you are all too smart, I wished I woulda done this like 6 months ago! So, needless to say, I slept really good all night! It was heaven! Other than I DIDN"T want to get up!

SLEEP....or the lack of!

K, so this is the deal...Addy does really good for like a week and only wakes up around 3am, eats and goes back to sleep. Then we have like a 2 week span that she is up every hour! I am almost to the end of my rope on idea's so if you have any tips to making a child sleep I am open to ANYTHING!! She has a super set schedule so I don't understand what makes her good and then not. I can't let her cry herself to sleep so that is out of the question....and in order for me to function as a normal human I need more than 2 hours of sleep a night. I keep telling her it's a good thing she's so cute or I'd have to beat her!! :) (K not really) So, give me your ideas! PLEASE, I'm begging!! :0)

Pierced Ears!!

I love how she smiles behind the binki!!
Those two bottom teeth are so dang cute!!!
See the cute diamond daisy earing? :)
She loves to unload the baskets of toys under her changing table.

K, so I finally did it...pierced Addy's ears. I have wanted to since she was 3 months and I just couldn't. The more people I talked to they told me to do it now or wait until she is old....so we did it. Ok, it was bad! I felt horrible but they are so cute! She didn't cry any harder than shots and she hasn't even touched them since. I clean them 3 times a day and turn them and she still doesn't make a peep! So, if you are having a hard time deciding to do your little princess, DO IT! They look darling.
