Adelaide's First Easter Egg Hunt

First Easter Basket.

Adelaide with Aunt Aubren...

...and Cousin Courtney.

Tyler and Collin dying eggs with Kool Aid!

Kevin decided to "help" Tyler put his birthday gift together.

You'll be seeing Adelaide in the 2024 Summer Olympics for...you guessed it...shot put!

"I feel like it's right under my nose!"

The Hunt....well part of it anyway.

Adelaide in the Snow!

We didn't get much snow this winter. These pictures were taken in March on one of the handful of days that the snow stuck for a little while. So, we took Adelaide out to rome around in it and she was delighted!

Dress & Reading

So, our little Adelaide is REALLY into books right now. She can't get enough! As soon as you finish reading one she jumps off your lap to grab another one all the while saying, "Book, book!"

This is the only photo we took of the Valentine's Day dress I made for her. People said she looked like Minnie Mouse (what can I say...it was the only fabric piece big enough that I had on hand to make a dress with)!

Family Pictures by Nate Edwards

These Pictures were taken by Nate Edwards in November.

This suitcase belonged to Adelaide's Great Grandma (my father's mother). She was a nurse in World War 2 in the South Pacific.

This chair also belonged to Adelaide's Great Grandma.

This was taken in front of a pond a few blocks from our home.

She may look like me but she's built nice and tall and solid like Kev. :)

This is on the south side of our house in front of Utah Lake.

Our first home.

Kevin is Adelaide's favorite parent . . . and person, for that matter. I love it!

Place your bets!

So, Kevin has a journal that his mom kept for him during her pregnancy and the first year of his life. We have been keeping one for Adelaide as well. In that journal there is a list of "guesses" from friends and family. We were hoping to create a list for Adelaide as well. As you know, I am due tomorrow (Oct. 7) but who knows when the little lady will make her debut. We would love for each of you to share your guess of:

• Birthday

• Time of day (of birth)

• Weight

• Length

• Hair/no hair

For your information....Kevin was 10 lbs 15 oz. and had no hair. I was 7 lbs 8 oz. and also had no hair. We will be sending a prize to the closest guesser (Kevin said he will come up with a "point system"). Don't worry, Kevin and I are not allowed to win but since we both thought she was a boy then you probably wouldn't have anything to worry about anyway!

Guess soon or you may be too late!

My guess: 10/11/10, morning, 8 lbs. 1 ounce, 20 inches, no hair

Kevin's guess: 10/10/10, nighttime, 8 lbs, 9 oz., 20.5 inches, no hair

UPDATE: Kevin's point system is as follows: For each category, the person closest to the right answer gets 5 points, next gets 3, third gets 1.

For hair or no hair, a correct answer gets you 3 points.

Thanksgiving Point Photos

Finally, right?

So, Rachel and I have been asked a lot recently by other married couples, "Hey, do you guys have a blog?" I feel pretty lame saying, "No, just my art blog." So, thus begins the official blog of Rachel and Kevin Walton (as opposed to the unofficial ones).

We'll try and keep this as updated as we can!
