Hiking Picket Post

Yahoo Adell's first real hike. I don't know who is more excited her or Dad!We love this little back pack thing. It is so nice to throw Adell in it and take off. Adell loves being rocked to sleep this way too. She also loves to check out all the scenery.


We all had a great time getting out and enjoying a cool Arizona day!! What a fun family outing!




Best Friends???

Oliver Loves little Adell. He is always around checking up on her. If she is being fussy he will make sure mom and dad know. You can almost hear him say "Adell is sad. Come help her. Come get Adell. She needs you." On the other hand I don't think Adell knows what to do with this hairy slobbering beast that licks her toes every chance he gets.

Adell's Baby Blessing

Who are these unsavory characters and what are they doing at my house??!!
Oh yea we invited them to Adell's Baby Blessing.


This is Scott Dryscal. He is like a second father to Kevin. Looks like he plays Grandpa pretty well too!!Ah the proud Papa!. So excited and very very nervous!

Adell had such a cute dress. It was made by Sharon Todd (Kevin's mother's twin sister) and the little booties were made by Arlene Lundgren, a great lady from our ward. They made me think of Grandma Jones' booties that she would make for us for Christmas.



Dr. Flake to the Rescue!

After a great day of fishing we went and visited Uncle Robert and Aunt Anne in Pinetope then we all headed out to the ranch the next day. Uncle Robert was nice enough to check out Adell's toe for us. Adell's "pinky" toe is positioned different so smashes up against the other toe next to it causing it to bend in. Uncle Robert said it was no big deal, we just might get it checked out a while down the road like when she is twelve. We weren't really worried but it was nice to know for sure. So Thanks Uncle Robert! and Thank you Aunt Anne for being a great grandma to our little Adell.We all loved hanging out at the ranch. Oliver apparently decided to help clean the place up by picking up every stray cobweb he could find.



gone fishin



So we tried our hand at a little fishing at Woods Canyon Lake.
Moma tried......
Daddy tried.....


And Adell took lots on naps.

We caught three crawdads, a twig, and a tree but no fish. Sound familiar dad??
