Life As We Know It...

The Adams Family is blessed again!

2011-06-03T13:47:00.000-07:00

I have both of my children (boy that sounds weird) napping, so i have to make the most of my time right? Maybe I should I be napping too, but this 4 hours a night thing hasn't been too bad:-) I am happy to announce that Jason and I rocked our worlds one more time with the arrival of Nash Jason Adams on May 25th, 2011. He came at 3:11a.m. He weighed 8 pounds and was 20 1/2 (really 21) inches long. He has this cutest head of dark hair, that I'm sure will eventually go blonde:-( Of course, like Wynter, my little man is jaundice and has been soaking up the rays on his little tanning bed the last couple days. However, I think that is the safest place for him to be these days. Wynter is adjusting, I'm sure it will take some time;-) She loves looking at him but eventually it turns into poking and patting (a little too hard) and trying to lift the baby up. She is learning the art of a good tantrum and I'm hearing the word baby and no a lot these days. The saddest part is how fast this is making Wynter grow up. The day I brought Nash home, Wynter does not look the same to me. I have a "big girl" now...well kinda. I almost hate getting her dressed or doing her hair because it makes her look so much older. I'm so excited to survive this year and see my 2 little ones grow to be close friends. I can't believe how much my life has changed in the last 3 years. I asked Jason the other night that if he realized that i've been pregnant for 18 months out the 3 years we've been married! That's half the time!!! He assured me that he does realize that. Ha Ha!!!

My first time meeting my new boyfriend! I loved him instantly!

Not too sure if Wynter did though. This moment will stay in my heart forever though. She was so unsure but soft the first time she met her little brother. She will be a very helper one day.

And this picture right here sums up what my life is about! Love!

K, so I don't think Wynter and Nash look anything alike really. However, this pic (not the best quality) looks a LOT like Wynter's birth announcement.

Look at all that hair! He was born with a faux hawk.

My boys!
Jason has been so great and busy playing with (distracting) Wynter, moments like this don't come easy.

The best part about this pic is the way he is holding his hands if the guitar on his shirt was the other direction. Awesome!

Lets see, this makes number 18 for my parents. Grandpa loves that Nash evened out the head count for boys and girls with the grand kids. 9 and 9!

Just another moment to hold dear!

Umm...need I say more.

Spring is finally here...well kinda!

2011-05-01T12:08:00.000-07:00

It had been a REALLY LONG winter. And just like I, Wynter was feeling couped up. This was the first day we saw a glimpse of the sun and decided to take advantage of it and go to the park. She had a lot of fun on the swings and slide, but we may have jumped the gun a bit. That night Wynter had a fever of 104 and got the sickest I had seen my little girl get. Broke my heart!

Since then...Wynter got a taste of the great outdoors and pretty much insists on being outside everyday. Sadly, we get like one nice day followed by 4 rainy crappy days. We just pray one day it will warm up for good. Sure does make life with a one and half year old easier:-) This is at our favorite park the Whittier Center.

Wynter got some bubbles for Easter and was very excited to share and play with 2 of her cousins, Emily and Davis

One of my favorite things about Spring is Baby Animal Days. We just keep our fingers crossed that the weather will cooperate. Wynter has taken a real liking to Jason's dog Baxter. She loves him, and pets him, and feeds him treats, and follows him around constantly yelling Hey! I was excited to see her with the other animals to see if she would have any interest in them. She didn't disappoint.

Miss independent pretty much insists on walking everywhere on her own now. 2 minutes prior, Jason commented how well she had been walking and hadn't fallen in the mud. Way to jinx us babe!

As many of you may know, I am less than willing to have to have my picture taken while pregnant. This is Jason's FAILED attempt to cover my big butt so we could get a family picture.

I know I know, it happened twice in one day. I had to cooperate though to document this historical event though. Never again will all three of the us be pregnant together at the same time:-)

These are some pretty cute kids. Halle was there too, but like me, is camera shy. Can't believe in just about 7 more months there will be 3 new cousins.

This little girl loves her daddy!

I think the baby cows were her favorite!

