Fun at the Fair

By
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.

Baby JACK JONES!

By
We showed them didn't we Jack? As I said in my last post I was going to tell the hospital that Jack wanted to be born on May 20th regardless of what they say. My last post was written on May 20th at about 7:45 p.m. While writing the post I did feel some stronger contractions but since I had been contracting all day I really just ignored it. Until I published my post and started walking around. They immediately started coming 3 minutes apart and I had to breath through them. Brian was putting Emmi down to sleep, but I barged into the room and said we need to go to the hospital fast. I called Eric and Kelley to take Emmi and in no less than 5 minutes we were out the door. Emmi couldn't have been more thrilled. Off for a sleep over with her cousins. Driving to the hospital was the longest drive possible. The contractions were coming so fast. I was a contortionist in the passenger seat while gripping Brian's thigh everytime a contraction hit. Brian dropped me off in the round a...

Family Pics!!!

By
It's that time again for family pictures for the good ol' Christmas card. I always hate doing this, but you know you just got to do it. It took me weeks to get together everyones outfits. I stewed and stewed about where I wanted the shoot and what style I was looking for. I hired this amazing photographer and I am for the first time extremely impressed of how things turned out. Here are a few sneak peeks! Emmi was handing out fake smiles and frowns the entire shoot. I can't tell you how hard it is to get everyone with their smiles on in one photo. I think that our little Jack stole the show. He was by far the cutest in every photo. P.S. Oh yeah..... I completely CHOPPED my hair. It's been a little hard to adjust to, but a good change.

Happy St. Raggy's Day!!!

By
Wow.....can you believe that it has been 4 years since the day Ragnar Birkeland came to us for a quick visit? It is such an easy day to remember since it is on St. Patricks Day. We have now renamed the holiday in honor of our little boy to St. Raggy's Day. If any of you don't know the story behind the name RAGNAR....well....you may think we are kinda mean parents. But believe me it fits. It always is a good day to remember what we have to look forward to when we see the little dude again. I do feel like it is a little blessing to always have that excitement to raise a child we do not know in the next life. I can't wait to see what little personality he has, and to see my love grow for him. I am sure he is up there now giving our new little boy some pointers on how to deal with us. Hopefully "Jack" is taking the pointers to good heart. So, you are all probably wondering if that is the name of our new baby boy. Well, we have been throwing around multiple names, bu...
