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

4th of July fun!

We had an awesome 4th of July here in Idaho. It was our first 4th with just our family. We bought a couple of fireworks and lit them off the day before. Adyson loved it. To start the actual day off we went to the parade here in Rexburg. It was so much fun. Adyson had a blast catching candy with Spencer. Every time we drive by where we sat she says "i got candy with daddy right there!" After the parade we headed on over to Idaho Falls for the festivities there. There wasn't too much to do there so we decided to hit up the mall and the cheap theater ($5 for Spencer and I!!) We watched Adyson's new favorite movie, Rio. At the mall we went to old navy and got 2 onesies and a shirt for spencer for FREE!!! We had gotten a $10 coupon in the mail and I wanted to get a shirt. but i find that this old nave is kinda lacking so I just got the onesies because i fell in love with one of them (pic below). Also there was a buy 2 get one free thing going on so thats who everthing was free! I love when that happens!

After all of that we were very tired and it was only 3! So we headed back to Rexburg for some rest. At around 8 we headed back to Idaho Falls for the biggest fireworks show in Idaho (or thats what i've heard.) It was set to music, which i have never seen/heard before and it was pretty cool. When we got home we were jut in time to see the Rexburg show right from our window!

4th outfits! I even painted Adyson's toes red, white, and blue!

harper at the parade. notice the bow? i'm not a fan of putting things on my girls head when theres no hair or anything, but i'm kinda tired of people thinking shes a boy!

catching candy with daddy

our fireworks show!

shirt I got for free from old navy. dont like the blue but love the saying (we are HUGE shrimp fans!)

hard headed kid!

So on Saturday we had an unexpected trip to the ER!

We were all getting out of the car and Adyson decided to get out head first (arm got caught in her carseat because she wanted her ball) and landed right on the gravel road. She started bleeding so we all got back in and drove straight to the hospital!

Pictures dont really show but she had a little hole/crater in her head. Turned out she was A OK and all they did was clean the hole and send us home. She was acting a little crazy in the hospital but i think it was just all the attention she was getting. Well it was our first trip, but i dont think its going to be the last with this clumsy little girl of ours!

(keep a look out 4th of july post coming soon!)

Videos

So i know that two of these videos are on facebook, but this is my online (open) journal so I just wanted to add them on here. The third video is a bonus for all my blogger friends. Its not much, just of my beautiful girls!

And heres Adyson riding her bike she got from gma &gpa king (thanks!) We've been trying to teach her to ride since she got it over a month ago with no luck. Then, just the other day, we are walking to the mail box and she gets on and takes off. Crazy girl!

And now the last part. Last weekend, for Memorial Day(May 30th), we decided to take a drive up to a Mesa Falls about 45 min away. It was so pretty and nice up in the mountains. It was SO green and fresh! It was raining so we really didn't get to experience it too much, but it to so beautiful and we will definitely be going back, I kinda want to take a hike up there!
