My favorite boys in the world! I really don't know what I would do without them. They fill my day with laughter. (Most of the time.)Emerson was blessed and we were able to spend time with lots of family and friends coming to visit. I can't say it enough, Emerson is a wonderful baby. He is eating lots of new foods. His favorites are squash, sweet potatoes, and carrots. He sits up all on his own now which is great! He loves to see what his two "crazy" brothers are doing. I am grateful for this little buddy in my life. (Although, I do have to admit that the 3rd has been the hardest because I don't have enough arms to keep Isaiah and Corban close by.)
We took a family trip to Las Vegas and Mesquite, Nevada. It seems like we don't get to see Jake as much as we did in Boise. There he left early in the morning and was home by 4:30 - 5:00. Here he leaves early and doesn't get home until 6:30 - 7:00. It was sooooo nice to have him just to ourselves. Not only for my sake, but the boys love it when daddy is home! :)
It was definately a quite ride down and back. The boys slept most of the way!!We stopped by to see Grandma Claridge in St. George and then went on to Vegas to meet up with my parents. We took the kids to Circus Circus' adventure dome and the Midway shows. They liked parts of it, and disliked some of it... Enjoy the pictures. We then went to Mesquite to visit great grandpa and grandmp Patterson. It is so beautiful and peaceful there. We loved our little outing as a family! :)
Great Grandma Claridge and the boys. (Isaiah, Corban, and Emerson.)
Circus Circus!!!
Isaiah playing a video game.
Isaiah and Corban on the train ride. As you can see, Corban was completely miserable as the thing went round and round for what seemed like an eternity.
They love the 25 cent rides. I am still wondering why we spent so much money on an all day pass when they only went on each ride once. Oh well!
The airplane ride was their favorite. They didn't cry the first time that we put them on but the second, third, fourth time that we put them on they screamed their heads off. We finally quit trying.
Great Grandma and Grandpa Patterson, Grandma Patterson, Brooke, Corban, Isaiah, and Emerson.So... March is a big month for Jake and I. Isaiah turned 3 and Corban turned 2. It really does seem like the doctor handed each of them to me yesterday. Isaiah is infatuated with trains, scoops and dumps, and pretty much anything that has four wheels. Corban loves Elmo and building marble towers. So my day consists of building train tracks (geo trax), tearing them down and building marble towers. Not to mention with the warm weather poking its head around the corner, the kids love playing in the backyard. Grandma and Grandpa Patterson gave them a trampoline and they love it. They also love the sand box! - Thanks Katie.
Isaiah loves the Geo Trax. The first word out of his mouth everyday is Train. Well, let me rephrase that. They only thing he says all morning is train.
My little man starts school at Pony Express this next week. I already have cold sores but I know that it is for his own good. :) A note to self, hang in there mommy.
I do have to admit that this is the only way to keep him quiet for more than 2 seconds. He talks and talks and talks and.... sometimes I just need peace.
We made this for Corban. He loved it. My friend Wendi gave him an Elmo and he sleeps with it every night. According to him his name is "Melmo."These are the invintations to their party.
The cake Jake and I made the night before the big party.
Train cookies that I decorated until 2:00 am. All that mattered was that my boys loved them. :) I can always sleep right?
I made train bean bags to play toss the bean bag in the bucket.
We played this game also.
All of our fun friends singing Happy Birthday to my monkeys.
The tramp and sandbox were a big hit with all of the kids. I am so glad that it was warm that day.
And to sum it all up... we caught Corban digging in the cake after everybody had left. What would with do without our little Goober?
