Happy Birthday Devan!

Yesterday was Devan's 27th birthday! We had a really fun day and were able to have some friends over for birthday cake.

Adeline and Devan on the "fort" after church today. Devan is such a fun dad. I've been thinking about how lucky I am to have Devan for a husband these last 2 1/2 years now! I can honestly and literally say I have never heard him say anything negative about anyone or complain about anything even once. He is such an optimistic person—who wouldn't love to be around someone like that every day? Even with all he has to do right now, he always saves time for his family and never gets stressed out or overwhelmed at all.

Adeline in her new pajamas tonight. She actually seemed to enjoy wearing the hat.

Isn't this DKNY sweatsuit the cutest? She's been spending a lot more time playing independently lately. And talking a LOT! Her favorite words are home, more, moo, and amen. My favorite new skill of hers is when she poops her diaper, she brings me a diaper and wipes without being asked!

This shot is just so typical Adeline. She has always had such a strong personality and a great sense of humor!

Adeline ready for church last week, playing on one of her favorite places—our bed!

Wearing all of Daddy's belts. Feelin' pretty cool.

October Happenings

We have had a fun month. I really need to start posting more often so each post isn't a million pictures long! Devan has been keeping busy with schoolwork and internship interviews. He's really enjoying the MBA program so far. Adeline is busy running around and getting into everything, which seems to keep me busy! She has really grown up lately; she talks a lot and can say lots of words. I love that she can understand so much now. We can ask her to bring us something and she'll run into the next room and get it. Of course one of Adeline's favorite things is helping Devan and me do whatever we're doing. She definitely has quite the little personality. There's never a dull moment when Adeline is around! She keeps us laughing and rarely seems to stop laughing herself.

She was a giraffe for Halloween—luckily our friend Scott got a picture of her with the hood on since she hated wearing it! She even shared the grand prize with another little giraffe!

The family at the ward Trunk or Treat. I am a Flames Fan and Devan is an oil rig worker.

Adeline's favorite pastime lately has been making piles of everything: socks, hair bows, my jewelry, books, condiments from the fridge, the list goes on and on. . .

Adeline still loves bath time. She loves her paper dolls from Grandma Raynor. She just sticks them all over each other but it always seems to keep her busy for a while.

Just a bunch of cute pictures I couldn't NOT post!

Devan has built some forts for Adeline, but her favorite part is collapsing the fort and sitting on top. She will sit there and read her books for hours throughout the day.

This was yesterday. I took a nap while Adeline slept, and when she woke up, Devan put her on me and she just laid there. I love having such a cuddly little girl (that word usage was for you, Sarah!)!
