Buddies

Jackson and Charlotte are like brother and sister. They can't live with each other and they also can't live without each other. One day they are each other's biggest fan and the next day they are each other's worst enemy. We like to take pictures when they are loving each other like this one on the way into the zoo last week.

Bed Time photos

Some of my favorite times are right before bed when the kids are in their jammies and settling down for the night....

Jackson has always been a thumb sucker....BUT only when his blanket is around at bedtime and naptime. Tyler bit the bullet the other night and talked Jackson into sleeping without the blanket and end the thumb sucking once and for all....and it worked. Our little boy is now a big boy at night without his blanket or his thumb.

Chilly Day at the Park

We met Jamie and kids at the park a few weeks ago. Liam is getting to be such a flirt!

I love this picture of Liam! He is such a happy baby!

Emily has started saying CHEESE for every picture so therefore, every picture looks like she is saying cheese!

Riding Horses at the Farm

Jackson and Emily got to go on horseback rides at their cousin's farm the day after street fair. Emily loved her first ride on the "neigh"

Street Fair September 2010

Another year, another street fair in our hometown of Bluffton! We went with Jamie and the kids and Heather and Todd and family. Emily loved the slide. I think we went up the stairs and down the slide at least 5 times.

The carousel is a favorite!

Jack and Griffin are buds

Charlotte and Jackson going for a joyride...

Liam, 10 months taking in the sights and sounds of his first street fair

Same stroller and same little girls as last year. Piper and Emily didn't last long in the stroller this time.

Halloween at the Camper

We've already had a Halloween trial run. The campground does a trick or treating from camper to camper for the kids. Emily did not like her lady bug wings or antennae. Jackson didn't have his costume for this year yet so we just did the Notre Dame Football player again.

Camping and Pig Tails

Emily is now sporting pig tails! She looks so much older with her hair done! Enjoying one of the last weekends in the camper before we trade it in on a new one in the spring

On The Move

Jackson loves driving his Jeep. He has really become a good driver. 13 years from now they could be in a real car driving around....scary!

Neighborhood concert

We went with Jamie and Tim at the end of August to a concert in their neighborhood. The kids ran around and we got Charlotte and Jack to pose for some pictures.

Tennessee Vacation

We went in August on a week long family vacation with Jamie and Tim and family, Mom, and Josh and Amanda. Keeping the boating tradition alive!!

Jumping off the boat platform at the dock

Charlotte and Jackson riding the tube. One minute later they were almost asleep!!

Uncle Tim and the kids

Hopefully they get their brains from their mom...just kidding around with dad!

Floating in the lake...enjoying using our lifejackets as diapers!

Random Kid pics

Emily loves that Liam can sit up and crawl. She loves to talk to him and play with him.

Charlotte is the first person Emily asks for when we see Jamie's family. She loves her "LaLa" which is what she calls Charlotte.

Playing at the campground with cousins Parker and Allison. We love having them at the camper.

These two play together really well most of the time. I love the way that Emily is looking at her big brother in this picture.
