Lyla Sue Jones

Lyla was born yesterday at 3:14 pm, she weighed 6 lbs 11 oz and was 18.5 inches long. Both Diana and Lyla are doing great. So far Addy has been in love with her little sister and loves holding her and kissing her. Here are a few pictures.

Our Busy Week

It was Addy's Birthday last week and we celebrated pretty much all week long. We got her a trampoline for her present. She couldn't be happier. She will jump outside until her face is bright red come in out of breath and say mom I need a drink and go back out.

She got pretty spoiled and loved every minute of it. We took her to Disney on ice. She got to sit by Tayla and they were both in heaven.

Sue came to visit...see I told you she got spoiled.

She was so excited to have a Tinkerbell birthday so I got busy making a Tinkerbell cake.

Surprisingly, the Tinkerbell cake was much easier than the Barbie cake from last year.
Last but definitely not least, we found out Tinkerbell is going to have a baby sister. I am so excited they will be such good friends. Whenever Addy was asked she told everyone it was a girl from day one. She came to a quick doctor visit with me about a month ago and said, mommy I forgot to tell the doctor I want a girl.--she thought you could put in an order like at a restaurant. So when I came home and said Addy guess what the doctor said. She yelled "a girl." Like "of course mom that is what I have been trying to tell you." Here is her cute feet and cute face.

Catching Up

HALLOWEEN SNEAK PEEK:

The library puts on a Halloween parade for the little ones. I am so excited this weekend for my little snow white.

CAMPING: We went camping with just our family to double lakes last week and had a blast. We were lucky and got the last spot. Our neighbors next to us were drunk and a little loud. Addy was convinced they were pirates and always had her eye out for peter pan and tink.

I know you are jealous and wish you could have ridden with us on the Jones family circus bikeAddy became our photographer. It's a little crooked but both of our heads are in the picture. She loved taking pictures of everything up there, her chair, the fire, the pile of wood.

Wouldn't be camping with out gooey marshmallows that fill your whole mouth

NIKI'S VISIT:

Caleb's sister came to see us and we had so much fun.

We made carmel apples with green apples and dipped them in white chocolate and sprinkled them with cinnamon sugar just like the ones from the Rocky Mountain Candy Factory. SO YUMMY.

We went to Sea world. Here we are waiting for shamu to come out. Addy is to excited to see shamu to look at the camera. Example #1

Example #2 : Still managing to keep the corner of her eye mainly on the pool.

Example #3

Addy loved these guys and followed them around for about an hour while Niki and Caleb went on the fun rides.
Feeding the Dolphins:

Thanks for coming Niki we had so much fun!

Tinkerbell

Addy is in love with Tinkerbell lately. So when we had the chance to go meet her at Chick-fila I knew she would flip out. Here she is all ready with her nervous excited smile.
Of course she immediately got shy, but loved every minute of it. Once she saw the picture she got really mad at me for not remembering to take off her crocs so Tinkerbell could see her matching tink shoes.Her signed autograph.
Can't wait for her Tinkerbell Birthday!

Our Spring Chicken

Yes, number 2 is on the way. It has not been easy...I must say I am so glad the morning sickness is not a constant anymore, but I only have a few bad moments here and there. Caleb has started an MBA program and is as busy as a bee. I have been so sick there have been times I was wishing I could take it all back. But it is a divine privilege to be able to bear children, and I am grateful for that. We have great home teachers who came and shared the message from President Uchtdorf, where he quotes Joseph Smith speaking to the women of the church, “If you live up to your privileges, the angels cannot be restrained from being your associates.” I just want to thank all of my angel friends who knew when to call and have been there to help me take care of Addy. We are so excited for a new adorable personality to come to our family.
