Pumpkin Patch

Last week Emma's playgroup went to the pumpkin patch. Emma was so obsessed with "driving" the tractors that she had no interest in playing with the other kids and even missed the real tractor ride! She insisted on sitting on every single one of the 12 or so tractors they had sitting out. I got some pictures of just a few.

Who's in charge?

Emma thinks she is in charge. A couple of weeks ago she was having a particularly bad day which had resulted in several time outs. That night she was so fed up with me while I was changing her that she started yelling, "No touch, no touch! 1, 2, 3 Time Out! Time out!" Perhaps annoyed that I didn't go to time out, the next day she tried to put Kaylie in time out for kicking.


Yesterday we were at a doctor's appointment. As he looked in Kaylie's ears, Emma looks at the doctor and yells, "no touch ears! No touch ears!" She's gotten a little protective of her little sister. She'll also defend her (and me) from the kids at play group.


And what made me laugh today was the declaration from Emma, "Mommy, I can't fly." This after watching Dinosaur Train where the kid dinos were discussing who could and couldn't fly.

Whose kids are these?

I am not sure I can claim these two Ute fans as my own. They are definitely Bert's and I guess I'll be sitting by myself during the BYU vs. Utah game. Believe it or not Grandpa and Grandma Adamson bought these for them!


Kaylie had her two month check up yesterday. All is well and she is in the 75th percentile for height and I think the 40th or so for weight, (sounds like her mom). She's smiling and playing and she actually slept for 7 hours the other night, I am feeling like a normal person again!

Kaylie's Baby Blessing

Kaylie was blessed yesterday by her father. Grandpa Adamson, Great Uncle Robbie, Uncle Joe, Uncle Andy, and our good friend Darrell also participated. The blessing Bert gave her was beautiful and we had a great time with family afterward (thanks grandpa and grandma for coming down from Spokane for it!).

And here is our first family picture.

And here are two pictures of all the women (in my direct line) who have worn that blessing dress. My great-grandmother made it for my great aunt about 100 years ago. Great-aunt Helen wore it, my grandmother, my mother, my aunt, myself, my sister, a cousin, and my two daughters.

Sisters at 6 weeks

I finally got a picture of the two girls. Emma loves her baby sister and loves to help with diaper changes, getting dressed and shoving binkies in her mouth. Emma hasn't been too excited about how much Kaylie wants to be held however and has gotten a little clingy.
