Pool party

Amber invited us over for a pool party last Wednesday. It was a fun way to cool down on such a hot day. I don't know why I call it a pool party...Emily didn't want anything to do with the pool. We just sat in her chair or played in the sprinklers. Thanks Amber for a fun day!!

Anna has the cutest smile and I'm excited that she's starting to smile alot more often.

Jett wasn't very interested in the pool either...he just walked around with his ball.

Jenna and Halle...everyone thinks they're twins. They are so beautiful and so much fun!

My baby isn't a baby anymore!

A few days ago, I put Emily's hair in pig tails and it just hit me all of a sudden that she's growing up! She looks so much older when her hair is pulled back! I'm sad to think how fast time has flown by with our sweet Emily. We have had so much fun watching her learn and discover new things. It's hard to believe that last year at this time she was just a tiny baby and depended on us for everything...now she insists on doing things all by herself! It's ever harder to believe that two years ago at this time we didn't know if we would ever have the opportunity of being parents...she was definitely worth the wait!!

Miss Attitude!

Emily has started to let us know when she thinks we're doing something wrong...she YELLS and GROWLS at us! It doesn't matter what we doing, if she doesn't like it, she makes sure to tell mom and dad and expects us to fix it PRONTO!! Some think it's cute, some think it's sweet, I think we're in for alot of trouble it she's already starting this. I wonder who she inherited this from...probably Geoff!

Two peas in a pod

My brother and his family came for a visit from Seattle this week. The second Emily laid eyes on her cousing Derek...she was in love. She started calling him "Dat Boy" and would follow him all around. She would sit and gaze at him with love.

She is really going to miss him when they go home!!

Water Baby!!!!

Emily got a pink pool for her birthday from Rob and Jenilyn. She loved to sit in it with a soft pillow and look at her books. When summer came, and we put water in it she was really confused. After a few tries, she is starting to understand the idea and has fun.

Geoff's a grown-up!

For all of you who haven't head, Geoff got a new job at Simplot! He is now an Analytical Lab Tech and loves his job. His schedule has really improved...he works 4, 10 hour shifts a week, so he has 3 days off now. It's been really nice having him home more. Before this job, he worked about 60 hours a week and was never home. Congrats Geoff!!! We are so proud of you!

Emmy's Big Girl Bed

A few weeks ago we decided it was time to put Emily in a bigger bed. She has been so crammed into her crib for the last few months and she just wasn't sleeping very well (her arms and legs were always hanging out). She was figuring out how to climb out and we knew one day soon she would tumble out. Rex and Jeigh (Geoff's brother) were so kind to give us this bed that they weren't using. Geoff worked on it for a few months, sanding, painting, and adding his personal touch. She absolutely LOVES her new bed. Grandpa Sant built her some little steps so she can climb up and down any time she wants. The funny thing is that she hasn't figured out that she can get down in the middle of the night...she just sits and yells for "DAD!" She is always practicing...up, down, up, down, on and on and on. She loves to sit on it and look at her books.
