catching up/ NEWS

first off we went to the madison county fair last week. so.....all of you Grant County Fair lovers, this is NOT the fair for you!!! it was one of the smallest fairs i have been to...EVER.....and i've been to the one in othello....anyway, it was a very modest fair, it had a couple dessert booths and a couple of groups selling hotdogs and hamburgers, but thats about it. oh there were some rides there too. the best part about the fair was that it was FREE!! oh and the other best part.... adyson got her very first face painting! she sat so still! it even has glitter on it!

and she pet her very first fair animal, a cute little donkey!

well thats about all we have done and i guess i cant drag this out any longer i bet everyone is wondering our news......well......we are moving back home to moses lake!!! sort of.... we are subletting our apt out to a nice couple from provo from sept to dec. were leaving all of our stuff here and just "moving" back for the fall semester. spencer is off track and his job with the school will be ending soon. Darrell (spencers dad) owns the Sears store in moscow id and spencer will be working there, while adyson and i live with my parents. we are so excited to be home for all holidays and not have to drive home for all of them. and adyson and i get to celebrate our birthdays with everyone! it will be adysons 1st bday!! we just made the deal with the couple a day or two ago and nextweekend we will be moving back to moses lake. one week to get everything packed and ready to go for the new couple! the day is set for aug 29th! they will be using our dishes, couches, bed and such, we're just moving all of our important stuff into adysons room. we are every excited to be saving money (550 a month for rent!) and earning money at the same time, and to be with family! kinda nervous, but very excited!

reunion!

so i dont have the greatest pics, my mom is waiting to get pics from everyone and then is going to send me a cd later, so i'll post better ones later.

well this past week (6th,7th,8th) was the Rodeback Reunion in Longview, Wa!! SOOOOO much fun! the first night we just kinda hung out, has great food, a little karaoke, tye dyed some shirts and had a pinata(earlier that day a couple of my cousins and i decorated the pinata)! the next day we had brunch at the church (well we had to, theres a LOT of us) and after that we ate we headed to raineer to play in the pool!!! towards the end of the time we all got together and put those foam mats all in a row and had people run accross and try and make a basket in a hoop they had! so much fun, i'm not a big fan of swimming but it was so fun! even my grandparents got in! my grandma had a cute swimsuit on! (i love my grandparents!) the last day (saturday) we headed to the beach! kinda cold, but fun, besides adyson freaking out and not wanting to sleep even though she was way tired! but my uncle shawn took her for a ride on the beach and she fell right to sleep in his arms. hes a lifesaver! anyway, we had a good fried chicken lunch and took a family pic on the beach in our tye dye....my fams shirts kinda turned all pink. lol but it was fun!

thats the high lights of the reunion! so much more happened and so much fun with all the family! i love them all and we SO dont get together as much as we should!

kalei hitting the pinata

i miss adydson being little..........

she was so small

and quiet

and innocent

i miss it, but i wouldnt change it : )

mellow week

so nothing much has happened since the 4th, so i thought i would add a cute random video i took of adyson a little bit ago.

this week as been very mellow, besides the sickness that hit us in the begining of the week and is lingering.

adyson now has two yeah thats right TWO TEETH! they are both her bottom front teeth. one is sticking out a little bit more then the other and sometimes when she smiles you can see a little white thing sticking out. she is getting better at rolling and is working really hard to crawl. she pretty much army crawls right now, but i know that she'll be on the move soon. she turned 8 months on the 10th and that just means that a year is just around the corner. i need to start decided on what her party is going to be! i think our b-days are going to be combined this year....heck probably from now on it'll always be about her and then me in the back ground, thats ok, i'm getting old and dont want to think about it! LOL

spencer is doing well in school and is REALLY happy that the semester will be over in 2 weeks! he is still working for the school every day from about 1 until 5. when school gets out, he will have the job for another 7 weeks until fall semester starts. he'll work from 8 til 5. its going to be so great to have money again!