I just had to throw this one in too. Easter Sunday Wynter fell on the sidewalk and got her first scratches on both knees. It was very sad for both of us. I dreaded this day and I'm know there are many more to come. Oddly, she didn't want any band-aids on them. I thought all kids loved band-aids. I had Hello Kitty ones ready just for this day and she wouldn't let me put them on. For the next couple days everytime you would change her she would see her boo boos and tell you about them and fake cry.

Christmas Fun has started!

2010-12-16T10:39:00.000-08:00

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!

2010-12-09T19:17:00.000-08:00

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!?

2010-11-24T09:17:00.000-08:00

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

2010-07-12T09:05:00.000-07:00

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!!!

2010-06-23T11:36:00.000-07:00

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!

Oh my goodness where did month 5 go!...

2010-06-02T10:17:00.000-07:00

Wow, I'm sorry! Month 5 just flew by and I didn't even get some pictures up. I will for sure post some very soon. Wynter just turned 6 months on the 27th. Oh my, she is getting so big! She has such a cute fun personality. She is so smiley and already realizing how to play games.

I starting work at Wells Fargo Financial part time in May. It was kind of a tuff transition but thanx to a lot of help from family we've been making it work. Needless to say, she is getting bounced around a lot, but also getting a LOT of attention and love.

Month 4 has arrived!

2010-04-06T10:43:00.000-07:00

I don't think they make them any cuter then this! This is one of her new spring Sunday dresses thanx to Grandma Eubanks. She looked like a such a big girl in it. This was a fun day, Jason and I were finally able to capture her laughing on video. Too bad you have to listen to me making annoying "quack quack" noises for 5 minutes to hear her giggle for 20 seconds;-)

4 months old and I'm starting to see a little of Jason in her. She is me from the nose up and Jason from the mouth down.
Seriously, does the phone thing start this early? LOL!

Mother nature played a joke on us and got us all excited for spring. It sure was fun to take Wynter on some walks though.

Two of my bestest friends Heidi and Melisa came to visit me a couple weekends ago. Unfortunately I didn't capture a shot of us all together. It's too bad Melisa and her kids live in Denver. Meliah looks like she'd be a great babysitter to have a round. I miss you guys soo much!

2010-03-22T18:22:00.000-07:00

I am so excited for 4 months because the last two weeks of month 3 have been so fun! I have a very advanced baby!;-) LOL! The last couple weeks she has been so much more alert to her surroundings and doing more and more exciting things. The other day I had her on her changing table doing the usual morning ritual. Anyway, I was chatting away with her in some kind of funny voice and she did a full on belly laugh. It was the cutest noise I have ever heard! I tried like crazy to get her to do it again. I guess I haven't quite figured out her sense of humor, because I couldn't get her to do it again for the life of me. The next morning she did the same thing. I can't wait until I know how to make her laugh and I hear that sound all day!. Then...a couple days ago Jason was doing some tummy time with her and out of the blue she just rolled over onto her back. Jason yelled to me to come in and see. Luckily for me, she did do it again. She loves sitting up in her bumbo seat and tries to sit up in the tub. And just today she finally started to look at the books I was reading her. Which is a good thing, because I swear the kids favorite toy is the remote control. I kid you not, she is just like her dad.

Such a look of determination!

She gets a lot of attention from her cousins and she loves it. Here she is with Luke and Cayden.

Notice where the binky is. Still a thumb sucker!
That little bear blankie thing is her new favorite thing to sleep with. She snuggles that thing and uses the blankie part to cover her face and eyes when she wants to go to bed.

Yup, there is the remote.

So close...but so far away!

2010-03-08T10:51:00.000-08:00

We almost won a new car Saturday night. Jason's name was drawn to shoot the half court shot at the Aggie vs. New Mexico game last Saturday. It was on TV and packed so the pressure was on. He was nervous but he did awesome. I think that is the closest anyone has come to winning the car. He had to shoot a lay-up, then a foul shot, then a three pointer, and finally the half court shot in 25 seconds. He made all three of the first shots perfectly with 10 seconds to spare for the half-court. Dead on from my view I thought for sure we won a car. But, turns out it was just about foot short. I was so proud of him though. How exciting to see him go out there and make all those shots. I'm just waiting for Stu to call with a scholarship offer;-)

She's a 1/4 of a year old!

