My little poser!

Odessa being cute as ever!

Addison's Eating for the first time!

Last night we fed Addison rice cereal for the first time!

It was fun to watch him "TRY" something new. He had about three spoonfuls then he was done!

We will try again tonight!

Bumbos and Mosquitoes!

Odessa has become obsessed with mosquitoes of late. Every time she has an itch, she thinks she has been bitten by a mosquito. She has even been looking for mosquito bites on Adam and I. In the picture she is trying to look for mosquitoes in Adams hair.....AND she is using chopsticks to do the job...she was pretty disappointed when she didn't find any!

Addison is now sitting in his Bumbo seat. We got this as a gift, and I have heard how great it is.....he seems to like it!

Family Vacation

In our busy summer we found time to take a family trip up to Brookings Oregon. Brookings is a quaint little town, that is located on the Pacific Coast. It was quite the change from Utah....I don't think the temps reached higher then 65 degrees! It was cool and foggy! I loved it. We were able to stay at a place called Rainbow Rock with Adam's parents...we explored the beach, and found an amazing cave that was full of crazy rocks and colors! Odessa was able to explore some tide pools and bring home some interesting treasures. It was a VERY long drive- with a newborn, we had to stop a lot more, and the stops seem to be quite a bit longer too. Odessa traveled well....she watched a lot of movies and played with her barbies the whole way.
We were also able to visit the Redwood National Forest, and drive along the California coast....and visit a few light houses.
It was a fun trip, but we are glad to be back home in Cedar City.

Busy Saturday!

OUR ACCOMPLISHEMENTS FOR THE DAY:

JENNY- MOWED LAWN (believe me this is quite a task. Our grass was over a foot long...it was the first time mowing it since we got in the sod. I have not mowed a lawn in a VERY long time...so I was proud of my accomplisment, despite the 12 bags full of grass, sore arms and legs (we have a push mower), stinky body and green hands.)

JENNY AGAIN- SHOPPING AT HOME DEPOT/WALMART- I bought a bunch of "things" for our lawn/garden with the kids in tow....(edger, hose, mulch, extension cord, flowers,..blah blah blah)

JENNY AGAIN-PLANTED FLOWERS!-

ADAM- PUT TOGETHER A SWING SET- Adam put together Odessa and Addison's first swing set. For for hours Adam labored and sweated and cussed his way through the endless directions. The result was worth it though!

ODESSA- PLAYED on her new swing set

ADDISON- POOPED!!! (he didn't yesterday)

Addison's blessing!

I forgot to post pictures of Addison's blessing on May 2, 2009....well okay I didn't forget to post them, I just didn't because I did not have this blog started at the time.

Here are few pictures from that day.

Sunday

Last night I mentioned to Adam that I was excited to go to church at our own ward.....but at 2:00 am....Odessa got sick and I was stuck home with the kids today! The poor little girl threw up about five times, and is just miserable...she is now holding down sprite!(YEAH!)

Addison has been fussy today, which makes me think he is coming down with something too! :( My poor kids!

Adam is gone for the week....traveling for another volleyball camp in Green River WY.

I am not looking forward to having him gone, but I AM looking forward to having a bed all to myself and total control of the remote!
