Addi's new hairdo!

So I was getting really sick of Addi's long stringy hair it was ok when went home to Idaho but as soon as we would get back to Florida with the humidity I would hate it all over again! So I decided to go get her a haircut, I would have loved to go to my mom's hairdresser because she cuts little girls hair just so adorable and only charges their age, but when we went home my mom was in Lewiston and we were busy so I wasn't able to get Addi's haircut then. I decided today that I was going to get it cut, but it was her first real CHOP and I was scared to just go to a Great Clips or something equivilent so I got this bright idea to go down to Park Ave. in Winter Park (which is this really posh expensive area) and we found a nice salon and I went in a their sign said Children's Haircuts starting at $15 I thought oh fifteen isn't too bad if I get a really good haircut. Well the haircut actually turned out really cute even better than I expected but when I went to pay they charged me $25 REALLY for a three year old! As we were leaving I noticed this beautiful Astin Martin parked right out front, and I thought to myself it serves me right I know better than to go to a salon with and Astin Martin parked out front!! Oh well the haircut is cute and it makes her look so much older!!

Our quick trip home!

Sorry I tried posting this on my phone but for some reason it didn't quite work. We had to make an unexpected trip back to Idaho last Friday. Jake's Grandpa had a heart attack and had gone into a coma, it wasn't looking very good and we were very blessed by wonderful family members, that we were able to hop on a plane to be able to go say our Goodbye's. Well we had been told that it didn't look good and we packed for a funeral. When we got there the next day Grandpa was starting to move a little bit and react somewhat to people in the room. By the second day he had opened his eyes, was breathing on his own and talking a little. It was such a miracle all of our prayers were answered. It turned out to be a pretty awesome little trip when we had expected it to be a very sad one. We had Jake's birthday while we were there and didn't have a camera so I have a few pictures on my phone but that is it. Addi had the most wonderful trip, me, Jake and Brielle stayed with Oma at her house and so that left lots of one on one time for Addi and her Grandma Terry. Needless to say it was a very sad Goodbye, Addi cried and cried through the entire take off of our flight telling me, "I don't want to go home I want to stay with Grandma Terry because I Love her." We got home at 1:00am Tuesday night and the next morning Addi threw herself in bed with me bawling "i'm never going to see Grandma Terry again." She is a little dramatic! I guess we are the cruel parents that take Grandkids away from their Grandparents, I knew they say that kids end up hating their parents I just thought I would have at least until she was a teenager before she decided to hate us!! We were so thankful to be able to be home with Grandpa Hunt while he recovered a bit but it was a very short trip and we already miss everyone!

The After Christmas party in Idaho

So like I said in my last post we packed up on Christmas day and got on a plane headed home! It was a lot of fun and such a great break. In fact we had so much fun that we forgot to get the camera out for half of it. I only got to see my sister Trisha's family for one day but we were still thankful that we even got to see them. The first day we just spent time with them and visited and went shopping and had a little fondue party all together and then the next morning they had to go home so we had to say our goodbye's sadly. We however stayed and got to spend 13 days with both families we had a lot of fun introducing Brielle to everyone and I hope everyone felt like they got a little bit of quality time with her. Both our families spoiled and took great care of us.
This is my four generation picture.
Grandpa and Brielle!

Grandma with her only Grandbabies!
Like I said we didn't get too many pictures, which I sadly regret, but we had a ton of fun and it was sad to leave, but it was great to get back home. We are now back to facing reality. Jake is back to work and I am back to taking care of two kids alone most of the day, which I am finding to be harder than I expected. Jake starts his very last semester next week, he will have to be pulling close to full time hours with Disney this semester but the bad news is he has to take his classes at night this semester, so we won't see him very often. The good news is he only has to finish 9 more credits and then he will be Graduated with a Masters and done with school forever. I have always looked forward to this day but now I'm scared to death, because now there are no more excuses we have to get a job and be willing to go wherever that job takes us and we have to face the reality of an 8 to 5 job. Jake has started applying for jobs and we are excited to see what we end up with.

Christmas

Sorry this is so late but Christmas was very quick at our house we got up at 6 and opened presents and then we packed our bags and was on a plane to Idaho that afternoon. So when we got home yesterday from Idaho it was like Christmas all over again, Addi remembered all that she got for Christmas and was so excited. I think everyone needs to have a 3 year old at their Christmas, it was so much fun she was so excited to open everything and she was so grateful and happy for all of her presents.

Brielle got a bumbo from my mom and she already was sitting up so well in it.
Addi ever since her birthday is always bringing out lego blocks stacked together saying she made me a birthday cake, she has been obsessed with birthday cakes so one day when me and Jake were shopping we found this awesome wooden Birthday cake that you were able to make and decorate and knew it would be a huge hit!
