Sweet Corn on the Farm

We went up to Red Oak a couple weekends ago for some sweet corn- it's literally all we eat for lunch. It's awesome. The girls were on board.

Saturday night we just sat outside and hung out. The girls, in their diaper and underwear for some reason. I love how laid back things are on the farm.

We all really were having fun, I swear. :)

Emerson got some practice shucking corn.

The Dentist

Last week the girls had a checkup- it was Easton's first. I love this place and Emerson has a great time going. They've got it down to a science- toys in the waiting room, tv's on the ceiling, tokens for prizes, princess stickers and toothbrushes and a slushee machine. I kind of want to see if they take adults.

Emerson is such a good girl and did awesome.

Checking out the tv.

Easton passed the time pushing a chair up and down the hallway.

The doctor pointed out a 5th tooth poking through so she'll be chomping on a ribeye in no time.

Our July

We had a movie night (we're having them more and more with Emerson's growing obsession with anything princess) and brought out the girls' chairs. Easton won't quite sit still which irritates her older sister when she's trying to concentrate...

...so she and I play.

This is her angry face. Priceless.

Ryan has been baking with Emerson sice she's been tiny so I got her her own apron which she thought was pretty cool. She made muffins the other morning and the only thing Ryan did was measure out the water. She did a great job and was pretty proud of herself.

The before...

...and after.

Can you tell what we've been doing a lot of? Can you tell what Easton's swim suit looks like? I swear I'm putting 50 block on her but she is my brown baby.

Emerson and me before our Cinderella date night. We went to Red Robin and Starlight. It was the first time we had done something like that since Easton's been born- it was awesome. She's already asked when we can do it again. Not soon enough.

Aloha!

Our good friends Jen and Chad Cross had their annual Luau this past weekend- it's always a blast and they throw the best party. I remembered a time pre-k (pre-kids) when we used to bring Phoebe. I decided to dig out the pictures from that luau.

                           





Dear God.

Someone should have told us.

Ryan and I were trying to figure out what year it was and he guessed two-thousand and fat. Seriously. I took these to Sunday Night Dinner last night and the nicest thing anyone could say was, well, were you pregnant?

Absolutely not.

Not even married yet.

I digress. On to 2011 and my beautiful children...

Emerson at the luau in 2009.

Easton in 2011. Ha!

Awesome... This is her angry face.
                             

And that's an ax in her hands.

Best. Day. Ever.

Last weekend I got to relive 1989 and 1999 all over again- I went to the New Kids on the Block/Backstreet Boys concert with 5 of my best girlfriends. SO fun. We stayed out and I went home the next day to two very excited girls and a clean house.
Best. Husband. Ever.

Kelly (Reiff) Yoder, Nicole (the Fish) Fisher, Stacy (Reiff) Bullcoming, moi, Katie (Mac) Hoyt and our newlywed, Jocelyn (Lavender) Gaddie. 

It's nice to know that after almost 10 (!) years and 9 (!) kids we can all still get together and have fun like its 1999.

Best. Girlfriends. Ever.

Merry Christmas...

Cole and Sarah came down for Emerson's dance recital and had made some pretty cute shirts for them to wear...

Ha! Sarah's due on Christmas Eve and is already 17 weeks along. We're so excited for them and are looking forward to spoiling this baby rotten. What fun these kids are going to have growing up together.
