Easter

So yeah I know that this is really late but I just haven't got around to blog since we got home.
Anyway, this is from our ward Easter Hunt. Adeleah had a lot of fun getting eggs and she really liked the candy that was in them:)



Our Easter morning. I got Adeleah sand toys for after we more to Hawaii.
She had to take a little of daddy's candy too!

We had a really good Easter this year, Adeleah makes it a lot of fun. We look forward to the Easters to come and all the fun she brings.

1st Birthday!!!!!

The Birthday Girl!!!
One of our friends with Adeleah.
One of the gifts from mommy and daddy. Her big gift from us is her new car seat, we are hoping that by the time we get home from our trip she will be able to be in it.
Dress from Grandma H.

The pick one was a birthday gift and I just put the other bow on her for fun.


After the alligator farm we come home and had a little party for Adeleah. A few of our friends and their kids come over. We played with the wii and the kids played with toys and just had fun for a little bit. Then Adeleah opened her gifts. After that we got her ready for cake, sing Happy Birthday to her, and gave her a big piece of cake. Well, Adeleah did fine with the song but the cake that is a different story. She didn't want anything to do with it, she cried until we got her out of her chair and away from the cake and ice cream. She was happy again in just her diaper running around the house. I tried to give her some of the cake after everyone was gone and she had three bites and has not had anymore since. But besides the fact that she hated her cake it was a good 1st birthday. We just can't believe our baby is one.

Oh and the next day she had her check up, she is doing great and hated the whole appointment. She is 28.7in and 18.52lbs, 50%.


Alligator Farm


This one is just crazy looking.

She wouldn't sit on it without daddy.



Adeleah loved all the glass.

Giant Tortoises

There are tons of alligators there, 23 different species of them.

Gabe trying to get Adeleah to like it, I don't really know if this helped or not:)



She didn't like this fake one at all, it was funny.




For Adeleahs Birthday monday we went down to St. Augustine to the Alligator farm. We have wanted to go and thought that since we are moving soon it was a good time to. The weather was really nice and we have never saw so many alligators and different ones in my life. Adeleah had a lot of fun walking around and looking at everything. But she didn't like the big fake one.

Reenlistment and ........

Gabe reenlisted in the navy for another 5 years. Which to me means a pay check, health, and job for the next 5 years. It also means a lot of other things like worry, time apart, and all the other things that come with being a wife in the navy. But with all that I am happy with this and excited for all the good things that happen, like moving to Hawaii for three years! As for that we are getting excited we have just over a 100 days until the move. Its going to be a lot of fun living there but I don;t look forward to the first few months. It is going to take 60-75 days for our things to get to HI and we have to get on a waiting list for housing when we get there and it could take months to get into a house. But even if we get one before our things come we won't have anything to live with. And so we are going to live in a hotel until we get into a house and if that is before or after our things come we will take it and learn to have fun with a very empty home:) It will all work out and come on we are going to be living in Hawaii. Oh and our move/flight to HI is on June 4th.


(They give a thing to the wife saying thanks for the support during the time your husband is in the navy. It is very nice that they do this and I am just thankful that I can be here with my wonderful husband.)


Adeleah right now is very big into "I'm going to get ya," she loves to have you get her. All you have to do is day that right now and she will turn around and take off. When Gabe gets home from work she won't go to him at all, she just wants him to play. It is so funny:) This is how I got this picture, her running away so I can come after her.
Coming to mama. I love this little girl so much and I don't what I would do without her in my life. I can't believe she will be one in just over a week and I can't believe that a year ago I was big and pregnant with her. She really is a joy in our life, even when she is doing something bad she looks cute and that makes me so mad. I just want to get after her for what she is doing and then she will look at me and smile. Oh and she now knows how to clap, you just have to ask and she knows what you want. She also has 10 teeth, 6 on top and 4 on bottom. The last two have not been fun and she has had a cold to come with them. So life has not been so fun for her the last week or for us. We have to hold her down, to take care of her nose. You would think we are taking one of her toes off with all of the crying. Hopefully she will get well very soon. The only other thing right now that I wish would go away is the always needing mama. She doesn't really even like to go to daddy, I worry how she is going to be next month when we go home to ours parents for 2 weeks. Besides that she is doing great and we love Adeleah very much and look forward to watching her eat cake on her b-day.
Adeleah has been playing with this bag all day and thought it was cute.
So like I said we are taking a trip to see our families. We are going to fly out to Reno and see my side for a few days, I also get to see my best friend Heather. I haven't got to see her for almost 3 years, since then she has married and is pregnant. I am very excited to see her again. After that we area going to go to Oregon and spend a week with Gabes side. It should be a good trip and nice to get away and hopefully see some snow. I haven't got to see or play in snow since before we got married and I miss it. When we get home Gabe will be starting his schooling that he has for two months before we move. Anyway, that is whats been going on around here.

Christmas

Adeleah in her Christmas dress.
I think she was very cute all done up for Christmas Sunday.

The tree with all the gifts.
Adeleah right after she got up, looking at the stockings.
Playing with what was in her stocking. One of the things on the floor was not hers, she liked to take daddy's things that day.
Us Christmas morning.
Adeleah with all of her gifts.
Going after daddy's gifts, I guess she thought she needed more.
A picture from my Grandma Harper, she got one for all the great grand kids.
Her bunny from Seth and Sarah.
She got two story books from us.
Her baby doll that we got her.
She likes to eat her baby.


We had a really good Christmas this year. Adeleah made it all a lot more fun and exciting for us. She is loving all her gifts. Gabe and I both got some really good ones. Gabe got me a bread machine, which all of us have been enjoying. I will post a few videos from Christmas later. But anyway, since then we have just been getting paper work and other things done that we need to by the end of the month for our move to Hawaii. It has all been a little crazy with getting it done and finding more things out. Like that it can take up to 60-75 days to get our things over to Hawaii and that while we wait on a list for housing we will be living in a hotel. Oh how I look forward to that with a 15 month old child. Anyway hope you are all having a great start to the new year.
