Emily and her new toys

Emily loves her new toys.

Emily's 2nd Birthday

We had a big party here at the house. It was a housefull. The kids had fun playing in the backyard and playing games. Emily says thank you for all of the gifts she received, she really likes them.

I can't beleive she is already 2. She is growing too fast and it just hit me the other day how fast. She does pretty much everything for herself now except a few things and that is hard to take hold of. I am so use to her needing me, which she still does, I just can't wrap my head around her getting big so fast, it almost feels like she already has one foot out the door.

Your gorwing too fast......

You are getting so big, I can't beleive you are going to be 2 this weekend. You are a good little girl. You love playing in the backyard so I snapped some shots of you yesterday.....

Easter 2006

We went to the church egg hunt on Saturday and you had such a good time. You got right in there and got you some eggs and you enjoyed the music and stories that that Pastor Mark performed. We went to church service Sunday, when I went to pick you up from your class I asked you if you had fun and you let out this huge "YEAH!!!!" It was so cute. Love you precious girl.

Texas Friends

We got to see Matt, Melissa, Kennedy and Evan while we were visiting. You all got along really well. They came to your birthday party too. You like to follow Kennedy around and do what she was doing.

Emily's Texas Birthday

While we were in Texas we had a little birthday party for Emily. Aunt Jenny got her a really cute baby einstein cake and her and Mike cooked had the family and some old friends over. She had a blast. We sure did appreciate it.

Baby Shower

We went to Texas for a visit and Chris' mom and sister threw us a nice shower. We really appreciate everything that we received. It was very thoughtful. I know they spent a lot of time planning for it. We got to see the new babies in the family for the first time, well 2 of them anyway. I can't wait to see mine!

Just an Update

Emily has gone through a growth spurt this last week. She has been eating like a pig. She is getting taller and either I am getting weaker or she is heavier. I think it is a little of both. I have 9 weeks to go till the scheduled date. I am starting to get really tired again. I hate that my energy is going away since Emily is so energetic. Emily likes to rub my belly and say "baby Jacu." She is learning new words and trying to have conversations with you but its hard to make out what she is saying. We got Emily a backyard of toys so she will be entertained this summer. She loves the swing the most. We just have to get her a swimming pool since she is such a water baby. Hopefully she will get a lot of swimming practice this summer. Nemo is her thing right now. She watches the movie at least once a day. We decided to have a nemo birthday party for her. She will love it. We are excited for the baby to get here but my anxieties are kicking in. Becoming a mother of 2 is a little overwhelming to me sometimes but I know I will get through it. We got a new truck since we needed more room in the car. A Saturn Vue. I love it, its perfect. Not too big or small. We are going to Texas at the end of the week and we can't wait for the little vacation.

12 weeks left

Here I am with only 12 weeks left. As you can see I am spreading in every direction imaginable. The official delivery date is June 15 scheduled for 7:30am. I am ready for this baby and with everyday get more excited to see what little Jacob Christopher is going to look like. If he is anything like his Daddy he will be a cutie. As much as Emily took after him, I am willing to bet he will be pretty dominant over Jacob as well. We are getting ready for him and can't wait for the day to arrive.

M y little Monkey

Emily decided to climb on top of her canopy on her bed and lounge there and brush her teeth. She also tried to get on the very top but we had to put a stop to that.

Shelby's 2nd Birthday Party

We had Shelby's party here at the house. You girls had fun even though you had a few little spats. You were so worn out you were in bed at 8:15pm and it is now 7:45am and still in bed. We had fun and can't wait till the next one.

Emily's New Bed

You got your new big girl bed today. You were so happy to see the delivery guys putting it together. You kept telling them, my night night. Now we just have to find some place for the rest of your stuff.

Jump House

Mommy and Daddy got you a jump house since you love to jump and dance. You played on that thing for 2 days straight and boy were you all tuckered out at the end of each day. You were very helpful when it was time to put it up because it was expected to rain the next day. You love it and I think you will get a lot of fun out of it all summer.
