Emma's Preschool Program

I got to be a pilgrim girl for my first program. We made our own costumes.  We sang two songs and did a thanksgiving prayer.  Then we had a thanksgiving feast with our family.  Mommy and Daddy said my teachers organized it very well and we did such a great job performing.  We almost had to cancel because it was snowing, but everyone showed up anyway. 

 

 

 

 



We Have the Best Daddy in the Whole World!

Cuddle time is the best.  Daddy can easily hold three of us.

 

 

When we grow up we want to be just like daddy riding our motorcycles to work with our helmets and backpacks.

The Harvest Festival

Today we went to the Harvest Festival at our church.  We had a good time and Daddy even dressed up (sort of). 

Mommy a hippy chick, Daddy a pilot, Emma a butterfly, Nolan a dinosaur, and Brandon a lion.

Bounce House Birthday Party

It was my turn to have a birthday party at the bounce house.  I had so much fun with my friends and family.  It is the best play where I can run, jump, and climb all I want.  Thank you everyone for making this day so wonderful.

Brandon's Baby Dedication

 Today Mommy and Daddy made a commitment to teach me about God and pray for me daily.  Nana, Papa, the Stone family, Auntie Ellie and Uncle Ed also were there to make a statement that they will help my parents stay accountable to this decision. 

 Daddy read a verse as a reminder to us all what we as a family are going to do for our children. Deuteronomy 6:4-9 "4 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. 5 Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. 6 These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. 7 Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. 8 Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. 9 Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates. "
  

 Here are my friends that came to join me in my celebration.

 

 My Daddy is the best!

Nolan Turns 3!

I am only 2 inches shorter than Emma and wear the same size shoe as Her.  It just might be sooner than later that I become taller than her.  I can count to 12 now and recognize numbers 1-5.  I also know the letters N, O, W, and H. I know the basic shapes as well.  My Favorite Color is still blue and I like Thomas the train.  I am beginning to like sports as well.  Papa has been teaching me baseball, I am a good kicker playing soccer, and I like to try to make baskets with my little basketball hoop.   My personality continues to be refined.  I am a polite boy saying my please and thank yous.  I am also quite stubborn and only like to do things on my terms. I like to be in control. I play well with my siblings.  I like to copy everything my sister does.  I also like to wrestle with my little brother.   I also like to make loud music and sing at the top of my lungs.

I got a bike for my birthday and I got to help Daddy put it together! I am so excited!

Playtime

 Dress up time.

Brandon can play Legos with us now!

 I still like eating the best though.
