Date night

On Tuesday Josh and I went on a date to a cooking class at his store.  We made Indian Cuisine (which consisted of a few different kinds of curries and this yummy deep fried bread filled food).  We had a good time and learned a few new skills and got to eat yummy food and take home the recipes.  It was a nice night just the 2 of us and we are looking forward to when we can take another class together.

While we were cooking Nana and Aunt Julia came to watch Adey and they had their own date.  They went to 5 guys and a cookie place for dessert.  They came home and played doll house and had a good time.  Adey always loves time with them and we are grateful they came to play with her...it really made Adey's day!

p.s.  sorry no pics just a journal entry for this

Another night with Josh at work...

I am trying often to come up with ideas to do with Adey...our fun, loving 2 year old while Josh is working so hard at school and now an assistant manager at Sur la Table (we are so proud of him and his help with the bills).  I still work but hours have been cut which does help with my morning sickness and now aching body (definitely harder when i am 3 years older this time and already have 1 munchkin to watch after). He loves his job and definitely has "senioritis"...been there done that.  He will graduate in August...seriously like a week before the due date of our second beautiful baby...so that will be a busy month for us as we have no idea what is gonna happen but hope to have a plan by July...we shall see what lies in store.

But on to what Adey and I did this past Monday while Josh was at work.  Earlier in the day Adey had her first actual dance class with a place that I am just in love with as well as Adey...she didn't want to leave but eventually we did with giving her teacher a kiss and a hug and telling her thank you (our child is so well mannered).  We will definitely be signing her up and can't wait to watch her recitals and her talent that she has!  We played when we got home and then Adey took a bath.  While she was bathing I set up a tent for us in the living room (chairs, blankets, pillows) and made us a semi-healthy but yummy dinner with peanut butter and jelly, carrots, grapes, blue berries, cutie oranges, and some chips.  Once she got out she was pretty excited and got dressed quickly and she picked to watch Princess and the frog...she stayed awake for the whole movie and fell asleep shortly after in the tent.  We had a few of her friends in the tent with us too (woody, jesse, buzz light year, ariel, cinderella, belle, tiana, her squeaky dog, hello kitty, and her baby doll...as per her request).  here are some pics from our night....we missed Josh and wish he could have been with us:

sorry the picture is blurry....made me sad

Adey and my adventure

On Saturday it was gorgeous, warmer, and beautiful sun but Josh had to work so Adey and I decided to walk about 3/4 of mile to a full mile down to Gardner Village (super cute little village with boutique shopping and a pond with ducks and oh so much fun).  Adey walked the whole way and we sang songs, counted, talked about plants we saw, being safe from cars, the weather, and how much i love her that words seriously can not describe!  she is an amazing child who we are very blessed to have in our family.  Her beautiful smile, talent, giggles, entertainment, love, intelligence, maturity, willingness to share with everyone, imagination, and so so much more is what she has to offer!  She is going to be an wonderful big sister and we talk about this baby that is coming is yes just 5 1/2 short months and she seems to be accepting it.  But anyway....we fed the ducks, went and played with train at the toy/book shop, stopped at the all about girls shop and picked up some lip gloss and bath fizzes (along with some Easter basket goodies for her) , and ended our adventure at the candy store with a few suckers and salt water taffy.  We sure wish Josh could have came but it was fun just the 2 of us girls and I very much look forward to the many years me and Adelynn have as we grow together and do the "girlie" stuff as she gets older (i plan to take her to get her first mani/pedi for her 3rd birthday).  but on to the pictures from our little adventure (there is only a few):

at the bridge with her goody bag of lip gloss and bath fizzies she picked out (such a girly girl)

waiting for the short train ride home (seriously we are on the train for like 30 seconds...but she loves it)

don't bother me...i am busy

For Christmas Katie got an Ipod touch and has downloaded some free educational games for Adey...sometimes we find her like this...

something we have been working on....

Adey is 2 1/2 now....i know time sure has flown by.  At times she shows interest in the potty so we finally started acting upon it...for the past few days she usually sits on the potty about 4 to 5 times a day and of those times she actually goes potty once which is a nice start.  Josh wanted to snap some pics and he told her he will be showing these to her prom date some day....lol!

Kinnect dance

we got a Kinnect dance game and Adey just loves it...but check out her outfit! sorry i couldn't figure out how to turn it

Snow...could it be?!

A few weeks ago (after Christmas) we finally woke up to a little bit of snow.  It was on a Saturday and we of course took advantage of it.  We went sledding on the hill by our house and built a snowman and Adey ate some snow and Oskar wondered around.  It was a nice little outing for our family and since Utah has been lacking the snowing this year we were glad to have fun even if it was only for a little while before it started melting.
