lunch

The Past week I've been taking the kids to the park after Emma wakes up from her morning nap. I pack a lunch for Emma (Jonah usually eats before we go) and it is so easy! I love not worrying about her throwing her food on the floor or making a huge mess on her tray. She loves being outside and we will be sad when its too hot to play at the park. Its still in the 80's but that's not going to last much longer! Just grateful our resident's club has a sweet water park. Not looking forward to making sure Emma doesn't drowned! She loves water.

big sister

 

Emma Pooh,

I can't believe you're about to become a big sister. You are still my baby girl and I don't want you growing up that fast!

But then again, I am so grateful to have such an independent 17 month old! I don't have to worry too much about having another baby so soon because I know how easy going you are. (let's hope it stays that way!) It has been so different having a girl. You tease a lot. Jonah was never that way. I guess I expected you to be just like your big brother and want to rough house all day.  But you are so girly and cuddly, I love it. You want to walk around in my shoes, play with your pretend jewelry box and brush your crazy hair all day! You definitely have a major goofy side to you! The way you will eat anything we put in front of you amazes me. Where are you storing it all? Aunt kelley says she is sending you a box of food for your birthday.
                     I melt every time I see you run to the door to greet your daddy. You have such a special connection with him. Jonah and you are becoming best friends and I love that you two play together and make each other laugh all day. Jonah loves you so much and really watches out for you.

What a lucky girl you are! You are loved by so many and will have three men protecting you the rest of your life!

                                                                  I love you Emma! -Mommy

march fun

I know this is way overdue. I really am going to try and be better, for my own sake. These are all a mix of pictures from the zoo and the park back in early March. We went to the zoo with Jonah's preschool and had a blast! It was so fun that Zach had the day off and was able to join us! We try and do a lot on his days off and make the most of the time daddy's home!

Most of these pictures are of Miss Emma, since Jonah was constantly chasing his friends around the zoo! She is changing so much. Even these pictures are too old because she already is looking so much bigger and her hair is finally starting to grow!

 We took the train that rode around the zoo and got to get close and personal with all the wildlife.

                                                     Excuse the graham cracker mouth.

                                             We ate at the zoo's park and let the kids run free!

 

She absolutely LOVES the slide. We can't keep her off of it But the scary thing is that Emma will literally walk onto it and probably break her back going down if we let her.

Probably the coolest (well I thought so anyway) was feeding the giraffes. I never knew that giraffes have the craziest tongues! Check this out! 

And that's nothing.. his tongue came out twice that far to snatch up food! EEW, but very cool.

And here are just a few random from the park by our house last month.

We are so obsessed with these two and can't believe another little boy is coming so soon! I'm 30 weeks now. Time is flying by and life is always changing. I love our little family and couldn't be more blessed.

This morning we visited a farm with Jonah's preschool!

Jonah was so anxious to get there he kept yelling "Drive faster mommy! Hurry!" 

What I didn't expect was how much Emma enjoyed it too. 

She would have rolled around with the pigs if I had let her.

They each got to hold a baby goat.

Look how affectionate Jonah is. 

Emma ran off to show me the cows. 

Look at her point!

She's saying "I'm going to touch them okay!" 

But she got a little too close and had to make a dash. 

Everyone got to take home an egg too

but I think most of them cracked before we left. 

Okay, so instead of writing a huge post about Jonah. 

Tonight I'll just share a few notes I took on him today:

This morning (like every morning) I have pretty bad nausea. 

Jonah wanted me to help him build his trains and

I told him my tummy was hurting so I couldn't. 

Jonah said, " Mommy I tickle your tunny and make it all better? Mommy need to go to hospital to make your tunny better?" ....." Mommy did you eat monster food?" 

"Is there wots of monster food in your tunny that makes your throat choke?" 

Later on.. 

me: "Jonah do you want to go down the slide?" 

Jonah: " No, when I'm big and strong I will."

And here are a couple from sunday. Jonah came into our primary class because he didn't want to sit in sharing time. When we asked if he wanted to go back to sharing time he said " No. I'm so cold! I need to go home and take my clothes off and get in bed. I need to get cozy." 

And as I was typing this Jonah started yelling for me from bed so I went in to see what he needed and he said" Mommy I need to get out of bed. I'm coughing myself." 

"your coughing yourself??" 

"Ya, I'm coughing myself. I need to get out of bed." 

I told him that he just needed to go back to sleep and he said, 

"No. Sleeping won't make me better." 

 So I told him we were going to the big park tomorrow and he got super excited and said, 

"Mommy! You need to make me eat lots of really giant food so that I can grow really big and strong and go down the giant slide all by myself! Oday?" 

I love him. I laugh so hard every day.

Wow! Way to start on my New Year's resolution. Better late than never right? 

 Well since it's been like a year since I've really sat down and blogged. Much has changed. 

One is we are very excited to have another BOY this June! 

This post is pretty random but here are some pictures as of late. 

We went to Peter Piper Pizza with Jonah's preschool and then again like a week later. It's Disney land to Jonah.

These are just a mix of both visits.

Jonah is too hard to snap a picture of 

so it's mostly just Emma.

Making personal pizzas

Emma absolutely Loved this game!

She really tried so hard.

And that's all I got. Good times! 

We've been at the park a lot lately..

This picture makes me laugh just because Jonah posed all on his own and it ended up making the perfect "staged" pic. He is getting so big, and such oh my SUCH a CHATTER BOX! He says the FUNNIEST stuff. Next post will be all about Jonah's sentences.

Emma. Can't keep her still. She will take off the minute she gets a chance. 

She is turning into the biggest goof!

She is about 15 months now and blabbers and twirls.

She is so goofy, We love it!
