New Milestones!

Climbing into the Laundry Basket

Adelynn's other milestone. She learned how to climb DOWN stairs now. But, she needs supervision. We learned this the hard way when she fell down Angela's stairs on Sat. morning and got a bloody nose.

Addie and I at Gardner Village. She wanted to jump in the water.

Angela talking to Mike on the phone and Addie looking at the witch.

The outhouse with the witch in there. It says "Witchy Poo". I stuck Addie in there, to lock her up.

I went to write about Adelynn's new milestones, and realized I didn't have a picture to show of her, just video footage. Anyway, on Thursday she started standing on her own. She will just be sitting on the floor, and stand up on her own. She hasn't taken her first step yet, but she is getting close. We were so excited on Thursday night, when she just stood up. It's fun to watch her do new things. Anyway, we (Corey, Addie, and I) went to Salt Lake on Friday night because Corey had class on Sat. morning in Ogden. The Cobbley's were kind enough to take us in for the night. Angela showed Addie and I a good time on Saturday. We went shopping and then we went to Gardner Village in Murray. It was fun to see the witches all dressed up with their fat butts and big breasts. They are funny looking. I love this time of year! Tomorrow is the first day of Fall, and it's my favorite season. The leaves fallling, pumpkins, the bright colors, I love it all!

Addie got into my bag of apples and chewed on several of them.

I had some cute pictures of Adelynn that I wanted to post, so I thought I would write a quick update and say that we are trying to survive Corey's last semester of his BSN program, and Corey and I both working full time. It seems like I come home and he leaves for work. The best part about it is that we don't even find the time to argue anymore :> Things are actually going surprisingly well. It seems like most of the stress we are under is brought on by Corey's school work, so after December that will all be over. As for Addie, she is getting big (she's ten months now). We took her to the doctor on Sat (for a runny nose and cough), and they weighed her. She weighed over 18 pounds. I was excited, because it has been almost three months since she had gained anything. She is trying to be brave and walk, but she gets scared and would rather crawl. She gets into EVERYTHING! It seems like everyday she finds something new to explore. I gave up on trying to keep the house clean, and I just let her tear it apart.

September 11th

So...Angela told me that she was sick of looking at my first day of school picture. So, I thought that I would tell you my blogging moment that I had at school today. I wanted to explain the importance of Patriot Day to my students. So, I read them the book, "The Man who stood Between the Towers", and asked them if they knew the importance of this day. One of the kids raised his hand and said something about a plane crashing into some buildings. I was expaining to them how America had a terrorist attack that day, and what happened. Then, I said, "It happened about seven years ago, do any of you remember it?" One kid spoke up and said "I was born SEVEN years ago!" I just looked at him in shock, and thought, "Wow, I AM old". It seems like yesterday...then, another kid said, "Were you alive BACK THEN?" My students teach me so much about life.
