"Bubble"

Emy has only been in Mom's tub one other time with me and the jacuzzi jets were on! Last night I put Emy Grace in my tub WITHOUT the jets and this is what transpired....

First time she has ever said "bubble".....

AFTER THE BUBBLES CAME ON...

Emy Enters Nursery

I suppose it pays to serve in Primary.....because we were able to let Emy go to nursery a month early. She was sooooo ready. Had NO problem whatsoever leaving Dad, sharing toys, listening to instructions and even singing! The nursery leaders couldn't get over how "mature" she was and how much fun she was to play with. No surprise to us, though, we know how FUN she is~~ Way to go Emy, we are proud of you!

Here are some pictures before heading to church. She was actually "posing" for the camera. Are we creating a little "diva" or what???? Oh! And she does actually have hair....I am just excited that I can pull it back in pony tails so I take any opportunity I can to do it, plus she LOVES to have her hair fixed!

Grasshoppers Win the Championship Title

Saturday was Jackson's "championship" game for the season. His team, the Grasshoppers, were undefeated this season and had the best record of any team out there. We were really proud of Jack's efforts and for not giving up when he hit a slow streak. We love you Jackson!

Getting ready for the BIG GAME

One last pep talk for the team


Getting ready to run to 2nd



I missed "the hit", but got the run to 1st...




Cooling down after a HOT, HOT game in the sun!



The end of the season party! The reason we play....the trophy & team ball!!




Mitchell was just as excited for his little brother's trophy

Emy has "Jackson" Genes

Okay, funny story.....one of the things I remember from my youth about my Mammaw Jackson is this quirky little noise she would make at me when she would tuck me in the bed at night. It sort of freaked me out a little, but it was "her" thing and she thought it was a riot.



Skip to today--I was videoing Emy walking down the stairs yesterday and lo! and behold! IT WAS THE NOISE!!!!! It freaked ME out, but it was quite an accomplishment for Emy Grace. So, there you have it! Emy has Jackson family genes....right down to the creaky-door-make-me-squirm-before-bed noise!!!!

Happy 10th MJ

Mitchell turned 10 on the 7th of July and it was his turn for a big party. So, 14 boys later and a lot of racing, swimming, pushing, splashing AND eating we had succeeded at the party of the year!!!

The birthday breakfast!!!!

Look who joined in in the fun and figured out how to swim all on her own!!



Of course, we had to have a CANNONBALL CONTEST!!




Maddie & Jack's "team" Jump!!

San Diego & the 4th of July

Last week Kevin & I went to San Diego for a long weekend---boy, did we need it! It was the first time I have left Emy for that amount of time and I was a little nervous. Susan & Colby flew in to watch the kids and for some fun in Colorado. Kevin and I enjoyed the cold beach of Del Mar, shopped, did the "spa thing" & ate some amazing mexican food!

It was nice to see the San Diego Temple, too. What a beautiful place!



When we returned from our trip we loaded up the car the next morning and headed to the mountains with Susan & Colby. They all went White Water Rafting for about 14 miles! I'll have to post that picture later when we get it in the mail--you won't believe it! Jackson even went and hung on for dear life! After the rafting we visited the Hot Springs pool and rode the alpine slide. It was such a fun 4th with some of our family.




Emy's first ice cream cone!

Cub Camp 2007

Mitchell & I attended Cub Scout Camp and got to do a lot of cool things! We learned about trees, rocks, knots & animals. Mitchell learned how to load and shoot a wrist rocket, bb gun & bow. His favorite was the bb gun--he got a bullseye every single time! We have 12 boys in our Pack....definitely the cutest boys at the camp!!! Enjoy the pictures!
