Opening Game

Today is the opening football game for BYU. I didn't even have to tell Emma, this is what she put on all by herself this morning. I'm a proud mama. Jacob apparently takes after his dad...

 

1st Day of Kindergarten!

 

Emma started kindergarten today, she was so excited! And Kaylie insisted on posing for the picture as well with her own backpack.

 

 

I'm excited we live close enough to walk. I'm finally being forced to get some exercise! It was way hot though, even at 9 am.

Gotta love Emma's camera smile. After I left Emma on the playground and got back to the kids in the stroller, Kaylie was crying her eyes out, either because we were leaving Emma or because she couldn't go with her, or both.

 

Lining up with her class, you can sort of see her in the middle of the line (look for the green skirt). Her teacher is Miss Johnson, we met her last week for Emma's pre-assessment. Emma warmed right up to her, answered all her questions, and had fun chatting with her.

 

 One more funny smile 

 

 

And then off to class!

 

Jacob 7 Months

Here is my little buddy at 7 months old. He's eating solids (hates peas, loves sweet potatoes), doing the army crawl, and just being cute.

And helping mom with laundry!

Kaylie's 3rd Birthday

Somebody had a birthday! We celebrated the day before by visiting the local aquarium. The kids loved the fish, sharks, penquins, and Emma even got to see a tarantula. A huge bird-eating one, mom got grossed out.

Side note: I recently tried to cut Kaylie's hair. Didn't turn out so well. :( Although I have to admit I was so busy trying to get cake and food ready, I don't think I ever attempted to brush or style it that day, so her pictures feature some really wild hair! 

The next day we had a small family party Grandma and Grandpa Adamson, Aunt Becky and Grandma Postma were all there.



And brought her a Tinkerbell costume that she immediately put on.

And a new Jessie doll that she has yet to put down. Love the fake smile!

And the cake, I think I may have set some high expectations after making Emma a dragon cake last month. This photo is right before she stuck her finger right in the candle flame. Didn't even bat an eye.
