Blake turns 2 yrs old!!!

i am so behind on posts! Now that Im home for the week with strep throat i guess this is the best time to catch up!

Blake had his 2nd Birthday party!!! His birthday was June 26, but we had his party on the friday before. We invited all of his friends to his party and had it at the park. The adult played volleyball while the kids played at the park. I also brought bubbles and chalk for blake and all his friends to play with. We brought food for everyone then ended with cake, ice cream and gifts! Blake had so much fun with his friends! I can't believe he is already two!!!

Blowing bubbles! Blake and his shaggy hair!

It is so much fun when everyone comes to hang out!
Blake and his buddy George!
Blake and his girl buddy Kenz!

emma's 6 months!

Emma had her 6 month apt about a few weeks ago. Everything looks great! She weighs 16.11 lbs and 26.5 inches long, 50% for both.

Some of her favorite this to do are laughing at blake (doesn't matter if he is trying to be funny), Eat (probably at the top if the list), play with toys, take off daddy's glasses, make popping noises with lips, and grunt/laughing game we play together.

Currently she is almost crawling, she gets on all fours and rocks back and forth. She scoots everywhere and can get anywhere she wants to go. Tonight was the first night i noticed that she goes from laying down to sitting up. Emma is so fun and a very happy girl.

Blake loves to play with Emma. He loves that she thinks he is funny, and gets so happy when she wakes up from her nap. He has his jealous moments but for the most part he is a big help. He shares his toys when she is sad, throws away her diapers, and gives her hugs and kisses.

Basketball

Blake's favorite game is basketball!!! He calls it "baketba". He goes on the deck and plays all day!

Emma will be able to play soon!

emma eats cereal

she loves it so much she wants to hold the spoon!

there is that goofy smile again but add the crazy bed head...love it!

emma at 4 months and crazy blake!

emma is growing up so fast! we went to her 4 month apt about a month ago and she was about 11.5 lbs and in the 55% for height and weight. she is healthy and everything looks good. her hair is still dark brown and her eyes are still blue. she thinks everything is so funny especially her big brother blake! she loves to eat and play with her toys. she is a very good girl!

This is Blake in the bath. I told him to show me his teeth and smile for the camera and this is what i got! quick goofy smile then right back to playing. im pretty much obsessed with my kids!

projects

i have been working on a few projects around the house...

i got this mirror at a yard sale for $2 and painted in antique white and then distressed it.

We painted our table black...

...so it would match the rest of my house:)

i also got this little table at another yard sale for $5. it wasn't in the best shape so we sanded it and painted it blake to match our table. Now it sits in the corner of our dining room and holds my hand and dish towels.

happy faces...

... except emma, she's just concerned!
