Emma & Baby Tessa

Emma absolutely adores this little one. She loves to hold her, kiss her, and help take care of her. This day we didn't have Brooklyn (she had gone to the dentist and spent the afternoon with her mommy) or she'd be in these pics, too. I'm so glad they all get along so well. 

This picture of Emma reminds me of her cousin Emily. It's fun to see when my kids resemble one of their cousins. 

Cute Tessa!! She's waving at her favorite Auntie Stef. :)

I just like the way...

... Emma holds her spoon. :)

Corbin J.

12/11/10

It's no surprise that Corbin is a sports fanatic. He has been begging his Dad for a long time for a real set of football pads. The mean Mom says no (do you know how expensive these things are?!?!); however, we found this set while dropping a load off to the D.I. They were sitting out there just begging for us to buy them, so we did...

And he couldn't be happier!!

They're rather large, but that doesn't bug him. He'll grow into them, right? :)

Corbin had his first practice of Junior Jazz basketball this night. I asked him how he liked it and he replied "I bit my knee." How in the world do you bite your knee??

"Like this."

Annual Coloring Contest

Daddy, Marley, & Corbin delivering pictures in town.
This is a fun tradition we have. The kids look forward to it every year!

Just one of the many pictures they colored.

This was out at the nursery in Elwood. They sell real Christmas trees and it smelt sooo good out there. Very pretty, too. It makes me think that next year I will want a real tree from this place. 

Their cute sucker prizes for coloring the pictures for the Mountain View Nursery. 

a little piece of Emma

She's hiding, that's right, hiding. I'm sure that is the Shrek movie on her lap. 

 12/7/10

Watching Shrek with her baby on her lap. 

She was actually dressed that day, she just found those pant/shorts that she loves so much. Yes, seriously, they're 0-3 months. 

12/9/10

She is such a helper. This is her "job". Whenever anyone takes the garbage out she quickly gets to work putting the sack in the garbage. She's so proud. 

Such a big helper!!

Napping. Doesn't look comfy to me so I did lay her down after the picture. 

Sunday fun!

Our kids love to draw, it makes me so happy to have creative little kids. It's also fun to see their imaginations in their creations. 

Marley drew the family wearing Colts horse shoes.  Tink is "hairy" on the bottom right. I should have taken a close up of her picture. 

Corbin drew Emma on that day, the bow in the hair and everything. Emma thought this was pretty cool. 

"Emma"

Emma is just funny. She put these pants on that she wore when she was a brand new baby. They still fit, only now they're Bermuda shorts. She thinks it's pretty cool. And there is Bubba in the back drawing. 

Such good kids!

the Lolly-Pop game

12/2/10

"I rock at this game!" Marley says. 

Here's how it works. You take your index finger and circle it around someones face (no need to touch the face) saying "Lolly, lolly, lolly," then you clap directly in front of the face at the same time saying "POP!" The person who blinks at the "POP" looses. Seems simple enough, right?

Well this particular day right before Kindergarten Marley had her Daddy and I laughing pretty hard. She is SO entertaining. Here are some pics of Marley playing the Lolly-Pop game... first with herself, when she rocks. I have the picture to prove it. 

"Lolly, lolly, lolly..."

"POP!" See? Eyes, open. She does rock!... until she plays with Daddy...

"Lolly, lolly, lolly..."

"POP!" Looks like Daddy won this one.

I love her face in this last picture. I love her dimples, she's so cute!
