Party like its my birthday! (or not)

Yes, my 26th birthday has come and gone. I didn't do much, but it was nice. I wanted to go to Matilda's, an Australian restaurant only to discover it has been closed. So we went to MacCool's Irish Pub instead, which was really gross. Bummer. But we did have a good time eating ice cream cake for dessert. :) I got an FM ipod thing so I can play my ipod music in the car. And that is it. Pretty boring, but what do you expect... getting old is boring. :)

26 what??

Here is a picture I took of my face on accident. I was trying to figure out why my camera wasn't working. haha... yuck. Anyway, I can hardly believe I am turning 26(this saturday, for those of you who didn't know). What a dumb age. 25 seemed more significant, like, yay! I'm a quarter of a century old! Now it is just two random numbers stuck together. But at least I don't have to go through all the crap that happened the year I was 25, so hooray for new beginnings! This past year was pretty hellish. I can't believe I've somehow lost all that hate I had for Cody.. I never thought that day would come! And so, although I'm getting older, I raise my glass to time! Time truly does heal all wounds. And let's hope this year is a better one!

Adelaide Lacy Andreasen's Baby Blessing

Here we are after Adelaide was blessed. Much smaller group this time.
Proud Momma...
Adelaide had the most beautiful dress on. A woman in our ward made it for her, and she looked so beautiful. It was a nice blessing, considering (meaning the exs were there), and I was happy to have her blessed. She is doing well, and is still a very good baby. I don't know how I got so lucky.

Getting ready for my date

Yes, it is true, I went on my first date the other day. It was pretty fun, and I made my lovely cousin Melissa come and bring a date. As it was a blind date, I didn't know what to expect. But thanks to facebook, both my date and I knew a bit about each other before we actually met. While my date is a very nice guy, I don't think either of us was really interested. Oh well, you can't win them all. :) But as scared as I was to go, I'm happy that is over with. It was easier than I thought it would be, and when I got nervous I imagined my missionary badge on and told myself, "you can talk with anyone!" So here I am, a dating machine! lol... okay, one date does not a machine make, but I am accepting offers for setups now. I am fearless! :)

Everyone loves the baby chair but the baby....

Pictured here is Fur... as always, he is sitting somewhere inconvenient.
And here is Hyrum, thinking it is his bouncy seat....The only one who doesn't like to sit in the baby bouncer is the baby herself. And here Adelaide is wondering why Fur has to always be wherever we don't want him. :) He is a crazy cat. We love him, except when he is sticking his butt in our faces to get attention, or when he is tracking down and destroying binky after binky, or when he is eating my hair at ungodly hours of the night, or when he is up in our buisness at the dinner table. But hey, did I mention we love him?

Sleepless nights and sweet babies

Here is little Adelaide... I love those pajamas!
Again, asleep in her carseat...
And here we are together... I'm trying to remember that I need to get pictures of me holding her so that she doesn't feel left out. Do I look tired? I always ask that, because I always feel so tired! But mostly, I'm happy. Thanks Celexa!

Quick update and an ugly photo of me.

Wow... How terrible I look in this photo. However, I've given myself some slack because it was only two days after the baby was born... we are in our Christmas outfits... can you tell I look tired? Things have been going well. The day I wrote my last blog Hyrum had the stomach flu. I was lucky enough to get it the next day. And then, two weeks later, I got it again. So I've had more than my share of ickiness thank you! I think mothers should never be sick. It is totally not fair. So I've gotten about 2 hours of sleep in the past few days. Ugh. Luckily though, a sweet guy in my ward fixed my computer for me. I love people in the church! They are my family when my family can't help me. Hyrum is adjusting well, but is entering the terrible twos... I already hate it. Adelaide never lost any weight, just gained. She now weighs a little over seven pounds. She is so sweet. Aren't all babies? I still don't want any more though. lol... This is my update. Boring, but my life none the less.
