Time is Flying

We can’t believe that November has passed us by already! It has been a very busy time for us. Thanksgiving was awesome this year. We celebrated Thanksgiving SMOOT style, which means tons of people and lots of good food. We had the Thanksgiving meal at the church’s “this is the place park.” Hailey’s grandparents Stan and Mary Ellen Smoot purchased the land and built and amazing historical building on this piece of property and gave it to the church. Well, this is where we had a huge feast and lots of good times. As we always do, we remind you to look at the pictures in our gallery, you will definetlely love the picture of Adyson dressed as a turkey.

After spending the afternoon at the “this is the place park,” we drove up to Wyoming to spend a couple days at the Smoot cabin. We love going there and can’t wait until Adyson can truly enjoy all the wonderful things up there. There are miles and miles of snowmobiling and four wheeling trails, trees and lakes galore, and we even saw two huge mooses the last time that we went up there. This Thanksgiving weekend we got the snow mobiles out and it was a great time.

You will also notice in our gallery that Adyson in now eating real food. Well I am not sure how real it is, but you do buy it at the store. It appears that Hailey has the mother’s touch when it comes to feeding her, because when I try, the food somehow ends up all over the place (Adyson that is.)

We are looking forward to Christmas this year and are going to be flying to Ohio to visit with Eric’s parents, grandpa and grandma Kandell. The Kandell grandparents are very excited because both Adyson and her cousin Easton Lovell will be staying for a whole week! Eric will be turning the BIG 30 in December can you believe it?

Disney World a Blast

We took Adyson to Disney World in October and she loved it! At least we hope she did. You will have check out the new pictures in our Gallery and decide for yourself.

We hope you are enjoying our NEW and IMPROVED website; it is MUCH FASTER!

Our trip was a ton of fun and quite the adventure. Hailey and I had the responsability to take her 2 little sisters and her younger brothers all the way to Tampa by ourselves! Oh and don’t forget Adyson was along for the treck too. Once in Tampa we rented a mini van and drove out the historic Biltmore Hotel and stayed there and visited the beach for 2 days. It was a ton of fun.

Too bad I don’t have pictues, but Hailey’s brother’s Spencer and Austin and I captured a big old JELLY FISH in a plastic bag! It was sweet. We love eating sushi every time we travel; it has become almost custom. We introduced Hailey’s brothers and sisters to the art of RAW FISH and they actually like it. Ask Austin how it tastes after spitting it out and then eating it again just because you want to prove you can.

Well after a couple of days in Tampa, Hailey’s parents, Shane and Stacy met up with us in Orlando (we drove the mini van there) at Disney World. We had a wonderful time. We stayed at the Fort Wilderness Cabins . see the cabins by clicing here.

I have not been to Disney for probably 20 yrs and I was amazed what a fun place it was. We were able to board a large boat right at our camp resort and then go across this large lagoon surrounded by Disney Parks and we could get off at any one we wanted. We rode rides, relaxed and really had a blast. Hailey and I enjoyed the Tower of Terror the most of all! The cabins we stayed in were great too. They were roomy, secluded and even came with full kitchens. We will for sure have to take Ady back when she is old enough to remember it.

Well as always come back often and enjoy our site.
Love The Kandells

Jettsetter Ady

Adyson traveled to visit Grandpa and Grandma Kandell in Ohio and had a wonderful time. We are not sure who had more fun, Adyson or her Grandparents? We have all sorts of new pictures from her Ohio trip in our gallery!

We are amazed at how wonderful it is to travel with her. She is less than 3 months old and has flown to LA and back and has also been all the way across country to ohio and she loves flying. You should see the look people give us when they see they have the unfortunate event of sitting next to a baby on the plane. It is awesome because Hailey looks right at them and says “Oh dont worry she never cries!” They are probably thinking oh ya right, but before long they are all wanting to play with her and can’t believe how good she really is.

Probably the best part about our trip to Ohio was to see Grandpa and Grandma Kandell. Grandma Kandell got to take a morning walk with Adyson and give her a warm bath in the sink! We were all amazed at how much fun Grandpa Jim had with Ady as well. I think she was fascinated with his hairy arms! Anyway she defintely loved being held by Grandpa.

She is growing so fast! She is holding her own head up very well as you can see in almost all the new pictures, she loves “tummy time” and she amazingly sleeps all the way through the night now. Oh and on the 2nd of Oct she actually rolled on her own from her stomach to her back! She did it two times in a row. I think she gets her physical abilities from her dad! Ha Ha her mom is actually in much better shape than me!

Speaking of Jetsetting, we are all flying to Florida very soon to visit Mickey Mouse! Yes that is right, we are going to Disney World. The exciting part is that Hailey and I are traveling down by ourselves with Ady and all of Hailey’s brothers and sisters. There are 4 of them going with us! Hailey’s parents will be meeeting up with us a couple days into the trip.

LOVE THE KANDELL FAMILY.
