Sunday night birthday dinner for Grandma Judy. Emerson and Jakob were the comic relief for the photo shoot.

May 22, 2010

Today we went to Hannah's friend Jacob's last tee-ball game. Seeing as though it was a baseball game, Hannah felt it necessary to wear a hat. She was pretty darn cute cheering on her little friend.

May 20, 2010

There is a farm under the trestle that we get a kick out of driving by. It's a nasty, gross, horrible looking farm, but we love to watch the pigs slop around.

May 19, 2010

She found the lotion. Enough said.

May 18, 2010

Hannah drew Mr. Kusler a picture. She happily came home from school telling me that he put it in a frame and put it on the shelf. She was so proud of her picture.

May 17, 2010

Poor Emerson has been suffering with a nasty sinus infection for the last few weeks. The Dr. said it would be a good idea to pick up some diaper cream when I pick up the prescription. Apparently it is some nasty medication.

May 16, 2010

A cloudy start to a beautiful day at the beach. We packed the pail and collected lots of treasures, including a doll arm. :)

May 15, 2010

The girls had fun bathing in the sun and sand at Damon Point. What a beautiful day!

May 14, 2010

It was such a treat to arrive at the ocean to this beautiful weather.

May 13, 2010

This picture is from our outing after the potluck, but this face is a face I see every single day! I love it!

May 12, 2010

Hannah's class had a potluck tonight. The kids sang a few songs and danced a couple dances. From left to right: Sam, Hanna, Abigail, Hannah & Makyla. Hannah is really going to miss Makyla next year when she goes to another school. She is her "BFF" and the two of them CRACK me up! I love that they're holding hands.

May 11, 2010

Playing outside usually includes lots of squeals...especially when Tom finds worms and tries to get the girls to hold them. Aubrey, Emerson, Hannah

May 10, 2010

With Tom home from work sick, which he never does, I knew I would be needing the heavy duty cleaners. My house smells so clean.

May 9, 2010

Another wonderful Mother's day, with the exception of Tom having the flu. The girls and I spent the afternoon with my mom and sisters at Becky & Rob's house. The weather was absolutely gorgeous.

May 8, 2010

We went to Brittany's softball game tonight. The game started at 7:30. We left during the second inning at 8:45 with a score of 11 - 4. Susan sent me a text at 10:30 letting me know that the game was just getting over and they won with a final score of 24 - 4. CRAZY!!

May 7, 2010

The Walker girls all got their hair cut today. Emerson barely got anything taken off but she thought she was pretty cool.

May 6, 2010

Aubrey came over to play today. These two love to watch the fish swim. I think I've mentioned before, but they are SO cute together. :)

May 5, 2010

Cinco de Pudding...er...Mayo.

May 4, 2010

Someone just learned how to snap. Snapping is all she does now. Snap. Snap. Snap. I love it. :)

May 3, 2010

Nap time, one of my favorite times of the day. Usually I snuggle up with my little monster, but today she put herself to sleep.

May 2, 2010

Oh. my. word. I'm in LOVE with this show. I didn't start watching it until a bunch of ladies at work suggested it to me. They told me to give it a few episodes before giving it the axe. After the first episode I was hooked.

May 1, 2010

Today we went to an auction for Monroe Christian School (Madison & Jacob's school). We left with $20 in Target gift cards, an iPod shuffle and an itunes card. Tom and I had a really good time, I'm sure the free lattes had nothing to do with it. :) I hope we'll be invited again next year.

April 29, 2010

Earlier on in the week, Hannah came home from school with one of these fortune teller things. I had so much fun with these when I was little. It's fun to see Hannah enjoying things I enjoyed. So far I'm going to have lots of fun this summer, I'm going to do well in school and I will sing and dance with Mr. Kusler. :)

April 28, 2010

We have a special place we put Emerson's binkies (aka Mo) when she's not using them. This green bowl (my favorite) has become a binky catch all. Out of the entire bowl there are only 3 or 4 that she actually likes. I'm quite certain we are going to have a much harder time breaking her of them than we did Hannah. She LOVES her Mo. Oh, what have we done?! :)

April 27, 2010

Part of my Chiropractic treatment includes a massage every other week and that is fine by me. Too bad they are only for a half of an hour. Kind of a rip off. :)

April 26, 2010

Emerson has such a unique way of swinging. Her bottom never touches the seat, only her upper back. Strange, strange girl. :)

April 25, 2010

We spent the morning with the Pohl's before heading home. Grace and her friend Rachelle are in to jumping pictures. I had them all jump for me. I think out of the 750 pictures I took 2 weren't blurry. :) Tom is pretty impressed with his "hops".

