Twas the weeks before christmas

Before Christmas gets here....I wanted to post about what we did leading up to it!

took pics in front of the decorations in one of 2 set of Christmas pjs. we'll get the other ones tomorrow from gma and gpa king!

my mom cross stitches every person a stocking and i love the girls'

we picked out a tree

and decorated it with uncle tristan

we decorated gingerbread houses with the kings

for my Christmas present we went and painted our own pottery.

And we made goodies!

Merry Christmas everyone! Have a wonderful and safe holiday and don't forget the true meaning of Christmas. I am truly grateful Christmas in on Sunday this year so we can all hear about the Savior's birth and remember that Christmas isn't just about toys and clothes but about Him.

4th Anniversary!

Happy Anniversary to us!!! Spencer and I have been married for four whole years

we look so young!

Spencer went and bought flowers before he went to work and hid them in the house. when i talked to him later he had me walk around to find them! He told me he jokingly/seriously didn't want flowers, so i made him a "bouquet" made out of his favorite candy and some jerky. he he he. i thought it was cute!

Couldn't imagine my life without you! I love you Spencer!

Thanksgiving 2011

Good food, Family and fun...... That pretty much sums it up!

This Thanksgiving was so relaxed since past ones! no running around all over the place to make it to everyone. It was spaced out PERFECT! Maybe we can have the same times next year????? Well, Thanksgiving was just like every other one, besides it being Harpers first Thanksgiving so she had some baby food... sweet potatoes!

now we are in christmas mode! lights are going up, tree is going to get picked out this week, decorations are up, gifts shopping almost done, and christmas cards are made and ready to be sent out! If you want one, let me know your address! (either on here or facebook message me!)

Busy November!

And its only half over!

Well we started off the month with my birthday. I turned 24 on the 1st! I got two cakes too! Spencer made me a red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting, YUM and we had a little fam get together at our place the Sunday before.

On my bday i did the traditional make(or go out to eat) dinner with my parents. Hawaiian Haystacks, SO GOOD. They made me a white cake with strawberry jam/gel stuff in the middle with strawberry flavored coolwhip on top. SO good too. (man i hade some good cakes!) I also got some great gifts so thanks everyone!

On Nov 7th Harper turned 6 months old! CRAZY! I have such a cutie on my hands!

And to add to the mommy panic attack (or whatever its called), my big girl (she hates to be called baby) turned 3 on Nov 10th!!!!

On her bday we gave her just a little cake and one gift and she had a sleepover with the cousins! they watched a movie had some popcorn, and stayed up late. wait that was adyson, the other two fell asleep! One fell asleep right when the movie started and the other a little after! LOL its ok though she had fun with them before the movie! Thanks for coming!

And yesterday (the 12) Adyson had her Rio (the movie) themed bday party at the hotel!

I think every year we up the decorations!

Pumpkin Patch and Carving party

TRADITION!!!

(imagine the fiddler on the roof...lol)

Oct 22--- Like every year, we went to the Country Mercantile (on the way to tri cities) and picked out pumpkins! it was harpers first time! We did the usual hunt for the punpkins, pet the animals rode some rides, and ate all the free samples they had!

Adyson had her first pony ride! She LOVED it! We also went on the big blow up obstacle course they had (pic to be added later!)

Oct 27--- And of course he had the annual Bruce-Rodeback-King carving party!

(sorry kinda fuzzy)

I attemped to do wilson from castaway, Adyson wanted a butterfly, Harper got a one toothed jack-o-lantern and spencer did Chewbacca from star wars

When my sis told me that Kamaile was going to be Batman, I knew what Adyson was going to be! Robin! (she runs around the house now saying robin to the rescue!)

I decided to be green lantern, spencer was the incredible hulk, harper was the flash and adyson was robin

not the best pic, but they looked so cute!

Well we cant wait to go trick or treating! happy halloween everyone!

We're ready!

we are super excited for october to be here! cant you tell?

Well, lets catch up on what the girls have been up to...

Harper is rolling like crazy, talking like mad, and is working on sitting up for more then a few seconds. shes started eating rice cereal (like 2x a week)and loves it. Um...I'm trying to teach her to give kisses and shes actually getting it. They may be sloppy, and you may be covered in a slobber after, but they are so cute and worth it! She is becoming so much better with her hand/eye coordination and actually picks things up! Harper is also close to crawling. she scoots/army crawls a little bit and gets up on her knees all the time. Harper is one of the easiest babies ever. no joke!

Adyson is our little sweatheart and diva all rolled into one. she started dance last month and loves every minute of it. She LOVES to dance. She always asks to turn to channel 3 (the radio station channel with the ads slideshow) and dance. She is still in love with the movie Rio (good movie) and sings the songs (great music!) all the time. She amazes me everyday with the things she remembers....the words to songs, things I've taught her like her birth day, and to share.... if we have some treat or something she wants she says, "remember we need to share." Her favorite color is blue still(yes!). She loves Harper a lot and I always catch her laying down with her and trying to roll her over to her to cuddle. The other day I went into their room and found that Adyson had pushed a big Rubbermaid bin up to Harper's crib, climbed in, and was in there cuddling with her. they are the best and most beautiful girls I could ever ask for!

