TuTu Cute!

So in my searches on the internet, I came across a website that gave instructions on how to make a tutu. After seeing the pictures, I simply could not resist. The end result: I am so glad that I have no willpower! I solicited my mom's help. Thank goodness I did... after a cutting mishap, her sewing expertise saved the day! Thank Heavens for Grandmas!



Adalyn also wanted to be a part of the tutu making process. She was a big help...Until she got bored! Then Aunt Melissa took over and got her right to sleep!

We Love Daddy!!

Adalyn had this cute outfit on today and it inspired me to let Devin know how much he is loved. The best part of the day is when Devin comes walking through the door of our house. Adalyn gets a huge smile on her face when she sees him. It is very obvious that she loves her Daddy. Devin has been sick lately and to avoid getting Adalyn sick, he hasn't played with her much. I could tell how much it affected them both. Adalyn would just watch Devin with an expression that seemed to say, "Why aren't you playing with me!" I don't know what I did in Heaven to deserve a man who not only is an amazing husband, but the best father anyone could ask for. So Devin, while you are working away, know that two lil ladies are home thinking about you. WE LOVE YOU!!

Goodbye Summer... Hello Fall

As a farewell to summer my mom, sister Melissa, Devin, Adalyn, and I decided that we should hike up Waterfall Canyon in Ogden. It was so beautiful up there and a really good workout... especially for Devin who had to carry Adalyn the entire way up the steep hike. Adalyn loved being outside and having so many new things to look at.

And Going back down... This is Ogden Valley















To kick-off the Fall Season we headed down to Thanksgiving Point for the Cornbelly's Corn Maze and Pumpkin Fest. We went with Devin's sister Shannon and her kids Natalee and Carson. It was so much fun... and such a great way to get excited for fall. Here are some pics from the day.

Walking through the corn maze... we cheated and took an emergency exit to get out.

Look at Me...I'm 5 Months Old

It's hard to believe that another month has come and gone! Adalyn is growing up way too fast, but it is so much fun watching all the new things that she does. Here are a few videos to show what she has been up to lately.

Please excuse Devin's commentary on this one.

Also, I have come to find that my attempts to lay Adalyn down for a nap don't always work. I swaddle her up really nice so that she can have a comfortable, uninterrupted sleep... just as this picture shows.
















However, when I go back in to check on her, this is generally what I find...

She breaks free from her blanket, and scoots herself all the way to the other side of the crib. My favorite is when she just looks up at me and grins like, "You can't get mad at me!" It's hilarious.

Hello... Nice to Meet You

We finally got to meet our nephew Kayson! My sister Angie and her husband Aaron finally came to visit from Ohio. This is the first we have seen of them since their little boy was born and it was so fun. Adalyn immediately began reaching for him and touched his face and hands. It was so adorable ( I didn't get any pictures of that but my sister did so hopefully I will get them soon). Since Kayson and Adalyn met they have enjoyed watching each other and even talking to each other. It is pretty funny to watch. Kayson is such a handsome little man and we are so glad that we have been able to spend some time with him. It has been so fun having all of them out here. They were also able to bless him here so the whole family could be there. It was great.
