Utah State Fair

Deep fried Oreos covered in powdered sugar, cows, sheep, bunny rabbits, and a giant yellow slide!

A Bad Case of the Gimmie Gimmies

With Independence comes Frustration
"The desire to explore the unknown can give you a major headache," says Sarah Hilton, mother of 15 month old Adeline Mae Sparks, "It's thrilling to be a part of someones new found freedom, but the none-stop whining can take its toll."

Yes, Siree I'm walking!

A place to think

Sometime you need a place to think.
Addie Mae has taken to hanging out in the cupboard we keep our pots and pans in; it reminds me of the little brother in "Christmas Story".

Zoo Redemption

We made another trip to the Zoo today and I am glad to say it was much better than the last time. The animals for the most part were awake and we even caught the bird show which is really cool, a hawk flew right over the top of Shaun's head. WOW!

The Speedy Turtle

Shaun and I have taken the week off of work and we are trying to do something fun with Addie every day. Monday we took her to Liberty park and after feeding the geese we put our fears aside and let her ride the attractions. They may have been a little dated ( I think I have seen a photo of my father in the Speedy Turtle circa 1956) but it runs like a champ and Addie had the best time!

4th of Julys

Addie Mae on her first 4th.

This year Addie brought more intensity to the holiday.
My sweet little girl did not enjoy the fire works. The screaming crackle was a bit to much for her.
