She's growing up

Such concern my little one.

A dirty face after playing in the dirt and roasting marshmallows in Greybull earlier this summer.

A visit from Ashley

A photo collage of a lovely visit from dear Ashley in mid July.
Breakfast at No Sweat Cafe, a little walk around downtown and of course reading books back home. So nice to see a friend I hadn't seen in far too long!

Fire season 2012

JD is working to fight fires this summer. Which means ... he's gone. BUT on Sunday Adeline and I hoped in the car and drove 350 to see him between his fire assignments. The above shot is her running out to great him at his water truck when he first pulled into town.

She loved sitting in dad's big truck.

His main duty last week on the Otter Creek fire near Ten Sleep, Wyoming was helicopter support in addition to dust abatement for the fire camp and the roads leading to the fire line. And now ... he's off fighting the Oil Creek fire near Newcastle, Wyoming. We miss you JD !!!!

Half birthday girl

Happy 1/2 Birthday Adeline! You are officially 2-and-a-half-years-old. Where is the time going?!? And soon you will be a big sister too!!!!

Water baby

If we're not at swim lessons, the public pool or the lake ... she's probably playing in the kiddie pool in our front yard.

Jumping!

Oh this girl ... jumping off the wall ALL BY HERSELF!

Soaking in sun and books

It got very quiet in the house ... then I found Adeline reading herself books in the sunroom.

Love. This. Girl.

Swim swim swimmer

Our two-year-old learned how to do unassisted bobs today! We're so proud of you Adeline!! So glad JD was there to document the milestone.

Adeline received new Keen's in the mail yesterday from her Grandma Cathy...and as you can tell, she was VERY thrilled. THANK YOU Cathy for making her day!

Toes

A sure sign of nice weather

Too cute

Today Adeline found a stash of headbands in her room.

Some serious bedhead

Mama drama

Mama drama...part 11: Today I had a pregnancy victory and a pregnancy fail. The victory, this morning I managed NOT to throw up. This is a big victory. I'm almost 6-months along yet still suffer morning sickness on a daily basis. But today God gave me grace and I didn't throw up for the first time in MONTHS. But by the afternoon I was grumbling about my other pregnancy symptoms. In a rush to get chores done I managed to put away an entire dishwasher FULL of dirty dishes into my cupboards. After filling another load and reaching to fill the soap I realized my mistake. When I went back to the cupboards it was obvious which dishes were dirty. A blue cup with brown coffee streaks down the side. Plates with food still stuck on them. A peanut butter covered knife. How did my brain let my body put away all those dishes without noticing?! Pregnancy that's why. 

It has been far too long since I've posted. 

So here is a cute photo to fill the void.

20-week bump

"Baby inside mama's belly"

New bed

Earlier this month Papa John brought up a new bed for Adeline from Wyoming. She was thrilled to have her own big bed. Goodbye crib.

On a fun note, this was the same crib my brother and I had as children growing up in Missoula. My father built it back in 1980.

20-week ultrasound

Oh little baby. You grow big and strong. So excited to meet you in August.

A snowman family for a sick girl

Sweet little Adeline has been sick (and can't play outside) so when she was napping yesterday, JD and I built this snowman family as a surprise. And she loved it!!!

Does she need a haircut??

Low-key St. Patty's

Since Addie was still feeling sicky we watched the St. Patty's parade from the car. We sat snuggled with a blanket in the warmth under drizzly skies.

A place just for Addie

Enjoying the sun room.

Today Adeline refused to take a nap.
So instead we played in her tunnel of balloons.
