Kings Dominion

On Tuesday we embarked on the short journey to Kings Dominion. We arrived Emily had just fallen asleep. As she woke up her eyes got huge and she started yelling I wake I wake! Needless to say I think she likes Kings Dominion. We started of riding rides Emily loves the swings the best, its even true at the park to. After that we went to the splash park and played for awhile. Holly Jason's cousin came by and talked to us, about that time Emily was over the water but Holly got her interested in it again by Emily was copying her in everything she did Holly is a lifeguard at Kings Dominion.

The funny story of the day however was Emily whenever she would walk on the cement she would yell at Hot hot. And demand to be held, well when she was tired of being there she ran away from the water got started screaming cause it was too hot. I love her so much she does what she wants before thinking. After that she made Jason or I carry her over the cement, but she started having fun again and even to the point where she was putting her head under the spray. She is so much fun to play with.

On other good news when we got back from Kings Dominion Max started army crawling across the floor. I think that I am the only one excited though. Emily hates because he keeps getting into her stuff. Now we have to watch him a little closer. I love that he is getting so big.

The beginning of the Fourth of July celebration

So yesterday we celebrated the begnning of the Fourth of July Celebration at our county get together. We did not stay for the fireworks because my chitlins can't quite handle staying up that late. It was a blast though we went with Debbie, Bradley, Luke, and Savnannah. Emily experienced the moon bounce, and bounce maze (hated it got in the middle and just cried). To be honest the best part was all the free stuff. Jason got himself a new rootbeer cup it is tin looking mug. I love it, and I also had cream soda so I was one happy Mamma. We also were able to learn a little about some old games they played back in the day. Emily had fun mostly because she people watched. She was able to see a horse and snake, and other cool reptiles. She one some prizes overall it was a blast and I am glad we went. Here are some pictures of the day. Enjoy!

Having Fun in The Sun

After Jason got off work yesterday we decided to have some summertime fun. We went to the Rappahannock River and went swimming. Now at first glance at the River it is not very pretty, but the combination of the sun, sand and water it makes a great time.
Emily was even able to see some fish. Build a sand castle, destroy and sand castle. She also enjoyed just playing in the sand or getting buckets of water and dumping them on Jason. I don't know who taught her that one.

What are we doing here guys?

Where is all this water coming from?

How much sand can I put in this bucket?

Mom are you coming?

Max was able to enjoy splashing any and everyone that came near him. He had so much fun. We skipped his nap to go, but you could not tell. A smile never left that boys face.

I don't want to go home Mom

This is what Max did most of the Time, but look at his dinosaur hat. He was too focused to even look at  me

Now Jason had a little more of an exciting experience. We were sitting in the deeper part of the water. All of a sudden Jason yells at me to hold Max. I look at him why should I hold both kids. He than says to me again Hold Max a little more urgently. I take Max and think maybe something is biting him. All of sudden he just dives off into the river. I was like what is he doing? Was he that hot? He than grabs a kid who was drowning and brings him back to the shallow part. Ask if he is okay and then lets the kid go. Jason comes back to me and grabs Max like everything was normal. I think the craziest thing about this whole thing is no one noticed what Jason did. What would have happened if Jason would not have been there. Needless to say we were glad we went.

The Afternoon Hero

Well none of my stories could to Jason. I had fun and enjoyed watching Emily play in the sand and water. She is becoming quite the person. So I had to take a picture with she was not all about the picture, but it makes me smile.

Fathers Day!

First I have to wish my hubby a Happy Fathers Day he is such a good Dad to my kids and I am grateful for all he does. For the Fathers day weekend we went to the park exploring Emily loves hiking and exploring she stops every few feet picking up sticks rock and flowers and put them in her pockets or shares with me it was fun. Jason wanted to have dinner just he two of us for Fathers Day so we did we went to Ice Cream afterwards while Debbie baby sat it was nice evening. Today I let Jason sleep in then its off to church we go.



At the Park

 

Second I want to wish my Daddy Happy Fathers day. He has helped me to become who I am today and I am so happy he raised me the way he did. His tremendous faith in the gospel no matter what is going on in his life has been a great example for me. As well as always providing for our family as well as delivering me when I was born, even though the 49ers were playing I think that was quite the sacrifice.

Third I want to wish my father in law Happy Fathers Day! Thanks for making Jason a strong man and willing to work hard. Thank you for the patience you must have had with him when teaching him to work on cars, and fix things around the house. Also thanks for being a great Papa to Emily and Maximus.

Good Times

Check out these kids

Here is a little update on my kids. Max is seventh months old and is almost crawling, he can sit up and eating solid food like a champ. He sleeps a lot better than Emily and is not a fan of the sippy cup yet, but I am trying to convince it is a better option cause it has juice. He love the jumper and could be there for hours, he loves playing with cars, and of course the wipes container.

Emily is two and has a very strong personality She has decided to perform silent protests whens she does not get what she wants. I say go to bed. She lays down in the hallway.She knows her color and loves to read stories to max, she loves to pretend to cook, and loves shopping. I cannot wait until Grandma or Grammy come around so they can take her shopping. You set this girl down in the clothes isle and she will tell you what she wants it is hilarious and frightening at the same time.

Max was wearing so Emily wanted to too

Check out my model. She looks good in white

Look at my new cars

Grandma sent Emily a hat and she likes to wear for pictures

Hey Everybody!

They ride their bikes together

Sometimes they even love eachother

Going to the Farm

A couple of weeks ago we went with Paul, Nan, Ella, and Ammon to visit a farm. We saw cows, pigs, and a pony. Emily's favorite animal was the pig. We had fun especially at Ihop afterward where Emily convinced Paul to give her chocolate pancakes in exchange for bananas.

Max's first Swim

Max went swimming for the first time. He had fun he loved splashing the water. He did not even mind when Emily splashed water all over him. He is seventh months old and growing up so fast. Emily is modeling her new swim suit for us. She liked although she is still a little weirded out she doesn't have on a shirt.
