As most of you heard over Christmas, the most repeated, loudest, actual word that comes out of Ady's mouth, besides no, is "bye" It is really cute. Lately she is quite obstinate that she has to say "bye" to her dad whenever he leaves. The other day Adam left to go play ball with the guys without saying bye and Ady threw a fit crying and banging on the door. Finally I let her out and ran with her to the end of the building where she could see Adam was walking away with the guys and yells at the top of her lungs, "BYE." Adam turned around and then she waved. After that she was all content to go back home. Even the guys thought that was pretty cute.
The other exciting news is that Ady is 7 for 7. Nope, not basketball. We are talking about going potty on the toilet. It's just in the morning right now, but she wakes up and throws the binki's in the crib and then goes potty. She likes to read her books on the seat too now. As long as she keeps going on the toilet, I'm happy no matter what she is doing. It seems like it's gonna be an easy one for potty training. Lets hope it goes this well in the future. And I'm gonna attribute this too, as a reward for having had such a bad pregnancy.
The pics are of Ady and her cousin Carissa with Grandma on Christmas Eve. Happy Grandma! We had a great trip and were very happy and blessed to be able to see the families. Thanks for everyone's hospitality. The next picture is of Ady playing with her Christmas Present. Adam and I did a really good job picking this one out. The first time she played with the train set she sat and played for a good 2 hours-nothing else. That is amazing attention span for a 20 month old.
One other note: It is officially past BYUH's add/drop deadline, so we decided to stay to the original plan and have Adam graduate in December. It gives us a little more time to figure some things out, and lets Adam take a couple more entrepreneurial classes. That also means that for any of you that were still wanting to come to HI...better start making plans and book the "Van Tassell Open-Door Hotel". (we mean that literally too--the second bedroom doesn't have a door--but it comes free with just a few hours of babysitting!) Airplane tickets are under $500.00 Round trip from Utah now. Hurry fast while gas prices are still low! We love visitors!

I would love to come visit, but I'm not about to get on an airplane! Chicken!
You are lucky with the potty training! I'm jealous!!! My 20 month old has no clue or interest in the toilet other than throwing toys into it! Besides Boys are slower! I hope Ady keeps it up for you!

o goody! you can count on the little gipper and i to come for sure....we will have plenty of time to kill next fall!
I did love Ady's 'Bye'
I like the family picture, but wish I could have done your makeup!
I like that you're staying longer so it gives us time to save, we'll see if we can make it sometime.
Mel, my wife doesn't need any makeup, and I don't need to deal with makeup in my bathroom, or have to wait for her to put it on. So don't try to sell the makeup thing on my blog.
