Playing in the Snow!

2008-01-03T03:07:00.001-08:00

The kids got up today and were so excited to go outside and play in the new fallen snow! Yes this is our first measurable snow. So, we got dressed and bundled up real good and while Neil was taking a nap, we went out for about 20 minutes. The kids got to try out their new snow boots they got for Christmas. It was 19 degrees and they screamed because they wanted to stay out longer! Then we came in and had Tomato Soup and grilled cheese sandwiches. It was so cold! Here are a few pictures!

Just Before we went out.

Nicholas

This is what they both looked like when we came back in.

Twins 3rd Birthday

2008-01-03T03:04:00.000-08:00

My twins celebrated their 3rd birthday. We had to wait until Saturday to celebrate. It is so hard to do a birthday party because it is so close to Christmas. Here are some pictures I have been meaning to put up.

We had a Spaghetti and Meatballs Dinner, this is one of the twins favorite meals.

The cake. Nathan got in it before we got to eat, hence the spot. I also put three candles in each corner so each could blow out there own candles.

Singing Happy Birthday

Blowing out candles.

Neil enjoying cake. Now don't get on me he did not eat much.

Playing with their new toy a Doddle Pro board.

Their last gift was chairs that I got at Walmart at the end of summer for $1.50. They loved them but did not want to leave their Doddle boards.

Christmas 2007

2008-01-03T02:59:00.000-08:00

Well, I guess I have not posted for awhile. I wanted to post some Christmas pictures and tell you a little bit about our holiday. My parents live about 3 hours away and they sent us money for gas to go and visit them. So, we set off on Sunday morning. We got about 35 minutes from home, when the car I was driving just died on me. So we spent the day getting the car towed back home and then my mom came and picked us up. We ate at Crackel Barrel, my favorite restaurant, my kids were starving and ate pancakes and sausage at 7 pm. We then spent the night with my parents and we got up the next morning and exchanged presents. My parents got all the kids some really nice gifts. Neil got this animal train and he loves it! They sell other parts to it so he may get some of those for his birthday. Nicholas got some military men and some boxers and a diary and sketch book with a special pen. Nicholas had been asking for a diary. Nathan got a remote control car and Katie Sue got a cash register. My parents also got them all a new outfit. They bought clothes for David and me too. They brought us home late the next night. We found out that our car that broke down, which by the way is not the one that a tree fell on, needs a new timing belt. I guess that when it rain's it pours and also, we for some reason did not get a rental on our policy so we can't get the other car fixed because it will be two weeks to get it fixed. But that is a whole nother story. Anyways, we got up on Christmas day and opened gifts with the kids. Nathan got up before we got in there, the little stinker and I had a hard time finding everything that had been laid out. Then we had a rushed breakfast and my dh's mother came and picked us up. We did not even get to light our fireplace. :( We got home late on Christmas night and to tell you the truth I am still tired! DH got me an mp3 player and I really like it. All in all, except for the car breaking, we had a wonderful Christmas and are so blessed! Here are some pictures, this was Neil's first Christmas!

Pumpkin Carving Night

2007-10-30T06:40:00.000-07:00

Every year that we have been married, my dh always carves the pumpkin. I collected Pumpkin Masters books every year before we got married, had lots of pumpkin carving tools, but never got around to carving(and really I do not like it) so every year we get out the books and dh picks a challenging one and has a really neat creation when he is done. Well this year, he decided he wanted to do one that was considered easy because he really did not have a lot of time to spend on it. This is the one he picked. I still think it came out pretty neat though. Also Nicholas' class went on a field trip to the pumpkin patch and they all got a small pumpkin. Nicholas carved his first pumpkin. I thought he did a great job.

Nicholas Update

2007-08-30T06:45:00.000-07:00

Nicholas started 2nd grade. His new teacher is Ms. Connie. Mommy knows Ms. Connie and things seem to be going better this year. Nicholas still enjoys talking and sometimes that gets him in trouble. Nicholas is also starting cub scouts this year. He is so excited about that. Can you believe that a Cub Scout uniform and registration fee is over $100 now. Wow! Nicholas enjoys SpongeBob and old cartoons. Like the ones Mommy and Daddy watched as kids!

