Family Pictures 2009

Thanks Chelsea!

Our 100th post...The pumpkin patch!!!

We went to the pumpkin patch this week with some really great friends of ours. The kids got to each pick out a pumpkin and they took a "wagon ride". The driver was a little on the shady side but Jenn told him to drive slowly and the kids really had a lot of fun. Happy Halloween everyone!

Doesn't it look like its snowing in this picture? You might have to click on the picture to see it.

Our friends, Josh, Jenn and Em's(Emma).

I found this pumpkin and let me tell you, it was the greatest pumpkin ever made!!!It would have been perfect for carving but it would have cost an outrages amount of money so I let it go. However, Elijah did not want to let it go, I can't say I blame him.

Elijah's face is priceless.

It was hard to get everyone to look at the camera at the same time. This was the best out of the bunch.

Totally unrelated, I know but we thought this picture was worth posting.

And just in case you forgot how cute he was...

Homecoming is Finally Over!

Well homecoming is finally over and I have a couple of spare minutes to show off our hard work. The girls really worked their tails off putting things together this year and it really shows. Above is a picture of my student council members. Some of them have been with me for four years now. I am not sure if that makes me crazy or them? Below is an unimpeded picture of our float. It was the best float that we have ever built. We won first place in hallway decorating and in float. The girls were really excited. I am really proud of the work that they have done so far this year.

Happy Birthday Joshua!!

Joshua's birthday was actually on the 1st but I was waiting for some pictures so that I could do this post. It does not seem possible that he is one. Here are some pictures taken through the year. Thanks to everyone who celebrated with us. I will get more pictures of the party up later but this is just for bubby for now. Enjoy!

Sorry Mom!!

I have wanted to post these pictures for 2 weeks but it has just been a little crazy around here. Jeremy started school last week and I am watching my little Emma and another sweet little angel named Jayda. It has been quite an adjustment with 5 babies in the house but very fun. I don't get bored anymore. So the weekend before school started we went up to mom and dads for a visit. Mom made the twins Maid Marion and Robin Hood costumes. They LOVED them. Here they are getting all dressed up.

On a side note. Here is one of our big accomplishments this summer, thanks almost entirely to Uncle Josh and Auntie Jenn...All by himself. Those of you with small children know how huge this is. Elizabeth did try it once and that was enough for her but Elijah is a pro.

And here is baby Aang, Jeremy's is letting the twins watch Avatar(a Korean cartoon on Nickelodeon) so this is the name that Joshua was given. Elizabeth is Katara on the days she takes a break from Maid Marion and Elijah of course is Sokka. So proud...

Happy 31 to the man I love!!!

To the greatest husband and daddy in the whole world. You are my best friend and I love you more then anything. You are the greatest blessing God has given me. Hope you have a great Birthday!!

All kinds of random

It has been a really long time since I have updated and so we are going to have a lot of randomness going on. I will start with our summer. It has been WONDERFUL!!We have been spending alot of time together as a family and introducing the kids to a bunch of new things. We have been doing alot with the library(summer reading program, story times...things like that.) They love it!!It is so fun for them to go up and down the aisles and pick new books and I love it too because I get sick of reading the same books over and over again. On the reading note, Elijah has started reading. I know, you probably have to see it to believe it, but he is. I have a couple videos of him reading but they are really long so I will spare you all. Elizabeth is doing really well reading individual words and is still working on sentences(mostly the articles like the, is, and, an...). We have been doing alot of swimming and Elijah can finally swim with his floaties without needing to hold on(for dear life) to one of us. Elizabeth would rather sun bath...I will get some pictures of them the next time we go.Joshuy(as the twins call him, pronounced Josh-ew-ee)is crawling and getting into all sorts of trouble. He has started pulling himself up to standing in his crib and then gets stuck that way so it has makes nap time even more of an adventure. Here he is doing just that...sorry he looks a little rough but he just woke up.

Elijah being a cutie pie.

I know this picture is a little bright but I love when my kids cuddle in our bed...precious.

playing with his favorite person on this planet...he loves him some daddy.

So this was hilarious, Justin and Amy came over to hang out and Justin and Joshua had the same outfit on. It was adorable to say the least.

Adorable babies!!

We were going through some boxes and found some old toys and clothes and the twins brought all of them to Joshua to play with. Then Elizabeth put the hat on him.

Elizabeth being "Maid Marian"
Being a silly boy.
That smile...I tell ya.
