Jakes Birthday Party

We had Jakes birthday party last weekend. He was super excited to have a Handy Manny birthday cake and that the girls were able to make it for the party.







He got his shirt all muddy and so we took it off and he didn't want to put one back on. I figured that since he was getting some shirts for his birthday we would convince him to put on one of his new ones. just in case someone wonders why he is dressed all the sudden.








Cant believe he is 4!

Happy Birthday Jakers!

Tomorrow Jake will be four. The last year has been great watching him grow and become a big brother. He is always quick to respond to Levi and can usually make him smile. He is a wonderful son and we are lucky that Heavenly Father blessed us with his sweet spirit!

Four things about Jake:
1. He loves Green Beans and is so excited to have Spaghetti, Meatballs, and Green Beans for dinner tomorrow.
2. He is a big help with Levi now that Emilee is in school and plays with him so I can get stuff done in the mornings.
3. He loves tools and fixing things. I have had to screw stuff back into the wall that he has taken off to "fix".
4. He cant wait to be big enough to go hunting with Dad. He wanted to be a hunter for Halloween this year but could not convince Emilee to go as his deer.

Happy Birthday Jake! We love you!

Little Levi

Levi is growing so fast! He goes to the Doctor for his 4 month check at the end of the month and I will post stats when I get them. He is such a great baby! He sleeps from around 10-11ish every nite til around 8 when we wake up to start getting Em ready for school. He is so happy and content too. He does have teeth coming in and is starting to get a little cranky in the evenings but with him being so good thru the day, I am not to worried about it. He is rolling over both ways and loves to find new and exciting ways to sleep!







Love this kid!

Western Idaho Fair

This year we followed thru with our tradition of going to the fair as a farewell to summer. This year was great though knowing that it didnt mean that Will was going back to school, just Emmy.
We picked an evening and took Daniel with us. The kids and I wandered thru all the animals and veggies and crafts while Will and Dan did rides.



I love this one!








The kids really enjoyed the tent with all the information on Idaho Farmers and Ranchers.


After wandering for a while we met back up with Will to check out the petting area.













After the petting zoo the kids went on a few rides to finish out the evening.




I couldnt believe that Jake went on this ride alone. Brave Boy!

Coming soon......

I know it has been a while since I have posted..... Busy as usual with canning and getting ready for hunting season. Lots of pictures are coming. I will try to put some on this weekend so check back.

Nite Glo

Saturday night the Boise Balloon Classic had a nite glo. I remember going to them when the Boise River Festival was still around and hanging out with Mike and Paula and Shelli and watching the balloons. I thought the kids would really like it so we packed a picnic and headed to the park.




We got up at 5 that morning to make it to the launch and Jake crashed in the car and that was it for him.






Starting to set up the balloons

Boise Balloon Classic

Last weekend the kids and I went to the Boise Balloon Classic with our friend Paige and her daughter Ava. The kids had a great time being able to get up close and seeing how big the balloons were. They had a Boise State Balloon too. Go Broncos!

Emmy in Kindergarten

Emmy Started school this year. She is very excited to be in Kindergarten and loves her school. She is going to Christine Donnell, which is a art magnet school. We have been decorating the fridge with lots of cute artwork.
Her teacher is Mrs. Cochell. She is great! Very nice and in control. I cant imagine handling 21 five year olds but she does it well. Emilee seems to really like her. It has been an adjustment sending her off to school each day but it is nice to have a consistent schedule and give me some time to spend with just the boys.



First Day of School










Mrs. Cochell has the kids walk and sing, keep your finger on the wall to keep them all in line so she can moniter who is going where when it is time to go home. It is nice to know that they are keeping such a close eye on my girl. Emmy picked out the outfit for her first day all by herself. She was pretty excited to wear it and she looked so cute!
