Dinner Time Photo Shoot

My baby at 9 months, loves his spaghetti! With the mess he was making I had to get my camera out.



And get a picture of his great smile.



And the girls wanted their picture taken as well. Emma posing for her shot.

And Kaylie's usual cheesy grin. On another note, she is finally potty trained! Hence the lack of clothing, what finally worked was letting her run around naked. Funny kid.

 

2nd Best Mission

Bert's youngest brother Justin started his mission for the LDS church today as the 6th missionary from their family (Bert was number 2). What is most exciting is that Justin will be serving in the 2nd best mission, Ecuador Guayaquil South. The best of course is where I served my mission, Guayaquil North.

On the way from the airport to the MTC this morning he dropped by our house to say goodbye and to look at some pictures of Ecuador one more time. Here's Uncle Justin with baby Jacob. Hard to think when they see each other again Jacob will be a toddler, walking and talking!

 

Good luck Elder Adamson! We'll be praying for you and the Ecuadorian people are lucky to have you!

 

Kaylie Starts Preschool



A week after Emma started kindergarten Kaylie started preschool, and she absolutely loves it. She was so sad Emma started school and she didn't get to go with her that first week and very excited that she got to go to her very own school the following week. It's only twice a week and every day as we walk home from dropping Emma off at school she asks if she can go to "Kaylie's school" as she calls it.



 

 

Kaylie is funny when she first meets people. They usually get a growl or just ingnored for a few minutes until she decides they are okay. As excited as she is about school that's what her teacher gets everyday when I drop her off. Kaylie puts her head down and ignores Miss Jill for a few minutes, then after more kids show up she looks up and says while waving, "Bye Mom! Go to the car! Hi Teacher!" And everyday when I pick her up I hear, "Mom! I had a good day!" Funny little girl.

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!
