Addie and Tim Christmas Morning

Our Little Family Christmas Eve

Adeline on Christmas Eve (notice the drool)
We had such a fun holiday. We spent Christmas Eve with my family, and some close friends. So, we exchanged gifts with them...Santa showed up. Addie slept through it unfortunatly. Adeline was spoiled. We had delicous food. We woke up and had cinnamon rolls that were delivered on Christmas Eve by the Pettingails. It was truely a nice suprise because I was going to make cinnamon rolls for us, and then I didn't have to. One tradition that we started this year was the 12 Days of Christmas it was so much fun. We mainly took treats. On the last night they left us a really nice note. On Christmas morning we woke up, and exchanged gifts...after we both showered and took pictures with the gifts. So, it was very enjoyable and then we opened gifts. Later in the day we went to Tim's families house. We had another delicious meal, and then exchanged gifts. So, we were all spoiled. I really love this time of the year. I think our new tradition the 12 days of Christmas made it even more special. I also love to make peppermint bark, and I dipped some jo jo's in chocolate (those are oreos with a little peppermint in the middle). I ruined fudge, and one batch of homemade suckers. I was really excited to bake, and got a little discouraged after the fudge...it became hot fudge. Oh well it still tasted good, but it is so disappointing when you use all of the ingredients, and then time and then it doesn't work out that usually doesn't happen to me.

Graduation Day!

What a wonderful day...Tim graduated yeah! To make the day even more special my brother-in-law also was graduating. He finished his MBA. I don't want to forget that it really is a miracle that he was able to graduate now instead of in May. Because at Sac State there was a 2 unit class that his department chair was going to make him take in the spring. Tim worked really hard to talk with him to explain he could take these two classes that were suppose to be taken consectively at the same time. However, the department chair would not budge at making any exceptions. I kept telling Tim to have faith and something would work out because of how hard he was trying to make it work. Lets just say I had lost hope because the semester had started, and I just figured it wasn't ment to be. Tim had also been working with the dean of his college. The first week of school to shorten a long story a miracle seriously happened, and he was allowed by the dean to take the course he needed to graduate. We are so grateful, and I am so proud of Tim and Mark.

It's a Wonderful Life

It was also a wonderful day...today I went to the grocery store. It use to be such a simple procedure. However, now it's defiantly more of a challenge. Good thing I like a challenge. Right now we live in an apartment complex on the third floor. It seemed like a good idea at the time. Because that's where we chose to live at Utah State so we never had to hear anyone elses noise. It's not that it was a bad idea for us it just makes getting the groceries in with Adeline tricky to say the least. I've included photos of all of our groceries so you could see how WONDERFUL it was that I made it up the stair baby, and groceries all in one trip. They were a bit heavy...I am not going to lie. But we made it.

3 Months Old

Adeline is three months old. I can't believe it. She is sleeping like a pro. I put her down at 9 or 10, and she will sleep until 3:30 or 4. I am told that is pretty good. She is rolling over. She loves to be held, but she also likes her time to stretch out and play. We can't decide if she's laughing yet. She gives this little cough that sounds like she's laughing.When I put her down she is just getting good at rolling over from her back to her belly. She swings her feet where she's almost all the way over, and sometimes she's almost there and flips back. Other times she rolls all the way over. Tonight she was also rolling from back to tummy, and then tummy to back...again and again. She just kept going back, and forth. She loves it. She's so much fun!

I thought Nursing is best

I know nursing is suppose to be best...THE VERY BEST that's why I worked so hard we worked so hard to figure it out. But get this I have to give Adeline a multi vitamin polyvisol. What is that all about? Nursing didn't come easy for me, but we were persistent and the final success is here. She is nursing great, and daily takes a mutli vitamin. I just find it amusing.

Crazy Day

Do you ever just have a crazy day. Mine was enjoyable, but for sure crazy. First off the enjoyable I went to lunch with Koreen (my friend). She works downtown so we met at creepville tasty. It worked out well because I had a DR. appointment down town. Well I don't go down town very often. So obviously I had my mapquest all out and prepared to take me to my two destinations and back home. Lets just say it didn't go as planned.

I drove down a one way street yes you read correctly I DROVE DOWN A ONE WAY STREET! In down town Sacramento with Adeline in the back seat. YIKES! I obviously didn't know it. I know sounds ridiculous how do you not know. There were only a few cars and they were on the side they should be on. However, it was lunch time the streets were full of people and everyone else knew it was a one way street. EVERYONE was staring at you know who ME. It was not only incredibly embarrassing, but unsafe to say the least. I got maybe a block or half way down a block (any distance down a one way street is too far) I finally realized when I saw a lady screaming and waving her hands. Okay I am not a ditz. I just had a bit of bad luck.

It didn't stop there...Walking in UCD Medical Clinic there was a criminal in all orange chained at the ankles Scary White Criminal SWC. I just saw the SWC...there was no interaction. I waited for two hours at the DR's office. Adeline was an angle...thank goodness. Wouldn't you know she waits to fill her pants until the Dr. is in the room. She smelled the whole place up. Last but not least I got lost on the way home. I mean really lost...ended up in South Sac SCARY. For those of you who don't know South Sac lets just put it this way I couldn't read any of the signs, the billboards were in another language as well and most windows had bars. (Okay there aren't really bars on all the windows but you get the point). Basically I drove a long ways in the wrong direction. OOPS hope tomorrow will be a bit better. Actually just safer.

New Family Christmas Stockings

My mom sent a gift a bit early...it was new stockings that coordinate for the whole family. If I were craftier I would've made them, but I thought it was such a special gift. I love them! Thanks Mom.

