Scott's sister started at BYU Idaho in mid April. She flew into Salt Lake after her semester at DisneyWorld and her Mom came up from AZ to take her up to Rexburg. The plan was for them to hurry up there and then hurry back so that DaNae could play with Adam....
Well I was scheduled to start work the next Monday so on Friday morning Scott and I decided that we wanted to take a little "get away" and go up with them. We called Noel and Matt and asked if we could stay with them that night and by 2pm we were on the road. Adam was so good in the car on the 4 hour drive! We spent the evening hanging with Scott's cousin and eating at Craigo's... a pizza, pasta, and salad buffet... and I loved it. After dinner Scott and I headed over to Noel and Matt's and had a blast hanging out with them. We had fun talking until everyone was almost asleep... especially all the boys.
Matt and Noel were wonderful with Adam and so excited to meet him. They are working on their adoption papers and they are going to make great parents! The next morning we got to hang out a little more with Matt and Noel. It was so great to spend time with such great friends. Glad they were willing to welcome us on such short notice!
That morning DaNae was getting moved into her apartment and getting groceries so Scott and I went to visit my Aunt and Uncle for a few minutes and then we went and helped DaNae get a little more moved in. Once we got that done we left for Idaho Falls and went to the mall cause DaNae needed to do some shopping. Scott and I had fun wandering around the mall while DaNae bought new clothes and shoes to wear at school since they can't wear shorts or flip flops to class. We even got the first Fablehaven book to read together. That was fun to start on the way home. After the mall we drove to Shelly to visit Aunt Rilda and Uncle Ray.
There was lots of competition to hold Adam, especially between DaNae and Mom. DaNae was so excited to play with Adam! We stayed with Rilda and Ray until Sunday afternoon and had a blast with some amazing food! All too soon it was time for us to head home and get back to reality.
I started work the next day. I had wanted to wait another few weeks. I had applied I think on Tuesday, had an interview on Thursday, and was hired that same day, but I had to start Monday. I worked at the same job a few years ago so I didn't really have to interview for it. It is not the best job, but I'm just glad that I can work early in the morning so Scott and I can usually be the ones to take care of Adam and that I can get insurance soon with only working 32 hours a week. This just gives us some steady income while Scott tries to start his own company with some friends.
Almost two months ago this was Adam's first bath. 
Now it looks more like this. I can't believe how fast he is growing. 
All clean... All wrapped up in his Ducky Towel. And my favorite picture of all... quote from Little Rascals: 
I'm a He Man Women Hater! (Well except for my Mommy)
All the cousins... Chloe and Landon were playing the Wii, and Adam and Tanner were hanging out on the blanket. 
Tanner liked his cousin... he just kept wanting to play with him, I just had to make sure that he didn't crush Adam ;)
I know you like bacon mommy so I made you breakfast! I even let Daddy help!
Here is my close up. 
I look a little weird on this one, but Mommy thinks I look cute... Mothers! My head is not as big as it looks here. 
This is my swing that my Goodman cousins gave me for Christmas while I was still my Mommy's tummy. Mommy and Daddy seem to like this swing a lot, it calms me down when I'm upset. 
This is me just chillin.
Adam and Mommy! 
This Mommy sure loves this little boy. 
Grandma and Grandpa are so good to me!
Enjoying the walk. My Dad was great at taking lots of pictures. 
So I was having a great time, but I will admit I was a little nervous about dropping him over the edge.
The whole group... A nice lady offered to take a picture of all of us. 
Adam and I did find a nice bench to hang out on with a very pretty view.
