Harley's First Day of Church

Harley went to church for the first time today. And boy did he do great. He slept the entire time, I was shocked. He definitely doesn't sleep that well at night when I am trying to get some sleep! Stinker. I am learning that 2 kids not in nursery is not going to be easy though...But we'll make it. 

Harley's First Bath

Harley had his first bath on Sunday. He wasn't too much of a fan of it. I imagine he'll be like our other kids and like it a little more next time. He loved his bath at the hospital, this one not so much though!

Nice and clean.

All dressed up with no where to go

love this little man. 

Harley's First Camping Trip

Friday afternoon while I was doing some grocery shopping I got a phone call from Jake at work asking if I'd be up for a short overnight camping trip. My brother and him had been planning it at work that day and call me and my mom to see if we'd be up for it. I am probably crazy for saying yes with an 10 day old but I have been itching to go camping so badly the past few weeks and we haven't been able to go! So I said yes. So Jake got home from work and we packed up, headed up to Mantua, and took Harley on his first camping trip. 

We didn't really do much, mostly just relaxed. Just what the doctor ordered. We slept in our tent for the first time with 3 kids...It was actually our first time with more than 1 kid. Emery usually always sleeps in my moms trailer but she really want to camp in the tent with us this time. So we made room and had all 5 of us in there. 

We need a new tent. 

Like a much bigger tent.

But it went well. They all slept great! Neither Emery or Macie woke up all night, and Harley just woke up his usual times to eat. It couldn't have gone any better!

 The next day we just hung around. Went on mini hikes, walks, played games, and the girls did sparklers that Colton and Haley brought for them. These girls love their Aunt and Uncle. They are always doing fun things with them. 

Macie, as expected, got SO dirty. She was practically just eating handfuls of dirt. I would give her a carrot, she would drop it and pick it back up and stick it in her mouth. She was a mess. 

Harley slept through most of his first trip. He'll be a little more excited about it next year I'm sure....

After we got home we were all so tired. Everyone just crashed. Well, except me. I wanted a shower more. 

Thanks for the fun weekend everyone!

One Week New

Morgan County Fair & Jake's Birthday

Last week was one of my very favorite weeks of the year here in Morgan, the county fair. We always have so much fun. Especially now that our kids are old enough to enjoy it, there is a lot of for us to do. We started off the fair last weekend with the parade and the half marathon. We didn't really go to much on Monday-Wednesday. It is pretty much 4H stuff and the kids can't do any of that until they are 8. 

On Thursday though is when all of the other stuff started we headed over bright and early that morning. We went with Emery's best friend Boston and spent the day playing. We did bounce houses, looked at the animals, and ate yummy fair food. Later that afternoon we had lunch with Grandpa and then headed home to take naps. 

After naps and Jake got home from work we headed back to watch the Hog Showmanship. This is Shayli's last year that she can show pigs, and we went out with a bang and won Grand Champion in Showmanship. 

After the pig show was probably our very favorite fair activity. The Demolition Derby. It was really good this year. We had a lot of fun. After the first heat Emery said to us, "That was rude...but it was so cool!" haha! We laughed pretty hard. 

 Friday was my due date. I was pretty bummed to wake up and NOT be in labor yet! Ahhhh. So we got ready again and headed back to the fairgrounds and did more bounce houses and slides. 

Then we went to see the rabbits, ducks, and chickens.

Played some games and pet a snake and a turtle! (yuck on the snake...I didn't even go close to it.)

That night we went out to celebrate Jake's birthday. His birthday wasn't until Sunday, but we had no idea when the baby was going to come and wanted to make sure that we got to celebrate. So we went to Texas Roadhouse, Jake got sang to and got to ride the saddle, haha! He was a good sport, and even got Ice Cream for it. 

Saturday morning there was once again, no sign of baby. We kicked off the morning with Pick your Prize that my mom is in charge of. 

Emery did the bubble blowing contest. 

Macie even tried to get in on the bubble blowing. 

Jake did a few things too, but didn't win any. Oh well. 

That night after naps and dinner we went back to the Rodeo.

Sunday was Jake's birthday! I was really surprised that we still hadn't had the baby, but it was nice to be able to celebrate his big day! As much as I wanted to have this little guy, I really didn't want to have him on Jake's birthday. So I was kinda glad that he didn't come that day. I made a Chocolate Fudge Cake with a Mint Cookies and Cream frosting. It was de-lish. mmmmm

And just a random picture of these two best buds eating string cheese. Yesterday in the tub they were playing together and I heard Emery say to Macie "Macie you're my very best friend" it's too cute. 

And one of this handsome dude. Just to hold you all over until I can get more of him up on here. I'm just too dang busy cuddling him.
