Our Hidden Gem

Arya Isabella Shreeve
It's was a wonderful and very fast paced October. Arya (A-rye-a) decided to make her appearance 10 days early on the morning of October 13th. It was a quick 3 pushes at 3:36am without a doctor present and no epidural because it all happened so fast! Adelyn is very excited to be a big sister and loves to shower Arya with kisses everyday. Blake and I love being the parents of two beautiful girls, yet it may not look it because of the bags under our eyes. Arya hardly ever cries, but boy does she grunt at night. Addy keeps me on my toes during the day with constant, "Mommy"'s, "Come here"'s, and potty training:)! Life is a joy and we are glad we can share a little of it with you all. Enjoy the pictures!

Halloween is a Comin'

Ye Ha, here is our little Cowgirl! Adelyn is excited for Halloween and loves pumpkins. We have decorated our windows with cut out "Ghosties" and pumpkins and already made and delivered Halloween sugar cookies. We did it way early this year because Arya was suppose to come on the 23rd and we wanted to be able to celebrate. I made a cake for our little street party at our neighbor Candice's house.

Here we are at our little street Halloween Party. We let the kids play, eat lunch, and eat cake. It was very fun!

This is the National Navy Memorial.

Addy insisted on trying to give Blake a kiss while on his head. It was so funny and cute.

I would like you to notice how many times Addy is in the water during our trip.

Washington D.C.

Addy loved the streets of D.C. Here is a couple pictures of her admiring the "street" in her unique crazy way.

What she is doing here is unknown to anyone, but her. If you'll notice in several of the pictures she has been caught doing this and I have called it, "That thing".

She circled this tree several times, running and laughing. It was quite halarious!

Where are we Dad?

Washington D.C.

Here we are at the National Natural History Museum.
Here is Colossal Head #4 of 17 from Mexico. It dates from 1200-900 B.C. Pretty cool huh!

In case you were wondering this is a real 'Cedar of Lebanon'. They talk about them all of the time in the Bible and I had always wanted to know what one looked like.


Addy loves Elephants and raises her arm like a trunk while making a great elephant sound.
Addy also loves Hippos and whenever you say, "Open your mouth as big as a hippo." she does.

The Columbus Temple

Grandma Shreeve came to visit and we decided to go to Kirtland. We had a great time at the sights and had a picnic afterwards. Addy loved the swing.
