Emma singing

Emma loves to sing, and now has started "doing moves" as she calls them to the music...thought I would get it on video... its pretty long, the whole entire Ariel song, but its cute...oh, and you'll have to turn it up pretty loud, she singsa kinda quiet... enjoy :-)

Lewisville Park

My little Sis came up with her hubby and kiddos a few days ago, and we had a fun day. We got to go up to Lewisville Park(which is about 5 minutes from our house), and hang out. Emma and Ben love to go there and play, feed the ducks, get muddy and wet, and well, run around and scream :-) So here are some pictures from the park..(Oh, and for those of you wondering why Dave has not been in any pictures recently, he's been working a LOT the past few weeks, its a busy time and he's been pulling some LONG days...poor guy, but hopefully things will slow down soon!

At the wedding :-)

On Saturday Emma and I had a fun girls day- we drove up to Tacoma, WA for a very fun and beautiful wedding! Amanda's sister Melissa got married, and it was such a fun night. Dave and Ben had a guys night, I think they went to look at fishing stuff and got Burgers (what more could you want?? :-)Here's a couple pics from the night..

Me and Amanda- lookin good girl ;-)

Fun days with our friends!!!

What a fun week we had! My best friend Amanda came out from Illinois for her lovely sisters wedding, and she and the kids got to stay 4 days with us! (Dave really missed you Wade!) It was so good to have some time together, and let the kids get to know each other some more. We were pretty proud of ourselves for being brave enough to go out with all four kids, and actually get them all to sleep at night (though usually not without a fight :-)) We love you guys!!

Playing in the sprinkler :-)

History is being made as I type this...

OK, I feel like it is Christmas morning right now... something that has NEVER happened in our house-EVER- is happening! Benjamin and Emma are both taking naps at the EXACT same time!!! Ahhhhhhhhh...i knew it would happen someday...Emma has not taken a nap since she was 2 1/2...i think she must be fighting a cold or something....now the only question is......what do I do with free time??????Whats that??? :-)

Oh, my.......

Yep, this is the salmon Dave caught yesterday! About 20 pounds, he was pretty excited! Fish Fry anyone??? :-)

Emma's new quilt!

My mom has been working on this quilt for Emma's birthday since December...and its done and absolutely awesome! She also made matching pillowcases and a valance for her window...Emma loves how it looks and it makes her room look so grown-up and pretty...Thanks Mom, looks like you could go into business for yourself :-)!!!

Cowboys

These three boys are TROUBLE....they played outside for hours on Sunday, and loved trying on Papa Don's cowboy hats...