Happy Late Thanksgiving

For Addie's first thanksgiving we were at my in-laws. They worked really hard, and we had a feast. Thanks everything was very nice. We pretty much did the traditional stuff. Tim played in the ward or a wards turkey bowl. He brought me back the news paper so I could scope out any must have deals. I didn't find any. At 11:30 pm I met my sister, kelly and beth at the outlets and did some shopping it was crazy busy.

Look What Addie Can Do

Adeline is growing oh so fast. Now she can find her hands, and loves to suck on them. So, much that I always wonder if I am feeding her enough. She just likes it. She can pick up some of her toys. She can lift her head oh so nicely, and she can take a bath in a big girl tub. She is so funny because she's already becoming a bit particular she likes to be held facing out so she can see. If she has been held a lot (like at church) after if she doesn't get some time to herself to play and stretch out she gets a bit cranky. She also still loves to gibber gabber with anyone and everyone. Oh she makes me laugh because she is always seems so intent on what she is gabbering about. She is also loosing a little hair. Oh well it grows back...it's a bit of a mullet. I still know she's my baby because she still loves to be swaddled.

Happy Anniversary

Shutterfly | Manage my pictures
I can't believe it has been two years. I love Tim more every day. Top ten reasons I love Tim
10. He ALWAYS takes the trash out (he even gets the bathroom trash), and he'll usually put in a new bag!
9. He'll clean the bathroom the way I like it.
8. He washes the dishes after dinner.
7. He's incredibly handsome.
6. He makes me oatmeal for breakfast yummy!
5. He thinks I'm beautiful with no make-up he actually prefers me that way.
4. He is so nice to my nephews.
3. He teaches primary like a pro. especially when he dresses up like King Benjamin (the class loved it).
2. He can always make me laugh.
1. He is a super sweet dad.
The list could go on and on, but since we've had Adeline my love for Tim has changed. I am not exactly sure how to explain it. I love the way he loves us, and tries his best in everything...he also believes he's the best at everything. He usually is close if not the best. He is the best husband, and father I could have ever dreamed of finding. I am a firm beliver that I didn't have everything to do with that. He really has made my dreams come true. I love you honey! Happy second anniversary...forever for always and no matter what. Love you Long Time.

Adeline in her little seat

When I was at my sisters I realized she could sit up in this little seat. So, we got her one. She does such a good job sitting up in it. I think she looks so cute. I also really liked the one with Tim she looks so small. She loves sitting in her seat and playing with her toys. She just started holding toys.

Sleep Over

Last week my brother-in-law was out of town, and we had a sleep over at my sisters. The boys really thought it was a lot of fun. Some funny things happened...If this is too much information just skip the next part. Those of you with girls, and boys I need feedback. How do you expalin some of the differences delicatly to children about the differences between boys and girls? Parker was wondering where Adelines boy part was (he referred to it as the actual name). Also he was very curious when I was nursing where the bottle was. Then he realized, "she's eating you." He thought she was eating my stomache. I love my nephews we had so much fun, They are still so nice to her. She was an angel for our sleep over.

Adorable Addie & Family

Baby Blessing

On Octoer 26 Adeline Grace was blessed. It was such a special day. I wanted to post some cute pictures of her in her blessing dress. Tim actually was blessed in a dress too, and it was made by his great grandmother. So, Adeline wore the same dress her dad wore. I thought that was very special.

Adeline is Getting Bigger

2 months

1 months

newborn

She is such a sweet baby...we really are lucky. She is getting stronger every day. This month I've notice she's clammy. It is the funniest thing ever. I mean her feet, her hands. She also sweats just like her dad a whole bunch. I know not so nice for a girl, but she is the cutest sweaty little thing ever. She really gets so hot; just when I swaddle her so she'll sleep well she wakes up sweating. Addie's been sick. She's all congested, and she hates (I think that's an understatement) the suctioning to get all the yucky stuff out of her nose. She turns bright red, kicks, and squirms not to mention she starts sweating a lot. We love our clammy little two month old. Every day when Tim gets home she gabbers with him it's so cute. She loves to talk (coo) she'll go on and on...it cracks me up. She has also started to like the bouncy seat, and our fish floor mat.

Lily Happy Late First Birthday

Bishops Ranch

On Monday we went to Bishops Ranch. Addie was so nice she only ate, and slept. When she's in the baby bjorn she puts her face into me. I worry she can't breathe. She just loves being close. Before we left it was really cute the boys both wanted to sit by her. They had already worked it out that Parker got to on the way there, and Tanner on the way back. Tanner was a bit upset because he lost/left his new lock at the soccer park. He is a cutie though...he wanted to say a prayer, and asked me to say it for him. So we prayed for him. It was a fun day besides the blow out upon arrival at the destination. Other than that everything was enjoyable. We got yummy carmel apples.

Sunday Best

I was really nervous about our first day at church. However, she was a sweetheart. She just wanted to eat the entire time. In her dress her legs look so cute...they are skinny. Church will definatly be different.

The Salmon Festival

It was freezing cold. The wind was blowing, and it felt like fall. I was surprised perhaps because I've been inside a bit more than usual. We sure did have a good time. Adeline slept the entire time, and she kept me warm. My nephews were funny. At first Tanner complained that he wanted to go home. I think the wind was getting to him. When we got to the fish he forgot about wanting to leave. However, now Parker was the one who was a character he fed the fish see the first photo of fish their all still, and swimming. If you see the second one their all moving around fighting for food. In their haste to get a bite to eat they splashed Parker...he was really upset (to say the least). He was also really mad I was laughing that he got splashed on. I think he hates fish now.