me... i'm just the stay at home mommy. i've decided that i need to lose this baby weight i've had for soooooooo long! i love to shop but at the same time, its pointless when i dont feel great in the clothes. i just got some running shoes yesterday and i really want to start running, even though i'm not to excited about the whole running thing, since everyone that runs here is stick thin and runs marathons every other weekend! but hopefully i can get close to looking like them...maybe. my goal for now is 25 lbs but i needed some motivation so spencer said that if i lose that much he will take me to hawaii next year, which we are already trying to work for, but being a college family, it isnt really working out, but he said he would do anything, and so thats my goal! lose the weight to sun bathe in hawaii!!!! (lol, i am also working on saving money too)

happy 4th everyone!

miss 4th of july!

adyson and her cousin kamaile

well happy 4th everyone. sorry its been a little while since my last post. so for the 4 day holiday weekend spencer and i decided to head home. everyone was starting to get sick here in moses lake so i was very iffy on if we should come or not. well after about 4 hours of debating, i said yes and we came. its been so much fun and VERY relaxing.

well lets get back to the sick part....so when we got here my bro and dad were sick with the pukes. (yeah nasty) anyway, they are told to not get near me or adyson and i used the antibacterial stuff like it was going out of style. anyway, everyone was doing great at being ok and my dad and bro were getting better. well last night kalei got it.....and now today on this day of celebration....spencer has it. i feel so bad for him and well, im kinda awaiting my turn....DAH! we are supposed to leave tomorrow but i really dont want spencer to travel. he needs to just rest! but he really needs to get back to school....what to do what to do. if i get sick, i am so staying here.

ANYWAY.....today was great up until spencer got sick (poor guy! i love you feel better) we had a bbq with my parents and later on we also had one with spencers parents, both stocked with great food and good company. well we came back to my parents to watch the fireworks and while spencer was taking refuge on the couch and bathroom, the rest of the fam was watching the great moses lake show. adyson LOVED the first half of her very first fouth of july! she feel asleep a little bit after it started but she loved it while she lasted. anyway thats my fourth filled fun and pukie people. hope it doesnt get to me and hope everyone feels better!

no jet plane for me....

so.....i'm not flying home..... let me explain

spencer and i headed to idaho falls right after he got out of school so i could make it to the airport. we were early so we went to the cafe and had lunch. my bag and adysons carseat was already checked in so we all just spent some time together before i had to go through security and head to the gate. security went really smoothly and waiting was kinda ok with adyson. she was a little cranky but right before we boarded she fell right to sleep! i was so excited and knew take off would be a breeze.........

so everyone is on the plane, i'm sitting next to this really nice chick, the engines are running, we go through the whole seatbelt, crash info stuff, then.....everything shuts off. one big sigh come from everyone, adyson wakes up and the captin comes on the speaker saying theres a problem with one of the engines and we all have to get off with all of our stuff.....ok i have a back pack, a diaper bag and a baby...no so easy, i only have 2 hands!

well we get off...and by this time its 3:20...already an hour later then we were supposed to be going....well we wait for a while (like 30 min or something) and i am so worried about my connecting flight from seattle to spokane but they said it would all be taken care of. well they announce on the speakers that its fixed and ready to be boarded. i am so happy to hear that! i just want to be on my way, and get adyson somewhere because she is being a pain and screaming at everything, happy screams and crabby screams. well i show my ticket to the lady and head down the hall to the plane....well a guy comes out of the plane and tells us to turn around, theres more stuff to be worked on. by this time i want to just sit down and cry......well a little bit later as i'm sitting there trying to make adyson calm and happy they say that the flight is totally cancelled and i need to wait in line or call and book a new flight. well after being frustrated, tired, cranky, trying to call everyone to tell them the news, without thinking i told them to just refund my ticket. i could have gotten a flight the next day, for the same price i paid, but after going through that, i wanted to break down. i should have booked another flight! but oh well. its over and done with....i hate flying!!!