2010-03-08T09:48:00.000-08:00

Time is just flying on by. It seems like everyhwere we go now all I hear is "how big Wynter is getting". It makes me kinda sad, but it sure is fun. I can't believe in 3short months how much she changes and learns. She's starting to really pay attention to the TV, play with her toys, and really follow us around the room.

It's pretty crazy, she has learned when she pulls that little handle it plays music. We'll just randomly hear music now when she is sitting in her play seat.

Yup, she is a thumb sucker. Cutest thing ever, but not a good habit;-)

This is one of Wynter's boyfriends, Owen Lietchy. He is a month older than her. It sure is fun when we get with our friends in the ward. There are so many of us with kids now.
Little Ben looks so handsome in his Sunday clothes. I love how much they are starting to pay attention to each other.
There is Popie with his "favorite" grandchild;-) LOL! Look how cute, they even match.

Daddy loves his little girl. Even with that flower on her head.

Such a happy pretty girl!

She's getting too big too fast!

2010-02-21T13:54:00.000-08:00

I love just how big and blue her eyes are!
It's defiantly more of Jason's color of blue than mine.

My pretty little girl!
What is it about jeans and shoes that makes her look so big!?

Wynter loves her bath!

Laying on the changing table or being in her bath is when she just talks up a storm.

No wonder Jason doesn't mind keeping her in the morning when I go to the gym.

So cute, I love how she just cuddles up to her dad.

2 month check-up

2010-01-31T11:17:00.000-08:00

I figure I'll at least drop in every month and just post some pics of Wynter so you can all see how much she is growing and changing. She just had her 2 month check-up. She weighs 11lbs and is 23 inches long. Guess I don't have to worry about the weight gain anymore:-) She is in the 55th% for her weight and and 75th% for her height. LOL! Hey as long as she is happy and healthy!

She is such a happy girl!
Wynter's first time to church.

ALOHA!

2010-01-30T10:05:00.000-08:00

Ok, so I don't have any tans lines to show for it, but we just got back from Hawaii and had the most amazing time! We went to Maui with Jason's family. I'm sure the trip was a lot different this time then any of the previous trips. I know Wynter defiantly changed what I imagined my first time to Hawaii to be. But I wouldn't change it for anything. What a memory we will have!

So this is where I'm thinking Wynter and I should spend our winters for the rest of forever! Can you blame me? Look how beautiful this place is! I miss Hawaii so much already! One week is not long enough.

Here is a shot of Wynter's first plane ride. All my anxiety was for nothing! She was such a good girl on the plane. Other than a feeding taking off and a feeding while landing she pretty much slept the whole flight. I guess it didn't hurt that we flew first class! She is so spoiled, now we always have to fly first class;-)

It was so fun to dress Wynter up in summer clothes. She loved being able to be outside in the warmth and fresh air. Just to take her on walks outside in the stroller made the whole trip worth it.

Sweet shades huh?

Wynter with her cousin Ben. This is what a 4 month difference looks like.

There were a lot of babies there in Hawaii, but Wynter was for sure the youngest! She got A LOT of attention everywhere she went. Actually, Jason got a lot of attention too! LOL! He is quite the chick magnet holding our little girl.

That is my fun in the sun. (Notice I'm in the shade!) Kind of a bummer little babies can't have sunscreen on just yet. It would have been a lot of fun to play with her in the pool and see her reaction.

Little Wynter didn't hold us back too much though. We did manage to go on a whale watch which was pretty amazing to see the whales that up close. They are huge! My very patient husband took me snorkeling for the first time which was a neat experience. And Jason was able to try paddle surfing too.

What a great trip! I truly feel blessed to have experiences like this and to be able to enjoy them with my family. Thank you so much Nana and Popie!

How do you stop time...

2010-01-10T12:24:00.000-08:00

Wynter is getting so big so fast! She grows right before my eyes! To think, a few weeks ago I was having trouble getting her to gain weight. Now, all her chub is back and I love it! I can't believe she is almost 2 months old. I thought that I wanted the first 4 months to fly by so she wouldn't just be a tiny little baby anymore. But I see these pictures and it makes me sad to think she won't be my tiny little baby for long. She is so fun, so alert and smiling and cooing. It's a good thing she is so happy in the morning. It makes the night so worth it;-) I think she is so happy in the morning because she wakes up and sees that we are still here after what she put us through in the night. LOL!

