Adorable Addie

Pillows all around her to help her sit up!

Go Aggies!

I was changing her diaper one day, and she wouldn't hold still. (I know a little risky)

I thought I would add some pictures of Adelynn. She wants to sit up sooo bad, so I put pillows all around her today and let her play. She loved it! She is also rolling over like crazy, but she only rolls from her back to her stomach. Once she gets on her stomach she starts crying, because she wants to be on her back. She's so funny, at a young age she is learning that the "grass isn't always greener on the other side". Nothing much has been going on with the Andersons. We miss you, and are starting to make plans for summer trips to see you all!

It Never Ends!

Do you ever feel like the cleaning, doing laundry, and dishes never go away! GRRR! I have like five books I'm trying to read, but unfortunatley I am OCD and can't relax long enough to sit down and read. Mostly because there is always some kind of "crap" to take care of. Well, now that I got that off my chest, I will tell you a little about my husband. About this time of year (Spring Time) he finds a new hobby. Last year his hobby was backpacking. He got so obsessed that he sewed his own tarp tent and sleeping bag. Well, this year his new obsession is mountain biking! He bought a bike online and assembled it himself. That way he would know what it was made of (and it was lots cheaper, it's the ONLY way I said yes). Well, the bike already needed a tune up, so he insisted that we drive to Vernal today so that we could take it to the bike shop. At the bike shop he talked me into buying a helmet (he wouldn't want to die) and extra tire tubes (or get a flat). Since we were in Vernal we went to his parents house for a minute to visit. Corey left (in his truck) for a few minutes to get us something to eat. While he was leaving the "Country Grub" (yes, that's the real name), his truck DIED! He thinks it is gone forever, because of the sound it made. He's thinking it might need a new engine. So, Corey says, "Well, it's a good thing I bought my bike!" What a dork, but I love his guts, and pretty much everything about him!

Easter Weekend

Baby Kayden all wrapped up!


The adorable Gauger Family! We're so happy for you.


I had a great Easter Weekend. I got to see lots of family. My sister Eileen got her tonsils out, so I visited her and kept her company. My cousin Kim (she's more like a sister to me), had a beautiful baby boy on the 10th, and I got to meet him. Hence all the pictures of Baby Kayden. Corey worked all weekend, but I got to spend it shopping, visiting family, and eating good food. I have a great husband who lets me leave every now and again. Oh, and thanks to my Uncles (Kevin and Marvin, and Grandpa Stoker) I have a reliable car to drive now thanks to their handy work.

It's Finally Warm!

Dad (just got done buying his mountain bike) and Baby Addie!

Our walk as a family

I'm trying to run with the stroller, but I'm just a big dork.

She loves the stroller ride!


We have had a busy week. At least that's how I feel. Corey got two root canals on Monday and he has been in PAIN since then. So, I've tried to be extra nice to him. Oh, and I also signed up for Melaluca ths week. So, now I am getting my household items shipped to my doorstep, instead of driving to Walmart (1/2 an hour away) to buy them. So, if any of you are interested, talk to Sandra Koyle (208-678-9317), she would love to sign you up too! It has finally gotten warm enough to go for walks. Today was the first time we have taken Adelynn for a walk in her stroller, she loved every minute of it. Corey has always had a thing for women who go running with their children in strollers. So, he tried to get a picture of me running with the stoller, but I just look like an idiot. Well, we hope you all have a great Easter.

Rice Cereal!

Adelynn has had many "firsts" this week. She turned four months on Saturday, and so we took her to the pediatrician on Monday for her 4 month check up. She weighs 14 lbs and 2 oz, which is in the 75th percentile. So, she's a fattie, and I guess she is getting enough calories from the breast milk! So far we have fed her rice cereal three times. The first time went well, but the second time she knocked the bowl out of my hand and it went everywhere. My sister Lawna said, "Welcome to motherhood". Last night was the first time I put her in her highchair to eat, and she LOVED it. I think she mostly liked being able to sit up. She wants to sit up SO bad, but she just hasn't developed enough yet. Also, last night was her first night in her OWN room (but I cheated and slept in there with her). She did so well! In her crib, she has a lot more room to move around, and she likes it. Hopefully I can quit being a baby and let her sleep in there all alone tonight. :) Okay, enough about the baby. But, I don't really have anything else to say.



Adelynn's first time eating cereal!

Learning how to stand up with Daddy.


She NEVER takes a pacifier, but she wanted one all day yesterday, so I got a picture.

Spring Break!

This week is Corey's Spring Break from school, so I have been able to see him a little bit more than usual. He still sleeps all day because his schedule is all off from working nights. But, we actually went on a date last night to the movie, "Definatley, Maybe". It was so CUTE, there was even a part that made me cry. Then, we went for a drive to put the baby to sleep. It is nice to be able to have Corey at home at night to help out with Adelynn (it doesn't happen very often). Sometimes I wonder what our lives would be like if he didn't have school (I haven't ever known him when he wasn't in college). Well, I just thought I would write a little diddy about that movie, and recommend it to you all. Peace Out.

Happy Birthday Corey!

It was also my sister, Naomi's birthday!

Corey blowing out the candles!

Corey blew his candles out in one BIG breath!


Corey turned 25, on Wednesday the 5th. He had a great day and was lucky enough to be surrounded with friends and family that day (he didn't have to work, or do homework)! Thanks to everyone who remembered him on his special day! He got spoiled.

Last weekend Corey was kind enough to drive me home to Idaho. I hadn't been since July and he hadn't been there since May. So, we thought it was about time we go home and show Adelynn "my old stompin' grounds". Some of the highlights of our visit were meeting Ethan's (my brother) girlfriend, seeing my niece and nephew (they are adorable). And, Adelynn got to meet her Great-Grandma and Grandpa Koyle. The worst part of our visit was the nasty wind, I don't think it ever stops blowing in Idaho. But, overall I was glad that I could go home to Heyburn and see everyone!