Spencer and I are doing to same old thing. He was hired on at the newspaper, and we'll i'm just being the stay at home mom! things are going great and this month is going to be busy!!!! Pumpkin patch, carving party, and trick or treating...and lets not forget getting the fall/winter clothes out! I LOVE fall just for the fact that I can wear my fav types of clothes! love this time of the year!!!

Fair 2011

Well i better start catching up the blog....

Fair week (august 16-20) was fun! Spencer and i entered pictures this year and both of us got 1st prize. Adyson had fun petting all the animals and having some space burgers! YUM! Adyson also was in her very first play! SO CUTE! So we were walking around and a lady dressed as a cowgirl was walking around looking for kids to be in her wild west show. she came up to adyson and asked her. she shyly said yes. the lady asked if she knew what a cow said and of course she did because grandma rodeback has TONS of cows at her house! so the lady (wild jill hiccup) took adyson and dressed her as a cow for the Cutest Show on Earth kids dress up. There were cute mini stories other kids did and then it was adysons turn. Two girls got up and sang old mcdonald and then adyson said moo on her parts (with a little help) She did so well infront of people and she was SO cute! Apparently everyone else did too because she made the front page of the news paper! she actually had TWO pictures in it! and also that same paper, spencer was in it too for broadcasting the babe ruth world series! Anyway, it was tons of fun at the fair this year! I love going to it!

Also this same week spencers mom Cathy had her 50th birthday. we spent lots of time with family and friends. I actually met some of the family for the first time. It was so much fun! we had family pictures too, and once those are done i will post some. It was a fun week! And an awesome one too! Cathy was actually sealed to her parents! AWESOME! congrats!

also this same week harper learned to roll over!!! now she is a rolling machine!

i know, i know,

yeah yeah its been a little bit since i last blogged. i've gotta get working on that! right now we are currently in washington (again) for the off track and i dont have my computer set up to use yet, so i have to borrow my moms. we are currently living with them and then in sept we will be moving into an apartment until december.

anyway lets see what have we been up to...july 27th-31st we went to Longview for the Rodeback Reunion! (i'll just post a few pictures, check out my facebook to see the rest, too many good ones to choose from!) we played a lot of games, we had our own minute to win it, the day before it started my parents, sis, spencer and my grandpa went to the Ape caves and had a lot of fun. one of they days we went to the park and played a little softball (so excited for this but unfortunately i have discovered that if you dont play for over 3 years, you kinda suck! lol but i loved it anyway) i also was able to see one of my best friends! we've been friends since birth! no joke! and we went to one of the best breakfast places ever, stuffys 2. if you ever go, get "the stuff"!

Currenty spencer is finishing up his internship he has with the columbia basin herald. for the most part he says he likes it.Hes really busy with the babe ruth baseball championship in ephrata right now and next week he has the fair and rodeo to deal with. SUPER busy but at least hes getting his internship over with!spencer at the ape caves!

I'm just trying to survive my kids! lol. thats about all i'm ever doing is taking care of my family, which i love! i love being a mommy and wife! i'm trying to get back on track of the diet i was on before, but it is so hard with kids! i'm going to try it (again) today! wish we luck!
Adyson is getting REpotty trained. let me explain. for a while she was telling us every time she had to go and she would go on the potty, but 2 weeks before we moved back to washington, she decided she was too good for the toilet and reverted back. now shes back on track with a little miss hap every once in a while. Besides the potty training, she is getting very smart! she surprises me every day with how much she know! its crazy how much a kid picks up just from watching people (good and bad!) we are going to start her in a dance class soon, and she is VERY excited! (me too!) Her favorite thing right now is the movie rio. if anyone has extra rio toys from mcdonalds that you dont want, she will love you forever!(for some reason they dont make actual toys!) Harper is growing fast and is so stinkin cute if i do say so myself (and adyson too!) Harper is cooing and smiling like crazy and we're still working on rolling. She is 3 months old and about 11 lbs. she doesn't have a check up this month so dont know the exact measurements. She loves to smile and just watch the happenings around her. She is an awesome baby. hardly cries (unless gassy...then watch out!) She sleeps through the night and has since being born. AMAZING!!!!!!

well thats about all for now. next week is the fair and we are super pumped! i love the fair! and its spencers moms 50th birthday party so lots of family coming in to town!
my fair pic i'm entering this year....i think its blue ribbon worthy! its of the flowers my grandma is growing this year.

PS 4 years ago today spencer and i started dating. lol. i know some of you are like "who remembers that!?" i happen to remember it and it was one of the best days of my life. thanks jill and anne for having people over to watch a movie at your house!!! LOL
