Adaline 1st Birthday Party in Utah!

 Barbie Themed Birthday Party

 Pink, black and white, where the colors of this party

 With free printable party favors I was able to give Adaline's party an affordable theme.

 I even made her a birthday sign.

 

 Adaline got to celebrate her 1st birthday with the Kellersberger Grandparents, Haley and Randy, and Kelsie, Johny, and Kayson and Uncle Colby who was not in the picture.

We had a wonderful time getting together to eat pizza from Papa Murphy, yum!

Then watching Adaline open all of her presents that the family had brought her. There were so many new toys to play with. Here is a boat for the bathtub.

She also got about a million little people animals. 

 Grandma and Grandpa got her the Little People Ark and each set of animals go into the ark. Adaline loved it.

 Grandma also got her the Little People house bike to ride around the living room.

 Kayson was also getting in on the present giving and presented Adaline with a Paparazzi bracelet for Sunday.

 Haley tried to show Adaline how to use her new bike but Adaline was not too sure about thing underneath her body so she did not last long it.

Adaline was more interested in Grandma opening up some of her new animals to play with.

 But Kayson loved the bike and he knew just how to use it, too.

 Then Adaline got to dig into her birthday cake with some help from mommy. She enjoyed sucking the chocolate frosting off her fingers.

She had a huge personal cake to enjoy all by herself and everyone else was served the cupcakes that came with the cake.

Adaline Birthday was a Barbie themed party so of course she had to have Barbie on her cake. This topper Grandma Kellersberger was able to get to make the cake match the rest of the party theme.

 "Oh, yum. This is so good. I can't get enough."

 "I get to eat the whole thing right?"

Daddy videoed little girl eating her cake. It was so fun to watch her daintily pick little pieces of icing off her cake and eat it with her index and thump. Like a little princess even with the chocolate covering her face.

It was a lot of fun. Adaline only got a little way into her cake when she was done and on sugar over load.

 Grandma Kellersberger got her this super cute balloon that is going to go into her memory book.

Daddy and his little one year old!

It was a great party and we had an awesome time with the whole family and I know that Adaline enjoyed her Birthday party, cake, and pizza, too!

Alexsis's Baptism

 Cory, Adaline and I got to attend Alexsis' baptism and see her be baptized by Grandpa Brewer in Whiteriver.

"We are so proud of you, Alexsis."

The whole Spinner Family with Grandpa Brewer

 Tyler baptized an Indian girl who also was making the decision to join the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

 We are all so proud of Alexsis' decision to receive the Holy Ghost as her constant companion if she will follow the commandments of Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. We know that this will help throughout her entire life to draw closer to her Father in Heaven and to her Savior, Jesus Christ. The Holy Ghost will testify of truths she learns as she studies the scriptures and prays to receive answers and directions in her life.

The whole family who attended - wow Alexsis has a lot of people who love her very much

Tyler going through the Snowflake Temple

 Cory and I got to go along with Bridgette and attend the same session as Tyler as he went through to receive his own living endowment. We are so proud that Tyler has made the decision to go on a mission and to receive his own endowment. This decision will help him grow in some may spiritual ways and will develop him from a young man of great character, to a well seasoned man of wisdom.

It was wonderful being in the temple as a whole family. We greatly missed those who were not with us.

One big happy family!

 

 After the temple we made our way to a Mexican restaurant in Snowflake to celebrate. Bridgette suggested that I get the Mexican Pizza and she was right it was delicious.

Everyone ate a delicious dinner and had a great time together.

 

 It was wonderful to spend this time laughing and joking about old times.

 Mischa, Rudger, Desi, and Tyler getting ready for their food.

 

Tyler tried to speak Spanish to the waitress, but he was not exactly sure how to say everything - she gave him a free friend ice cream to celebrate him going on a mission.

Adaline's Early Birthday Party in Arizona

Aunt Mischa and Aunt Bridgette helped throw an Arizona birthday party for Adaline and we invited the whole family. All arrived to enjoy the amazing food of Aunt Bridgette. She made for us a wonderful potato bar of cheese and broccoli and chilli beans with all of the yummy toppings. We then got to enjoy a fun cake made by Mischa for Adaline to dig into. 

 

 Adaline was not sure exactly how to dig into the cake so mommy helped by shoving her hand into it.

After I showed her how to get started she did not need my help in understanding what came next the eating.

She had fun along with all her cousins looking on as she enjoyed her cake.

Then it was time to open presents Adaline had a special announcement for everyone with the first gift. She let the Brewer family know that she was "Soon to Be a Big Sister. Everyone was so excited but little girl wanted to get to open all her other presents.

Little girl is going to be a Big Sister!

 On Saturday, January 12, 2012 I took a pregnancy test and with Adaline and Cory looking on we saw the cross line appear. Adaline is going to be a big sister. She was so cute that we had to take pictures with her holding the evidence.

"I'm going to be a big sister! I am going to be the best."

 "This is crazy what does being a big sister mean?"

"Mommy, is this why you have not been feeling well?"

Cory and I are really excited to find out that we are pregnant with our second little one. Adaline is going to be such a great older sister. I know that she is going to love, help take care of, and be the best kind of older sister. She is so loving to Cory and I that I know she has a wonderfully big heart. Cory and I are looking forward to having a another addition to our family. We wonder what that baby will be, a boy or a girl, we are excited no matter what comes and we pray that the baby will be healthy and safe.
