The last week or so...

Kambell has really loved preschool this year. But it's taking her awhile to get back into the groove. She comes home exhausted. She sat down at the table and was out in no time.

Chocolate Chip Cookies are a FAVORITE at our house. So this time the girls pitched in. They got all geared up in their aprons & hats...then got to work. There were quite a few chocolate chips that didn't make it into the bowl.






We took the cookies to Bruneau for the rodeo and they were gone in 1 afternoon.
Good job girls!

It was Kambell's day to take snacks to preschool. So she decided to take "froggies." While Kasey & Kinlee went roping- Kambell & I went to the store. She picked out oreos for the body, pretzels for the legs and smarties for the eyes. Then we were off toward home to put them together. She loved matching up the smarties (she thought they had to have the same color eyes).

It was a fun project and I think her classmates really enjoyed them.

The Finished Product...

She had to test them of course!

Kinlee's Haircut

Kinlee got her hair trimmed about 6mo. ago when Kambell got 14" cut off of hers...but she's never really had a real hair-cut. So today was the day. She took a couple of pictures from a magazine of some cute bob styles. After I got my hair cut she hopped in the chair and was still as a mouse for Amber. When Amber was done she told Kinlee that she looks like a princess...that did it. She LOVES it. It fits her cute little button face. Can't wait for her Daddy's reaction now.

Time for Pictures Again...

Kinlee just turned 3 so that means it's picture time again. I just love the gals at Target (in Eagle). They work so hard to make it a fun and easy experience. Kambell is a natural "poser." While Kinlee doesn't want to touch her sister, smile or cooperate much. They turned out pretty precious anyway.

Boy or Girl????

We will let you know in about 4 & 1/2 months...

Finally a little time to play!

During the months of April, May and June I wasn't feeling so hot. Just found out we were pregnant and was queezy from morning til night, exhausted and not willing to put forth much effort. Then my time in July through the 1st week of August was filled by doing rodeo stuff...marketing, advertising, collecting potential sponsors and organizing. So now that all that is over I have really felt like I've neglected Kambell and Kinlee...and Kasey. So we have made a fun week out of this one. On Tuesday we went to Lakeview Park in Nampa. It's a great water park for little kids. We ended up running into our friend Steph and her two little kids there. The girls spent the afternoon splashing and screaming. I'm not a water person (that is putting it lightly) so I was awfully proud of myself for accomplishing the day at the water park. So much fun was had that I forgot to take pictures so we'll have to go back...

Then today was my 20 week ultrasound appointment. Kasey had to fly to Salt Lake so he couldn't make the appointment. The girls were excited to "see" the baby so I brought them along. We made a fun day out of it. We hit the coffee hut first and got yummy treats, then on to the zoo. The entire way there the girls were trying to guess where we were heading. They finally guessed it...as we pulled in to the parking lot. It was like a treasure hunt. We'd see an animal and then rush to the next one fast fast fast. It sure wore them out.
Then we were off to my doctor appointment. Of course, the baby was not cooperating. It's head was tucked down and it wasn't moving a bit. So I had to get up and move around then we tried it again...nothing changed. She was finally able to see all she needed to see to make sure the baby was developing and doing ok. We'll try it again in 8 weeks. Kambell and Kinlee's eyes were as big as silver dollars when they recognized the baby's profile, a hand, a leg, etc. I think it made it seem a little more real to them. 21 weeks down and counting...
We had a fun day...just wish Kasey could have joined us. But when he returns from Salt Lake he and I are having dinner with some friends. So he'll get his attention, too! We are so blessed to have this time together and that we are able to spend it having fun and making memories together. When #3 comes along it all may come to a screeching halt...at least for awhile.

Make-up...Dress up...Polish

Kambell and Kinlee get so excited when our neighbors show up with their make-up and fingernail polish. They all head straight for the dress up clothes. Before Kambell and Kinlee went to Mamm and Pappy's they got to get one good play day in (Thank you Jamie!).

Kambell was very excited to be in the "beauty chair" first. Kinlee just poses like a professional and look how good Jake is being... just sitting back and waiting for the primping to come to an end so they can go run and play.Kinlee lost her top to Kambell, Emma and Annie squeezed into toddler size dress up clothes...but nothing mattered because they were all together.

A Beautiful Wedding

After sending Kambell & Kinlee to Bruneau to stay with
Mamm & Pappy (my parents),

Kasey and I headed to Lake Tahoe...
After a long, long trip on the road we arrived to a beautiful
resort like community,
where we adventured and relaxed.

Taylor (Kasey's cousin) and Heather's wedding was perfect.
It was so unique and everything was beautiful.
We enjoyed spending time with the Landa families and each other.

Mr. & Mrs. Landa...

Corby & Boston...checking the water.Uncle Kasey lovin' on The Boss
We had a great time and hopefully we'll get a chance to visit
Lake Tahoe again...
Kambell & Kinlee would love it, too.

4th of July

We packed our camp trailer and headed for Silver City for the 4th of July weekend. I can't imagine having a better time anywhere else. There were so many members of our family there, the kids played and played til they were completely exhausted, so much good food was shared, races were run ("owies" were made), memories were told around the camp fire and then our weekend came to an end. We can't wait for next year...watch out Silver City.

We put together a "float" for the parade...we filled Kasey's pick up with all the kids. The title was '7 Generations Lovin' Silver City'. There have been 7 generations of the Adams Family that have lived in and enjoyed Silver City (including us). We filled 2- 5 gallon buckets with candy and I bet they ate an entire bucket themselves.

Here is Kasey in the lead...

Here is the "owie" I spoke of earlier. We're not sure if he was tripped or if he just tripped, but 5 days later he's still hurting really bad. He tore up his hip, hand and knee.

Here is our whole group...about 35 members of the Adams Clan.

Kambell took this picture of us by the creek, under the old dance hall.

Kambell and Kinlee recently hosted a dance party for...well...for themselves. They had a blast. Kinlee makes the best faces and can shake it like no other. Kambell, too is full of moves.
