Three Wonderful Years

Its has been three wonderful years, I am so thankful for them and for all the wonderful blessings in our life together. I look forward to the next year and all the many years to come with my best friend and husband.

Ward Christmas Party

The dinner was great and we had a great time. Adeleah got to met Santa. This was the 2nd time Gabe took her up to see if she would be any better. At least she wasn't crying.
This was the first time when Gabe and I took her up. Part of it was that she wanted me when daddy had her and then she went to Santa and not mama. Is it bad that I found this very funny.

These two are just some pictures I took in the morning of her. I thought she just looked cute.

Disney World

We went to Disney World last week and had a great time. One of Gabes sisters and her family come with us from Oregon. It was great to spend sometime with them and the boys seemed to have fun with Adeleah, just not when she cried.

Day 1: Epcot

Looking at the fish after we got off Nemo & Friends

Day 2: Hollywood Studios

Waiting to watch the show of Beauty and the Beast- live on Stage.

Day 3: Blizzard Beach for half the day.

Adeleah loved the water and wanted to play with all the other kids.

Day 3: part 2: Magic Kingdom

Gabe, Adeleah, and I

Adeleah and I on Cinderella's Golden Carrousel.

Adeleah on her fav ride, "Its a Small World." She loved it.

Day 4: Animal Kingdom
This is all of us together.

I don't think I need to say what this is.

The day we were at Animal Kingdom it rained so wasn't the best day but we still had fun. That night Gabe and I were able to go to the temple, it was great like always. Thanks Courtney for watching Adeleah for us.

Day 5: Magic Kingdom

All together

It was cold the last day and so Adeleah got this to help keep her warm. It is so cute.

Everyone, but Adeleah and I, on Splash Mountain.

Them going down.

Adeleahs first time on Dumbo.

And you know how these three are.

Us at the very end just before leaving the park. We had a great time and are now happy to be home and look forward to Christmas next week.

Adeleah, Christmas, and whatever else I remember...

Adeleah is doing great and a great joy to us. She is growing up way to fast. She can get anywhere in the house she wants to and with great speed. The doors to all the rooms and bathrooms have to stay closed now. She has been able to pull her self up now for about a month, which means she can get into even more things. In the last week she has started letting go of things and just standing. Before we know it she is going to waking. I don't know if we are ready for that. Adeleah now has 7 teeth and we believe more on the way. She thinks that whatever you are eating she should get too. Adeleah loves food, just not peas. Its the one thing I can't get her to eat. Besides that she is doing great and we are enjoying most everything about her:)

Standing for the first time.

How she would like to eat all the time!

The day after we put the Christmas tree up, she doesn't get into it as much as I thought she would but still enough. She is getting better about it as time goes by. I can't wait for Christmas with Adeleah, it may take us a long time to open things this year but I am very excited for our first as a family.
So for Thanksgiving we spent it with friends of ours from church and their big crazy family. It was really nice and fun to see how others do Thanksgiving. That night I started to put up Christmas. I love Christmas it is the best time of the year. The day after we went and got our tree, I had to get a big one, thanks Gabe for letting me drive you crazy with picking one out. So the house has been done since the first of Dec and as of yesterday everyone that we needed to get gifts for are done. I only need to get two more things for Gabe and we have to get a few more things for Adeleahs stocking. Oh and on the 3rd we had Gabes work Christmas party, they have door drawing and Gabe won a 19" TV. But we didn't really need one that small, so we took it back and got the money. With the money we got a really nice used keyboard. We have been wanting to get one because it is easier to move around with us being in the navy. I have a piano at my parents but we can't move it all over and so until we can have it, we have the keyboard. Besides all that we have just been enjoying the season and being together as a family. Oh and we have a orders to Hawaii on paper now, we can leave here on June 3rd and must be there by June 14th. We are both very excited for the move.
