Fun to reminisce..

maybe Logan was 7m?

Emma & Boots

Emma loves her boots! 1st she had a pair from Walmart(didn't expect to find them there!) but she was little then, so its not like she knew what she was wearing then, but then grandma bought her a pair of boots that she loves. Then the other day while we were looking for new shoes for her, she found, all on her own, a pair of pink boots with glitter on them! And they were at Walmart again..So totally surprised & at a cheap price. Woohoo! Makes momma happy to find a good deal. I always thought it would be cute for my kids to have cowboy boots. Well cowgirl boots for this girlie girl. But they are so expensive.

So I am coming to find out that Emma loves boots. She wears them in the house pretty much all day. While she is playing, in her diaper, wherever. She loves shoes in general. Shes our girlie girl who loves all things girl but also loves to get outside to play in the dirt & have fun. She's pretty tough. Dont mess with our Emma. 

So as I caught this picture as I came to follow her out the other day to see our next door neighbors horse again. I had the thought pass..We just might have a rodeo girl on our hands..we may need to do some horse back riding lessons in the future..

Adi's 1st baby food

Here's Adi's reaction to squash. Her reaction wasn't as bad I thought it would be. 

Adi is 6 months!

 Adi weighed in today at a whopping 19# 11oz. 26.5 in. long which puts her in the 90% for weight & 80% for height. She's been at those percentiles since she was about 2 months old! She is my biggest baby & fastest growing. I just put away her 6-9m:( & she fits comfortably in 12-18 m. craziness... She has some chunky thighs. We actually tried some "skinny" stretchy jeans on her & they were too tight & made her legs go purple! 

Adi is the happiest baby you will ever meet. She is a very chill baby & really only gets upset if she hurts herself(thats a given), is hungry, just wants to be held. She's usually pretty sensitive to a messy diaper too.  She just doesn't get fussy very often. And now that she is crawling & everywhere she entertains herself really good, in spurts. She has been getting up more at night lately but oh well she still falls back asleep easy so I'll take it. 

Adi loves when her big brother & sister play with her. They love to make her laugh & they can get her to laugh more than we can. It is so fun to see them all interact & play together. Its priceless! 

So far Adi has really light hair & her eyes are still a deep blue but its got a grayish tone to it so sometimes her eyes look brown..maybe they will change colors with what she is wearing?its also been fun to get adi to laugh several times. She is such a happy baby!

 

Emmas 2nd Bday!

Emma turned 2! It seemed like yesterday that she was born! We just love her! Emma is one determined little girl. She likes to do things all by herself. She is a big girl. She likes to figure out how to do it first before asking for help which really is a good attribute since she is learning to be independent now. She laughs a lot & loves to do silly things. She is a natural nurturer & likes to play with her dolls & help change Adi's bum already. Hey gotta learn someday so why not now! She does get a little jealous of Adi now sometimes but she also loves to play with her. I think the name firecracker still suits her well..

This year we did her bday outside at the park for fun since she does get nice weather. I think she had fun with family & lots of presents! She had fun blowing out her candle & opening her presents then playing with all her toys outside. Plus she got to end it with playing at the park till past dark & past bedtime..We hope she had fun & we just love her spunk!

Emma did this hairstyle all herself. She is quite the girly girl. She loves bracelets, necklaces & lip stuff(sometimes she has taken her lip stuff to bed) but she still loves to play in dirt too!

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.
