More?

Emma has been signing "more" for a couple months now, but lately she's stopped signing all together and pointing at what she wants. Then when we get whatever it is she's requested, she laughs and nods her head over and over, like Yes!! Finally! You understood me!

Yesterday she forgot about niceties all together - she finished her sippy of milk, walked up to me and threw it at my feet, pointed at the sippy, nodded once and walked away...

But with a face like this, how can I refuse to give her exactly what she wants??

Seriously?

I've always thought Jacob could be my son - seriously - I think he looks so much like our children to me! Those big brown eyes and brown hair - could he be any cuter?! And I love how the babies are both dressed in red and white polka dots! :)

We love the Bronners and had such a great time with them the other night when they came over for dinner!

Camping

We went camping with the Jacobs family this past weekend at Lake Elmore :) So much fun! What a beautiful campground and beach! I would say it's my favorite place to camp so far. The kids were awesome - they got along really well, we didn't have as many meltdowns as I thought we would have with 4 kids and they were so happy to be outdoors and with each other playing at the beach and at our site! We've decided that this will have to be a yearly event! This is the first time we went tent camping with both kids - last year we used our camper. I actually liked tent camping more - we brought Emma's pack and play and Matt, Cadi and I slept on the air mattress. We're going to have to invest in a bigger tent than the one we have - we borrowed Miche and Jimmy's tent for the trip and fell in LOVE!

ps. A HUGE congrats to the Jacobs for the purchase of their new beautiful home!!!

Surprise!

Matt and Miche planned a surprise birthday party for me a few weeks ago! O.M.G. I think it was the best party ever. 80s theme, so they had to tell me 2 days before the party and our friend Lindsey was in town for the party too!! We hadn't seen her since she moved to Arkansas several months ago. I haven't laughed as much as I did that night in a LONG time. Between the outfits, the hair, the "bet" to see who would be able to fit into Acadia and Emma's car (in our defense, there had been quite a bit of alcohol consumed at that point) and the karaoke - it felt like we laughed the moment we started getting ready until we fell asleep. Don't worry - the kids were at Grandma's house - lucky they didn't see mom and dad like this with their crazy friends!

4 square next to a bucket o' beers? Don't mind if I do!


Lindsey was the only one that actually fit in the car! And yes, it took a little while to get her out...

80's karaoke is always a good idea!

Love them!

Look at Miche and Melissa's face! I wouldn't want to mess with those bad asses!

Don't hate on us, just because you're jealous of our leggings!
