Fun at the Fair

This year the fair was especially fun. Emmi was at an age where she loved seeing the animals. She could tell you all the sounds the animals make. In fact she poked a goat in the eye and somehow the goat didn't retaliate and bite. She didn't seem scared at all.



Emmi even got to ride a pony with Grandma Jill. LUCKY!!!



My favorite was THE BIG YELLOW SLIDE!!!! We got a picture at the top of the stairs that overlooked the city.



Look right behind me....."I think I could have been murdered just then" quote by Conan....The dude looks like a convicted felon.

The highlight of the night was....
LITTLE HANDS ON THE FARM
Emmi loved pretending she was a little farmer. She got to feed a cow and even pretend milk it. She picked apples, planted and picked vegetables. She did so much work she got money to spend at the country store. She got an apple and worked on it for the remainder of the evening.







Hooray....for our Future Farmers!!!

We will for sure make the fair a yearly activity. Maybe next year we should try the fried twinkie, or maybe the fried PB&J sandwich. You gotta love the FRIED EVERYTHING at the fair.

Lucy's Birth

Today I am going to sit down and take the time to journal Lucy's birth story.  My feelings are still so fresh and I want to remember my experience forever.  When I found out I was pregnant with Lucy I had feelings of apprehension and fear.  I wasn't ready for another baby nor was Brian to say the least.  I actually kept the news to myself for weeks, till I could no longer keep it to myself.  I knew that I had to keep working to keep the family afloat and if there were any complications we could not survive without my income.  Lots of prayers were said to keep this baby inside me so I could take care of our family and house.  To say the least my prayers were answered and this was the most smooth sailing pregnancies yet.  I was able to work part-time and at the end go full-time, and actually Brian and I were able to travel to Europe for 2 weeks when I was 24 weeks pregnant. Sweet! Since the day I told Brian I w...

I have "KIDS"

So, I find myself tripping out at the thought that I now have 2 kids. I was completely freaking out before baby Jack arrived due to the fact that I feel like Emmi is a handful and I can't imagine doubling that work. To get myself to calm down I would just tell myself, "everyone does it, right?" Well, to say the least it hasn't been a breeze so far. I am handling the baby fine. Yeah, some sleep deprivation, but Emmi has been a complete "2 year old" nightmare. I believe she is loving her baby brother, although she thinks that smothering, hitting, poking, jumping near his head, yelling in his ear, and collapsing to the floor everytime she doesn't get her way at that moment seems to be a good way to get attention. YIKES!!! My patience is wearing thin. I would LOVE any advice on handling two kids and most importantly handling a 2 year old with a new sibling. This is innocent Emmi loving her brother at the moment

Reality Check

Holy Cow.......Brian and were just relaxing on the couch enjoying some Christmas music, our Christmas tree and lighted mantle with the stockings hanging.  We had a reality check when we saw 5 stockings hanging.  We are almost a family of 5.  Wow.......pinch me!  We are getting so excited to welcome our newest 5th member of the family. It's amazing what two people can accomplish in 10 years.
