Christmas Fun has started!

Let the fun begin! In true Adams' family tradition Thanksgiving ended and next thing you know we are having the Adams Family Christmas Party. We went down to Magna with the whole crew. We were sad that Grandma Adams couldn't make it, but we understand. After the party we went to the lights on Temple Square. A little cold, but a lot of fun. I can't wait til Wyn really enjoys the lights.

Yes it's true, I did it. My first year decorating ANYTHING! I figured we better get a tree this year so Wynter would start to understand and know what Christmas is all about;-) It's been fun though, it really does bring the Holiday spirit into our home.

Christmas morning at our home. Wynter was so excited when she saw her new slide. She was a little apprehensive at first but now thinks she is pretty much invincible. She was excited when Grandpa and Gramma came to see her too.

The Christmas party with the Taylors is always a lot of fun. Grandma Hansen, Melissa, Natalie and I all matched so we just had to take a cute picture.

This was at the Adams house opening presents. I just love the excitement on Wynter's face!

My little girl is 1!

Wow, what a day that was! I can't believe my Wynter turned 1 already! I say this a lot, but man oh man time really does just fly by. We had a lot of fun with all our awesome family on both sides all squeezed into our front room. Wynter was a bit bewildered by it all. She was so lucky to have so many show up who love her. I was looking back on my blog and got teared up just with so many memories of her over the year changing and growing and learning. I really do remember bringing her home. She has brought so much love and joy and purpose to my life, I thank our Heavenly Father every night for letting us raise her.

We had a Owl themed party. It turned out really cute. Karly made this adorable little owl cake just for her to dive into. She didn't really dive into it per say, but kinda picked and picked at it. But man she loved it!

Not too bad huh? I've seen worse damage after the cake eating.

I just thought this picture was so cute of Wynter surrounded by some of her older cousins. She sure does look up to them already and thinks they are so cool!

Do we look like proud parents!?

Yes, she got spoiled. I think the party wore her out. By the time we finished opening presents she started waving good-bye and blowing kisses to everyone like she had had enough. A 3 hour nap followed.

Thank you again to everyone! You made it a special day with some great memories for us to share with her as she gets older.

I know I've been MIA...but where has the last 6 months gone!?

I do realize it has been a long time. Looking back at my last post I can't believe how much Wynter has changed yet again. She is just my little girl now...and I'm desperately trying to keep her my baby. Wynter is going to be 1 in just a few days and the feeling is bittersweet to me. How did the time fly by so fast? It has been so much fun! She is just an absolute JOY to Jason and I everyday!

As many of you know I have gone back to work, just part time, but that is my excuse for falling behind on the updates. But I do have some big ones to make! I'm working at Wells Fargo part time as the Area President's assistant. To my surprise I'm actually really liking it. I work with great people and the work is pretty easy, fun and NOT STRESSFUL! It's a perfect fit for me. It gets me ready and out of the house for the day, lets me interact with adults, and then I'm completely stoked to have the whole rest of the day to spend with Wynter. Wynter has really enjoyed it too! I am so luckily to have so much help from family. Between my mom, mother-in-law, and sister-in-laws I know that Wynter is being taken care of and loved. She loves playing with her cousins and I'm excited to see the relationship she forms with others. You'd think it would be sad when she reaches for other people, but it is such a comfort to me that she loves them and feels safe with them.

I don't know how he does it sometimes, especially now that it is getting cold, but Jason has been shuffling jobs driving to Idaho, Wyoming and Bear Lake working his little tail off. I am so grateful for him and what a hard worker he is. I am also grateful that recently he has been working not just In-town...but down the street from us. Wynter gets so excited to see her dad and all the funny things he does.

Jason and I are super excited but probably a little freaked out too to be expecting our 2nd child in May. I always wanted my kids close together to have it really happen makes me think..."what was I thinking?" LOL! Well it's a little too late for that now. I think it will be a little nutz for a bit, but how much fun will that be to have them such close friends. Well, that's what I pray for everyday anyway.

So these pictures are pretty random and not the best quality. I'm pretty limited while I'm at work. He! He! But hopefully it will hold you over. I'm excited to post pics of Wynter's birthday party and all the fun we will have during the holidays. Happy Holidays everyone!

We attempted a little family shoot.

We did our best to try and get some fall shots of the kids. Weird how they turned out best when the mom's were in the picture.

My little bug was a lady bug for Halloween (store bought)

Ben on the other hand was this adorable monster (Designer Karly made)

Wynter had a lot fun going to all the pumpkin walks.

The next pics are just funny moments I've happen to capture on my phone.

This is the only way I can get anything done in the kitchen

Wynter helped me tell my family that we were having another baby.

Look at this cute onesie that Karly made her.

Wynter thinks she is such a big girl in her new ride. She loves riding in the car. She does this silly fake laugh the whole time.

This was just Sunday dinner at the Adams, but I thought the pic was hilarious because of Wynter's face.

Wynter is 8 months and just changing everyday. We've had a lot of fun this summer. I will post a lot more pictures with updates soon. I just wanted to post a few quick pics so you can all see how much this little girl is growing.

Play-time! Winnie thinks she is pretty big sitting on her little truck.

This is the only way I can get any work done in the office.

I just sit her under the desk with a bunch of random office supplies.

She is good at getting in the crawling position but hasn't quite figured out how to go forward.

This was my blessing dress.

It was so neat to see Wynter wear it on her blessing day.

Jason and I had date night and went to the Tim McGraw concert while Auntie Mindie watched Wyn. Such a fun night!

The fun never ends

I just wanted to post a few cute pictures of the fun we've been having this summer so far. Wyn brings such a different aspect of fun to our lives. Just watching her learn and play during all her new adventures is so enjoyable.
We went to the Adams' family reunion last month. How fun it is to see all the new little babies! Grandma Adams has quite the posterity she is very proud about. We love you Grandma Adams!

Never thought mornings would be my favorite part of the day, but Wyn is so playful in the morning and comes up with all kinds of new games.

This was a mommy daughter day at the salon. LOL! Don't worry she'll get the hang of it pretty soon here and realize this is what girls love to do.

Wynie loves the pool, even if its the blow-up kind! Too bad the wind blew away. We woke up one morning and all the pool toys were scattered in the lawn and the pool was no where in sight.

Here is Wynter with 2 of her darling cousins Carly and Hailey. Hailey happens to be one of her favorite babysitters too!
My little fisherman buddy!

Fourth of July Fun with cousins! (Maddie, Halle and Ben)

Oh my gosh, she is the cutest!

My baby is 1/2 year old and oh soo much fun!!!

Wynter and I are so excited summer has arrived! She just loves being outside and going on walks. We've had a lot of fun already going to the pool, boating, and the zoo. Here are some pics to show you how cute this little girl is growing up.
She prefers her dad with his glasses off, as do I;-)

For Mother's Day creative Karly made Cherie some stepping stones with all the grand kids names and prints. Here is Wynter sitting next to hers.

I've heard a lot of kids don't like the feel of grass. Not Wynter, she loves playing in the grass.

Sweet shades baby!

We went down to Farmington to go to one of Wynter's little boyfriends, Boston's blessing. It was so good to see Katy and her cute family. It wasn't too long ago we were roomies and could only imagine our life's like this.

We went to Bear Lake with Jason's family. Wynter's first outing on the boat was fun. She hated her life jacket and slept for about an hour.

Wynter loves the swings! She thinks she is so big!
