Home is where your heart is.

Its sad. I never thought that i would miss being in Moses Lake,  but after being in Rexburg for a few months, home seems like a Desert Oasis.

Amber is quiet excited to go home and see our niece Kamaile,  who will be blessed this coming weekend. For me, I'm excited because my little brother Christopher is coming home from his mission in Washington DC south. I haven't seen him in almost 4 years. He was a junior in high school when i left. Wow.  

So much has changed in the years gone by. I served my mission, returned, got married, had a kid and went to school. For him, he went to school, graduated from high school and college with a 2 year degree, went to byu for a year and then went on his mission. where has the time gone?

I'm very excited to see both Kamaile and Christopher, but more importantly, I'm excited that everyone in my current family can be together. this is going to be a Hectic weekend.

oh. and this picture is for Amber. She loves this clock.

the day of LOVE

well here it is, the valentines day post (a couple days late!). i LOVE valentines day! its probably my favorite holiday!

well for the day of love spencer and i tried to catch some extra shut eye being it saturday and all...which didn't work because adyson is an early bird. she woke us up at the good ole hour of 7 am, as usual. and as usual smiling as she woke up. shes SO happy! (i don't think she got the happy morning personality trait from her mommy). well since she was way happy i decided to give her the v-day gift i got her about a month ago and the other gift she got from grandma and grandpa rodeback. so, in my fam we get gifts for pretty much EVERY holiday and i wanted to carry that on in mine. its so much fun!




adyson in the outfit from gma and gpa rodeback with her gifts for valentines day!

she got a giraffe from spencer the day before, a pink dog and a long sleeve onesie from me that says i'm gunna be a hottie and a cute outfit from gpa and gma rodeback. we also exchanged cards that morning too, which were very cute and i need to get a pic of them some time. oh....so my gift to spencer was some clothes and spencer got me some yummy chocolate. we also got new batteries for our laptops!


anyway...after we went back to bed for a little bit, we got up and went to applebees for lunch! (thanks mom and dad for the giftcard!) it was so good. later on we went and got some ice cream and rootbeer to make what else but rootbeer floats! that night we made the traditional valentines day cookies (have pics but they aren't on my comp) and watched movies! it was great! well thats the excitement of our valentines day! thanks to everyone who got us cards and gifts(thanks mom and dad, laska, and cathy and darrell)! we loved them! hope you had a wonderful valentines day!

update!

adyson with a huge stuffed animal at walmart

so its been a little bit since i've posted so heres some of whats been happening...

spencer got a scholarship!!!!! so....like almost all couple here at BYU-I or any other college....we're poor, and i've been stressing like i always do when its never needed. anyway, this just made my fears and stress go away! it helps so much and just shows how blessed we are. It just lets us know that we are not forgotten and that if you strive to live the gospel and strive to do the simple things we are asked to do like pay tithing even when money is in limited supply, blessing will come. Just have faith!

yesterday we took adyson outside for the 1st time! well ok let me clear things up. shes been outside before, but always in her carseat. yesterday it was warm enough (50 degrees!) where i wasn't paranoid to take her out. I made spencer put her in a coat, shoes, the works. She loved it. We walked to the mailbox and back. the sun was a little bright for her, but she loved looking around and seeing the outside world.I even put some snow on her hand! Ady and i went out again today to get the mail again. She loved the walk and cried when we came back in! don't worry mom, we did get a picture of her first time out, i think the people we asked to take the pic were looking at us a little weird. lol

um tonight spencer and i went and watched some moses lake friends play on a dodgeball team (yep, they have dodgeball leauge) . they didn't have enough players (well they did but they were late and one min past 7 is late and you have for forfit, very strict) anyway, the teams decided to play for fun and spencer joined in. he had a lot of fun and they might put him on the team! hes excited. yeah i know a dodgeball team??? but hey it gives us something to do. it was the first time we've gone to campus together for something! and we can actually take adyson with us! i kinda want to play too, but can't....i'm kinda not a student here anymore because its been so long...my i-card still says rodeback!

