Check these out...

Here are two great blogs that I check often when I need a dose of inspiration and creativity...they also both happen to be written by two of my good friends. I thought you might like to check them out as well.

Welcome Fall.

I LOVE the Fall...food, football, friends, family and fun. I welcome the cooler weather and shorter days. This year Krissy is so excited about Halloween. Everyday we look at costumes online...in fact right now she is pinching my arm because she has no patience for this blogging thing! ( "I can't take it anymore" just came out of those sweet lips of hers.) She wanted to decorate our house for Halloween so I pulled out the few things I had and it just wasn't enough so we went to the dollar store to get more spooky decor. I am excited for the season ahead.

Going private.

It seems to happen to most of us sooner or later...I think it is time to go private, but I would LOVE for you to keep reading. Leave me a comment with your email address or email me at heathernadams@gmail.com if you would like to have permission to view our blog. Hope to hear from you soon!!

Buh-bye binkie!

Today is the day we say goodbye to binkie. Oh, sad day. I had to do it today so I can truthfully report to the doctor later this week that Kendall is off her binkie. Doesn't it stink to turn 18 months old? At first Kendall thought it was funny, then, as you can see in the photos, her look turns to confusion, then sadness. Today when I put her down for her nap I watched as she put one binkie in her mouth and clutched the other two, one in each hand & snuggled down into her blankie. It almost broke my heart to think that would be the last time I would see her do that. Maybe she will still want to hold them in her bed. I hope so. It so fun to watch you grow up little bunny. I love you.

Teh real me...

I promised I would do a this a wilhe ago, bit I have been putting it off...typing like I normally do, WITHOUT tthouching the backspace key. It seems to be th e key that my fingers nknow best...unfortuanately, I am not a great typer...not that I haven't paracticed (too many tyoiping tests to mention) and not that I don't have typing enees (genes)...my omther is a medical transcriptionist and can type like no toher. (Even Kyle can type circles areound me.) I even condiser myself a great speller...but wehen it comes to typing I am aftraid I have a thouch of dyslexia. So, here I am the real me. Hopefully it is good for a laugh. Just be gald I use the backspace key in every toher post. Long live backspace...

you are NEVER going to believe THIS...

I am still in SHOCK myself!! Kyle went to a golf tournament today (I'm sure he was working VERY hard...) and he won the Grand Prize of the tournament...not for his killer score, but because they pulled his name out of a hat. He won 2 round-trip BUSINESS CLASS tickets to anywhere in the world that Delta flies!

For the last hour we have been discussing all the options and I can't imagine where we will end up going because there are so many places in our list...New Zealand, Greece, Germany, Australia, Tahiti, Italy...it goes on and on. Really the only place we can't go, but would like to someday, is the Moon! I have never flown anything but Coach class so I am crazy-excited about the chance to fly Business Class...you can check that out here.

We would love to hear any suggestions, recommendations, and of course, we are always looking for travel buddies, who, in this case would likely be riding in the back of plane in the Coach seats, since all the round trip Business Class flights we have checked cost $3000-$6000 EACH!

Just yesterday I was saying how jealous I was of the honeymooners...I guess this is my chance at a second honeymoon. I'll just have to gear up to leave my kiddos...maybe there is some type of medication for that. I'm sure somehow I'll manage :) I already feel like my old-trip-planning-live-on-pennies-to-save-some-dollars-for-a-crazy-once-in-a-lifetime-trip self again! And it feels good!! Way to go Kyle...you ARE the best husband in the world...and I can't wait to see all of it with you.

Cade + Hayli Adams

Today we enjoyed Cade and Hayli's wedding. It was a great day...perfect weather, a beautiful couple, an amazing ceremony and time together. This makes 7 "Mr. and Mrs. Adams" in just this one family & I LOVE being a part of it. Kyle's parents also celebrated their anniversary today...and look at what they started 39 years ago!
Cade and Hayli, we wish you all the best! XOXO

Silly me!

Haven't had this much fun in a long time...you can try it HERE.

In my blood

I have a secret. I like politics...so much that I have enjoyed watching the Republican and (and even) Democratic National Conventions. As a high school student I was involved with the Young Republicans and helped campaign for George H.W. Bush when he ran for President in 1992. Of course I don't like everything that goes on in politics, but I do have my favorite politicians, pundits and news channels. You would think this is a dirty, rotten hobby of mine...the way I quickly flip the channel when Kyle walks into the room. He doesn't enjoy it the way I do, but Sarah Palin just might change all that.
I figure it is because it runs in my blood. My mom attended the 1972 Republican National Convention as a delegate. How cool is that??? You are the bomb, Mom! Thanks for teaching me to love my country...and even politics!!

Uh-oh

We came home to find THIS on Sunday...and now it is Thursday and it is still laying on our lawn. Not fun, but it definitely could have been worse...at least it didn't fall on someone or something. I think it was Mother's Nature's revenge for neglecting our yard this year. Oh well, maybe next year.
