My "Stylin" Girls

So Adalyn keeps telling me "I'm stylin mom!" I say yes you are Adalyn. I don't know where she heard to say that phrase but now she is always aking me if she's "stylin." It makes me laugh so I thought I would post some recent pictures of the girls looking "stylin"

Thanksgiving in Kansas!!

This Thanksgiving we felt very blessed to go and visit Adam's family in Kansas. It was a wonderful trip. We got to stay with Bryan and Holly a couple of days(adam's brother and sister-in-law) and there 3 kids Cody, Cammy and Grace. Our kids played so well together, it was fun seeing the girls get to know all there cousins. Then we stayed a couple of days with Adam's parents. We are so grateful to have such wonderful family and to be able to spend time with one another. We were also able to be at the blessing of Cam and Christy's new baby girl, Olivia. Both of the girls were so excited to travel and see family (especially grandma and grandpa) and it snowed!

Grace, Cammy and Cody had Adalyn and Ellie for Christmas and they gave the girls a doctor kit amd the little people Nativity. They were so excited to get presents and they LOVED playing with Cammy and Grace. Thanks Byan and Holly for letting us stay with you and for our awesome presents!

Some of the cousins, Grace, Jordynn, Keira, Ellie, and Cammy. The girls loved playing with there cousins!

Grandma!!!!

We love when we have family come visit but we especially love when it's Grandma Jones!!! I know I have the best Mom! We had such a great time and the girls were so excited to see her. Even Ellie warmed right up to her right away. Of course she had presents for the girls and Addy was so excited she got the new barbie movie "A Christmas Carol" She came on Nov. 11th and Adam had the day off so we did some shopping and then the next day we just hung out went around base and my mom got to go to Adalyn's gymnastics class which of course Addy was so happy about. The girls just were so happy to have somebody else to play with besides me. It was a nice break. It happened to be very warm while she was here and so the girls always wanted to be outside and Grandma never said no. She would pull them around the block in our wagon or let Adalyn ride her bike. She also taught Adalyn how to climb our two little jungle gyms and Adalyn was very proud of herself. And of course Grandma couldn't leave until we all had boots, so we went to Target and the girls got to pick out boots which they now want to wear every where we go. I love mine too! It was just a wonderful 5 days. Thanks Mom for coming and spending time with us. We love you!!

Energetic Ellie!!

So here are some pictures our cute little Ellie the night before her accident. She loves to sit in the cupboards and say "hide" She closes the cupboard to hide and waits for one of us to find her! She is so full of energy and just fun! Then the next day around 4:30 p.m. we were waiting for Adam to get off work a little early it was Friday Nov. 7 and I was upstairs playing with the girls in Adalyn's room. Ellie loves to climb on Adalyn's bed and play even though we are always telling her to get down because she runs and jumps on the bed and there is a wood head and foot board she could hit. Anyways I was helping her get down and holding one of her hands while she was jumping and being crazy. All of a sudden she tripped on Adalyn's blankets and like in slow motion I could see her falling toward the end of the bed and would hit the edge of the wood but I couldn't move fast enough to stop it from happening. So when she hit and looked up at me literally her mouth was filled with blood and she was screaming. I had never seen so much blood come from one of my kids. I cupped my hand under her mouth as blood poured out all over the floor and ran and grabbed a towel and called Adam asking him to quickly come home. Thankfully he did and the bleeeding stop but she completely bit threw her bottom lip and it was huge and swollen for about a week. Poor girl!

Halloween!!!

We had a great Halloween this year. We went to our wards trunk or treat on Saturday the 25th. Adalyn decided she wanted to be Barbie as the Island Princess and Ellie was a beautiful butterfly. I loved both of there costumes. Both of the girls loved dressing up and seeing everyone elses costumes and getting candy. On Halloween day we went to a little parade here on base where kids and parents walked to different building trick or treating and that was a lot of fun and then that night Adam and I took them around our neighoborhood. It was not to cold out as you can see in the pictures Adam is wearing shorts it was 80 degrees which was nice. Also there is a picture of Adam wearing a mask, during the week of Halloween the base was doing what they call an "excercises." Where basically they simulate different emergencies and attacks. This time they acted as though they were in a deployed environment out at the flightline. They practiced chemical attacks and so he would have to put on these special clothes and mask and get under the table. It made me laugh to think of him hiding under the table but everyone had to do it. Anyways the girls thought it was funny that he had the mask on.
Oh yeah also the orange shirts the girls are wearing with the pumpkin face is something we did at her pre-school. I thougth it was such a clever idea. We took white shirts and tie-died them orange but made an orange circle in the middle to paint a pumpkin. The girls loved making them.

Bishop's Pumpkin Farm!

So the last couple of years we have gone to Wheatland the closest town to us about 10minutes away and gone to Bishop's Pumpkin Farm. It is a huge farm that has a ton of things to do. A petting zoo, a train, slides, pig racing, trains to play on and tons of really yummy food! We always have a good time when we go and at the end of it we get to go on a tractor pulled hay ride and go to the pumpkin patch and pick our pumpkins. Both of the girls loved it all and it was a great family day. We went on Columbus day, Monday October 13th. The military gets that day off which is really nice.

Broken Teeth!

This picture was taken a couple of days later. It looked a lot better then when it first happened!

Well on October 18th it was stake conference weekend and I had decided to do some deep cleaning before we left for the Saturday adult session. I was upstairs cleaning and had just finished mopping the down stairs. I could hear Adalyn running around and singing and then a big "BANG" and a scream. I new she had fallen so I came running downstairs and Adam had already picked her up. She was bleeding on her bottom lip and I was asking Adam what happened. He said she was running through the kitchen and slipped on the floor and pretty much face planted it. Her bottom lip was swollen and bloody but I thought a popsicle would make her feel better. She still kept crying and I decided she was probably tired, so I calmed her down and put her down for a nap. A couple hours later Adam had left early for the Stake center and Adalyn woke up. She was still really crying and upset. I was trying to get ready to go and she finally said to me "this hurts" and pointed to her top teeth. I pulled back her top lip and could immediately see something was wrong. Her gums were dark purple and bleeding right above her top big middle tooth and the tooth right next to it. I gently touched her teeth and they were very loose! I freaked out thinking she had gone a couple of hours with her teeth probably hurting so badly and telling her to just go to bed. Plus Adam was already gone, so I called her dentist there was an on call dentist who said he wanted to see her. After getting a hold of Adam we met at the dentist office who took x-rays and told us that she had fractured both teeth at the root tips and would probably need both teeth pulled by an oral surgeon who would sedate her to do it. It was been a few weeks and she hasn't lost her teeth yet. They are still loose and there has been no infection yet. The dentist said they will probably turn dark (die) and then need to be pulled but that could take a month to happen or a year. So now we are just waiting so see what will happen and hoping that she is able to keep her teeth since her adult teeth won't come in for another 3-4 years! I would hate for her to have a big toothless smile!

Pre-School!!

So I wanted Adalyn to start pre-school this year but the one here on base was full, so some ladies in my ward decided that we should just do our own. Every Friday we meet at Carrie Grummert's house. Her two boys do it Scott and Porter, Adalyn and Ellie Corbridge another little girl in our ward. Adalyn loves going each week and us 3 moms take turn teaching the lesson. We usually sing, teach a new letter and number and do crafts with a snack. It is a lot of fun and Adalyn is learning a lot. For October they made pumpkin bats and spiders. They thought it was so fun to be able to paint.
