Emma’s new glasses!

 

She’s had them for a few months now, but I’m just now putting up a picture. It’s taking some time for her to get used to wearing them. I can hardly stand how darling she looks in them! I’m constantly being reminded that my Emma is growing up.

The Cutest Trunk-or-Treaters

 

Ben was Harry Potter this year for Halloween. And I think he was the cutest Harry Potter ever!

 

Spencer was a tough ninja and Emma was the beautiful queen of the Nile. The kids had a fun time trunk-or-treating at the church with Adam while I stayed at home with Sydney.

Sydney dressed up as the cutest baby. :)

How did my baby grow up so fast?

Hah! You all thought I was talking about Sydney. :) Nope. I’m talking about my angel Emma who turned 9 years old a couple of weeks ago. When did she get so big? Emma is such a wonderful girl, and she is a great big sister. Here are some pictures of her birthday party.

Thanks to Uncle Chey for the great books! She had the whole series read      (3 books) in about 2 weeks!

Thanks to Pa and Grandma Martineau for the beautiful shirt and game. Both are being used regularly!

A basketball hoop from Daddy and boots from Mommy, and the boys got her some new markers. Happy Birthday Emma!

It’s Soccer Time!

 

Well, it was soccer time in September. Our YMCA offers Pee Wee Sports for little kids. Each month is a different sport. So in September they offered soccer. Spencer was SO excited. So here are a few pictures of him!

He shoots!

GOAL!

Circle time with coach Katie.

Sometimes Spencer was worn out and needed a quick break.

We  missed out on baseball and football, but hopefully we can get him signed up for basketball in December. He’s an active boy, and it would be good for all of us if he got to play more sports! :)

More baby pictures!

 

Yeah, I finally have more pictures to put up! All of these are from the first two weeks after Sydney  was born.

 

Grandpa and Grandma Fullmer were able to come for a few days when Sydney was a week and a half old. It was SO good to see them! Spencer and Grandpa had some good bonding moments. (I absolutely love this picture! It will always be one of my favorites).

Some day I’ll learn how to edit photos so I can fix Sydney’s glowing eyes. :)

Here we are outside enjoying the nice weather!

My cute Emma!

And Ben lost a tooth. It literally flew out of his mouth when he breathed out one time – and he caught it in mid air! Now that’s talent.

 

And here are just a couple more of Sydney. One while we were outside, and the second one when she was getting ready for a bath. She has been such a good little baby! The kids are getting adjusted to having her here and are very excited that she will start smiling soon!
