Pulling his Stroller

This little guy grabs onto 

the stroller and pull it around.

Brothers!!

Little J loves 

giving his Little brother a ride.

Field Trip

We took a field trip

to an apple orchard.

Fun BIG group!

Cousin Birthday Party

We went to a cousin's birthday party and 

they had face painting. 

The kids had so much fun!

New Park

I read about this park on a friend's blog and it 

looked like a lot of fun.  So over Labor Day weekend

we went with Grammie and cousins.

Big Sister Love

Little Shopper

Little J helped me shop the other day.  He was so sweet following me with his little cart.  He then handed all of his groceries to the store clerk and was telling her about all the items he was purchasing.

He is such a fun kid to have around!!

Seven Months

Baby J turned seven months yesterday.

He is still enjoying showing off his tongue, 

as you will see by the pictures below.

He continues to be our very happy little guy,

however, he is more vocal these days.  He doesn't 

take a pacifier or his thumb (my first baby who 

hasn't taken either).  He is ALL over the place in

his walker and if you lay him on the ground, he does not

stay in one place for long.  He rolls all over.

If you only all could see what is going on behind me 

and the camera.  I am fighting them off to just 

have a picture with Baby J in it.

But I can only hold them off so long

and in comes Little J.  I love how each of these 

pictures below show their personalities.

Little J has to be right on top of Baby.

I like this picture with the BIG smile.  

He had to be touching him.."I hold his hand mom"

Busy Bee is gentle to sit next to her 

Baby brother with a big smile.

Big J adores his Little Brother and I love 

Baby J looking right back with adoration.

And Purple Girl has to try something new.

She can't just sit by him, she has to show 

me that she can stand him up.

Five blessings, all with Five 

different personalities. 

Keeps our days interesting.

Praising the Lord again 

for Baby J and the blessing he is

in our home!

Lots of Love

Little J loves to be affectionate and he is definitely a physical touch guy.  So, since he LOVES Baby J so much, Baby J often receives many hugs like this.

High Heel Saturday Morning

Our sweet little ladies love to wear their high heel shoes.  They were all dressed up on Saturday morning, so I decided to join them by putting my high heel shoes on too.  Why not wear our fancy shoes around the house.  It is fun being a lady!!

Smart Already

It is amazing how smart babies truly are.

This little guy has already discovered how 

to turn our TV on and off.

Daddy was watching a football game and 

Baby J kept going up to the TV to turn it off.

So daddy found a way to stop him-

put the piano bench in front of the TV.

However, it didn't stop this guy from trying

very hard to still turn it off.  He would back up

in his walker, then pick up as much 

speed as he could and reach as hard as he

could to try to turn it off.

Daddy's Home!

Daddy was gone for a week out of the country.  Like always, we miss him so much and can't wait for him to come home.  The kids love making signs and going into the airport to pick him up.

Little J colored a tractor green for daddy.

Lots of excitement when 

daddy arrives and everyone

wants to hold his hand.

Little J found a fun

seat on the way out.

Riding on daddy's 

golf clubs!

We are so thankful to have daddy

home and to be back together again.

Solid Food

This little guy has been enjoying solid foods.

So far he has eaten spinach and peas and seems 

to like them both.

Painting

The kids love to paint!  And Mom loves when we can do it outside and have a bucket of water near by.  These two kids started off so neatly painting a picture.

But what started neatly, quickly turned to this.

They had so much fun though and 

keep asking me when they can paint again.

Purple Girl took her time and 

made a neat picture of 

a parrot.

He has a Reading Buddy

I am used to seeing Big J outside reading a book -

 but it was sweet when Busy Bee wanted to join him.

Homeschool Day at Living History Farms

We went to the Homeschool Day 

at Living History Farms.
