Happy Baby

I think I have the cutest and best baby in the world!

I love being a mom especially in moments like this!

Blue Grass Days

We went to Blue Grass days over the weekend with Janelle's family. It was a good time. It was rainy off and on and completely muddy so there was hardly anyone there. Pat was in the mood for fair food and got his wish! The kiddos rode some rides and the men played some good old carnival games. Here's a few pictures from it. Evelyn loved all the little rides. This surprised me because she's usually a scaredy cat when it comes to this stuff.

This is actually a boy! WTF who wears that. We did not know this boy but if we had I'm sure he a) would not be wearing pants tighter than mine and b) would be crying bc of how bad we would be laughing at him.

Evie on another ride

Janelle and her big Peter. Really Adam what are you going to do with this?!! Notice the baby bump!! We find out what she is having next week! So excited!! She thinks boy. We'll see...

And this is what Emery did the whole time until it was time to go then she got hungry and wanted to eat.

Binky

Oh the dreaded Binky!! Pat and I did not want to use a binky but fell victim to it while she was in the NICU. I will not let us be those parents that let their 3 year old still use a binky. She does not take it all the time just when she is tired and bedtime. Most of the time she spits it out. But I am not writing this post about my hate of binky's I am writting it because I have had 2 funny things said to me about this particular binky in her mouth.

The first funny story comes from Adam- I was sitting in Janelles basement feeding my child keep in mind that I am breastfeeding, when Adam comes through the door. I hurry and cover myself up and get situated and give Emery her binky until Adam leaves. well he sees her and says wow that's a neat binky what do you do just stick your nipple inside it and she eats?!!
Really Adam??!! How large would my nipple have to be to do that?!

Story number 2- Maverick is holding Emery and she is starting to get alittle fussy so I put her binky in her mouth and then go about what I was doing. I go back to where they are sitting a few minutes later bc she starts to fuss again. Well Maverick looks up at me and says " I just dont know what finger I am supposed to put in the hole" Again too funny! He was unable to keep it in her mouth.

This and That

Picnic at the park- Last weekend Pat suggested a picnic at Vanderveer Park. It was really hot but I'm so glad we went. We ended up staying there for over 2 hours I love people watching! We found a huge tree and it wasnt that bad in the shade. Pat decided to take a family photo which does not flatter anyone in it! Oh well!

Emery and Tally. Tally is going to love her when she is alittle older. She likes her now but the love will come in alittle bit!

Look how she is holding me I just love it!

Right after her bath

Her first bath. She didnt make a peep. So far she doesnt mind them.

Memorial day weekend at the cabin. This is unfortunately the only picture I have from that weekend. It wasnt the same with a baby we only went out Sunday instead of the whole weekend because it was way too buggy. The future mr& mrs. Maverick and MaKayla. They are so cute and play so well together.

miss Emery-She is so stinking cute!

Maverick holding Emery. He loves to do this! And when he's had enough he will ask me "Do you want to hold her now?"

Evelyn-I love this picture

My Elvis baby! You can tell she got my lips in this picture

Too Funny

I was babysitting Evelyn and Maverick last week and one morning while I was in the bathroom getting ready Evelyn got ahold of the camera. I dont know how she got it to video but she did! It was super funny when I went back and looked! Check it out for yourself!! You can also see Emery sleeping in her swing in the back ground.
