I'm Nine Months Old!!!

I took Ember to the doctor on the 20th of July and she is doing pretty good. She still does not crawl, but she will turn herself around in a circle on the floor. She weighs 18 pounds and is 29 inches long. 30% for her weight and 90% for her height. I couldn't believe she only weighed 18 pounds 'cause when I hold her it feels a lot heavier. She loves her older brother and gets so excited when she sees him. She loves her milk and is starting to not like her rice cereal anymore. She would much rather eat what I am eating. She loves baby goldfish, puffs, any soft cracker and Popsicles. She smiles at everyone and really loves to see her daddy when he comes home from work. She sleeps from about 9:15 until 7:30. On good days she will still take two nap, but she is getting four teeth on the top so she is kind of crabby lately. She is such a blessing and we can't wait to see what happens next. We love you little Ember loo!!!

Swimming at Chase's Parents Pool

On the fifth of July, Chase and Emilee invited us over to his parent's house to swim in their pool and have a BBQ. Here is the after swimming game. This is Chase and Chad playing. I am sorry but I can't think of what it is called right now!!
Here is Chad and Tayson playing in the water. As you all know, Chad loves to tease Tayson and this night was no exception.
Brice gathered all of the noodles and wanted to float. So here he is with the finished product. Of course right after Chase gave him a blue raft that worked much better.
Here is Maddy enjoying a Cheeto.
This is Aunt Emilee and Ember enjoying the water. It was a little cold for Ember so she did not stay in to long.
This is my little daredevil trying to throw the ball in and then jump in. He even goes off the diving board now.

Riverdale Fourth of July Parade

Every year I drag Brice to the Fourth of July parade in Riverdale. This picture is of my mom, Maddy and Tayson trying to get candy in the road. The only time you can go in the road without getting into trouble. I also believe Amanda is getting the candy to!
Here is Brice all wet from the parade. His ninth grade officers were in the parade and I showed them that Mr. Lythgoe was sitting there and they came and poured a bucket of water on him and shot him with a water gun!!
Here is Emilee with Ember. She wasn't too impressed with the parade.
Here is Maddy and Tayson enjoying themselves. Tayson got so much candy but ate only about two or three pieces. He loves to get the candy just not eat it!!

Tayson Is Five

Here is Maddy playing in the swimming pool on Tayson's birthday. We had everyone over and had pizza and cake and ice cream.
Here is Chase, Emilee, Grandpa Randy and Grandpa John and the back of Gramby head, sorry!!
Here is Grandma and Ember enjoying the party.
Here is Brinlee and Tayson playing in the pool.
They all look so happy to have their picture taken. We have Brice eating some pizza and Kenzie chillin'.
Here is Tayson ready to blow out his candles on his Bumble bee cake that Aunt Kenzie made him. It was an awesome cake. He didn't let us finish singing happy birthday to him before he blew out the candles.
Here is the before picture of the cake before we cut into it. It was awesome. Thanks goes to Kenzie for putting up with me and making it. Tayson had a good day and he got some great things for his birthday such as a scooter, goggles, inner tube, puzzle book, clothes, transformer and croutons!! I know it sounds funny but Tayson loves to eat croutons for a snack, who knew!!
