Happy Father's Day

Jeff is out of town for work so made him this little video:) So I have tried and tried to upload the videos and I can't... of course!  They are pretty entertaining though.  We had several outtakes and finally I decided it was good enough:)!!!!

I know everyone says this but Emma and Liam have one of the best daddy's EVER!  Not a day goes by that I do not hear a thousand times is daddy coming home??  Is daddy here??  As soon as he walks in they are ready to play and he just wants to breath for a minute:)  Once in a while they will let him!!!

 When Emma was born and I was released from the hospital Jeff would go to work all day and then come back up to the hospital with Emma and I for a few hours before we headed home to do it all again the next day!  This is one of my favorite pictures.  Shoes how little she is and that she already has daddy wrapped around her finger!!

 Liam also got to spend lots of time with Daddy when he was first born!  I was in recovery for much longer then we expected so daddy got to hold that tub of love for many hours before we got to put him down somewhere:)

Now Daddy his his little helpers!  They couldn't be happier copying everything daddy does!  He is hoping they continue to love mulching, shoveling snow and picking up dog poop:)  I am sure they will out grow this phase in a few years but for now!  I love to watch it!!!

 Even though you are working... we hope you are having a relaxing Father's Day with no screaming and yelling... well at least none of that from Liam and Emma:)  I can't stop Brandon from doing that!

WE LOVE YOU VERY MUCH and THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU DO!!!

 

Schools Out For SUMMA!!!!

I could go on and on forever about this girl and how much she has changed... Mostly for the good but there is some bad too;) She is a bit more sassy but what little girl isn't???/ Or big girl for that matter!

First picture... we have one sassy hip... 2nd picture double the sass!

Look how much she has grown!!!  The shirt fits about the same but all 3.5 inches she grew from Sept to now is in her legs!!!  Emma grew just about 6 inches between her 3yo appointment and 4yo appointment! 

Emma has grown SO much socially it is crazy!  Everyone told me she would.  I seriously can not get over where she was a year ago and where she is now!  For those of you that know Emma you know what I am talking about!!!  AMAZING the change!!!

Although she really has come out of her shell and has made some GREAT friends she is still super shy around people she is not familiar with.  Once she is around you for a few minutes she shows her true personality... sometimes good and sometimes not so good;)

 

This si truly Emma's personality above!  Smiling and full of joy and laughs!!!  She is so excited but doesn't get she is not going back to school for a few months!  I can't wait to have summer fun with her everyday- Now we just need summer weather!!!

WOW!!!

Today was such a rainy day so we will have to take pictures whenever it stops raining next to the big rock to see how much she has grown compared to that!!!

Getting too big!

This girl has the best of faces! She is very dramatic with her faces!  I can't believe that she is coming to the end of her first school year!  Next year she will go 3 days a week and then it is full day kindergarten.  BLAH.  Our district went to full day this year and I was really hoping they would stick with the 1/2 day for a few more years!!  I am not a fan of full day!

My Buddy is just SO funny Mommy!!  (that would be Liam)

I will have to do her end of the year photo soon to see how much she has grown!!

Smelling all of daddy's flowers!  When we moved in there was NOTHING in the back yard.  It was a blank slate of just grass!  Looks so much better now that there are plants and flowers!  I love it!!!

Memorial Day Parade #2

Today Kim and all the kids and I decided to attempt one of the other local parades. We had never been and heard it is crowded so we were a little worried about where to park but that was easy and we had so much fun!!! The kids loved it. Emma said it was too loud and she liked the smaller parade better but maybe next year she will LOVE it:) Bring on the 4th of July parades next:) We are in summer mode even if it feels like fall!!

This was before it got crowded

This little guy has his signature cough and we only got a few dirty looks

Love this "little" girl!

Aidan truly is the worlds best older cousin!  He is so good with Emma and Liam!!!  He lets Liam get away with murder- which is not ok but Liam thinks it is great!  He has always been so great with Emma!!  Although when he first met her at 5/6 weeks he kept saying her head smelled.... poor Emma:)

Boys will be Boys!

Looks like they were loving each other....

BUT....

 This is how Liam really feels!

He was ok being in the same picture frame though!

SARGE!!!  He came all the way to Camillus from Radiator Springs!!!

Memorial Day Parade

Getting ready for a CHILLY Memorial Day parade!

BRRRRR

The best I got of the cousins:)  Liam was more interested in all the cars that were driving by!

Glad we had the warm fleece blankets from grandma!!

Love this picture!!  Maybe one of these years we will get Ava and Luke here for "The Ville" Memorial Day Parade!! The kids were so happy that Papa could come this year!!  Papa was just as happy... haha!

Delaney, Hadley and Aidan! 

Almost time Buddy!!

HERE THEY COME!!!

The Girls! 

Happy Memorial Day!

Hodge Podge of things and pictures....

This boy can be so sweet....

Looking so BIG!!!!

AND....

He can be so Daring....

 

 Oh Liam!  Apparently it is a better view from the top of the couch!

AND.... He can be MESSY!!!

These two are the best of friends and the worst of enemies within seconds:)

This one cracks me up!  A BUG!!!

The best I got!!

I give up:)

Reading some BIG books!!

It is not CNY without having a frost in May!  Daddy taking care of his little ones:)

 

Lucky me got to have surgery again!  4th one in 18 months!  Hoping and praying I DO NOT need it again this year!  I will have a scan in a few months and that will determine if I will need it again...

This is the worst part but I have had the same girl do the IV the last two times and she is AMAZING!!  I didn't even feel it!

A little trip to see daddy while he was working on the weekend.  We got some new flowers for our house at The Evergreen Mart!

 These two LOVE this little girl!!!  They are going to be so sad when the end of June comes and her mommy and daddy are home for the summer!  I think we will have to schedule some playdates to cure our withdrawl!!!

 

The other night we got hit with a storm.  I had just left the house and came back to no power and a mess in along the way home.  There were lots of down trees and powerlines.  Luckily our house was not hit but it was sad to see all the house that were.  It was nothing compared to what is happening in other parts of the country but our "little" storm was scary for the kids!  I can't imagine what the kids in Oklahoma were/are feeling!!!

Enjoying some time with no "tricity"... luckily the ipad was charged:)

 

I didn't think about getting pictures of the sky until it was too late but thought this one looked pretty neat!  Mother Nature is something else...  80's, storms and snow all in one week;) 

Hopefully she ends playing games soon and brings on summer so these kids can get swimming!!!
