Graduation (:

This past weekend, memorial weekend, we went to Michigan for Taylor's (Michael's sister) graduation. It was a very last minute kind of thing so we weren't able to make it for the actual graduation. However, we did make it for her open house. We made it a weekend trip. 

We were kind of nervous how Adelaide would do on a 13 hour drive up there and on a plane flight back. But, as luck would have it we were blessed with an amazing daughter! She slept almost the whole way to Michigan! She woke up around 4 times and then just went right back to sleep after she ate and was changed. Once we finally made it there I fed her and then she went to sleep and only woke up once that night. I am continually amazed at how awesome she is!

We arrived in Michigan at about 1:30am on Saturday and slept. We didn't want to wake anybody up so we just went right to bed. Adelaide woke up at about 6ish and we didn't really go back to sleep. So at around 7-8ish we went inside and got some breakfast when everyone woke up. They were all so excited to finally meet baby Addi! They all loved on her so much! It was a crazy day though because they had Taylor's open house to get ready for. No one knew we were coming in except for Mike's dad and step-mom. So we had surprised Taylor, Nana and Tia (and everyone else up there too). 

Taylor's open house was really cool! We are so proud of her for graduating! She is going to Michigan State University in August to be a vet! She is so smart and we all know that she will go far in life! We love her so much!

haha mike took this (:

On Sunday we cooked out and just hung around the house with everyone since we had to leave the next morning. It was so much fun spending the weekend up there! We got to the airport and waited for our flight. Adelaide slept the whole flight until the last 45 minutes. So I fed her and she was very happy and content until she got a full diaper. (: We were glad to be home but missed everyone in Michigan.

AWWW (:

Aunt Taylor (:

Since our Memorial Day was spent traveling I would like to thank all those who died for our freedoms we have today! We are so blessed to live in the country and to enjoy all the freedoms that we have when there are so many around us who don't have what we do. I am blessed to have a husband who is willing to serve his country. I hope we all realize that we are so blessed.

1 Month Already?!

Well my baby girl is officially one month old as of Monday! How crazy is that?! I feel like it was just last week that I had her! Time definitely flies with kids! She is a wonderful baby! I am so blessed. She has started to smile a ton! Her eyes are as blue as ever too. I don't know at what point a baby's eyes change to their color, but I'm starting to think that they won't change. I dont know how she would end up with blue eyes though. Mike has brown and I have green...that does not add up to blue! But she is just a beautiful as ever and changing so much. She already looks so different. 

Not much has really happened lately. We did have Adelaide's blessing on Mothers Day, which was amazing! Michael did such a good job and we had a wonderful day. Michael was really sweet and actually bought me a beautiful necklace, a painting and handmade a card! I don't know how I got so lucky! (: 

We were so sleepy that day, this is the best I got.

This past week/weekend Michael was gone for the Military. So from Thursday-Sunday I went to my parents house to spend some time with them. I really enjoyed hanging out with them. Since we live with Michael's parents, it was really nice to be with my own family. Adelaide did so well being away from home. Although I do think she contracted a cold from someone over there. :( We were both super excited to see Michael when he got home. I missed him like crazy! The bad thing is that he has annual training in California for 2 weeks at the end of June. I have no idea what I'm gonna do!! He is such a great dad and he is so helpful. I just hope it goes by quickly!

I love this picture so much!

Two Weeks Notice (:

Well, its been about two weeks since the birth of our daughter. Honestly I feel like the time has flown by already! I am feeling sooo much better. I still have a hard time walking around for longer than an hour but I am definitely 100 times better. I love my baby girl so much!!! She is so precious! She is such a chill baby which has been so nice! we definitely have our days but she is so good!
We went to church for the first time yesterday since Adelaide has joined our family. It was really good. She slept through most of it which I was okay with. (: Everyone just loved her, even though I had a few people ask me if it was a boy. It's amazing how much your life changes when you have a baby. Everything that was important to you before has now taken a backseat to this tiny little child. The good thing is, I don't mind that! She is everything to me! 
It makes me so grateful to know that families can be together forever. I know that I will be with my family after we die. That is the wonderful thing about the gospel. I am glad that I know that and I am happy with the choices I have made. Michael is an amazing father. He is always there for me and for Adelaide. I can't imagine what it's like leaving everyday for work and being away from me and Addi. I don't like to leave her for more than an hour unless I have to, so for him to do that is really amazing. He supports and comforts me through everything. I am so grateful for him!
Michael and I have our 1 year anniversary coming up this June. I'm not sure what we are going to do. We have a lot to be saving for so we can't really do anything too special. I would really like to take a little weekend trip somewhere but it's not really in the cards for us. So we will probably just go out for a fancy date, probably to Wendy's or something. LOL 
Until next time....