Adams Construction, we start em' young!

Jason took this picture. Guess you can tell her daddy makes her happy!

Christmas will be forever different now!

2009-12-28T10:45:00.000-08:00

Christmas was a lot of fun this year and I think its only going to get better. I would have been perfectly happy with Wynter as my gift this year, but I have an awesome husband and family that spoiled us rotten. We are so blessed and lucky to have both of our families so close. We spent Christmas Eve with my family and Chrsitmas Day with Jason's.

Jason suprised me with this beautiful piece of furniture for our entry way. I started snooping about a month ago. No wonder I couldn't find it;-) LOL! I was completely suprised and to top it off he place a dozen roses on it! I love my husband!

Christmas with the Adams is awesome. They have some pretty cool games that we can't wait to play every year;-) Wynter got a baby monitor from Santa. She is going to LOVE that;-) This year for Christmas Dave and Cherie are taking us to Hawaii in January. I don't know how much of a vacation its going to be, but I know it will be one memorable trip.
It sure is fun to go through and share all these new mom experiences with my sister in law Karly. Wynter loves her older cousin Ben. I really do think they still remember each other from the other side. Wynter smiles when ever we talk a bout Ben to her.

I can't believe it's already been 3 weeks!

2009-12-17T10:12:00.000-08:00

Wow...time goes by fast with a newborn. You have no idea how you are gonna survive then all of sudden you realize you've made it 3 weeks on 63 hours of sleep! I think I may have a little help from above;-) So after the jaundice, Wynter never did quite make it back to her birth weight. So last week with her weighing 7lbs 8oz, my goal was to get her to 7lbs 10oz in a week. Seems simple in theory. Ahh...no, she didn't gain one ounce in a week. How is that even possible? So now my day is consumed with her eating. A bottle of formula, then about 10 minutes on me, then pump, then do it all over again. Poor thing can't get to sleep now her belly is so bloated, so that means no sleep for me either;-)
She sure is a lot of fun though and sooo cute! She changes everyday to me and gets more and more alert. I love how she just gazes up at the ceiling or straight into my eyes. She's pretty aware of my voice too. I love watching her turn her head side to side to find what direction I'm in.

Here is a picture of the nursery. It's so pretty and peaceful. Jason painted the stripes on the wall and I painted her crib a warm silver color. I had a lot of help from friends and family with the nursery too. Thank you Karly for the bumper pad and thank you Danya for the curtains. I love having crafty domestic women in my life.

So cute, she found her thumb. I don't know if that's a good thing, but its cute and keeps her quiet until I'm ready to feed her.

So I needed to make sure that my little dancer was comfy in a tutu. We did a little photo shoot, she wasn't too thrilled about it.

I love blue so I couldn't wait to put this little outfit on her. LOL! She looked like a little boy so I threw on some pink socks.

Karly is so nifty. She made Christmas PJs for all the kids. We took them over to Nana's house to get a picture in front of her beautiful tree. LOL! Yeah right, that went well.

Finally...something to blog about!

2009-12-07T13:39:00.000-08:00

So not a lot had happened since my last post. Just they rest of the summer with me getting bigger and bigger. But...Jason and I finally have some exciting news. We are the proud new parents of the sweetest little girl, Wynter Rose Adams. Yes, yes, Wynter came early for Jason and I, and surprisingly I'm very happy about it.
November 27th, 2009 at 1:32 am I was able to hold my little girl in my arms. I had spent most of Thanksgiving day in pain with back labor up at Jason's parents house. By the time we returned home, I couldn't take too much more and was crying through nearly every contraction. I told Jason I have to go to the hospital even if its just to get some morphine. Luckily I was dilated to a 3 and they didn't make me leave. I had an epidural about an hour later and started feeling great! Jason called Grandma Eubanks and Nana to come to the hospital. About 3 hours and 3 pushes later Wynter was here. I guess I'm one of the lucky ones that doesn't have a horror story about the labor and delivery. I can't imagine ever forgetting the pain of the back labor though;-) Enjoy some pics, I will be posting more!

