What a Summer!

I guess it has been a couple of months since I have posted on our blog. It has been a crazy summer for us. I have been teaching two classes online. They have been keeping me extremely busy. I will be taking a break from teaching this fall, which will be nice. This way I will have a chance to spend more time being a mom.

Adysen is growing so fast. Over the last couple of months she has learned how to stand up while holding onto things. Now she pulls up on everything! She has two teeth on the bottom now. Well, they are still just coming in. I think if you click on the picture below you can see a little bit of a tooth. I can't believe how fast this year has gone. Adysen is now 10 months old. She is so much fun!

We went to a BBQ the other night with some friends. Adysen loved eating watermelon. I never realized how dark watermelon juice was before. I am so glad we have a washer and dryer in our apartment now. :)



What a fun box to play in! Check out those blue eyes! Everybody loves them.

Look what I can reach! The last month I have done a lot of baby proofing.

Don't worry, after taking this picture I moved all the food into boxes.


We enjoyed spending time with the Alexanders when they came to Utah for a family reunion in July. We had a lot of fun participating in the various activities, but most of all we enjoyed making memories and being with our family. Adysen had a lot of fun with her aunts, uncles, and grandparents!
Alton's immediate family with Grandpa and Grandma Alexander.


Grandpa and Grandma Alexander and their children, grand children, and great-grandchildren. Adysen is on Grandma's lap. Alton and I are in the back row 4th and 5th from the left.


Standing Up - Well, at least with some assistance. These pictures were taken on July 1st (or June 30th, I think the date on our camera is off). This was when she first started standing using the couch. I took of the cushions so that it would be easier for her to stand.


Hanging out with Daddy! We went to Boise during the middle of June for my teaching conference. Adysen and Alton played all day together while I was in meetings. They went to some stores and saw lots of fun things.


This is one of my favorite facial expressions. What a cutie!
