Moving In

Unpacking. Gross. Ugh...horrible. I am sure this will keep us busy for the next few days but stay tuned! More interesting stuff to come later...

Colorado Vaca!

So, Brett, Adalie, and I got to Colorado Springs. It was a very long trip starting late Monday night around 10 pm and driving straight through and arriving at our final destination around 5:00 Tuesday night. It turned out to be a great idea to leave late at night because Adalie slept from about 10pm until 8 am. Phew!! Everyone was really excited to see us...mostly baby I am sure. She already has people around here wrapped around her little finger haha. Wednesday morning we went to the Co Springs zoo with Great Grandpa, Grandma, Grandpa, and cousin Nick. It was so much fun! We even got to feed the giraffes and the birds! And Adalie got her first ride on a carousel.

Thursday I got to go to my first professional baseball game and it was so much fun! We got to go to this buffet served before and during the game all the food you could eat! Yum! Skysox killed the Las Vegas 51's and I even got up enough courage to take a picture with the mascot. For those of you who don't know, mascots freak me out, hence my facial expression. Now it is Friday and I just want to relax and maybe play some wii. Tomorrow will be a long day at the water park!

Here we go!

So at exactly 12 a.m the long road trip begins.... 18 hours to Colorado Springs, with a baby in the car. ugh. Well, we are all packed and now we just need to say our goodbyes....it has been a very long day but it has been a very very good summer. Wish us luck on the road! See you in Utah!!

More from Adalie

Have you met Adalie's best friend Felix?
They both love chocolate, the outdoors, bits of string, chasing things on the floor and putting them in their mouths (i.e balls, coins, etc.), eating cat food, and drinking from a cat bowl...
If there is another thing we have learned from our summer experience it is that Adalie loves animals, all sorts but especially cats. I am relieved that she isn't allergic and has been able to stand a few cat scratches without getting catch scratch fever.


And, we have found an easier solution to getting adalie to Colorado...

Countdown Continues

6 days left in Texas until Christmas 2009...sad isn't it? I have started my packing which makes Brett frustrated because I tend to always pack something he needs or the shirt he wants to wear. I on the other hand have my clothes perfectly laid out - one outfit for each day, clean undies to last me a week, socks, and pjs, all I need right? Don't get me wrong, I am not that anxious to leave, I just hate waiting until the last minute to pack and leaving lots of random things behind. Of course there are some last minute things we need to do before we leave the great state of Tejas....a last trip to Casa Ole, Jack and the Box, and Jody Leigh's oh, also visits with friends and family, haha. I don't really want to think about that part now though because it makes me want to cry, so we won't mention to much of that just yet...
Utah will be nice to get back to I am sure. We have a brand new place, Brett still gets his dream job teaching at the MTC, and every semester at school is a semester closer to being done.
It has been a wonderful summer in Texas though, not for the lack of bad luck that we have had, but definitely worth the time with our family.

How its Been

Adalie's first real hair do =)
So, it has been a bit since I have updated so let me think what has been going on... Friday was my last day of work at good ole' Bealls woo hoo! What a really really boring job...I think I will stick to the restaurant business until I am done with school. Although it can be stressful, it is hardly ever boring and I am really tired of folding clothes....
We are starting the countdown for our move back to Utah. I have already started packing up our stuff and trying to clean house. Brett is finishing up his job on Friday of this week. Our plan is to head out Monday night, well Tuesday 12 AM to be technical. See, we don't have AC in the trip so we figured that leaving at night would keep us a little cool for a while, and hopefully Adalie will sleep better in the car if we leave while it is still dark. I am glad though we are making a stop in Co Springs to see Brett's family...an 18 hour trip with a baby in the car is better than a 27 hour trip with a baby in the car. Plus, we get to have a little fun with Brett's family before we get back to school.
Fun news! Brett and I got our Vegas package in the mail! Yay! We are staying 3 nights in the Sahara on the Vegas strip and I am really excited for the two of us to get away together. Although I know I am going to miss Addie, she will be in good hands with her Grandparents and I will enjoy the relaxation and rejuvenation!So, who else has been enjoying the Olympics? Brett and I have been glued to it all weekend thus far and the opening ceremony was way cool. What a great world tradition huh? It is kind of nice to see all the countries all over the world come together for a few days and play =)