The Twins Update!

2007-08-30T06:38:00.000-07:00

Nathan and Katie Sue are growing up so much! We are working on potty training but it is just so frustrating. They went and bought a new potty, but I think they like to play with it more than use it. LOL! They both love reading and can count to 5. Mommy has been working with them everyday and we read theme books each week. We learning about Teddy Bears this week! They also love to sing The Wheels on the Bus and will do the motions for the verses they want to sing. They have also been enjoying Little Bear Videos, Blue's Clues, SpongeBob, Drake and Josh, Curious George, Clifford, and Dragon Tales, to name a few. They just got Booster Seats and are really loving them!

Neil Update!

2007-08-30T06:35:00.000-07:00

Neil has become JAWS! Anytime you pick him up he tries to bite you hard!. Maybe it could be because his top 4 teeth are coming in at once and are really swollen! Neil is also a big eater! He loves about everything that he has tried!

Neil

2007-07-04T05:34:00.000-07:00

Neil will be 5 months old on the 6th! He is really growing. The other day, I noticed that he has cut his two bottom teeth now. He has been biting everything in site to relieve that teething pain, but he has teeth!!

Found one...

2007-06-19T15:02:00.000-07:00

Well, it has been a while since I have put an update on here, so here are some pictures, Enjoy! I just noticed that I do not have any of Katie Sue. I have really not been taking many pictures so maybe that is why.

April 30th

2007-04-30T07:05:00.000-07:00

This week was an interesting week for our family.

David has been waiting on Walmart for three weeks now. They said they would hire him back, but needed time to find him a spot. They called back this week to tell him that they could not find a spot for him because he was a student and they have too many right now in every department. David is now waiting for another job to call him back this coming week after taking a drug test and waiting on the results. Hopefully he will get that job. It does not pay enough, but until he can find a job it is better than nothing. David has decided not to go to school this summer. He is hoping to work for KRADD doing surveying. This would give him some great job expereince.

Last week I celebrated my 36th bithday. I am getting so much closer to 40. I asked David if he felt like he was getting ready to be 40 and he said no too. I still feel so young. David made me a cake for my birthday with my favorite candy on it, Hershey's Hugs! He did so good. I put a picture in the last post of the cake.

Nicholas has continued to do really good in school. This was the first week that they did not have to go 30 minutes longer to make up snow days. He is going to play t-ball this summer. He has had two games already, but both have been canceled because of rain. Nicholas is also trying really hard to learn to ride his bike without training wheels, he is still working on this.

Nathan, who we now call, Monkey Boy, has been climbing on everything. His poor legs are so bruised from jumping off of things. He has started to talk a whole lot more. He says "no" so cute! His little head shake that he does with it makes me laugh almost everytime! He also was able to tell us at church that someone was hurting him. We also have these dogs that have been roaming in our yard and getting in our garbage. Nathan will look out the window and tell us when the dogs are out there. He loves dogs now! We watched a dog show on tv this weekend and he sat with me through it all, just talking about the dogs. His granny Nancy got him a dog toy that he just loves.

Katie Sue is continuing to talk so much better. She is having a hard time because Nathan has discovered biting and she is taking the bites. Katie Sue loves shoes and loves keeping them on. Granny Nancy bought her some shoes that she can put on and take off by herself. She also loves being outside and swinging in her swing.

Both Natan and Katie Sue have discovered that they like to take their diapers and clothes off. i think they are both close to being ready to work on potty training.

Neil will be 3 months next Sunday. He is really growing. He is 12 pounds and 22 1/2 inches long. He got his shots last week. He has been smiling and laughing and cooing. I put some pictures of him doing that in the last post.

Our New Addition

2007-02-17T10:32:00.000-08:00

Neil Allen Adams was born on February 6th 2007 at the Whitesburg ARH hopspital at 10:33 a.m. We were scheduled for a c-section for later in the day, but it was snowing so bad that I guess a lot of surgeries got canceled. Neil weighed in at 7 pounds 12 oz. and 20 inches long. He is the biggest baby we have ever had and he is the only one we got to full term status at 37 and 1/2 weeks.
