Adi’s Baby Blessing

~ Etc.

We had Adi’s baby blessing two sundays ago and guess who came and surprised us! Jay’s parents and his youngest brother, Mikey! We didn’t think they were coming since we decided on it two weeks before and his mom said they weren’t gonna make it, but they secretly had bought their plane tickets and didn’t tell us a thing until they showed up at Jay’s work and then showed up at our house to surprise me. (Apparently they came to our house and knocked and rang the door bell earlier but me being me, I didn’t hear a sound.)

It was so good seeing them and we had a blast spending the weekend with them. They helped us a ton with buying food, making food, cleaning, and most of all, being there when Jay gave a beautiful blessing to Adi. I realized even more than before how great and important families are. I always tell Jay how fortunate we both are that we have such a wonderful family and I’ll be eternally grateful that Jay comes from such a loving, spiritual, tight, caring family. No wonder why Jay is one of the greatest father I have ever met. I owe that to his parents.

Close to 60 people came to the blessing and to the dinner later that night. Thanks everyone for making it memorable for us!!!

And Jay’s parents took us snowmobiling! How cool is that! Thank you and we love you!






Adi Laughing

~ Etc.

Adi loves to see mommy laugh. Whenever I start cracking up, she starts cracking up with me. I just hope she isn’t laughing at me, but laughing with me instead. 

p.s: don’t mind my annoying fake laughs.  But it was necessary. 😉

Adi is Talkin’!!!

~ Etc.

This is a typical day for Adi. She sure loves to talk these days and even though I have no idea what she’s saying, she sure seems to know what she’s saying. The video is sideways for a few secs. but it turns back to normal.

Blast from the Past

~ Etc.



Our ward had a Blast from the Past prom night for a Valentine’s activity last Saturday. It was quiet interesting I have to admit since the majority of the members in our ward are triple our age.

Even though we kept on making fun of it and saying we were so glad we didn’t bring our friends with us to the activity, and despite us standing awkwardly on the dance floor for the first 5 mins. (because all the music was from the 50’s and the 60’s and we had no idea how to dance to it), we had a good time.

All the eyes were on Jay the whole dance because he was so dramatic, with him getting down on his knee, mouthing the words of the songs to me with his arms stretched out, or him doing his silly dance moves that’s impossible to explain in words. I wish you were there to see it, you would’ve had quiet a blast just watching him. He has a way of making the best out of situations and that’s just one of the many things I admire about him.

Thanks Josh & Jaymie for babysitting Adi!

Adi’s daDDy

~ Etc.



I had to take a picture of Jay taking pictures of Adi sleeping in her crib. I kept on laughing at him as he climbed up on the dresser and all he said to me was, “Shh, you’re gonna wake up baby. shhh….” He is such a cute daddy. ^ ^
