Winter in July?

So Emmitt decided on July 15 that he just had to wear his winter coat, gloves and hat! I was sweating just looking at him, but as you can see he had a great time!

Lunch time snoozing

Thus is one of my favorite things Emmitt does! After eating lunch he just lays down and falls asleep! This is a first though. Usually he lays his head on the table. Today it was the chair! Oh my sweet boy!

Emmitt's cute little language

Emmitt says the cutest things! Lately he's been saying- what happen? Its usually when somebody says ouch. He also says "super why to the rescue". He calls all super heroes super why. He used to say super hero and then he watched an episode of Super Why and that's what he's been saying ever since. Oh and he only wants to wear super why (hero) shirts, basketball pants and Batman socks that don't match! Where did he come from? Another language thing he does is saying an s sound for an f. So fish is shish, friends is svends- or something like that! There are tons of other things he's saying, but that's what is coming to mind at the moment!

We have a stander!

This morning when I went to get Bailey she was standing in her crib! Then later in the morning she pulled herself up to the little piano and even moved around the side to hold on to the toy kitchen. She's only 8 1/2 months! I totally can't remember when Emmitt started to stand, but I'm pretty proud of her! I think she's trying to keep up with her big brother!

Adventures to Idaho falls

Tiffani and i decided to pack all three kids into her Yukon and drive to Idaho falls to get our blood drawn this afternoon. We found out about a study being done at rocky mountain diabetes with another group that's checking for auto antibodies that are found in people with type one diabetes. The study is including anyone with a sibling, parent, child, cousin, aunt, uncle or grandparent with type one.  So i guess I'll find out in 4-6 weeks if i have the antibodies. Not a super fun reason to drive to Idaho falls, but its always fun to be with our friends! Emmitt and Jalee were playing with my little ponies. Jalee always brings Emmitt a specific pony each time they play together and he loves it! Bailey fell asleep on the way down and emmitt fell asleep in the car once we got down there and Jalee finally fell asleep for the ride home! Gotta love sleeping kids in the car!

Sleep glorious sleep!

Naptime and nighttime for this little gal have been rough the last little while. She only wants to sleep while being held. When we put her into her bed she wakes up and cries and cries. Today I let her cry in her bed for 30 minutes and she didn't calm down at all! So I got her out of bed and within a few minutes she was asleep. My mom suggested I lay her on the couch and then just stay by her so she didn't fall off. Not only did she let me lay her down, but she slept for 2 hours! It was the best nap she's taken in a long time!

Silly friends

On our walk yesterday we stopped by our friends the Mecham's. Emmitt LOVES their kids! He's always asking for Jase and Emma (who are 7 & 9). He also loves Hanna who is 4 & Olivia who is 1. They are all so good with him and he loves playing with them. Yesterday they decided it would be fun to sit in the back of their van. Oh and the drink? It had soda in it at first and was sitting on the front step and Emmitt had just helped himself, so Lindsey filled it with mio water instead and he was happy as a clam!
