Zoo Day!

We took Addy to Hogle Zoo in February when they had free day.  It was fun, but I'm glad we didn't have to pay! We saw everything in about 1 1/2 hours.  Seth and I both remember the zoo being a lot bigger, but I guess they have a whole part under construction.  (plus, we just remember it from when we were kids so it probably seemed bigger back then)
Addy loved the baby elephant
 She also loves balls, so she got excited whenever she saw with one of the animals.  The tiger was especially exciting because he was actually playing with his. (didn't get a picture though)

Daddy taught her to put her lips together and make an elephant sound. She's actually really good at it

She prefers to walk rather than ride...
bad picture...there's a monkey behind us...

My favorite picture!  She was mesmerized.  She loved the monkeys! (she's good at making that noise too, haha)

This is what she was looking at in the above picture

She was exhausted after all that excitement

Back in January...

We went to the BYU MBA "Winter Spectacular"

We took one last picture of Addy's mullet before she got her first haircut
The "after" pictures...


LOVE those cheeks!
Found out that Addy loves the carousel.  She giggled, waved, & blew kisses each time she circled around and saw everyone she knew.

Oldies but goodies


These pictures were all taken at the end of last year (2010)...Since I got behind on my blogging I just had to put some of my favorites on here:
Gangster Addy


2 cousins reading with grandpa and grandma

Oops. the whole box of cereal got dumped out by Addy

Playing outside with grandpa in her new shades

The cold doesn't even phase her, as long as she is outside she is happy. 


Got my purse and sunglasses, now let's go!  Totally a girl through and through

It's the little things

Just wanted to post some pictures!  I haven't taken any with my camera FOREVER, so these are off my phone.  Adalyn is 18 months old! 
She can officially go to nursery now (although RSV has been going around so we may hold off)
She goes and plays in another nursery that no one else is in, that will work for another couple weeks.
Just no classes yet for mom and dad:)

She is growing so fast!  I swear she says 3 or 4 new words a day. 
She continues to make me laugh throughout the day.
She loves getting her fingernails painted.
She's more cuddly and shares hugs and kisses all the time :) 

She is also very bossy.
She knows what she wants and when she wants it.
She still loves to get her groove on and dances whenever she hears music
She likes to jump on the bed

We went to Sam's Club last week. 
Lately it has been a fight to keep her in the shopping cart. 
She likes to help push it or go off on her own.  
Well, she finally found a place in the cart she liked, sitting on the box of wipes!
I thought it was so cute and got my phone out to take a picture and all of a sudden she says,
"CHEESE!" and smiled.
First time she's ever said it.
I was amazed. 

It's the littlest things they do that are so monumental.  
Maybe it's because we're still new at this...
We got so excited when she learned all of her animal sounds.
It's such a big deal when they learn where their body parts are,
and when they can read part of a book,
and say words like "duck, book, beast, shoes, socks...etc"
She is like a little sponge just absorbing everything she can.
There is so much to learn, it's so exciting to watch her discover the world around her!
