Emma

Emma's preschool picture. She loved school this year and can't wait to start kindergarten in the fall. Bert and I are constantly amazed at the amount of information she picks up on her own. On a walk a few weeks ago she turned to Bert and said, "I'm afraid of pollinators!" I also get lectures on keeping the earth clean. (She's her mommy's little girl.)

So tomorrow we're off to the zoo to celebrate her 5th birthday! Love you Emma!

June

A few pictures from June. 

We got out for a family hike up American Fork canyon. The girls loved being in "the wilderness" as Emma calls it. They were particularly fascinated by bugs for some reason. 

Jacob was actually a little fussy without a toy to play with and a hat in is face. 

At the end of our .75 mile hike. Doesn't take much to tire them out.

And a snapshot of our bedtime routine, Daddy get the privilege of bedtime stories. Jacob doesn't usually join, he's a bit of a distraction. :) 

Random

 Jacob at about 4 1/2 months

 

He has been such an easy and happy baby. I think you have to when you are number three.

His sisters absolutely adore him, and he is very patient with all their hugs and kisses.

Preschool Graduation!

Emma graduated from preschool last week! She adored her teacher Ms. Clarissa and learned so much this year. I wish I had more pictures but my camera conveniently died. They put on a cute program singing songs that they learned, signing the alphabet and colors, and each child presented a drawing showing their favorite thing about preschool. Emma's favorite was playing with her best friend Bailey.

Sleeping Buddies

 Emma usually sleeps with a stuffed animal. Sometimes in turns into a zoo.

The creepiest part is the giant, disturbingly realistic spider. I have since gotten rid of it, I just couldn't handle it!
