Summer Antics
July 9th, 2009Blogging has certainly taken a backseat to real life lately but since this is the only way I do any documenting of our life I realized that it needs to put back on the top of my list. I worried going into this summer that it might be a painfully boring three months confined in the house with a new baby. I pictured kids bouncing off the wall and me tearing my hair out but it hasn’t been half bad and only with the most minor bouts of bouncing and hair tearing. We’ve stayed really busy and baby Will seems to enjoy the busy lifestyle he’s been plucked into.
At the end of May Rulon graduated from preschool which means my sweet little Ru will be in Kindergarden next year! He has a cute little graduation ceremony and got to share a fun year with his best buddies, Jack and Brett.
Lincoln finished first grade and was very much excited to leave the pressures of his “studies” behind him for a summer. Ah, the stress these 1st graders must endure! Lincoln and Mrs. Hicklin:
The boys got to go on a fun overnight with Erik for the Father and Sons outing. Ellie was sad she didn’t get to go so Erik set up the tent in the backyard when they got home the next day. The kids thought it was great, the grass in our back yard not so much..
Memorial weekend we barbequed and then decided to take the kids up to the top of Mt. Diablo to enjoy the gorgeous view. Ellie did not enjoy the views on the way back down and ended up losing her lunch in my canvas library bag.
Erik further deepened Lincoln’s obsession for guitars when he took him to Guitar Center to check out the merchandise. Lincoln was thrilled and informed me that when he goes to college he wants to major in being a rock star. I’ll have to check the course directory at BYU for that one…
My lastest nerdy obsession? Couponing! I know…weird, but I really love it. I’ve stumbled across all these crazy couponing bloggers and I really gotten into it. I can’t tell you the high I get when I score a box of granola bars for a quarter, or a tube of toothpaste for free. Oh, yeah.. One of my recent shopping trips, all for $29.00 (yes, I did take a picture of my food):
We really love Chabot Space and Science Center! As one of the prizes for the summer reading program at the library the kids got free passes, so we had to make a trip. It helped to have Kirsten and Erik there to help with brood. Check out Rulon’s obscene space suit:
We’ve joined a community pool and have also been really busy with swim team. Lincoln’s on the team and gets to compete in swim meets once or twice a week. Rulon and Ellis are a part of the mini team which means they go daily and have swim lessons with the older members of the team. Once they can swim the length of the pool by themselves they get to be on the team too. They all love it, although “Princess Ellie” doesn’t like getting her head wet, which I see has a potential hinderance to her progress. A post and pictures on swim team to come…

And all of this with a newborn?!?!?! You are AMAZING! Next thing we’ll read is how you up and ran another marathon or something.
It is nice to hear how the Adams family is doing once again! Looking forward to seeing you soon!!
July 12th, 2009 at 9:12 pm
I think I’ll start calling you Yoda–you are the Jedi/mommy master of so many things–including couponing. I’m slowly getting the hang of things–you amaze me with your organization!
July 13th, 2009 at 3:48 pm
What a great summer! You’ve been BUSY- wow! You rock. The kids are getting SO big. Thanks for all the great pics and updates on everyone.
October 27th, 2009 at 4:52 am
There is no better feeling than a great buy on something you needed. Power to the coupons!

I was reading something else about this on another blog. Interesting. Your linear perspective on it is diametrically opposed to what I read earlier. I am still contemplating over the opposite points of view, but I’m leaning to a great extent toward yours. And no matter, that’s what is so good about modern-day democracy and the marketplace of ideas on-line.

Which golf clubs will be the best for beginner ?
July 22nd, 2010 at 4:52 pm
I apologize for the possible off-topic. Guys, could you inform me which web hosting company you are using right now I have a problem because my current web hosting company hostrator.com is kicking me off. They say that our website is using too many server resources. But our website only gets 300 visitors per day.. Anyway, what would be your recommendations? Are you happy with your web hosting providers? I am checking LCN at the moment, but is it real that they can provide unlimited disk space? I have contacted them and they say something like “1000GB disk drive costs only $30 per month, so if some day we will start running out of disk space we will simply add a new 2000GB drive so can continue uploading..”. What do you think about it? Any ideas and web hosting company name suggestions are much appreciated.

Not often you can find good theme for Wordpress. There are enough nice themes, but sometimes complicated to set up. I installed last versions of Designora, My Office, Red Steel, DesignPile, also I tried also BAsense - simple, but made for AdSense. Not very often we can find something cool but good in options.