well thats about it. not too much excitement in our lives. adyson is growing before our eyes! she smiles all the time and loves to watch tv! shes cooing so much and is just starting to get a laugh. she laughs now, but theres kinda no sound, just a fake caugh. oh! spencer and i have started a workout dvd! its the 30 day shred by jillian off of biggest loser! you can loose around 20 lbs in 30 days! we started a week ago....spencer has lost about ten pounds and i've lost about 7. its hard but so worth it! its only 20 minutes but kicks your butt! thanks stephanie for the blog you posted about it! its a good dvd!

Amber

This blog is dedicated to Amber.
To speak of Amber is to speak of love. everyone who knows her knows this. she is a very loving person who trys very hard to please everyone, even knowing that it cant be done.
Her smile can melt hearts. Her laugh brings sunshine to your soul. She is a WONDERFUL mother. You should see how Adyson loves to be with her. She smiles when Amber walks into the room. She crys when she leaves it. Some nights, when Ady cant sleep, she crawls (not really) into bed with her mother and sleeps for hours on end. She loves her family. They are the most important thing in her life and she shows it. She is very dedicated in what she does, and I love her for that. I love you Amber!!!!!

rexburg....our new home!

*kinda long post, but please read on.
so we're here in rexburg! we are very excited to be here for our next adventure! we still have some unpacking to do, but the apt is mostly put together. sorry no pics yet of the apt, its still in the process of being decorated and such. um lets see......i made dinner for the FIRST time since spencer and i have been married.....yeah i know, we've been married for about a year and a month and its the 1st time.......i JUST got some dishes and pots and pans to cook in....and i'm still learning how to cook. anyway, for our first meal/new years dinner, spencer and i had yummy spaghetti! ady of course had some milk....actually she kinda was passed out on the couch for dinner. lol.
so far we've been doing great, just going around town so spencer can get to know the town and i can get to know it more. oh man....so today was an ADVENTURE.....so....we went to church today for the first time. its a great ward with lots of nice people. were in the 90th ward (HOLY CRAP)! so heres what happened.....sacrament was great, lots of amazing testimonies and lots of people our age! 3rd ward back home had one couple our age! anyway....ady was asleep in her car seat, and she looked so cute and i really wanted to take her out, but i let her sleep....then someone bore there testimony and talked about their new baby, so spencer said he wanted to hold her....needless to say she got cranky with us and spencer took her out in the hall to feed her. he never came back after that so when sacrament was over i went to find them.....i hear her crying and followed the cry to a room where spencer was sitting, he said i have her for the rest of the time at church because....she spit up, no puked up all of the milk she just drank ALL over spencer. well, after the semi clean up adyson and specner we headed to sunday school which was really great! then off to relief society/ priesthood. i took adyson because spencer kinda didn't want to get puked on again.....well.....after the song and prayer and about 2 seconds of the lesson...adyson decided she wanted to test her lungs.....it was SO loud! since being new, i had no idea where the mothers room was, so i had to ask someone, and of course everyone heard....anyway, i go to the mothers room, which is frickin HUGE! its about the size of a primary room with about 20 recliners in it! well after ady ate, i tried to go back into relief society....but right when i got back in there adyson decided that relief society just wasn't her thing.....she screamed at the top of her lungs, while exiting i mouthed a quick sorry to all the people looking at me aka the whole room. well, she finally calmed down and by that time it was the closing song, and one of my favorites, so i headed back in.....the song got over, the prayer just started to be said and.....the screaming began again......yeah, i'm pretty sure NO ONE heard the poor sister giving the prayer. well make a long story short......when adyson is sleeping.....LEAVE HER ALONE! no matter how cute she looks....LOL the end, heres some pics!



heres adyson in her new hat i had to get her. its jamba juice. it was 3 bucks! and jamba has the best smoothies!

our first meal and our cute table!
