Little Pink Bears

We put Addie in the little pink bear outfit that Sophie practically lived it. Addie will not be living in it because she had almost grown out of it now.

Which one is Addie and which is Sophie?

Uncle Erik's Visit

After the family came down for Adeline's blessing, Erik got to say for the week. Since he will be heading off to collage at BYU Idaho next month and then on a mission some time soon, it was nice to spend some time with him.

Indoor Skydiving and Uncle Scott's Visit

Uncle Scott came to visit us last month. It was fun hanging out with him and after Sophie warmed up, she loved hanging out with him.



While here we headed to the Salomon Center in Ogden and went flying. Indoor skydiving at iFly. Mom, Scott, me and even Sophie did it. It was really fun and different then I was expecting. I thought I would feel like I was falling a bit more, but it was almost like just laying down.

Doesn't Sophie look SOOOOoooo cute!!!

This video is a little long, but you totally need to watch Sophie about 30 seconds into it. They fly her up into the top part of the wind tunnel and is really cool. We all got to fly up high. Then they make Scott walk out of the tunnel by himself and it was really funny!!

New Parking and Sidewalk

We have been working toward putting in another parking pad next to the driveway and a sidewalk to the back apartment door. After a couple weeks of prep work, we were ready to pour.

At 6:00am the cement truck came and the real work began. Knowing it was too much for us to handle on our own, we hired some help and had one really awesome neighbor join the crew.

See how dark is was when the pour.



We were about two yards shy on the concrete and had to send the truck to go get more. That actually worked our good timing wise and then we had enough from the second load to finish the retaining wall form that we have been working on in the front yard.

We woke Sophie up to see the cement truck. We didn't want her to miss that. It also happened to be the same weekend that Grandma and Grandpa Olson and Uncle Scott were visiting.

Sophie's Three Year Old Pictures

I have been meaning to post this pictures. These were done by the same photographer that did Sophie's two year old pictures and Addie's Newborns. www.richinsphoto.com

I love love love them!!!

The Circus

For Mitchell's birthday, Angie wanted to take him to the circus. I was fortunate to score some tickets for their whole family, plus Sophie and me. I had been to the Ringling Brother's circus once before about 5 years ago, but I wasn't sure if the show would be different or not. To my surprise, it was pretty different then before and really fun. I think it was a good show for people of all ages.


We saw lots of elephants and tigers. Grandma Beaird found this shirt for Sophie to where to the circus.

Addie's Three Months Old

Today, Oct 8th, Adeline is three months old. Oh how time flies. Addie you are a busy baby and love to have undivided attention. You want people to look you in the eye and you like to be held (a lot). We have discovered that you like your walker and push yourself backwards around on the kitchen floor. Sophie has taken to pushing you around the kitchen island in it. You also seem to use the walker as a great place to get the poopies out.


(This is you asleep in the walker)
You love to smile and are trying to talk a lot. Lately you have been chewing on your fingers and ours. Are you teething? Possibly. One thing for sure, you like to eat. If you have a full tummy, you sleep really well. Mommy and daddy both appreciate that.

You kind look just like your sister, minus the brown eye and a little more brown hair. Beautiful, we can't get enough of you. (Except when we are riding in the car and you are screaming.) The car rides are actually getting better. We drove 3 1/2 hours each way from camping this week and you did awesome in the car. Only a couple minutes of crying.

You like to watch everything. You will actually sit and watch the tv. What 3 month old watches tv? You also look out the window of the car while we are driving (in between screaming).

Adeline, you are a happy baby that is growing too fast. Please try and stay my little baby a bit longer. By the way, we are getting out the 6-9 month clothes this weekend.
