Winter Wonderland

Adrian got to experience her 1st playtime in the snow. She enjoyed it, but didn't want to keep her mittens on which was a problem in 20 degree temperatures. We definitely need to invest in a sled as well.


As I was getting her ready I kept think of the movie, "The Christmas Story" and the little boy who looked like a tick ready to POP! Adrian at least looks like a cute little tick!

Adrian attempting to make a snow angel, she didn't really want to relax and lay back as you can see.

Not a flattering picture of mommy (keep in mind it is 9am on Sunday with no makeup:), but I wanted to capture the moment of both of us.

Happy Holidays

Busy...busy...busy! We just got back to Polk City on Sat. after being back in Rockford since Tues. We headed back a little early to beat the bad weather. Below are pics of our X-mas celebration back in Polk City, X-mas with Mitch's mom in Charles City, X-mas with Mitch's Grandma, Dad, and brother in Greene, and X-mas with my family in Rockford. Adrian was a trooper and handled it very well even sleeping through the night with all the extra activities.
Our Christmas tree with lots of wonderful gifts!
This was one of Adrian's gift from us. It is a tent which is easy to assemble, if you can't tell it is a tree. It looks kind of like the Keebler Elf House.
Mommy & Adrian camping out!


Adrian at Grandpa & Grandma's house in Rockford.

Christmas Eve at the Sinwell's with Grandpa Jim

We love her new table and chairs and so does Adrian. There are a total of 4 chairs so her little buddies can color together! I bet Kamden and Preston would love a tea party :)

Adrian & Grandpa coloring.

Adrian is a collector of anything...spoons, crayons, books, and pens. Grandma had a set of multi colored pens and she loves gathering them. She also started putting one in her mouth and running around.

No, I didn't break the stool. This is a little stool from the Amish store that was just Adrian's size.

Aunt Jamie and Trice playing fetch and Grandma making a snowman on X-mas morning.

X-mas at Norma's in Greene, Adrian liked playing with her shinny bowls.

Grandma Harden showing Adrian all the pretty ornaments.

The Noel's opening gifts Christmas night.

Gotta love Radio Flyer! Adrian got her nice red wagon for this summer and even has a cute umbrella for keeping the sun off.

Adrian reading her new puppy book.

Mom getting her new diamond necklace from dad. He did a great job picking it out and only had to call me once to get my opinion.

Adrian and mommy love her mechanical pluto dog...he barks, walks, and wags his tail.

He are some of the great gifts Adrian received Christmas night.

The Harden and the Noel clans.

Jamie taught us a new card game called, "Nark" which was a lot of fun. Mom was the victorious winner.

Bye Bye Bottles

Officially, Adrian is no longer a baby! I kept telling myself she was still a baby and not a toddler because she was still getting a bottle, but that all ended this weekend. I think Adrian could of stopped a few weeks ago but it was mommy waiting for a weekend that wasn't busy to get her adjusted. She has been doing great not getting her bottle:)

Mommy loved packing all of this away, I now have more counter space!!!


Adrian before bedtime with Elmo. Adrian's new routine is around 7:15pm to read books, rocking in chair, sippy cup w/ milk, and gram crackers.
