Right Now

I'm not sure that I will ever be able to catch up on all of the cute things that happened in the last year....... But I really need to keep on top of the writing so that baby 4 doesn't think that we forgot all about him....  Baby 4 is Due in May and I still feel like the last 2 years of Embers life have just blown by.

My Sweet Ember is talking up a storm!  like 5 or more word sentences, She is 2 years and 1 month old.. I really want to have her potty trained before baby brother comes home, but im not very optimistic about that. she could really care less. She like to pretend she a puppy, wear anything insanely girly and squeels like a girl when she sees pretty things..... painfully cute.. She still wears giant bows in her hair and her hair keeps growing in curly :)  She makes me sing to her before she can go to sleep every night She is finally enjoying Nursery class at church and doesn't scream when I leave her in there she runs in by herself to play with the kids, but she still has an attitude and wont participate, like to look at people like they aren't very smart. She loves the movie Frozen calls it "Elsa"   and loves to play princesses in her little castle tent with her little castle for her little princesses inside.... She is my princess and I love her dearly. She also really enjoys playing baseball and going to all of her brothers games, Every night on our way to the car she says repeatedly "That's a weally fuun game mom! a wealy fun game! datsa weally fun game mom!"

 

Awesome Cooper is the best helper during the day :)  We have been doing school at home with just us and he has been working so hard at it. Its been hard for me to find the way he learns but we are finally getting into a groove at the end of the school year now :) He is so very excited to start school in September and we are super ready, not to wish the summer away but it will be a fun year for him next year. He is amazing with Ember, he helps her do everything and they play amazing together, he is so very aware of everything she needs,  hugs her carries her around, they are the best of friends. He always patiently waits for the end of the day when Wil gets home and they can go outside and play with all the other apartment kids,    and there are some scary one and a few good ones.  they have had a few interesting experiences outside with random kids.... I have since restricted them to only being aloud to play on the playground across from our windows so that I can see them and hear whats happening,  There are some big kids that like to hang out and pick on the littles and teach them really weird things..  lol  Cooper has one awesome friend from church, Jameson, whom we are really greatful for, we get to play with him and his little sister often and it is way fun to watch Ember get better at playing with other kids and not being such a baby anymore.  Cooper is doing Tball and is having a blast. He is adorable out there on the field, hasn't quite had a run,  but tball is usually just lots of craziness of kids running around like mad people after one ball. He made it to second base in his last game and once he got there did the most epic dance......  between the two boys games schedules right now we are out on the baseball fields at least 4 evenings a week. The weather is amazing so its really been great!

 

 

Wil is finishing out his first grade year amazingly. Tomorrow he has a music concert in the morning where he has a little solo :) He plays the part of Uncle Sam :)  He is so stinking excited he can barely sleep, Ive been typing this and he has been out here 3 times to remind me of things and to set an alarm and to ask if he can wear his new suit because uncle sam wears dress clothes.....   His enthusiasm is contagious. He had a little bit of a rough start to the year, had some issues being at the new school, it just took him some time and getting a little involved in his after school Music Club that he loves, they meet once a week and have special parts in the school programs. He is loving baseball. He plays outfield but that is to be expected when he met the cut off for the 8u league by 1 day lol,   his bday is april 30th and the cut off day was May 1st. so he is 6 in a league of 7,8,and 9 year olds,  but he is having a blast!  his team has only lost 1 game of 5 and its been really fun to see him busy and engaged :) He wants a drum set for his birthday,  and a bike, and a really long list of other things,  we have two different bikes for him but one is too small and the chain falls off a lot,  and the other one is too big and he cant stop it with his feet lol........ ugh  but the drums I told him no on!!!!!  we are in an apartment right now until nick can find a job he wants to stay at for more than a year which is okay but drums and a newborn baby do not fit into an apartment together....... BUT his dad seems to be rooting for him.... So we shall see what this spoiled kid gets for his bday :)
