Big Girl

Adysen is becoming a big girl. She is getting good at telling us what she wants through her actions.

For example, whenever she wants a drink of milk, she goes the the fridge. Takes a few sips of milk. (In this case she came walking across the room as quickly as possible, since she saw the camera. I am having the hardest time taking pictures of Adysen).

Then she walks back to the fridge.

And puts the milk back in by herself. Sometimes she moves things out of the way so that her milk can be in just the right place. Also, she likes us to keep her milk in the fridge while she is eating her meals. Although, I usually just set it next to me so that I don't have to make so many trips back and forth to the fridge. She refuses to keep in on her high chair tray. What a silly girl!

Then, when it is nap time....She grabs her blanket and lamb and walks to her crib. She also does this at night. She is on a really good schedule right now. For a few days she cut back to one nap in the afternoon. But she is back to two naps. About an hour in the morning around 10 or 11 and an hour in the afternoon around 2. It makes it way nice for me so that I have some time to relax. (Which is especially necessary right now being pregnant). She also goes to bed around 8 and wakes up around 8 in the morning.

Trip to Washington

We had a wonderful time in Washington with the Alexanders. Adysen loved cooking with her grandma and watching the cats. She is still calling animals "kitties." It appears that we didn't use our camera very much while we were in Washington. We will have to get some more pictures from the Alexanders and from Jenica.

Here are a couple of Christmas morning:

Making hard candy with Grandma Alexander

Adysen enjoyed sleeping in her Great Grandpa's arms:

We found out that Adysen loves Spaghetti. We are not sure if she chews her noodles, but she sure enjoys slurping them in. :)

We ate at a fancy seafood restaurant in Portland. We also went to Tacoma and ate at Ivar's in the mall. We were excited to find out that we didn't have to drive all the way up to the Pier in Seattle to get our favorite fish & chips and clam chowder.

Christmas Lights

The Smith's came down to Salt Lake and we went to Temple Square to look at the lights. Unfortunately we didn't get any pictures with everyone on our camera. Adysen really did have a good time, just not when we took this picture.

Family Pictures - November 2009

Alton's sister Jenica took some family pictures of us in November. Here are some of the original pictures.

Calene and Eric's Wedding

Here are a few pics from my little sister Calene's wedding in November. We are so happy for them.

Adysen was having a hard time smiling for my pictures.

Awesome table decorations with card holders from www.wirehomedecor.com. :)

Adysen loved the lemons...I think she is taking after me and my mom (and my grandma and aunt). :)

Exciting News

Hey Everyone! So, you might be wondering what happened to us. It has been a crazy couple of months...

Calene and Eric got married the end of November. We had Thanksgiving in Idaho. The wire business kept us really busy around Christmas time. We spent a couple of weeks in Washington with Alton's family for Christmas. I officially quit my online teaching job. And last week Alton starting the spring semester at the U.

Now that I have given the brief synopsis of what we have been doing, I am ready to share my super exciting news.........Yep you have probably already guessed it.....I am pregnant!! :) The baby is due to arrive in July. I just started the second trimester and I am feeling much better. We feel so blessed and are excited to add another member to our family.

I have lots of pictures to post from the last couple of months. I'll try to catch up in the next couple of days. :)
