Shannon!!!

Emma got to meet her cousin Shannon last week....er.... maybe two weeks ago!  Shannon, Bonnie and Danny were in town from CA and Emma fell in LOVE with Shannon!  She is still asking when we can see Shannon and the Funny guy:)  That would be her dad, Danny!  I am so happy that we got to see them when they were in town and hope they are ready for visitors when we come to CarsLand in Disney Land:)
Emma was loving on Aunt Margie and Shannon the WHOLE time:)  They also got a lot of QT with Lilly and her cousin Dottie:)


 Showing off!

This cutie enjoyed his water time too!!
 
These three were having too much fun!!  Not sure what Emma would do without her Hadley and Laney!!
 
Not the best of pictures of Emma (sidetracked by the TV!)  We had so much fun getting to see family that we had not seen in MANY MANY years!

A view of life through instagram:)

I love my camera and it is almost always just an arms reach away but sometimes it is just easier to grab the little phone and instagram those moments.  I usually have them on both;)  My kids know when I am around so is the camera or when Aunt Jill is around be prepared for 100 pictures taken;)  Delaney is not a big fan of me when she sees that being taken out;)!

Not sure if I had put this picture on but this boy LOVES his sand box!!!  He played in here for about an hour and a half one morning by himself.  He just sat there with his trucks and sand sweating to death having the best time! 

Going for a tractor ride with Daddy:)  Waiting for him to finish so we could break out the water toys!

 
 Getting ready for PLANES!!!  I think I might be more excited then them.  We will wait a few weeks before we see it because I want to go when the theater is less packed;)  I also think we will be in SC when it comes out!  If all works out with that trip and dr appointments here! 
When I was at target I saw this book in the 1$ section.  Biggest mistake only buying one:)  Of course they both want it ALL the time!!


 Thanks to pintrest I decided to do something that Jeff has wanted to do since we moved in but I didn't want to go through the LONG process!  Seeing the pictures on pintrest got me excited so off to Home Depot we went:) 
 Time to start painting all the molding in the house!  YIKES!!!  With that means that most of the rooms will get painted too!  We started in the hallway because I have been wanting to paint the door black for a year!  I am loving it so far and all we have done is the hallway... minus the crown molding and doors.  I think the crown molding will be the VERY last thing that gets done!!  It looks great and I LOVE it already!!!!

 Seriously it is already looking like a new house and we haven't even painted the walls yet!
This sweet little guy refuses to eat... ANYTHING!  So I told him he had to sit in the baby chair... we never used a real highchair, just hte space saver seats.  He thought this was the coolest thing and ate two meals in a row... then the coolness wore off and we are back to a bite at each meal;)  He will eat when he is hungry right???  I guess probably the reason 12 month shorts fall off his waist, ha!
 BIG DAY FOR EMMA ROSE!!!
 She headed to the Dentist!  Yes she is 4 and just going!  No judging!   Emma is some sensory issues going on and I have not felt that we would have had a successful trip until now.  Our Dentist office is amazing and she loved them.  I had just switched to them and went the week before and knew that she would not be scared there:)!  She did great but won't let them use the electric toothbrush which I knew she wouldn't but figured I would let them try.  She would have let them do it but she was so scared so they said lets not do that... we didn't want her to fear going back! 
 It was such a special day that Lilly got to tag along to get her teeth cleaned too!  Emma in formed me that Lilly does not have teeth, just stuffing! :)  That was a big treat because Lilly and Skippy are not allowed to leave the house.  Very rarely do they get to go for car rides.  They can go to Mema and Papa's and that is it.  Some days are better then others when we leave her behind

Liam was downstairs for about 20 minutes the other AM and I couldn't hear what he was doing so I went to check in with him.  He was sitting playing with this little table!  It has not been used in a long time and he was dancing away with it!  Looks like it will be getting some use again!!
 Emma outfit of the moment yesterday!  She thought she look gorgeous and I just prayed while we were in the car nothing happened that we would need to get out for!  We were going to meet Jeff in the parking lot of the orthopedic afterhours and she wanted to wear that.  she did have her 12 month tutu on but I told her she needed shorts:)  Luckily nobody but mommy and daddy saw her!

Me on the other hand... I was not so lucky at the ortho.  I knew I had done something to my foot when I dislocated the toe and I sure did... broke in two places!  OUCH!!!  I wish I could say I was rock climbing or wakeboarding or doing something cool... instead I said oh I was just walking down our hallway!  Only me!!!  The dr could not believe I had gone almost 2 weeks because she said it must hurt A LOT!  yep... it does!
 Watching the world outside!

4th of July fun!

Started the day off with a parade.  We finally got to wear our red, white and blue without winter coats and pants and longsleeve shirts under our dresses!  I had not been to this parade since about 4th grade.  It was so much fun and on our list for next!
 Before the parade started I wanted to try to get a few pictures of the two of them together.  I LOVE them:)
Haha!

Sibling Love!
 
Can't you feel her love in the one below:)
 
This little guy cracks me up.  I see many phone calls from teachers in our future!  Class Clown of the class of 2029 or something like that;)
 Practicing flag waving before the parade!





He was SO EXCITED to see all the firetrucks!!!
You would never tell he had just had adenoids out Monday!!



After naps we then headed to Mema and papa's to get some swimming in.  It is hard to believe that it is July 4th and they have only been in once!  CRAZY weather this year!!




After dinner Hadley, Delaney and Aidan came and the kids got to do some night swimming.  Jeff could not believe that I said ok and it was 7pm (Liam, you are normally in bed by then!!).  Not only did we do night swimming we headed up to the view to see fireworks!  It was a great day and the kids passed out the second we shut their doors!  Exactly as I thought because Liam went to bed late he was up super early!  Therefore... bed was much earlier tonight for both:)

HAPPY 4th of July!!

Surgery day

Monday was surgery day for Liam. He went and got tubes replaces and adenoids out. We are hoping that this will give the little guy a break with being sick all the time. He has been sick basically since he was 9 months old! Hopefully this does the trick and we have a heathy years from this day forward!!!
Trying to keep him busy before we went back.  All he wanted was a "bar" and cup!

Giving daddy high 5's

Thank god for ipads and Mater toons!
Liam does not wake up well from anesthesia!  After about 45 minutes he finally fell  back to sleep for about an hour and woke up MUCH happier!!  Ate 2 popsicles and drank his juice so he was able to go home!!
Busting out of here!  
He liked his ride until they started to push him:)
More popsicles at home and a long nap did this little guy good!
I couldn't let him have all the attention:)  I was going to the doctor in the afternoon for my knee to get the MRI scheduled.... 18 months after I was told to get the MRI;)  But on Sunday I did this to my foot.  So I had her check this out too!  It is killing me and I wish I could take some of the pain meds I have from previous surgeries but I hate taking them so I just suck up the pain;) (with csections I only took the meds for a day after getting home!  Hate how they make me feel!) 


I think Jeff is ready to admit Liam and I into a medical facility soon!!
