Happy Birthday to Aunt Melissa

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO AUNT MELISSA. WE MISS YOU!
(so, it took us awhile, the 3 combined pretty much take care of it..:)

Baseball. Crawling. Date

(this blog sometimes does it's own thing; i was trying to post the kids first and us last... cant seem to figure that out:), smirls ended up at the bottom somehow..)
So, yums went to his first real, professional baseball game with Daddy, Dewson (his friend whose 5), and Dewson's daddy... he had a blast. stayed out till 1030! he was cheering and rooting the whole time-totally on his own.. this week he's been running around the house pretending to be a professional baseball player with his glove..
Smirls on the other hand has officially taken off crawling.. she's actually been on all 4's and even taking one or two little crawl moves for probably a month, but this past week she just finally took off and is now into everything...
Finally, joe and I went to a really beautiful outdoor wedding Saturday, which was like the first time out in well... i dont know really. but it was fun to get dressed up, have no kids and stoll through the City...

Family, Fun & Drums...

So, I realize it takes so much for me to actually sit down, upload pictures and post a blog.. but here we go..(and i cant figure out how to get this underline, text color and bold button off)

My grandparents came from Las Vegas to visit for 2 weeks... Judah got his first official drum set, that's he was in shock over.. he's lovin it:)...

me & schrimls alone time...

Today me & shrimls hung out while yums was sleeping and daddy was gone... here's some of our shots... and shrimls attempt at crawling. i think she's well on her way very shortly to start crawling...

went to the ped. 2 days ago for 6 month check up; shrimls is over 99% for length (she's like 28 1/4 inches long) & she's 75% for weight (she's 17lbs)...

jersey shots & 6 months...

We traveled to New Jersey, last minute, to surprise our brother Adam who got engaged to Melissa! We ended up staying for 2 weeks.. here are some shots from our time... also girl just turned 6 months...

my blue-eyed girl...

i guess this is a lot of the same picture... but she just loves this johny jump up thing...... zion's favorite thing is...judah!
