Getting Around to It

I have not been a very consistent blogger lately. Mostly because staring at the computer screen for long periods of time tends to make me nauseous at the moment. So there are things that I would have normally blogged about that have fallen by the wayside. I hate when that happens, but there isn't much I can do about it. But there are a couple of things I wanted to put up, so here we go.

First, Adelia's two-year old pictures. I took them myself with my little point and shoot, mostly because I'm my husband is too cheap to pay someone to do it professionally. So they are far from professional or perfect, but hey, at least we'll be able to look back and see that she was adorable as a two year old. We went up to BYU campus and found some really pretty spots.

 

Also, we had a combined birthday party with my side of the family last Sunday for Adelia and Lincoln, since my mom and Kerry and Tanner would be out of town for Lincoln's. Kyle and Kels came to join in on the fun with us. I think the kids had a great time with all their relatives. And they got spoiled of course. My mom made Adelia the coolest hanging tent for her bedroom. And Mom and Kerry gave each of them a camping chair, and Lincoln got a little lego set, which he hasn't stopped playing with since. Kyle and Kels gave Adelia some sand toys for our up-coming Bear Lake trip, and Lincoln some play dough toys. A big success.

On Monday we went over to Grandma and Grandpa Swan's house for a little slip'n'slide action with the cousins. My kids had a blast in the water and with the umbrella game the kids made up afterward.  And Adelia got to open her birthday present from Grandma and Grandpa Swan; a cute little singing picnic basket.

 

I also wanted to post about our newest awesome home decor item. My step-sister Tanya, and her husband Nelson, made us this really cool window as a house warming gift. We hung it up in the living room and it makes the whole room. Pretty much everyone who comes over comments on how cool it is. Thanks guys! (Just imagine that there is no computer desk, and that there is a real piano and a couple of nice chairs and a coffee table. We'll get there some day.)
