Jaclyn and Adrian added a new little boy to their family, and we are so excited to have a new nephew. He was 8 lbs 8 ozs 21 inches long. I think he looks a lot like his dad.

My good friend Jenna had a sweet baby boy. She took all the photos, and I helped her design the birth announcement. It was super fun doing it... I really enjoyed it.

Hi DAD

We miss you, and love you. We are trying to have some fun while you are gone. Tim is gone for the week. He is in Arizona, and it is blazing hot. He is there for some work training.

Cousins at the Car Museum

 

We went to a fun car museum in Sacramento. Lots of cool cars to look at. I had to keep feeding Adeline the snacks. She loved climbing the stairs to get into the car we took the photo in. Everyone had great behavior, and it was fun.

The Balloon

Random Funny Movie- She loved grabbing this balloon.

The Slide

Too funny... We went to the park with Tim, and she loves standing at the bottom of slides trying to climb up. So Tim suggested we take her shoes off, and then she'd be able to climb up. As you can see she easily did. I couldn't believe it.

Cousins are the BEST

 

                                       All the cousins enjoying the water park. They were so excited to be together. Adeline likes to walk close to the sprayers but won't go through them too funny. She loved showing her cousins how she could climb up the slide. She just wanted to explore. She did not want to be held.

Cousins

 

It is so hard to get a good shot of two kids together... WOW! Adeline loves this little chair. However, it's scary because she's fearless, and thinks she's invincible. She's a wild one. She almost tipped the chair over. I think at one point Lily was trying to turn the chair upside down with Adeline in it. Kids are so funny. 

American Idol Concert

So, despite the fact that almost every entry is about Adeline every so often I do something really fun by myself that is blog worthy. Last Friday thanks to my mother-in-law Carol. I was able to go to the American Idol concert with my sister-in-law Wauldina. I have always despised the show a bit. However, this season I got hooked. So, the concert was a real treat. I must admit I was a  bit disappointed by the winner this season. I have been told by many people they can't believe I am an Adam fan. I just like his voice.  I never vote so it's all just fun to watch. For the most part everyone was entertaining. A few of my favs were, Danny, Allison and obviously Adam. I must admit that I also liked Chris's performance. A little like karaoke, but his songs her good.  My favorite part of the whole night was a song Adam sang. The song was by the band Muse called Twilight it was great. Are there any American Idol fans out there?  

  

Berry Picking

Eating her berry

At the end of berry picking

The view was amazing

Today we went and picked black berries. YUMMY! Adeline was funny. At first she was inspecting everything on the ground where I put her. She was eating flowers, and having a great time. Then she wandered over to me, and saw what I was doing and began to help. Berry picking is a bit prickly... but once she got one as you can tell she enjoyed a few berries in the field. She was a mess, but kids get messy right. We had a picnic lunch, and her and Owen played around so nicely. 

10 Months

At ten months I have my hands full. She is a curious little lady. Who has been wanting to be on the move for some time now. She has discovered how to open the cupboards, and has broke on glass measuring cup. The cupboards are now locked. She loves that she can open her toys. She loves being outside to eat rocks, and play in the dirt. She really enjoys the water. She growls, and makes all kinds of weird noises. My favorite is when she says hi... or hi da da. It's never hi ma ma. She can also say bye bye, but you have to listen carefully. Some other words are hey, and yeah. She says them high pitched. She is now walking about 6-9 steps. She's doing great, and loves it. I can't believe it. She is a great eater... sometimes the green veggies aren't her fav. She loves to dance. When music comes on, or if you hum a beat she bounces. Tim's amazed at the rhythm she has, and wonders where it came from. All and all she's got the cutest little personality she's determined, curious, and a bit feisty. She doesn't like to be held much, and she'll let you know she wants down. I can only hold her for stories, and sometimes before her nap she'll cuddle. Church is difficult right now because she just wants to crawl everywhere, and bang on the folding chairs. She gets a little frustrated she's not totally a walker yet. I think crawling is to slow so as she follows me around the house she wines sometimes. I think she wants to be faster. 

I love the fourth of JULY

She's Dangerous & Fearless

We had family over to our new place during the day. We had a DELICIOUS BBQ tri-tip YUMMY! We swam, we ate we had good company it was super fun. Then we went to have homemade ice cream and do fireworks what a treat. It was a relaxing patriotic fun filled day. 

Good Work TIM

Hip hip HOORAY Tim passed his first test the Series 7, and we celebrated. He's been studying so hard, and we're so proud of him.  He is going to make the best financial planner EVER. So to celebrate we were going to go to the carnival at the fair... too funny. So, there is a big rodeo in Folsom over the fourth weekend, and there's always a fair. However, this year it just so happened to break down and not make it. So, sad for us. However, the AWESOME train at the library (where the fair should've been) made up for it.
