Fourth of July

Just pictures so I can catch up:)

Here we go again!

Here we go to try to get this blog going again....
We have been just enjoying life with a 16 year old 3 year old and an active 17 month old.  The two of them can be the best of friends and the worst of enemies within seconds!!  When they play together it is great and they laugh and have so much fun but all good things must come to an end!!!

This is how I keep them contained.... put them on dog leashes:)

 KIDDING!  They walk their frog and dog around the house

 Liam has to copy EVERYTHING his sister does!

Early Morning Fun before Emma wakes up:)

This boy is in DESPERATE need of a haircut!

Daddy had some special helpers the other night!  Even Lilly wanted to help and dove right into the paint!!

Pictures from the fourth will come later:)

Park and Picnic

Today we went to the park and had a picnic with Hadley and Delaney!  The girls had a blast and Liam enjoyed just running around. 

Emma made made great strides while at the park.  Before H and D got there she went off with another little boy and girl to play.  I could not believe it.  She told me mommy you go over there I stay here with the big kids.  For those of you that know her... That is a HUGE step!  I was so proud of her!!!

This park is great because everything is just the right size for a 1.5 year old and older!!! 

We moved to NY for a few reasons and I would lie if I say I don't get home sick from SC!  I miss a lot about it there but today is exactly why I wanted to be up north.  We made a last minute trip to the park and had a picnic with cousins! I love that Emma has Hadley and Delaney so close and that they are only 11 months apart... trouble in the future but for now I will enjoy watching them run around trying to catch butterflies (and Emma acting like a dog:)!!)

The girls...  The main reason I wanted to be back home-  The last minute trip to the park and a picnic!!  The perfect day!!!

Why Blog???

 
This is Day 2 of the commenting Challenge.  I love finding new blog to follow.  Today's topic is basically about your blog and why you blog....

Basically I just blog about my life as a stay at home mommy of a 3 year old strong willed little girl and a 1 year old strong willed little boy:)  I started this blog when we were living in South Carolina and the majority of our family lived in Central NY and PA.  It was away of updating pictures daily of our sweet little Emma without Emma-spamming their emails:)  I could put them on there and not worry about sending them to everyone or missing someone!  It was a great way for people to stay up to date with our life with Emma.  We moved to CNY and it is now both of my kids form of a "baby book" when I want to remember something I look it up on here:)  It is great because I was not good at staying on top of the baby book or scrap book!

Hopefully I am able to keep on top of it as the kids get older for something they can look back on as they are older.  When I have a minute breathe the last thing I have felt like doing is writing a post and hoping this will get me back on track:)

What blog would it be if pictures of these two sweet kids were not included:)

Thanks for stopping by:)

Who we are:)

I am in a bit of a blog slump so I decided to play along with the Blog Comment challenge over at Jenna's Journey.  Maybe that will get me back in the swing of things!!

A little about us:
Jeff and I just celebrating our 4th anniversary!

In those 4 short years we have had lots of changes!  The biggest change of all is the addition of our daughter Ema Rose and son William (Liam) Allen.  We have also had job changes and a move from Greenville, SC to Central New York!

Emma Rose- 3/25/09

William Allen- 1/28/11

The first meeting.... Was not love at first sight:)

Still working on that Love thing!

Here it is!!  Sharing her ring pop with her brother!!!

 This is Who We Are...  Just a stay at home mommy and loving it and a daddy that works extremely hard to give his two little loves all they want:)
