One Month

I can't believe our little boy is already one month old. It seems just yesterday we were bringing him home. He is such a blessing and joy to have. Madelyn loves her little brother so much, almost too much sometimes. Poor little guy can't defend himself yet but soon enough.

Recently my good friend Jenn came over and took pictures of the kids. She did such a beautiful job. Thank you

Love the one eye open pose

Our little sweetheart

Two weeks old

I can't believe Trey is already two weeks, it seems as though we just got home from the hospital time goes by so fast. These last 2 weeks have been great though he sleeps and eats like a champ. He will eat right before we go to bed and wake at 2 or 3 and than sleep until 8 or 9am its crazy but wonderful. We also have just started seeing more of a resemblence with Trey and Maddie such as their mouths,cheeks, and eyes. Trey has a dimple on his right cheek which is adorable.

Maddie is becoming such a great big sister always wanting to kiss, touch, and hold him. We are so blessed to have two beautiful children.

The day before...

The night of the 26th I was having some contractions so being the great husband chad thought that we should go in and check it out. We arrived at about 1am and I was dialated to a 4 still so they had us walk around for an hour, which by the way was the longest hour since we weren't able to leave the hallways. Later they continued to check me and I was a 5 so the Dr decided to admit me and he would break my water. Within just about an hour my contractions were so strong (6) that I finally gave up and had the epidural which was great. 45min later the nurse came in and said "well it looks like your going to have a baby in the next few min." We couldn't believe it, so two pushes later and we were blessed with the arrival of Trey Daniel Hadley.

The surprising thing was that our healthy boy was 9lbs 2oz and 21 1/4 inches long. "Where was he hiding" the nurses kept wondering. Since he was 12 days early and that healthy they must have been off on my due date...

He is such a joy to have in our lives and we are so grateful him. He also has given me a few great nights of sleep. He eats and than will sleep for about 6 hours its wonderful. Let's just hope it keeps up.

We had a wonderful New Years spending time together as a family in our new home it couldn't have been any better well besides the cheese fondue that Chad and I thought was a good idea which it wasn't. Anyway that is a different story..

Happy New year 2008...

Update

I am finally 37 weeks and I have to say this pregnancy has been great so far with not any complicatons, I didn't get sick at all but now is the fun part. The uncomfortable sleeping where there is nothing I can do to get a good nights rest. He moves all day long and right under my ribs "ouch". Yesterday I had my Dr. appoitment and all went well, I am dialated to a 3 already its crazy. Who knows what that means he could come today, tomorrow, or the planned date 31st. We shall see...

Visit with Santa

On Saturday we started our morning by going to a pancake breakfast that was held by our new ward it was good entertainment and great food. We thought it would be a good idea to see sants earlier in the day so that we wouldn't have to wait too long and so that Madelyn would be happy. Well that wasn't the case after standing in line for over an hour and hearing Madelyn say over and over "ho, ho ho" it was our turn. The second I walked her over there she clung to my shoulder as hard as she could and started crying hysterically. I tried to sit her on his lap but she wouldn't have it. The picture turned out ok because they took a side profile of her so you couldn't tell that she was screaming out of control. Needless to say that she didn't like Santa this year, but hopefully next. Just an F.Y.I. if you want to see a great Santa go to Alderwood Mall his the best and so real. Hope your visit to Santa was better...

Busy,Busy,Busy

Is it December already!!! I can't believe how fast this month is going yet alone this year. A lot has happened, on December 1st my Mother-in-law and Sis-in-law had a baby shower for me which was so much fun just hanging out with good friends,eating great food, and the generosity of gifts was amazing. Thanks girls can't wait for you to meet Trey...

On December 4th Shauna and Shelly from my old ward threw a shower for me it was so fun eating cake and hot cider, while seeing the creativity in all the girls making onesies for Trey. I am sad to have left that ward but thanks girls for everything.

Than to top off this month so far we have been so blessed to have finally moved into our new home. We love living in Snoqualmie with the beautiful trees and snow already that surrounds us, and having a place to call "Home". We look forward to sharing many memories with all of our friends up here who have made us feel so welcome. Thank you...

Also thanks to Jen for taking this fun picture of us the night we moved in...

As soon as we are settled and fully unpacked I will post updated pics of our home....

Elder Adam returns home

We had a very event full week starting out with mom and min having a baby shower for me which turned out awesome. Unfortunately we didn't think about a camera at the time so I don't have any pics but it turned out awesome. Thanks you two... On Sunday morning we headed to Boise for the night to stay with my brother and sis-in-law. On mon morning we drove to Utah we had great weather and were very fortunate to stay with our good friends the Dalley's. We relaxed Monday just visiting and catching up. Tues morning we went to the airport to pick up Chad, since he had a meeting he had to fly a few days later to join us. "Sure he just wanted to avoid a 12 hour drive with two toddlers". Than Wednesday morning finally came with the signs in our hands we were off to finally pick up Adam from his mission in Paraguay. With the excitement of waiting for him we all wondered if he has changed very much physically or emotionally? Finally he came down and there was this mature 21 yr old elder with a bright smile happy as can be. He finally met his niece and nephew which was so fun. He was the same Adam and to our surprise as the day went on we realized that spiritually he has changed and matured but our Adam was back and ready for some fun. We went to lunch, shopping, and even caught a movie. It is so great to have him home.

Thursday we headed over to our Aunt and Uncles for dinner and than to another relatives for pie. They all loved seeing and visiting with Adam. After a long day we headed back to Dalley's and relaxed for the night. Well Adam,Nick, and Chad played Guitar Hero and we all watched Hairspray. Fri morning was the "door crashers" mom and I headed to the stores at 5 but even by 5:15 most of the things we went for were gone. Oh well we still had a great time. The week was finally coming to an end and Adam was ready to finally relax and sleep for a while.

Saturday we headed to Boise to visit with Matt and Kim, we all went to the Hockey game that night at the Arena which was awesome. Matt got us all a suite so the kids were able to be blocked in and run wild which they did. Matthew does all the graphics and such for the teams in Boise. Thanks Matt. Go Steelheads!!!

Sunday morning we headed out back home what a great and memorable trip we all had, and we are so happy Adam is back!!
