It's been a while.

So our computer decided to crash in September so it's been a while since I posted last. We have had a lot going on. There was Halloween, Adalyn's blessing, Thanksgiving, and buying a house! Elly and Adalyn keep me so very busy. They are both so demanding and want what they want right then. I need to teach both of them patience because neither one of them have any. Elly loves having Addy around and thinks that Addy can play with all of her toys. Addy LOVES Elly even when Elly is being mean to her. She just sits and smiles at Elly. It's so cute to watch them together. It makes me excited for Addy to get a little older so they can play together. Here are a few pictures of the girls :)

What we have been up to....

So, I typed up some stuff at the bottom but I can't figure out how to get it to the top, so enjoy the pictures first and then you can read the rest :)

I seriously love when this happens! It doesn't happen very often so I am REALLY excited :)

So it seems like Adalyn has always been part of our family and she has only been with us for 5 weeks. She is so completely opposite of Elly. She is much more even tempered (unless she is ready to eat and then we are in trouble) than Elly. Adalyn has been sleeping through the night since we brought her home and she only wakes up once maybe twice to eat. Elly never let us do that. We had to sit up and rock her and she never let us put her down. Elly is adjusting really well to having Adalyn at home. She loves "her baby" and always wants her around.

We did have a little scare when Adalyn was just about two weeks old. She wouldn't eat and kept moaning and groaning and I had no clue why. I kept feeling like I needed to take her to the doctor and boy was I glad that I did. When I got to the doctor, he took her temperature and asked me where my husband was. I told him in Salt Lake at work (I was in Provo because I just love this pediatrician I just can't stand to take my girls away so we commute there). He looked at me and told me he was going to have to admit her to the hospital. Well, I was an emotional wreck that day (I think I cried just about the whole day and I really don't know why, just post pregnancy and hormones going crazy) and I just started crying like crazy. He said he was going to have to run a whole bunch of tests on her and find out what was wrong. When we got to the hospital, they did so many freakin tests that I thought I was going to scream and finally the next morning some of the tests came back and she had viral meningitis (I am not quite sure how to spell it). She spent two days in the hospital and we finally were able to bring her home. We are still not sure how she got it because I am one of the most freakish people about washing your hands and not taking my babies out for a while after they are born. Her doctor said that it is out about his time of the year and that adults carry it not knowing they have it. The symptoms for an adult are just a really bad headache and sore neck. When we brought her home, we couldn't let Elly touch her in case she passed it on to her. It was a rough couple of weeks, but we made it through! Anyways, we are all doing well and Adalyn has seemed to make a full recovery.

Adalyn Brin Alger

Adalyn Brin Alger was born on Saturday at 12:56 pm weighing 8 lbs 14 oz and measuring at 20 inches long. She is a sweet baby and we are so glad that she is finally here!

Elly's 2nd Birthday and a few other random pics!

So we celebrated Elly's birthday on the 10th and boy what a difference a year makes. She was so much more excited to open presents and to actually play with them. These first few pictures are just a few random ones, and then there are pics from her party.

We got Elly a bed for her birthday. She likes it, but I don't know if she really loves it yet. This picture was before she went to sleep and the next picture was when she was finally asleep. It's alot harder to keep her in a bed now. We lost all of our freedom that night. That was kind of sad :(

Elly relaxing in the baby seat. We had to hide this because she thinks it is hers.

We went camping over the 4th and Elly and her cousin decided that it would be fun to get into a dirt fight. They were both FILTHY! I can't even count how many times I had to clean her off. She was this dirty the whole trip.
Elly patiently waiting to open her presents and eat cake and ice cream.

Still waiting.....

Putting tape on her face while we were getting everything ready.

Opening her first present.


She REALLY loves jewelry and anything pretty. This was her face when she opened up her bracelets and they haven't left her sight since then.

All dressed up in her new outfit.

Sitting at her table reading her book.

As for baby news, we will most likely end up having her in three weeks. I am really excited because he is taking me two weeks early because of my diabetes and because she is so massive. I am very ready to be done!

So Far This Summer....

So here are some pictures of what we have been up to so far this summer.

Elly loves her blanket....even in 80 degree weather :) She loves to wrap up in it no matter where she is at or how hot it is...she kills me!
Jason and Elly enjoying the nice weather (she really was having fun..just not in this picture)

Checkin out the scenery

She is getting really bad about taking pictures. She really doesn't like to take them.

Wearing my glasses.

Eating cheese and crackers

This is as good as this picture got.

Playing at the play place in McDonald's.

Still playing and loving every minute of it.
