Emma 1 month old

Wow I can't believe my baby is a month old already!! Thanks Miss Izzy for making Emma's adorable skirt.

Emma is above her birth weight and jaundice free!! I just took her to the doctor for our last weight check. She now weighs 9lbs 1oz. She eats every 3 hrs. Sometimes at night she will go 4hrs but that is pushing it for her. I am just glad she wakes to eat now because the first couple of weeks I had to wake her to eat and it was the longest process.

Together for 12 married for 8 years!!

Salado Texas

Happy anniversary Joe!! This has been the best 8 years, and I can't wait to see what the future holds for us. I can't imagine going through our crazy life with anyone else. Here are the lyrics to the song we danced our first dance as a married couple. The words to the song are so true because all I need to know is that you are by my side.

All I Need to Know
By Kenny Chesney

With a little luck this ol' truck will get me home today
With a little more I'll still have this job tomorrow
Weather man says a wet weekend he just might be right
But rain or shine you'll be mine tonight
That's all I need to know
In a world where most things come and go
I'll always have you to hold
And that's all I need to know

Heaven knows I ain't even close to bein' God's gift to women
But in your arms I feel like I am
I don't know it all, I sure can't solve
The problems of the human race
But I know how to bring a smile to your face

That's all I need to know
In a world where most things come and go
I'll always have you to hold
And that's all I need to know

Darlin', say it one more time
You will forever be mine

That's all I need to know
In a world where most things come and go
I'll always have you to hold
And that's all I need to know
I'll always have you to hold
That's all I need to know

Sesame Street

Sesame Street came to Wright Patt and it was free!! My boys have never watched Sesame Street so when I told Joseph about go to see Sesame Street he asked if it was a place to go shopping. Silly boy!! They even gave out pretty cool tools that the kids loved. The boys really enjoyed the show and I made it there on time with all three. Emma was of course perfect and slept most of the time. Levi even sat in the chair like a big boy. I was really nerves that he would not do good but he proved me wrong.

Water gun fight

Here are some pictures from the boys water fight.

We call him sniper

Big Joe filling up his weapon

Not sure if you are allowed 2 guns

First day of Mothers Day Out

The boys started Mothers Day Out. This will be Levi's second summer going and hopefully he will either go the school year or maybe preschool. Lets just say the first day is always crazy. There were tons of kids crying. Levi actually cried when I left him but he was ok within 5 minutes. He even took a good nap for them. Joseph was excited to see some of his friends from preschool.

My handsome boys

He wanted a pictures of just him

And so did Levi. This is him saying cheese.

Then of course shooting mommy

Can't forget about Mr Repeat shooting mommy also

Columbus Zoo

After we dropped Nana off at the airport we headed over to the zoo. The boys had a great time and Miss Emma was excellent. She slept the whole time we were there. Here are a few pictures. Not sure why I did not take any of Emma.

Nana and the kids

Not sure why we waited until it was Nana's last day to take pictures but we did. At first Levi did not want to take pictures. He would rather watch Go which is Diego.

Joseph loves baby Emma.



So we went to Levi



Can you tell both boys are watching tv and not looking at me??



Thanks mom for staying with us for 3 wks!! You were such a great help.
