Lots to catch up....

I have been quite the slacker at blogging... I have just been too busy. So sorry if this is quite the picture overload. First of all, the most exciting thing that happened is that Abe was promoted to a Captain!! I am so proud of him and it is weird to think we have been in the military for four years. So far we have been really lucky with all the opportunities the military has provided us with. After all, who wouldn't like getting paid their full salary (not work), but go to school to get a FREE master's degree? We'll take it!



A couple other things we have been up to.....

Reds Game



Visit from Abe's parents
-I probably bored them to death, but we tried to get out and do fun things. I took them to Wegerzen Gardens... such a cool place. It is a big garden for little kids with a man made river to play in and a water fall. The kids can also go play in the sand, water the flowers, play at a water table, etc. I love that we have so many cool, free metroparks here.




While they were here we also went to Kirtland to see some LDS church history sites. We had a lot of fun site seeing and eating out. Here is a family picture in front of the Kirtland temple...




Like I said in a previous post, Adeline really just wants to be outside all the time. Today we ventured out to the pool on base. It cost a fortune to go their last summer, but for some reason they decided to let military in for free this summer. It is such a nice pool! It was a little on the chilly side when we were there this morning, but it was such a blast. Adeline just wanted to sun bathe on the lawn chairs for awhile with me when we ate our lunch and then we played in the pool. She is such a fun little buddy.





And little Adeline... she is quite the crack up. She really only wants to be naked lately. She fights me when I put on a diaper and clothes. If I turn my head for a couple minutes, she is naked. When I go to get her in the morning, she is naked in her crib. Not quite sure what to do about this problem. What can I say, she is a free spirit!

She is talking quite a bit. She says full sentences. Her favorite things to say right now are "______ right there", or add "right there" into every sentence. She puts "too" in every sentence as well. "Mommy sit here too"... "mommy drink too"... "mommy swimsuit too"... it is pretty cute.

We finally got rid of her stupid bottle. The reason why we kept it for so long is because that is the only way she would take it... warm and in a bottle. The doc told us to keep giving it to her since she is so little. However, we decided to take it away cold turkey. She actually is doing way better than we thought. However she doesn't drink very much milk now. Next up... get ride of the binky at night and a big girl bed!... oh yea and still working on that potty training thing.


It's 1:30am... I really should go to bed.
