It's a Boy!

Needless to say, Bert is ecstatic. He was starting to feel a little lonely! We're all excited!

My OB's office apparently has 3-D ultrasound now. Which I think makes babies look a little weird, I mean really, the poor thing is still growing, no fair taking pictures yet! Anyway, I'm posting pictures from both the regular ultrasound and the 3-D.

Kaylie's Birthday

Last week was Kaylie's 2nd birthday. Lucky girl got to celebrate it all week! Last weekend the Adamson grandparents were in town for a baby blessing. We had a get together at Aunt Codi's and stuck some candles in a banana cream pie for Kaylie to blow. Of course she didn't figure out the blowing part and I didn't have my camera (shocker I know).

Monday was her actual birthday so she got to open a present. I didn't get a picture of the actual present, it was a collapsible crib for her babies that was apparently broken (we couldn't get it set up) so I had to run back to the store to exchange it. It works great now and she loves it!


And Saturday we had a party at Grandma Postma's house with brownies and ice cream


And of course more presents


I'm not sure she ever put her dolls down while trying to open presents. She's a little obsessed with them these days.


We did get lots of oohs and aahs from her!

Birthdays for Emma and Bert

So four years ago Bert's 30th birthday present was Emma. After 36 hours of labor she barely made it for his birthday at 11:30 pm on July 2nd.

While in Spokane we celebrated both with a big party thrown by his mom.

Emma had a pink dinosaur cake that she was just thrilled about.



And Bert had German Chocolate complete with 34 candles! Thanks for the party Mom and Dad we had lots of fun!

Washington

Summer is more or less over at our house. Bert is back at school, I was working close to full time this summer and now I'm back at home. So time to catch up on some posts.

I spent all of May and June miserable with morning sickness. It's finally gone, but I can't say we did much those couple of months!

July we spent the first two weeks in Washington. The drive up was pretty uneventful and the kids did great!

Until we got to the pass...


... and we discovered that Kaylie gets carsick. Luckily we were only 30 minutes from Spokane and just drove the rest of the way with the windows open. We weren't so lucky coming home. She thew up twice and had two diaper blowouts. I think between that and potty breaks we stopped every two hours! Emma's comment when we stopped in Pocatello for some food: "Mommy, going home takes a long time!"

While in Spokane we left the kids with grandma, grandpa, lots of aunts and uncles and Bert and I spent a weekend in Seattle. Kind of a belated 5th anniversary trip. We had tons of fun! Stayed in a beautiful hotel in Bellevue, right near the temple. Spent some time on the waterfront and attended my cousin's wedding. It was a much needed, wonderful vacation for the two of us! I was still dealing with morning sickness, so not a lot of pictures.

What We've Been Up To...

Not much really. I finally got my camera out today and realized I had a few pictures I hadn't uploaded so here they are.

Kaylie with calmer hair amazing me that she could eat a whole apple at 21 months



And Emma at swim lessons this past month. I was amazed at how much she learned and how much fun she had! Our community pool has a great leisure pool that goes from 1 inch to 4 feet deep so the little kids could stand in the water and follow the teacher's instructions. They learned to put their faces in the water, go under water and pick up things off the bottom, float on their back (with help) and "swim" on their front (with more help).

They had parents sitting pretty far away so the pictures aren't the best quality. That's her on the left in front of her teacher.

And practicing with the teacher. She really thinks she can swim now!
