Ady's First Birthday--camping trip

Ady is One!!!

So I'm always a little late posting.... but my baby girl turned ONE, two weeks ago!! We decided to give her a little birthday cake (on her actual birthday) and sing to her. Then the following Saturday is when we had her big birthday bash!! Her birthday fell on a Wednesday, and the next day, we were off to go camping up at Pine Valley. We camped for 3 nights, and on the the last night, we had a lot of family to share the campfire with (so much fun).

Her birthday bash on Saturday was a HUGE turnout. We had so many family and friends. She got ANOTHER cake and lots of gifts. We had a nice barbeque with burgers and hot dogs, and then on to the peach cobbler (thanks Adam, it was DIVINE):). The turnout really shows how much she is loved, and everyone wanted to share in her big day.

Adam made a swing (huge hit with the kids). He threw a rope over a branch in the tree (kinda a tradition when we go camping now). We had so much fun, and it was so great to get of the St.George heat for a few days.

I still can't believe she is one already. She's working on teeth 9 and 10, and is about ready to get out of her infant car seat. She is my baby, and is already growing too fast. She is very independent, that I can barely snuggle her anymore. She just wants to go and go. I love you Ady baby, and Happy Birthday. I'm excited to see what is to come, and what kind of lady you become. At the same time, I CAN wait, slow down ;)

Below are pics of her ACTUAL birthday day... and I will post a slide show of the day of her party and our camp trip above...

Karson goes to Pre-School!!!

Karson ready to go out that door and off to pre-school!!

First (well, technically) time at the dentist...

And, of course, our cute little Ady (sleeping)...

Karson started pre school last week. He is loving it!! He also went to the dentist, and the eye doctor. He did so well, and listened to them and followed perfect direction. All is well, except he will need some orthodontic care in another year or two.Ady has been such a trooper, loading back and forth between pre-school and home (interrupting her afternoon nap). I must thank God for such two beautiful, wonderful children!!

Swimming

We have been swimming a lot lately. Karson is finally getting to where he is not so scared of the water. When we go, he wouldn't go to the deep end at all (even with a life jacket). But, today, we went again, and he took off his life jacket and swam with his dad for a while. The next thing we knew, he was holding his own nose and going all the way under the water!! Great job Karson!! Next is the deep end :)
