Madison County Fair

The fair in Rexburg was even more fun this year! It was the 100th yr centennial celebration so they brought in bigger, better rides! So last minute we went with grandma Heidi & had a blast. Between the yummy fair food, & the kids loving the rides it was a blast. It was funny because Emma & Logan liked different rides. So there were only a few they both liked until we convince Logan to go on the other ones besides the big truck one. Plus Thursday night was family night so every ride was only 1 ticket. Woohoo! Love good deals!

Family pictures 2013

Family pictures turned out good this year again! Thanks again to my amazing sista Aubrey Buttars. Emma was the star of the show. She loved posing. It was so cute! Logan was not wanting anything to do with pictures. But hey we got a great smile at the very end! So fun to see the changes each yr.

 Logan will be 4 in Dec. He loves to learn, he is always wanting to watch videos about lightning, storm chasers, a video about how to cut down a tree safely. Anything informational he actual will sit down and watch a lot. He is a very caring big brother & Adi loves talking to him. He is very sensitive to her needs. Emma & Logan play great together, they have there moments but they are so cute. Logan loves to talk about many things & will talk your face off right when he wakes up. He also is going to be a pilot when he turns 4. Thats what he tells us on a regular basis..

Emma just turned 2 on Thursday. She has a big, bubbly personality. She loves to laugh. She loves to play in the dirt & get outside yet as time goes by she definetaly a girlie girl. So a good mixture. She loves bracelets, doing her own hair(not mommy doing it..), lip stuff(she usually goes to sleep with hers). She takes care of her baby dolls & had already helped me change Adi's diapers. Well just 2 but hey she asked so good prep for her! Emma def will tell you whats up though. You don't put her shoes on she will do it. Sometimes I can get her dressed but ask first because if not you will get a huge fit. But with her detemination & independence she will go far.

Adeline is 4 months old now. She is the cutest, chubby baby ever! She is my fastest growing baby! She is in 6-9 month clothes already & size 4 diaper! Whoa slow down! She is rolling like crazy already. And trying to crawl. bum in the air getting on the knees & trying to pump forward. She can scoot backwards so she is moving everywhere! Can't leave any small stuff around her anymore. Everything enters mouth. & she must be teething cuz she drools like crazy & loves to gnaw on fingers. Adi has a smile that will brighten up your day. Her whole face scrunches up like it has no more room to go. She actually just waved yesterday at Emmas bday. So adorable!

Jesse is working at Pure Clean doing carpet cleaning. He is great at what he does & does a variety of things from cleaning, to running fliers, to answering calls. He would love one day to own his own business especially building stuff like woodwork. Jesse is an amazing father & loves coming home to playing right away with the kiddos especially since they tackle him right he gets home & talk his face off. 

Candice is a homemaker, taking care of her kiddos. She loves playing with her kiddos & trying to keep a house clean with 3 busy kiddos. She just got called to play piano in Relief Society for church which was super exciting because she had stopped practicing & it was a great way to make her practice & brought back that love of piano. She loves to read when she gets a chance to relax. 

Our little family is growing & we are so blessed. 5 years & 3 kiddos later life is good.

Adi is 4 months!

Time has flown by so fast! Adi weighs 16 lbs 3 oz & is 25 1/2 in. She is my fastest growing baby!! She is in 6-9 month clothes & in size 4 diapers! Whoa girlie slow down! 

Adi is rolling like crazy. Suprisingly she likes tummy time. She will play like that for awhile before she's done. She is trying to kick off her feet & is pushing her bum in the air. She has already pushed herself backwards.  She is really wanting to move! Probably because she loves watching her siblings & being involved in what everyone else is doing. She talks so cute & a few times we have been able to get her to laugh.  She has the cutest chunky thighs! So chunky we cant put her in the Bumbo anymore.

Looks like her eyes are staying a darker blue like daddys. & she loves her daddy! Whenever he is talking her face just lights up even if he is not talking to her. She loves when big brother Logan talks & plays with her. He is an awesome big brother & great at helping Mommy.

Adi loves her big sister, Emma too & will smile & talk to her even though Emma has been a little jealous lately. Logan & Emma are so good with helping Mommy with Adi. Emma even likes to help change her diaper.(good to learn now:)

So many times Adi has a serious look on her face & you wonder what she is thinking. 

We love little miss Adi & her bright smiling face!

Camping!

It was so fun to take the kids camping for just an overnighter. I didn't really get many pictures but we had so much I really didn't need to get every pic.. We found  a great spot close to home, just in case we needed to go home. It was shaded really great with lots of trees. The kids loved there "little home" & were playing so well together. There was a great path to walk on. The river was right across the road so we played in that Friday night & Sat morning. Most of it was so shallow it would barely cover your feet so it was perfect to play in & walk across in. Grandma came Friday night to eat dinner & roast smores with us. Logan's face was dirty within minutes of being there & I loved it. He was so excited to be out & playing. Thats camping. Campfire, smores, tent, getting dirty, water, discovering bugs, plants, hot dogs, a megasteak Greg gave us:), smacking mosquitos, Emma running from bees, Emma's big fit over wanting to sleep with her water bottle:) a big fit & 30 min later we finally got her calm to go to bed. Plus we randomly saw guys dressed in medieval gear! maybe one of those LARP:) So there are the joys of camping & getting out in nature!
