One of my favorite dresses she has. Can't remember who I got this from. Love it.
Addie already loves her papa...it will only increase with time. Her favorite person in the world, I think.
First encounter with food, besides rice cereal. We gave her bananas. She kind of made a face but still devoured them all the same.

DECEMBER 2010
McKenzie Ann Jackson Garner, graduation day. This was such an amazing day. I never thought this day would come, and I never never thought I was have such a wonderful husband and a beautiful daughter when it did. Deven, Adelaide, Mom, Dad, Brady, Marie, and Larry were all there to celebrate with me. I'm DONE!!!!! Well, for now anyway. Hoping to get my Masters one day.
A rainy day, but it was spectacular!
Adelaide with Santa at the Smith Family Christmas Party in Morgan.
Addie got a fun little piano from Santa!
Adelaide's first Christmas! She got spoiled.
Temple Square. It was freezing, we had to bundle Addie up!!!
We found the Sesame Street ABC books online for Addie. She loves looking at them.
We decided to try getting a cat. I thought it would be fun for Addie because she absolutely loves kittens and cats. This is Nemo. We had Nemo for about a total of 10 days...yeah, on day 10, I broke out in hives and my face exploded. Nemo had to go. Grandma Peggy had to come help me clean every inch of my house and get all the cat hair. I never realized I had an allergy. Later on, Addie showed signs of cat allergies as well. Fun while it lasted.

Yummy!
This is only pictures of one smash cake. She actually got to do this three times. She had one at her friends party, one on her actual birthday, and another on her family party. The cake never was old news to her.
I think she thinks she is in Heaven...

DECEMBER 2011
Santa sets up the presents so nice. Pretty! Also, Buxton's surprised everybody on Christmas Eve and were able to eat Christmas Eve dinner with us. Only Deven and I knew about it so we could make arrangements where they would stay. It was such a lovely surprise for everyone!
Addie was such a cute stink bug opening presents. She was seriously bouncing up and down.
FEBRUARY 2012
Just thought I would note, that Deven and I found out at the very end of January that we were having another GIRL!!! We were so excited! Can't wait to meet her!
Went to visit Amy, Troy and the kids in West Yellowstone, MO. We went ice skating. Easton didn't want to go. Had a blast. Deven and I went on a snowmobiling tour of the park with Uncle Troy. Addie stayed home and got her fingers smashed in the door. Grandma felt to bad and it probably sooo glad that I decided to blog about it. :-)

Mommy loves tickling Addie. We got some pictures here. Originally we came to fly Daddy's kite. Addie sure loved to help out and drag the kite behind her on the ground. Wind was pretty strong and it didn't go so well.
APRIL 2012
Easter Egg Hunt...Hislop Style.
There is a family in our ward, they are such neat people. We love them to death. One year, they took their son to an Easter Egg Hunt and it ended up being a disaster with a whole bunch of greedy children. Needless to say, he had a horrible experience. They decided to hold their own Easter Egg Hunt and invite others to join. They only have a few simple rules. They have a lesson of the true meaning of Easter before and teach the children about sharing and giving to show Christ our love for one another. You pick of candy, but you can't put it in your own basket, you have to put it in someone else's basket. And, in turn, others will put candy in your basket. Such a cute idea!!! They do it every year. Addie had the opportunity to participate this year.
Addie is admiring the chickens.
Addie got to touch a new baby chick! She thought it was the neatest thing.
Easter Egg Hunt at Grandma and Grandpa Woolsey's. Addie is wearing her Easter Dress! So pretty.
Addie loves her new trike from Grandma and Grandpa Woolsey.
Addie's friends birthday party. This is a swimming pool full of BUBBLES. Made huge bubbles with the Hula Hoop. All the kids ended up getting in and playing in the bubbles.
Addie's family birthday party...she has a mustache! She wasn't fond of it. She kept trying to put it on other people.
Loved opening presents ON HER OWN!
Loves her dress from Uncle Brady and Jacob.

INTRODUCING...LONDON ROSE GARNER
JUNE 24, 2012
Born at 10:17 PM
6 lbs. 11 oz.
20 inches
It was such a special day. I was having headaches and retaining water. They were watching my levels to watch for the HELLP syndrome because I had that with Addie. I ended up going to the hospital Sunday morning because of my headache, it was worse than a full blown migraine. I seriously felt dumb going in to the hospital for only a headache but it will be one of those things I can't describe, it was way more than just a headache. They took blood to make sure all of my levels were good. Everything was great except my headache and also that by blood platelets had gone down, just like they did with Adelaide. Dr. Sumsion decided to start me, he didn't want to chance anything because of my past medical history. Plus I made it to 37 weeks. Dr. Sumsion treated me for the HELLP syndrome once again, I have to be hooked up to the Pitocin and magnesium sulfate. This didn't really mesh well with my birth plan. Oh well. They broke my water somewhere between 2 to 2:30PM and I received an extremely light epidural (requested by mom) around 6:30. London Rose Garner was such a beautiful baby. It was such a different experience to keep the baby in the room instead of being whisked away into the NICU. London got to stay with mom from the very start. People in the room were: Mommy, obviously, Dad, Grandma Peggy, Grandpa Richard, Grandma Marie, Aunt Janet and Haleigh, Dr. Sumsion and the nurses. Uncle David and Brock were in the waiting room. Grandpa Richard hid in the corner so he didn't get the ultimate surprise...haha. I fell in love with the name London after a little girl in mom and dads home ward...London Krey. Rose is after Deven's grandmother Rosalie Bybee Garner. This was a Sunday that I will never forget.
Adelaide loved meeting her new sister. Addie was crying because she wanted to hold her sister again! I'm sure she had missed mommy and daddy too!
That's not a tan line just in case you were wondering...it's from the blinds.
London's first night home. We had quite the scare. London was in her crib and we were telling Addie a story (in the same room). I felt the spirit tell me to quickly check on London. There was no reason to do so except that prompting. I immediately jumped up and there was little London Rose blue from head to toe. She had started to choke on some spit up, I assume. Deven and I started suctioning out her mouth and nose and pat her on the back. It took a while. It was such a traumatic experience. It just reminded me that a mother always needs to be in tune with the Holy Spirit so she can do Heavenly Father's will for His children. I love my girls!

My friend Andrea J Dansie did these photos, she is very talented. Loved these pictures.

SEPTEMBER 2012
We blessed London on Sunday September 16, 2012. It was such a neat blessing, Deven did a wonderful job. I have the blessing written down but do not feel it is appropriate to write it for the blog. If you'd like to hear it, call me and I will read it to you. There is a lady in our ward who does short hand for her job. She jots it down, then translates it. We have received Addie and London's blessings written down. Love having them. Deven's family were able to be there. It meant the world to him to have both of his brothers attend. Afterward, we celebrated with some yummy BBQ pork and rolls and salads. Thanks to all who came and for the rest who couldn't make it but wanted to. We felt your love and support. We took some pictures later on that evening. London looked so beautiful in her dress although it was a tad too big. London was just so tiny!
Mommy and Daughter bracelets, Thanks Janet!
Mommy and London.
I love her smiles, giggles and coos!
Our beautiful Adelaide wanted some pictures taken too!
The Garner Family...Life is Great!
