Happy 5th Birthday BooBoo Chicken!!

Adelaide is our full of personality girl! She can be such a stinker and then turn around and be funny and super sweet! She was so excited to turn five. We love her so much and can't imagine our family without her "girl drama."

Finally Some Baby Pictures!

Our Baby was born on October 26th @ 2:17 am. He was 5lbs. 13oz and 18.5 inches long. The Saturday before he was born Brandon's grandpa passed away in Utah- he took Adelaide and Davis to Utah with him and the day after he left I had the baby. Grandma was beyond thrilled to take his place. Everything went well and the kids were excited to meet him when they got home a week later. They all love him. Adelaide has turned into his second mother. She wants to change his bum, hold him all the time, walk around with him- it's great! He is such a sweet baby, I think we will keep him.

First Day of Preschool

Adelaide was so excited to start preschool. She thought that preschool meant she was going to the elementary. She wanted me to send a lunch and a backpack so she could be like Davis. She didn't even say goodbye to me. She walked in the door and that was the last I saw of her. I think she is really going to have fun.

The Park/ Talkeetna Weekend

We finally had a sunny day so we took advantage of it and headed to the park. The kids of course had a blast.
Brandon suprised me with a weekend away without kids. We went the the Mt. Mckinley lodge near Talkeetna. It was so nice just to get away. The weather was foggy and rainy the whole time except while we were driving home. Mt. Mckinley came out for a little bit. We had a really nice time thanks to grandma for watching the kids.

Alaska State Fair

The kids love the fair and this year was no exception. Emma was old enough to enjoy it so it was that much more fun for us to watch her get excited about everything there was to see and EAT. We rode rides, the horses, ate, looked at the animals, saw a bird show, hula hooped, ate, saw snakes and alligators, ate some more, and visited with friends. We had a really good time- we stayed at the fair until 10pm. Adelaide was on Brandon's shoulders almost the whole time. Emma kept putting her hands over her ears because she didn't want to listen to me. Hello terrible twos!!!

Happy 8 years- a few days late!!!

Love you honey! You are a wonderful husband and a great dad. Thanks for 8 great years. I look forward to spending many many more with you. Love you

This and That

Davis started first grade yesterday. His teacher is Ms. Tardiff. I hope he has a fun year. He wouldn't smile for me in any of the pictures except the ones with his sister's. He did give me a kiss at the school in front of girls so I am still okay.
On the 4th of July we went and had dinner with our friends up the street. They have a hot tub so the kids had a blast hanging out in the water.
We have been going on hikes, baseball games, the park, go carts, and I have only a few pictures to prove that we haven't just been sitting at home while it rains and rains. The most rain in 50 years- 31 days straight of rain as of a few days ago.
