December!!!

Hunting with Mom and Dad for the perfect Christmas tree! Mom and I got cold pretty quick and hung out in the truck, I took a nap while we waited for Dad.

Uncle Jimmy got Married December 16th to the Lovely Heidi And I got to ware this pretty dress that Heidi's roommate made. It was a long day but we are so glad to have Heidi in the Family and uncle Jimmy so happy.

Me with the Bride and groom and my hair sticking strait in the air, it does that no matter how hard mom tried to get it to lay down. You just gotta love it!

We decided to go with a Christmas theme in decorating the car and we were pretty happy with how it turned out!

MY FIRST CHRISTMAS

Santa took a picture just after loading the stockings and before he went to the next house. Mom made the stockings and is pretty proud of herself. She finished them the day before Christmas eve. We were worried she wouldn't get them done in time but she did!!!

Here I am going through my stocking Christmas morning. I was pretty excited about the oranges and the Hot Cocoa. But now that I look back on it I don't think I got to enjoy consuming either of them. Mom and Dad say I was just excited because It was morning and I am always really happy when I wake up in the morning. Either way I enjoyed going through my stocking.

After We all went through our stockings we loaded up the gifts and went over to Granny and Grandpa Dryden's for Breakfast and to open gifts with everyone else.

I'm ready to open them all!!

I got a jumparoo!! Its a lot of fun for about five minutes, then I am ready to be put on the floor so I can roll all over the place.

Granny and Grandpa with Daddy and all my Dryden Aunts and Uncles. Not the best picture but it will do. Needless to say we had a great Christmas with the Dryden's.

Time For a New Post

I know, I know, its time for a new post and has been for a while. But I need a little help from mom to post pictures so this one will just be my personal profile cause mom is busy making stockings.



My name is Adalynn Dryden I am about 28 in long 15 some lbs, blue eyes (kind of still grey still but hopefully going blue), light brown hair, cutest little nose ever. I love sitting up and playing with my toys. I also enjoy putting anything I can in my mouth, unless it is carrots or bananas, I like sweet potatoes but my body doesn't seem to feel the same way. I had some at thanksgiving dinner and just finally got over the rash it gave me. I love it when my dad is home and just watch his every move. If you talk to me I'll smile bigger than ever. I don't like to go to sleep, I really don't like to go to sleep! and don't nap very long. I don't eat very much, I roll around every where I can. I also love my mom a ton, except when she tries to put me to sleep. If you'd like to get to know me better just visit this blog periodically as I will update it as I have time.

6 Months

I am now 6 months old as of Thursday. My mom and dad can't believe I've been around that long. I went to the Doctor yesterday and he said I am doing well. I weighed in at 14.13 lbs which is in the 20th percentile and my length was 26in which is in the 60th percentile so I guess I'm not a very big baby. Dad was nervous cause I had to get shots Its a good thing he didn't go with me because he would have cried more than I did. I decided to be strong for him even though he wasn't there so Ionly shed a few tears. I really am growing up, I sit up really well with some help and do alright for a little bit without help. I can roll to my stomach just fine but I don't enjoy that position much and haven't quite got the hang of rolling back over. My dad is pretty good at making me laugh, I laugh most when I am really tired. I love my dad and watching him. I hate going to sleep even when I'm real tired but mom seems to hate when I'm awake and real tired so she tries to rocks me to sleep and I put up a good fight but she usually wins. I demand a lot of attention and stress my mom out sometimes but I'm pretty sure she still thinks I'm the cutest thing in the world! I'm pretty sure I have the best mommy and daddy in the World!

Hunting and Halloween

Dad went Deer/Elk hunting just over 3 weeks ago with Grandpa Hendrix and Uncle Jeff and this is what he came back with, and boy is he proud. Not proud enough however because he is already making plans to go out next year and get and even bigger one. Mom says he is not allowed to shoot another one until they can afford to pay some one to cut it up because she did not enjoy doing that with this deer. The whole story of dad getting the deer is quite the long story so you'll have to talk to him if you what more details.

I am watching the trailer to the movie UP and just loving it! My dad discovered my love for this trailer a while ago and if I scream just loud enough and long enough and don't stop despite all of their efforts they will sit me in front of the computer and play the UP trailer for me and of course I calm right down. Since I like the trailer so much, while dad was hunting Mom, Grandma Hendrix and Aunt Julie took me to the theater to watch the movie UP. I really enjoyed it, I got tired and took a little nap but woke up to see the end.

This is a really excited me. I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!

My First Halloween. Mom dressed me up as her little lamb. She made the costume herself and is so proud with how it turned out.

We trick or treated Granny and Grandpa Dryden's but that was the extent of our trick or treating adventures.

We also went to the ward Halloween party and everyone thought I was so cute. That made mom even more proud I think.

At the party dad took me fishing, so this is a picture of my first fishing adventure with dad. I caught a ring. Then we went through the spook ally which was more scary for mom than me.

Here we have a picture of my cousin Shayli that mom wanted me to post just because she is so cute.

Yes we're still alive

watching conference with dad

Don't I looks so cute

Just after mom put me through the torture of the baby contest. Nope I didn't win. I know we were all shocked.

Another outdoor adventure

Do we really have to go on another hike? I just want to go home.

Two Spectacular Years Together!

It's my Mommy and Daddy's Anniversary today. They are so happy together! I think they've really ejoyed that last two years but I am pretty sure they would say that the last 4 months have been the best part! Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad!

Cabin Fever

I think my parents have decided that they have to take me everywhere they can possibly think of in my first six months of life. So far I've done pretty good with the traveling but if they don't narrow it down a bit I might have to start complaining. A few weeks ago we went to our Great-Grandpa Hendrix's cabin at Twin Lakes in California. It was really beautiful up they. I got lugged around in that dang carrier thing, thank goodness my dad came up with the idea of letting me face out cause it gets pretty boring when all I can see is the shirt my face is smashed into.

Dad, uncle Jeff and cousin Brice hicked to a mountain like one day to go fishing. It looks like it was a beautiful hike and lake.
