One BIG update...

Okay, I am officially a really sucky blogger! I haven't updated this for a while so you are going to get one long post to catch up. We have been really busy since little Addison was born. We have been traveling quite a bit and the obvious busy...taking care of a newborn!

COLORADO HERE WE COME...

Our first family trip was to Steamboat Springs for my cousin Phil's wedding! Addison did fabulous on her first plane ride. I was all prepared to try and feed her on take off and landing to help pop her ears from the pressure but she slept the entire way. She didn't make a peep! Way to go Addie!

So much fun and I was the only one to fall...

Before we left Colorado we stopped in Denver and spent a night with Mike's Uncle Mike. It was great spending time with him. Sorry no pictures:(

On to Los Angeles....

We headed to LA to stay at a beautiful ocean front resort in Rancho Palos Verde called Terranea. It was an incentive trip for Mikes work. We both had time in the spa and by the pool. We had a nice casita on the property with a kitchen so we were able to relax and be with Addison in the room when needed.

My 30th birthday happened to fall during our stay in LA and I was surprised with Meghan and Trevor popping in to join us for the weekend! It was a fabulous surprise and so much fun spending time with them. Thank you guys for coming to celebrate my 30th with me! You and wonderful friends and we love you so much!

Off on a little walk around the beautiful property

Next stop....Scottsdale!

We decided since we were on the west coast we might as well stop at home! It is always great being back at home but this also allowed us to introduce Addison to some more family and friends.

Happy Birthday to Mike! We celebrated his 33rd birthday while we were in AZ.

Thank you to Aunt Stephanie and Uncle Drew for coming the AZ especially to meet Addison! It was great to see them, even though they really only wanted to see Addison. Not Mike and I so much:)

Thank you to everyone for making our trip so fun! I didn't get pictures with everyone we saw but it was so great seeing Terri, Lindsay and Kevin, Meghan and Trevor and the girls, Natalie, Ricky and Nicholas, Sunny and Luke and Nicole and her kiddos. It was also so great to have lunch and a happy hour with Mitzi, Noe, Toni and Meghan. And of course a big thanks to the all the family for spending so much time with us and thank you Mom and Dad for letting us take over your house with all our crap (I mean stuff).