Jason found the whole delivery thing very interesting actually. He watched the whole thing and nervously cut the umbilical cord.

First family photo. Wow...that's an attractive picture;-)

We took Wynter home Saturday evening. So sad, she was jaundice and had to be on the lights for 3 days. She actually really didn't mind her little tanning bed. I think it was harder on mommy than her. She is doing much better now and slowly losing her tan (yellowness).

I'm wondering if Wynter is going to a mommies girl or a daddy's girl;-) Jason is in love with her. He is already so amazing with her and LOVES holding her.

I love how eager Jason is to dive into daddy duties! He gave Wynter her first bath, but we didn't capture it:-( However, I did get some shots of the first changings. Jason's first diaper was massive. LOL! I still laugh when I think of that thing and how perfect it was that it was his first one. She didn't take it easy on her daddy at all. But he was a total trooper!

She's not too sure about the bows either:-) Thank goodness she has hair!

She for sure looks like me. I saw my nose in the ultrasound pic and the minute I held her I saw me. Not too sure what the hair is going to do yet though.

Oh yeah...I forgot about this thing;-)

2009-09-22T11:01:00.000-07:00

Ok, so update part 2! I promise I'm gonna get better at this. If blogs are the thing you are suppose to do when you get married, it's for sure the thing you do when you are having a baby!!! Jason and I celebrated our 1 year anniversary in June. We are expecting our first baby, a little girl the beginning of December. Yeah, we don't mess around! It's pretty exciting watching the Adams Family grow right before our eyes. Within the last year and half we got married, Mindie and Kevin had their second little girl (Halle), Danny and Karly had their first a little boy (Ben)and now we are just awaiting the arrival of our new addition (?).
So as you can see a lot has happened. I'll post some pictures of some of the fun we've had this summer. It's hard to believe it's almost over. I'm not gonna lie, I'm kinda ready for Wynter (oops, I mean winter) to come. I need to get better at the picture taking thing. But I'll admit, I've been a little uncooperative with getting my picture taken during this glorious and most attractive nine months:-)

Earlier this spring, Jason and I went on cruise. We flew to Miami and then explored the Bahamas for four days. We had a great time although I wouldn't have minded bagging the ship and just staying at our amazing condo in Miami or the beautiful Atlantis resort the whole time.

My friend let us stay at his "rental" property in Miami for a couple nights before we took off for the Bahamas. This was the view of Miami from the condo.

That's just a couple snap shots of our pimped out penthouse. You too could be a guest at this condo for a mere $20,000/month. Just let me know if you are interested, I'll hook ya up with him;-)

There was a lot of work and a lot of play this summer. Jason slaved away on the yard and I am so thankful to say we now have a beautiful yard. There were so many people who had shown up to help lay sod, we had the whole thing done in about 2 hours. We did however manage to make it boating a few times, golfing a couple times, and even a little four wheeling.
Just finished the yard! As my brother Logan would say...Instant "grassification"
Jason's daily excerise...long boarding down our hill.
The back ho has been a permanent fixture in our yard. However, you won't hear my nieces and nephews complain. Visiting uncle Jason means a back ho ride.
Do you think Maddie knows she has her Uncle Jason wrapped around her finger?

During the summer one of Jason's bestest buddies, Josh Whitney got married in Tahoe. Jason and the guys headed to Tahoe and I headed to Denver to visit some of my girls.

The happy new couple, Josh Whitney and his beautiful bride Marissa.

We are so happy for you two!

The groom and the best man (at least I think he is)
The guys!

I'm so grateful for the wonderful family and friends we have. Both a sister-in-law and one of my greatest friends were pregnant with me. Both of them have already had their extremely handsome sons. Lucky them, they both went 3 weeks early! It was way fun to have joint showers with them. I'll have to post more pics when I have them.

Uncle Jason getting the hang of it!