April 24, 2010

The main purpose of our trip over the mountains was surprise party for Nana. We love you!

April 23, 2010

Once again, too many pictures from a short weekend in Spokane so I'm spreading them out. We headed out to the Base for a school carnival. Tom got really excited when Eddie suggested we take two cars, one of them being the Jeep. Even though it was a little chilly, Tom thought it was pretty cool. :)

April 22, 2010

Emerson LOVES that Aubrey is back and living next door. We missed them while they were in California, but are so glad that her and her mom, Tiffany, are back.

April 21, 2010

Family game night.

April 20, 2010

Oh baby! I've been going to the Chiropractor for the last few months. I initially went in for my lower back, but then my neck decided that it wanted some attention. My neck has been so sore and stiff that Dr. Wilson decided to try this out. I'm not really sure what it did, but after 4 days it felt a bit better. I just hope it's not something she wants to do very often. Can you say Sexy? :)

April 19, 2010

Hannah stayed home from school today with a fever. This is how I found them when I came out to tell them it was time for lunch. That's normal for Emerson, but not so much anymore for Hannah. I knew she wasn't feeling well.

April 18, 2010

Another beautiful Spring day outside with Daddy. This time they were on the hunt for worms.

April 17, 2010

We got to "meet" Ree Drummond...aka...The Pioneer Woman today. She called Tom a "younger, handsomer version of Philip Seymour Hoffman". He heard "handsome" and stopped listening...his girlfriend called him handsome. =)

April 16, 2010

A simple sentiment of how the girls and I are feeling today. A great big Hoo-Ray for Tom being home. After we picked Hannah up from school we played outside until the sun went down. It was a good day.

April 15, 2010

A beautiful way to put an end to a long tax season. JJ & I took the kids up to Mount Vernon to walk through the tulips. Seriously beautiful - made my day. Well, that and that it was the last day of tax season. Woo Hoo!

April 14, 2010

One of the shower gifts I received when I was pregnant with Hannah was this cute "bobble" cow and a "bobble" pig. The pig didn't quite make it, but this cow certainly has. It makes me laugh every time I look at it. There is just something about that face.

April 13, 2010

Emmie is always sneaking my coffee, she loves coffee. That would explain why she's kissing the cup.

April 12, 2010

Jacob came over to play today before school. I tried to sneak a picture of the popcorn mess that Emerson made, but these two had other plans for my picture.

April 11, 2010

Baby shower time! Baby "Sven" will be making his arrival around the 1st of June and we couldn't be happier for Heather & Jeff!

April 10, 2010

So I missed Friday. Oh well. Tom's last Saturday of tax season and it was a beautiful day. I almost felt bad for him having to work. The girls played (fought over) on the swing for most of the afternoon.

April 8, 2010

Nana was in town again for the night so we met her at Azteca for dinner. It's always a treat to see Nana. Throw in some fried ice cream and you've got yourself a GREAT day.

April 7, 2010

Tom got his cookbook back today. He was happy to have it back in his possession. Beck sent it to PW to have her sign it along with hers and a book for the Monroe Christian School auction. Too bad we just found out she'll be in town in a few weeks for a book signing.

April 6, 2010

Although Hannah denies doing it, someone felt the need to profess her love for Jacob G in the window sill. Who knew Emerson was so advanced in her writing skills.

April 5, 2010

The girls made off like a bandit with the Easter bunny. They didn't get much candy in their baskets but the eggs were something else. I have a feeling that I'll be taking this stash to work to share with the office. The two of them raked in over $45 in change! I'm definitely taking part in the egg hunt next year! Watch out girls!

April 4, 2010

Happy Easter!

April 3, 2010

Tom bought these flowers for me. He knows how much I love my Gerbera daisies. I think he was happy to have us home. :)

April 2, 2010

One of our stops was to Mary Kay's (Tom's aunt) house. It was fun for the girls to see more of their cousins...even if it was just for a short time. The only one missing is Oliver, who belongs to Tom's cousin Gina, and they live in Alaska.

Olivia & Laila belong to Tom's cousin Stashia, Hannah, Emerson, Mary Kay who is holding Jackson who belongs to Tom's cousin Joel and then Jakob and Alex.

April 1, 2010

I can't get enough of these two. Emerson loves "Bob". I couldn't resist this picture. Emerson was so intrigued with Daisy and her peanut butter filled toy.
