Fun Times At The Park...

I took Christian to the park on Tuesday. He seemed to like it but was deep in thought in all the pictures. I wish I knew what he was thinking. I will now show how cute he looked at the park.

A Forever Family

On August 30, Christian was sealed to us in the Bountiful Temple. What a great experience to be with the people I love so dear. We had about twenty-three friends and family in the temple. It was great to have so much support . We are glad to have Christian legally and spiritually ours. Here are some great pictures to share such a great event.

The Cute Little Trouble Maker

Christian is in the stage were he likes to get into everything. I know it will only get worse. Here are a couple of videos of Christian doing what he does best, keeping mom really busy.


Christian loves to unload the diapers. Unloading the diapers is his favorite job to do in his room.




When I need to do something for a few minutes, I will open our DVD cupboard and let him take all the DVDs out.


Christian loves to play with the blinds. We tell him no no but he will continue to pull on them until we have to move the blind so that he can't play with them.

He is so cute right now but I am sure tire by the end of the day. He is one active little boy. Christian has to be moving all the time. He will walk in his walker but his favorite thing to do is be on the floor, picking things off the floor. I can't wait until he is out of this stage. I will also post a blog about all the things Christian can do but I need to get a couple more pictures before I can post.

Finalizing Christian

On August 25, we went to the Court to finalize Christian. We had quiet the experience. Our court time was suppose to be at 9:00. Our attorney was late due to bad traffic. Since Chris and I are new to this court thing we did not understand what was going on. Our attorney really couldn't help us either because he couldn't hear what was going on and he is blind. We finally caught on that the attorney was suppose to go up and approach the judge. I wanted to make sure this was correct so I asked our social worker from the adoption agency, if that was the case. She said, that our attorney just need to approach the judge. I asked her if she was late to something because of the lateness of our case. She said, really rudely that she had a life to and we need to get this over with as soon as possible. Once we were up, our attorney couldn't still couldn't hear. Finally my mom asked if she could come up and talk to our attorney to help him hear. This was a big help and our case went through rather quickly after that. The judge said, to the social worker that he was absolutely appalled at the cost of the adoption. My mom, Chris, and I wanted to say we agree but we decide we would keep our mouths shut.

I wanted to mention that our attorney is also my great uncle. It was really nice for him to do this because he wanted to do if for pretty much nothing. We did pay him because it would have been a lot more money without his help. Thanks for Kent for his great help in getting Christian finalized.


Christian kept putting his hand on Kent's hand. It was so cute.

Kent wanted to hold Christian

Us in front of the court room. We didn't know that we could take picture inside.

This is my favorite picture.

After Christian was legally ours, my mom took us to lunch to celebrate. We went to Sizzler. Christian sure liked the potatoes my mom feed him. After lunch, Chris, Christian, and I went to the zoo. We had a great time. Chris really enjoyed it because he hadn't been to the zoo since he was a kid. These are the great pictures Chris captured at the zoo.

We were really lucky we went to the zoo when we did because the white alligator is on loan at the zoo and is only there for one more month. We enjoyed our encounter with the white alligator.

Chris was really lucky to get this picture because the Elephant wasn't being too friendly at first. All he wanted to do is put his back side toward us. I told Chris just forget about taking a picture, at that moment the elephant decided that it was ok for us to get a picture of him.

It is hard to capture a smile from Christian. Chris was able to do it.

The bear decide to come greet us.

I like this picture of the zebras.

I also like this picture because it looks as if the turtle is smiling.

This picture is great because Chris took the picture just as this monkey was sticking out his tongue.

The baby orangutan was sure cute again. He hung upside down to get his blanket wet and than brought it up to suck on it.

After the zoo, we went to find a suit for Christian to wear at the temple and also for his baby blessing. Doesn't he look like a little man.