Jason and I just got back from Philadelphia. Lucky us, we have a friend who plays for the Eagles and we were able to go out and watch a game. Thank you Kevin for hooking it up and letting us stay with you. We had a lot of fun seeing the sights and enjoyed the beautiful weather at the game. Too bad they lost:-(

Baxter Stuck in the Grand Canyon

So Jason has been working a LOT on our house the last couple weeks. He's finished with the back patio and it's on to the yard. I gotta say it's very impressive to see all that he can do in a day. For example, Saturday I came home to find him in the trenches. Jason had dug a hole the size of the Grand Canyon on the side of our house. No more than an hour later, he had the whole thing filled up again. The funny part was this pic he took of Baxter. Hilarious, Baxter climbed down into the trench with him, but couldn't figure out how to turn himself around to get out. He did this funny moonwalk thing trying to walk backwards to get out. What a dumb dog;-)

Baxter has LOVED all of Jason's yard work because it's that much more time he has outside to be with him.

A Very Wicked Good Time!

Last weekend the Adams girls finally got to cash in on our Christmas present from last year. Cherie and Dave got us all tickets to Wicked. It was so much fun to go down and spend the weekend with my mother-in-law and sister-in-laws. We stayed at the Little America Friday night. We walked to Macaroni Grill for dinner before the show. It was hilarious to see all four of us matching with black umbrellas walking in the rain being followed by a drunk bum!!! The show was crazy good. I enjoyed it so much. Saturday we had a fun filled day of shopping! Karly and I had a riot trying on baby bumps while shopping for maternity clothes. The weekend was so much fun! I am so blessed to have such wonderful family on both sides.

Cherie can never pass up a good photo opportunity!

I gotta admit, although I usually don't do PINK,

It turned out pretty cute and we got a lot of looks!

Don't I look thrilled to be this big and trying on pregnancy pants!
Oh my gosh, I hope I don't look this lumpy and bumpy when I am this big!

Easter Weekend

2009-04-14T08:29:00.000-07:00

We had a fun Easter weekend. Surprisingly, the weather wasn't completely miserable! Saturday Jason and I were finally able to take our new bikes for a ride. Jamie (my bike) and I put in a good 10 miles our first time together. Not too bad huh? But my sit bones are not too happy with me right now. Saturday afternoon Mindie and Kevin came up from Daybreak with the girls. We were all hoping the weather was going to stay decent enough for us to go to Baby Animal Days. And it did!

Maddie was so impressive.

She wasn't scared at all to hold any of the animals.

Especially when Uncle Jason was there to assist.

He loves doting on her.

Dave paid the lady $1 to let me hold the boa.
I wasn't scared at all either;-)

Update...

It's snowing again today. I guess the warm weather last week was just a teaser. It worked though. Jason and I went out and bought new mountain bikes! I'm pretty excited to have something healthy and fun that we can do together. I am determined to not let this just be another phase and to actually the use them.

This is a picture of my new bike Jamie. Jason and I both got Jamis bikes from Wimmers. She sure is a cutie and I'm going to love her and ride her everyday!

Wow...Can't believe I'm doing this

So, it seems the thing to do when you get married is start a blog. Jason and I are hitting our 1 year in just a few months, so I figure this is a good time to get started. You'll have to bare with us, sometimes I think the creativity gene is missing in me. I'm kinda excited for this new adventure though. So a lot has happened during the last 9 months...let me get you up to speed.

Jason finished building our house just a few months before we got married.

I gotta say, I was one lucky girl to be getting married and moving into such a lovely home.

The Happiest Day of our lifes! LOL! Minus the 2 hours of picture taking in the 90 degree weather. It was awesome so many of our friends and family could come share this day with us.

My handsome hubby! Makes me happy everyday!

We had so much fun on our honeymoon in San Diego.

We went to the Zoo, Wild Animal Park, and Seaworld.

Sucks when the honeymoon is over;-)

We try to make each others dreams come true.

Jason would want to be a pilot (If he didn't have to go to school for it) so I took him flying.

I would love if I could ever see the Broncos win in person.

(I'm 0-3)

Our first Christmas together (literally). We had such a great Christmas!

We were lucky enough to see both out families.

Winter lasted entirely way too long!

After two sprained ankles, I think even Jason would agree we are ready for spring!
