The bear

We got this bear when Alestair was a baby and have held onto it. Emmett has decided it is his and loves to hold and cuddle it.

How Emmett likes to spend his time.

Emmett has been a challenge for me. After the easiest baby ever, its a bit hard to have a baby who wants to be held and nurse all the time. Not that I don't completely love holding and nursing him or that I would take him back and ask for another. I truly love him to bits. I love things that he does differently than Alestair like how amazing his eye sight is and how he completely lights up the moment he sees me walk in the room. I love how he has learned he can spit with his tounge and how he tries to say mama and dada. I love how he is way more content to not do everything on his own and how he would be happy if he were moved everywhere all day instead of having to crawl or walk ever. But still he has been harder. He takes a bit more time than Mr. Independace (Alestair). However it is hard since Alestair now needs help with writing or learning or something. Anyway sometimes I need a break. So when Robert gets home I will give him Emmett and Robert has found that although Emmett is not happy about this situation after about 15min that there is a way around the fussiness. Its called the computer and a site called kneebouncers.com. It also helps with Alestair. They have number and letter games and the boys can press nearly every button and not do anything wrong. As you see. Emmett gets really into it.

Sleeping Boy

the Man stuff

Robert and some friends were looking at guns and Alestair could not handle staying out of the room with the girls so he got his first safety lesson. NO our guns are NOT loaded or stored in and unsafe manner.

Butler Camping Trip

We had reserved a camping spot in Janurary and found out that we could have eight people there. So we went with friends and Dave and had a wonderful time! Anabel and our friends dog Sophie had probably the best time they have had in a long time. They got dirty and were fed sasauge and other lovely things. We were even visited by some racoons that gave Anabel something to protect us from. 2 adult racoons and 2 babies. They came to eat the dog food that Anabel refused for the good stuff. Dave, Robert and Jake were able to go to the peir to crab and actually caught 3 for us to eat! Alestair and his friend Maddy loved being able to run around and get dirty and play in the water. While Emmett, Tina and I were able to relax and run after Alestair and Maddy. It was the best vacation we have taken in some time and will be going again soon!

Howarth Park

It was one of those blazing hot Sundays and some friends asked if we would like to go to the beach. Thinking it had to be cool there (its near water right?) we went. It was not cool but still blazing hot. Sooo we did not stay long but had a great time! It was very pretty and all three boys (Adam, Emmett, and Alestair) had a good time being outside. Yes I did pack both boys on me down the spirl staircase to get on the beach. Yes it was hard.

Alestair and Mom Time

I bought a pool while in Klamath Falls and set it up for the day while Alestair was sleeping. When he got up and Emmett went down for a nap Alestair and I played in the pool. it was a lot of fun. I love being able to see how much he has learned. He talked a lot about things while we dried off.

Alestair was thanking all of the cars going by with his "Dank Do"
