Jacob's 5th haircut!

I just love this boy! His hair is great and he is so handsome. This is the before picture. Remember this is the 5th haircut and he will be a year old in just a few weeks.

During. He did great, I guess he is used to this by now. He is so laid back that he does not get upset about much, except maybe being told 'no no'.

After. How handsome! I do wish we did not cut off so much because I do love the wild hair, it is kind of his trademark but either way he is just adorable and as sweet as ever!

This is the life...

...I have always wanted! It is a wonderful feeling to wake up and realize I am living my dream with the best husband and children that God could have ever provided.

I sure do love this boy and those sweet chubby cheeks!

I love this girl too! She is so funny. She comes up with the craziest stories. I am bummed that she is on an antibiotic but thankful that she is 3 1/2 and this is her first antibiotic ever! Amazing!

The happiest boy EVER! This is his face pretty much all the time. It is wonderful to have such a smiley boy.

You just never know what she is going to come down the stairs in. I woke her up the other morning and she was wearing a dress-up dress, tiara and dress-up shoes. She really did go to bed in pajamas so at some point in the night she changed. I wish I would have taken a picture!

Yummy spaghetti!

Oh the Christmas Card...

So many choices! Addie is in a stage where she does not like to have her picture taken, which drives me crazy! I think after a bunch of pictures we were finally able to get one that would work for our Christmas cards. I love the Christmas season and I love to hear Addie explain what it is all about. We are so blessed!

Fall Fun!

Happy boy! I can't believe that he is already 8 1/2 months old. He is sitting up and moving around but not crawling yet. I remember with Addie, I could not wait for her to start crawling she was so calm and quiet. This little man is going to be all over the place! I am enjoying this non-mobile stage right now! I don't think it is going to last much longer! :)

All of my nieces and nephews! This was a hard picture to get but they are so great.

The babies (Isaac, Emma, Jacob) So sweet!

Just too cute!

Loves the bitter biscuit! What a mess.

She hunted for a very long time to find the perfect pumpkin! Notice how far out she is, the very back of the pumpkin patch, it was a lot of work to find the perfect little pumpkin!

He is so happy! I love that sweet face.

My sweet boy is so much fun!

I love that they are starting to play together. It is so fun to watch them interact, play and laugh!

My little princess, Cinderella!

Spot the dalmatian. This is about as happy as he was in this outfit. I don't think he appreciated it much! We thought is was pretty funny though.

All the babies again, their first HalloweenGood times! We love every minute of it, so blessed! Sorry for all the pictures I just could not decide which ones to post! :-) God is so good to our family. He provides for us and takes care of us everyday. I am so thankful for the blessings in my life, especially ALL of my family and friends! I love you all!

Lately...

Addie tried a smore for the first time, I guess she did not like it! :)

Loving every minute in the swing. He is so happy! He is just so much fun, I think we are going to have our hands full with this little guy. I can't believe that he is already 7 months old! He looks like a little man.

Sweet baby feet!

Addie loves to swing too! I think we go to playground just to swing but I guess if that is what she likes that is what we'll do. She is growing up and saying all kinds of funny things. It is amazing to watch them grow and learn.

Addie's first day of school! She was GREAT! Not even a tear. She loves school, I just wish she would talk to me about it. She says "I don't want to talk about it right now", everyday after school. What is that all about?

She does not look to sure about it but once we got in the room she was good.

This time of year is always crazy. Know that I am back to work, Addie is in school and Jacob is here we have had to do a lot of adjusting! Jacob is finally sleeping better (only waking up once) so that makes me feel better and not so tired. Addie is back in OT which was a bummer but it is going well and hopefully she won't have to stay in it too long. Jason is still working like crazy and doing free lance on the side, which helps! I have been slacking on the blog lately but I hope to get back into it soon and update it more frequently. Overall, we are doing well and loving every minute of our two kiddos! They are such blessings!

It has been a while....

It has been a while since I blogged but we have been very busy. Since I am off for the summer, I am trying to enjoy every minute of being home with the kids. They are so so so much fun! I love every minute of it, even the rough days. I am just so thankful for both of them and my wonderful husband.

Addie is saying all kinds of hilarious statements like "I will be right back, I need to go check my email". She is going to be 3 this next month and starting preschool. I have started planning her birthday party and she has requested princesses (her new favorite thing). I will be attempting to make a princess cake, we will see how that goes. She is growing up so fast.

Jacob is already 4 months old and the happiest baby I have ever seen! He loves to laugh which is just adorable. I need to try to get it on tape soon. He is teething all 4 lateral incisors (poor boy) but seems to be doing okay with occasional Tylenol.

Jason is leaving this next weekend with the Seekers, so please say a prayer for the team, their ministry and their safety.

I have been pretty busy with the kids and I started boot camp this past week. I really enjoy it and I am already seeing results which makes it worth it.

The summer is flying by and here are a few pictures of what we have been up to lately.

Emma Rose Kaufer (my sisters baby) was born a few weeks ago. She is adorable!

My dad with Emma and Jacob.

Jacob waiting patiently in the hospital while Emma was being born, such a trooper!

We took Addie to her first Riverbats game on Father's Day. She had a great time and loved the playground. It was crazy hot but we still enjoyed it.

His adorable smile!

Addie loves to bake (mostly just mix whatever it is I am cooking). We do this a lot especially on really hot days or rainy days.

We mostly spend time outside. She loves her baby pool and sprinkler.

Jacob is just hanging out while Addie is playing outside. He is so content, it is great!
