Family Updates!

Well, I am behind on blogging AGAIN. I had a few posts from a while back that wouldn't publish last time I was on so they were published today. Anyways, lets see....Keagan is 5 1/2 months old. He is rolling over and trying to sit up. He has a tooth trying to break thru and finally sleeping thru the night now. We had such a hard time with him gaining weight in the beginning so we started supplementing with formula a few feedings a day and that really helped. That was of course after all the tummy aches and constant crying until we figured out he was lactose intolerant and needed soy formula. Apparently, I only make skim breast milk by the way!...lol. He is doing much better now and we are trying baby food. Baby cereal just seem to upset his tummy to much. I sure hope that is not a sign of trouble to come! He was not a good sleeper in the beginning either. He had to wake up and nurse every 2 hours for the first few months. It slowly started to get better. He is so much fun right now with his laughing and cooing. I just have to say I love being a mom!


Kami is doing well in school and is finally reading. She loves school and is anxious to learn something new each day. She is taking gymnastics and really seems to enjoy it. She comes home and practices after class. She is also doing really well in AWANAS. Her memorization's skills have improved drastically. She is really into arts and crafts and loves to play outside.


Kaleb is also doing well in school. He amazes me how quickly he picks up on new things. He doesn't like writing in cursive though. He is playing machine pitch baseball again this year and Tim is the coach. He likes playing pitcher or short stop. We are really working on good sportsmanship this year. That is such a hard concept for him. Kaleb really loves riding his bike and reading library books. He just finished up his bear badge for boy scouts as well.


Tim is working alot as usual and been out of town a lot this year training new managers in the area. He has finally gotten his store running smoothly so he doesn't have to worry about them while he is gone. He is such a hard worker and I am so proud of him. He still manages to come home and be a good dad and husband too. God has truly blessed me with a great man.

As for me, I went to weight watchers to lose my baby weight and then some and I am proud to say as of today I have lost 20.2 lbs and am training for another 5K in May. I still have another 40-50 lbs left to lose and am excited to say I feel I have found a program that that goal is actually attainable! God has reminded me I can take care of myself too and still be a good mom. Please keep me in your prayers as I fight hard to reach my goal!


I am excited that at the end of the month we will be taking our spring break/vacation to Grapevine. We are going to the Legoland Discovery Center and the Great Wolf Lodge. We are also going to take the kids to eat at the Rain forest Cafe and go back to Wylie and visit our old church and friends there. I can hardly wait. We were going to a Rangers game too but I feel that would be hard with Keagan. So, maybe next year!

Baby Shower and New house!

I have so much to update! I have been slacking off on blogging, but hope to do better this year. Let me start with the great baby shower I had. On September 18, Grammie Carol and my friends came together to make a beautiful shower for Keagan. I received so many great things and the decorations were adorable! And, Aunt Debbie was so gracious to let us have it at her house!








On September 30, we closed on our house. We were able to save enough money for closing costs and have the carpets cleaned. I am so thankful for our new home. It needs some work, but it is so nice to be able to say it's "ours"!! We moved in all weekend and Tim painted the kids rooms. We tried to put the crib together but somehow are missing 2 major pieces. Which is fine for now. We have a great backyard for the kids to play and a room for school. The boys bedroom is big enough for all their things and thankfully so is their closet.


I will have more to update as soon as baby Keagan is here!!!

Updates and changes

We finally moved to Slaton and have gotten situated. We have been here nearly a month now. That seems so crazy to say!! We will have to move again in a few months to a more permanent location. We are grateful to our friends who were kind enough to let us stay here while we finish paying out our lease in Odessa. We are anxious to find a new home before Keagan comes. We are patiently praying God leads us to the right one. We are only 11 weeks out til Keagan arrives and I am starting to get tired more easily. I am not feeling too bad otherwise. We meet our new baby dr. and have a sono on Wednesday and I am so excited to see my lil man again. Tim is working out of town alot this month and I really hate it. I don't do well with out him. Sure hope Keagan doesn't decide to come early!


Kaleb has dental surgery Thursday in Amarillo and we both aren't looking forward to it but he really needs it to get rid of the infection in his gums. At least it is at my mom's work and performed by a dentist my mom has known forever and trusts.

We started school early this year (today actually) to be able to take time off when Keagan is born. I don't want to get behind and this will give us a chance to get a good routine started with the baby.

Tim and I will celebrate our 10 year anniversary on the 26th of this month. I can't believe it has been that long. He is such a good husband and I couldn't have asked God for a better man! Hopefully we will be able to do something fun to celebrate the day.

Being so far yet we will keep you close!

Since we have a tendency to move alot with Tim's job and we aren't always close to either of our families I thought I would start a blog to help keep us close. I will update it and add pics so you can see our family grow wherever we are! Lets start with an update. We have been in Odessa, Texas since mid-August of this year and are finally settled in and learning our way around.

Tim is the store manager with Big Lots here in town and has really turned the store around. He has passed all his audits and the store has reached all its monthly monetary goals too! He has received a lot of customers and even employee compliments. The company is happy with his success of turning a failing store around. We are really proud of our daddy. He is such a hard worker and a great provider.

Our son, Kaleb, is 7 already. He is in the 2nd grade and is a very smart kid. He loves to read and build with Lego's. Kambree is 5 now and is in kindergarten. She loves animals and is still very much a tomboy! The kids and I are homeschooling each day and learning lots of new things. We have gotten involved with a few other home school families and love to meet at the park. We are also a part of the AWANAS ministry at church. The kids are learning their verses so well.

I am doing well. I just turned 30 and realized the world didn't end! I am enjoying the privilege of homeschooling the kids. I love getting to spend more time with them. We are hoping to add to our family soon as God allows. We hope you enjoy reading and and keeping up with the Adams' family adventures.

With all our love wherever you may be,

Tim, Jennifer, Kaleb and Kambree
