Big News!!!

Yea! We are having a baby. We are so very excited... but no one is as excited as Adelyn. She has been telling everyone that there is "a baby in moms belly" even before we have told people. She will be such an awesome sister. My due date is February 22, 2010! Adelyn has been saying it is a girl and has stuck to that. She had named her Brooklyn, Annie, and now she just says she does not know. With the exception of being extremely tired, it has been an awesome pregnacy. I have thrown up only a couple of times. It is amazing how different the preganacies have been. We are estatic!

Happy 26th Travis!

Happy Birthday to my hubby. Adelyn and I are so lucky to have you. Here are some things I love about Travis:

1. He is such a wonderful father. Adelyn loves hanging out with her daddy.

2. He loves to play sports of all kinds. He played baseball and football as a teenager and still plays every chance he gets. He loves to play on the water with a boat, waverunner, skis, etc. He likes to mountain bike. He likes to camp and hike. He is a man of many hobbies, which I love.

3. He loves the outdoors. He likes to camp, fish and he is now adding his hunters safety to the list.

4. He spent his teenage years in a small town. I am such a small town girl and I love that we both have some of the common small town experiences.

5. At the expense of being too cheesy, the more I learn about Travis the more I realize he is the man of all my dreams! Thanks honey for all you are.

Happy Birthday!

Bear Lake

We went to Bear Lake for an Orton family reunion.
It was such a blast. Everyone enjoyed themselves.
The water is not too deep for quite a while so the kiddos enjoyed
the water, Travis and I enjoyed the waverunners, I basked in the sun,
and Trav was quite the entertainment between getting on the waverunner
and pulling Bronson on the skim board with his bike. We loved the
Raspberry shakes. But mostly, it was awesome too just have fun
with all the family!

The picture at the top was taken at the Bees game on the 4th of July. We
stayed at the Greens for the 4th and took the kids to "Ars Age" as Addy calls it.
We were also able to go to the Quirrah Temple Open House. All temples are beautiful
but this temple was one of the prettiest inside I have ever seen. Anyway.... it was an awesome
Summer Vacation! It will be hard to beat next year!

To all the Fathers

Happy Fathers Day to all, but especially to the Fathers in my life. First, to my wonderful Husband. He is the most adorable Daddy to Adelyn and she adores him. He is such a fun loving father. I am grateful for the wonderful father and husband that he is. Everything is does is for our little family and he sacrifices so much for us. I realize more and more and the longer I am with him how lucky I am to have him. He is wise beyond years, a quiet and strong leader, and a wonderful provider of all necessities. He is such an example to me on many levels. There is no one else in the world I would want to be the Father of my children and to enjoy the journey of Life and eternity with. Thanks for all you do and we love you!

Second, to my own Father. I have always been somewhat of a Daddys girl. My father is such a wonderful man and a great example and leader for his family. I appreciate his testimony, his wisdom, and his kindness. My Father is such a hard worker and has incredible perspective. He is such a fun grandpa and all his grandchildren love him. We love you!

Third, to Travis' Dad. He showed my husband how to be a wonderful Father and has succeeded. He is always excited to see his family and is a great grandpa to Adelyn. He is always willing to help in any way. Thanks for all your love and support.

DANCE CLASS!!

I am not going to lie, I am not sure who is more excited..... me or Adelyn. Today was her first day of her first dance class. I was a little dancer so I have really been looking forward to this day since Addy was born. Her friend Addison told us about the dance class and they go to class together. There are only 4 girls in the class ages 2-3. It is taught by Addison's dad Adam's bosses little girl. Did you follow that? Jenny (the teacher) is 12 year old cutie. Although Adelyn will miss the recital and the last week of the 3 week class (we will be at Bear Lake) she was excited, and so was I.

DA BEAR!!

The JAZZ BEAR came down for the annual Summer Games Opening Ceremony. We were able to go and have the kids meet the bear. He was so nice and signed Addy and her cousins shirts Grandma Marsha bought them. They were so excited, especially Dylan and Payton. Ty was a little nervous of the hairy animal... who could blame him really. We then went to Candace and Luke's house for a BBQ. It was good food, good company, good times. We went to the opening ceremonies and watched the fireworks. They were the best fireworks I can remember!

The Youngs, Greens and Rowleys in SL

We went up to Salt Lake this last weekend. We were able to attend SPENCER AND MEGANS wedding. It was beautiful and we wish them luck, love and happiness. We were supposed to come home on Friday after the wedding but it was the AIR SHOW at HILL AIR FORCE BASE on Saturday. It was AWESOME! Addy and Dylan laughed all weekend long..... so much so that he came to stay down south with us for a week. Thanks Greens! We love when we can see you guys!
