Memories

These are memories.

Some to just watch.

Some bring out emotions that fill you with a joy that cant be described(really nice feel goods:)

Some even feel like happy tears might come.

Some make me smile big smiles.

Some make me laugh.

Some in that moment I love my husband even more as I see him being a GREAT daddy.

These memories and many more to come are what makes life good, what makes it worthwhile.

I'm grateful for many more to come!

A Picture to save a memory

This day was one of those better days. Not so crazy days with the kiddos. I was going to change Emmas diaper and Logan wanted to change Dusty the Dogs diaper too. So we then went through, a couple of times of how to change Dustys diaper(he already knew it but learning again) so Logan got a diaper, wiped him and put the new, clean diaper on. He actually does pretty good doing most of it himself. So I was really proud watching him do this. So then I was going to the rocking chair to nurse Emma and Logan wanted to rock Dusty too. So as I see him doing this I just had to take a picture. Just to capture how loving he was to Dusty, how in this one picture you see a little boy learning to nurture, learning to love, learning to care. And really I'm learning from him how to really be a mother. To just watch him im learning. and to top it off Logan says   " Mommy one day I will have a baby like Emma"  Me: "Yup one day you will"(well I had to say that one day he will marry a girl and she will have the baby)  Logan: "One day I will rock a baby like Emma" Me: "Yup buddy you will" AW....... How sweet is that???? So then Logan got a binky for dusty and laid him down for a nap. 

 Dusty so happy.

Emmas 9 months & update on Logan

Here is Emma saying Yeah I'm 9 Months! (ok really I was holding up a toy for her to look up and smile for me, shes moving so much now she cant hold still except for when she is sleeping!)

 Now that I have 2 kiddos Emmas landmarks and age is going SO much faster than Logans did, of course, so it makes me a little sad but so fun at the same time. 

Stats:

Height: 27 3/4 in. 

Weight: 17 lbs 12.5 oz =cute, chubby girl! love it!

Emma says mama and dada, she waves but mostly to dada, shes starting to cuddle more with daddy, yeah! Shes a mommas girl, which I love but daddy wants some Emma time too! So yeah for more cuddle and play  time with daddy! Shes crawling, standing up to anything, has stood up on her own for a few seconds(we will see when she walks!) still puts everything to her mouth(loves to pick up anything off the ground), so far not the greatest baby food eater so teeny finger foods it is so far.(oh man this  will be difficult if she is a picky eater..we are not picky eaters, but oh well we will figure it out if so..) she loves to try to play and do anything Logan is but he doesn't always want to play with sister if shes gonna play with his diggers. MY BULLDOZER!  but it is cute that now she just wants to be involved in everything and get to everything. She always has tons of smiles for us. Shes blabbing and trying to talk. Logan will say "Mommy, Emmas trying to talk like me" and " Emma is going to walk like me" "Emma is going to be big like me" so cute..Yup good big brother. Emma can be stubborn at times, is very playful, loves to play(pat a cake and horsey ride, airplane ride) is a very happy baby full of smiles and loves. 

 Now gotta do an update on Logan! Logan is so funny! He is always saying things that just keep us laughing! and he will throw in a good curve ball and throw in something we said to him back on us. Kids keep you in check! Man I'm learning! Logan loves diggers, Thomas the train, Bob the Builder, anything with trains and diggers..He loves to read! We read all day! love it! He will pretend to read a book to me and actually read a    book that we have read a million times to him back to me word for word. He loves his new tricycle and finally got the pedals down and says "I am speed" as he goes(yup likes Cars too..) Oh and Jesse has already got him talking Star Wars. He likes Anakin Skywalker and Luke and daddy is Obi Wan Kenobi and any chance he gets Logan turns anything into a light saber!(even at church he took daddys pen and it now was a light saber! HAHA oh boy..  He loves the outdoors so we LOVE getting sun any chance we get! Plus it helps him get some fresh air that he needs regularly to function better:)  So really besides the fact that Logan will randomly whack his sister(not cool) sometimes because its his sister and he just doesn't want her around sometimes..he will be so helpful and help burp Emma and he is so sweet and goes up to Emma with a big smile and says Hi. And almost every day he will randomly say, "Mom, hows your day going?, How are you today?" Logan has such a sweet, big heart and always is giving us hugs and kisses. We love them and grateful Heavenly Father let us be blessed with them here.

these are his smiles for me

I LOVE SUMMER!

I love soaking up the sun, playing outside, looking for buggies, running through the sprinklers, walks, taking the kiddos for a wagon ride, watching my kids play outside, going to the park, blowing bubbles, feeding the ducks, stepping in dog POOP!(oh wait thats one thing I don't like in the summer!), watching Logan try to skip a rock, seeing Emmas face as she rides the four-wheeler with Uncle Greg(she loved it!), seeing Logan try sooo hard to get on his helmet(so independent dont try to help unless he asks), Emmas excitement on her face to go outside, coloring chalk on the sidewalk, playing in the dirt(Logan wanted to plant "corn seeds"-any plant he labeled a corn seed- today), watching for every bird, plane, helicopter, train, digger, and enjoying nature and all the beautiful things we get to see.

Its just the beginning of summer and we want to get the most of it(since it goes by way too fast!) so every chance we get we are coming outside! 

 look at that cool swing at the park!

Richard Marx!!

Yup I should of blogged about this forever ago..in February. oh well..I'm getting to it now! So we went to Richard Marx for my moms bday! Richard Marx is her teen idol... and as you can see by moms face she is like a little girl again getting all excited to see him again.(Sorry mom that I caught you in the half drunk look, the pic just catches the excited look:) And if you know Richard Marx(which if you don't you probably know one of his songs but didn't know his name). So yup it was an amazing concert. He is an amazing singer, songwriter and an amazing, funny performer on stage and sounds great live! It was a great night with dinner at chilis and having fun with all us ladies!(Mom, Chloe, Aub, Felicia, Leah and Bri)

and if you dont know Richard Marx watch this video and I bet you will go "Oh thats Richard Marx" or just have fun watching a good song...I love that my hubby can play this on the guitar for me..
