August & September 2012

 These were two of my favorite outfits on them!  They coordinated, which is always lucky!  Tommy is wearing turtles and Emmy's is flowers.  I am always worried they are cold with the AC blasting so I never let their little shoulders go bare.  I'm kind of funny like that!  They wear a onesie under their shirt for the majority of the year.
 I love this tutu swim suit!  Emmy's pale white skin in it is even sweeter.  Check out those yummy thighs!

 This picture makes me laugh every time I look at it!  Emmy had just awakened.  She and Erica look so hilarious and long in this picture!  These two have a special little bond.

 This is Erica and Savvy, her cousin.  They had a sleepover here.  This is that awesome kid makeup that permanently dyes your skin!  I scrubbed and scrubbed and they were still pink!  They had fun!
 Here are Bryant and Solomon with the girls.  Solomon is Savvy's sister.  They spent the morning acting out funny jokes and plays for me.  I recorded them and will have to edit and post some of that later.
 1st day of school!!!!  Erica is a big 3rd grader and Bryant is a big 1st grader!  They love their teachers this year, I am so grateful.  I must say that I am so grateful that these two get along so well.  When they were younger I remember saying that they had a love hate relationship but now, they almost never fight.  Sometimes they argue and once in a while they will fight but it really is rare!  They are so different and I think that helps them get along.  Mike and I are always saying that they will each marry someone like the other one some day.  I love it when I overhear these two laughing, and they can really get going!!
 Erica is having a great 3rd grade year.  I think she's the smartest girl in the class!  She played a fall season of soccer and improved dramatically.  It was like a magic year for her in soccer.  She will start basketball and skiing lessons after Thanksgiving.  She has been playing the piano all year as well and is doing great!  She is learning a hard duet with Bryant of "Silent Night".  I can't wait to hear it all together and perfect.  Erica continues to be the most responsible child I know.  I can't get over how much she helps me because she is so on top of it!
 Here's my handsome Bryant!  He is also having a great year.  At the beginning of 1st grade his reading level was at 2nd grade.  I was so proud of him!  He also started piano lessons at the beginning of the school year and has done so much better than I ever thought he would!  He loves piano lessons and practices so well.  I have to sit down with him a lot still, but that is to be expected at the beginning.  He is going to play basketball this winter and hopefully indoor soccer in January.  He loves making new friends and making us all laugh. 
 Oh my, could she get any cuter!?!!?  That smile melts us all.  This is after her first haircut.  I use to put it up in little holders with bows but now she has hit the stage where she pulls it all out.  It doesn't matter how tight I put it in, out it comes!  At least her head is covered in cute curls!!!
 Oh, baby!
 I had to get this leg shot because even though Emmy is truly only one inch taller than Tommy her legs are like 5 inches longer!!!  Tommy's legs look normal, but hers look soooo long!  This proves it!  I know Tommy will be taller than her one day, but his legs may never be longer than hers!
 Emmy had to wear Tommy's pjs to bed because I needed to do laundry!  She looked so cute in these green jammies with her red red hair we had to get a pic!  We all thought she looked like little leprechaun!
 Whenever Tommy is drinking his milk from his sippy cup he always gets his hair and hold onto it.  He doesn't seem to pull it, just play with it and hold onto it.  He is so consistent about it that it's really cute!
Emmy's moon shaped eyes make me laugh!  She couldn't smile any bigger!  Tommy's face makes me want to kiss it!
 The other day Tommy got a bag of powder sugar opened!  Boy was he ever proud of himself and happy about handfuls of sugar to eat!  It was really cute!  I just laughed.
 Here he is enjoying himself thoroughly.  Nummy num!
 I came over and to him and said "Tommy" and he stood right up.  Then I smiled and laughed so he sat back down, right on top of another bag of powder sugar, it was the cutest.  It's like he thought he was in trouble but when he saw me smile he relaxed and went back to his fun.  He had a huge drink of water after I cleaned him up from all that sugar!
 Bath time fun!  Emmy's hair was too long to spike up.  These two munchkins love love their bath.  Tommy is big into the splashing!!  Doesn't his face say it all?!
 Ohhhhh, little love!!  That's the cutest face I've ever seen on him!  I could stare at this one all day!
 These two love to snuggle in the morning.  Don't they look happy about it!?
 This is what I did to Bryan't hair in a rush on crazy hair day.  As soon as I was done he ran to the bathroom and combed it all down.  Oh well!  He went with normal looking hair.  He is a kid with his own agenda and never cares if what he does is different.  I spent a lot of time on Erica's hair and it looked awesome and somehow I did not get a picture of it!!!!! AHHH! Darn!
 Two naked J-birds after bathtime!
 I had to include this picture because it's so typical of how they play together.
These two peas in a pod could not be cuter and funner!!!  They're a handful in public and busy busy at home but watching them and playing with them makes me sooooo happy! I am thank my Heavenly Father every single day for my kids.
