Busy Week...

On January 16, 2008 - my adoptive parents and I met both their families at the Vernal Utah Temple to be sealed. It was so cold.....My adoptive dad said that most of the way there it was below zero outside the car. Now that's cold! I was so upset that I didn't get to be with my adoptive mom the whole time that I sobbed the whole way through the sealing. I was so very sad. All that crying wore me out. So I slept during the pictures. My adoptive mom wrapped me up in the afgan that my birthmother's grandmother made. It was so warm and cozy.
This is my adoptive mom's family. I only had one aunt (Lucinda was in school), and one uncle (Vaughn was at a conference for work in Salt Lake) missing from this picture. All of my cousins were at grandmas playing with the babysitter. In the front is my great-grandma. She is so nice and gives the best kisses and hugs.

This is my adoptive dad's family. My great-grandparents were at the temple, but they didn't stay for pictures. It was way to cold and they needed to get home.

On January 18, 2008, I was given a name and blessing by my adoptive father at our ward building. My adoptive grandmother made my blessing dress. I felt just like a princess. I loved to feel the lace and put it in my mouth. It wasn't very good though. I got to see my birthparents and one set of birth-grandparents. It was so fun to see them and to play with them. I love them so much.


Sorry it has taken my adoptive mom so long to post these pictures. She has been really sick and it took all her extra energy to take care of me.

Have a great day! :)

I'm 7 Months Old!

Can you believe that I am 7 Months old! Wow - Look how I've grown....


Here is my new favorite toy - the Exersaucer.... I can jump and sing and at the same time. I love it! It plays music and I squeal as loud as I can (sing) as I jump, jump, jump.....

I hate to leave so soon, but my adoptive mom says that it's time for dinner. Have a great night!

Add'l Pics from Christmas....

My 1st Christmas!

Sorry it has taken my adoptive mom to post pictures from My 1st Christmas! She is such a slacker..... j/k Right after Christmas, my adoptive dad's cousin got married and then my adoptive grandfather got sick and had to have his gallbladder removed. It has been crazy!!!

This is my adoptive mom and dad and me on Christmas Eve in our Christmas P.J.'s. I have cute penguins on mine. Of course, mine are the cutest....but do you really expect anything different....


Here I am opening 1 of my gifts from my birthparents. I really like this one. It was a really soft hat and glove set (pink) and a stuffed dog. It is really fun to suck on the tag and his ear. I also took out my little ponytail with the paper while I was unwrapping it. I also really liked this paper - I could crunch it and chew on it without it falling apart....plus, it made a really cool sound.

This is one of the presents that Santa brought. It was the rabbits from the book "Guess How Much I Love You". I gave my birthparents this book for Christmas. I hope that they liked it as much as I do. Because I love them "all the way up to the moon and back." Santa also brought a copy of the book to me. My adoptive mom likes to read it to me and tell me about my birthparents. It's my favorite time of day. :)

I hoped you all had a Merry Christmas. I told my adoptive mom to post some more Christmas pictures. Hope you enjoy them as well. My favorite gifts were the wrapping paper and the exersaucer! It gives me hours of fun..... Love you all!
