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!

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!

Heres a video of Harper. Shes just starting to coo and make cute noises (and smile too!) She is such a cutie (Adyson too)!

Here is Adyson and Harper just chillin. You can certainly tell Adyson loves her little sister!

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!

i just love my girls : D

Catching up!

OK!! So blogger FINALLY let me upload some pics so time to play catch up! Lets start with the most recent!

Yesterday, June 5th, we had Harper's blessing! Spencer gave Harper a wonderful blessing! We are so greatful for the family that came! Thanks everyone for everything and for making it a great weekend!

My little family of 4!!!

Some of Spencer's family that made it!

Harper in her blessing dress that my mom made! she looked so cute! She was also blessed in a white blanket that Spencer's grandma made and that he was blessed in. My pics that i took of her in it came out bad so I am going to have get them from people and post them later.

My family

Cousins! All from my side, none from Spencer's side yet. And its only girls!

Now here are some random pictures of harper that I was trying to post last week!

first pic with my girls!

sisters! Harper looks like shes not too sure about this! lol

i just love her face in this one! lol

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!

my girls

I love my girls. Its kinda weird saying "girls" but i'm quickly getting used to it. So far everything has been going great. the family came over the past weekend to meet little Harper and everyone agrees that she looks a lot like Adyson when she was a baby. Except the fact that she has dark hair and is darker skin (i think). Harper has had a touch of jaundice, but for the most part she does look darker then Adyson. I've been afraid to say this...so not jinx myself, but Harper is such a great sleeper at night!!! Only wakes up at 4 or 5 AM to eat and thats it until about 9-9:30. WAY awesome. Great now i'll be up every hour now that I've said something! Adyson is in love with Harper and is always wanting to hug or kiss her. She is a little rough with her, so we just have to keep telling her to be soft. For some weird reason she loves to pet her head and pat it. Its funny, when Harper starts crying. Adyson will come find us and say "Harper wants you!!" Adyson hasn't really gotten too jealous, and i'm trying to show her that i'm still here and love her, its just i have to take care of Harper. Shes understanding so far!

Well thats about it. Just getting in the swing of being a mom of 2! Things are going great and i hope they stay that way!

WE ARE HOME!

Well we are finally home and i can finally update some more! I actually ended up coming home on monday night and went back for feedings. Well Harper ended up being on the SiPAP saturday, sunday and monday morning and was taken off and just given oxygen. later on monday she decided to take off her oxygen supply herself and proved she could do it. The only thing left that was keeping her in the hospital was the IV she was on, and (luckily?) it went bad so they had to take it out this morning. They were going to have her stay until Wednesday or Thursday but after seeing how well she is doing they gave the go ahead and she came home at about 4 today! she is such a good little baby and adyson is already wanting to hold her ALL the time. we are so excited to be a whole family of FOUR! here are some pics of Harper in the hospital and at home. (more pics on my facebook)
