Guess who's 2 MONTHS! Emmy is so much fun, sometimes I can't stand it! She has all of us wrapped around those tiny little fingers. She is cooing up a storm and loves to have long conversations. She is in the 50th percentile for everything and her doctor said she is "perfectly beautiful". I may be biased, but I couldn't agree more Ü She is sleeping a little better at night. We make her a bed in her car seat every night so she isn't spitting up as much. She is also on a little better of a schedule for naps so I can actually go places during the day now. Whoopee! She makes lots of friends at church and loves attention.
Can you stand those gorgeous, long eyelashes?! Me thinks I am in love!
Jacob! What more can I say? Usually a picture of him just about says it all. Oh how I enjoy this little boy of mine. He is so unique and I never know what to expect from him. He is growing like a weed and I have to keep letting out the hem in his Sunday pants.
Don't you love this picture? I swear he just had an itch but I couldn't resist;) A new cape is currently in the works so stay tuned for the new version. He is a little partial to the retro Batman and keeps telling me he has a blue cape, not black. I figured we could swing it for Halloween...or maybe everyday wear.
He was so excited to get new shoes this year. They have spider webs that light up when he walks. They are the exact shoes that I swore I would never buy for my child because they are hideous and match nothing. Now that that notion is out the window, he is perfectly happy. That is one thing that I love about him. Life is so exciting with Jacob around. It is so much fun to surprise him with new things because he reacts so enthusiastically. Now that I think of it, the shoes aren't so bad! They make my boy happy.
Caleb started second grade on the 16th. He was so excited to go back to school because, "we do stuff at school". Tough crowd! I felt a little bad for him this summer. We weren't able to get out and do much because it was so blasted hot here. Thank you to all of the family who came to visit and entertain him. He has been so patient with the new baby and she literally lights up whenever he is around.
He is also growing a ton. He is looking more "boy" than "little" now and I find myself amazed at all he is able to do by himself now. He loves to help me with whatever I am doing, especially if it is cooking. We have an appointment with the eye doctor next month to see if he needs glasses. I think he will look adorable but don't tell him I said that.
Caleb is such a good example to me. Recently he made a goal to read the Book of Mormon all the way through before he turns eight. He reads it every morning and hardly ever misses a day. I am so proud of him and happy that he will gain a testimony for himself of the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon.
Caleb loves life and is every ones' friend. Mostly he is a great brother to Jacob and I love that special bond that they share.
I am the luckiest mom in the whole world!
We recently had a visit from David's brother, Joseph, and his family. They came. There was craziness, fun, laughter, tears, hugs, a sidekick for Batman, and one of the best times we have had all year! Please, Please come again soon!
...Miniature golfing skills.....
Nosebleed seats at a Cardinals game? Count us in!!! The boys and the older kids went to a game while Amy, Brook, Sam, Emmy and I went to the St. Louis Bread Co. for dinner and shopping at the mall. It was a good night all around I think everyone had a good time.
Me and Sariah getting comfy at the Garden. Oh how I love this girl!
Cute little Brooklyn! I had so much fun getting to know this little lady better.
These two boys just melt my heart. I don't think they were more than 6 inches from each other the entire visit. They walked around the zoo like this for the whole day. So, so sad when they had to leave:(
Batman and his sidekick, Robin. They came, caught all of the villains, and fell asleep the second their heads touched their pillows. Boy did these two play hard!

Jacob's favorite animal is the Jaguar.
