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.

The Mullet

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.
