Lots of fun

One of the joys of living in an old house is plumbing problems.
Saturday the sink backed up and it seemed as though nothing would fix
it. Finally after Drano failed, Josiah came over on Monday with some
acid stuff that can eat through almost anything. We thought for sure
this would work. But of course that would have been too easy, thanks
for the effort Josiah.
What were we left to do call a plumber? Ya right. We rented a plumbers
snake and did it ourselves ( I didn't do anything). Wes and Amanda so
graciously offered to come and help Coy, but I think if they would
have known that this seemingly easy task was going to be so sludgey
and take all night, they never would have come. Apperantly are
plumbing isn't to code ( our previous landlord was lazy) so that means
things don't work as well as they should. Anyways after several hours
and lots of smelly junk the pipes were clear and we could once again
do the dishes. Thank you so much Coy, Wes, and Amanda!

Quality Time

Me and the little ones are spending some time together. Emma and I are
welcoming Ella to the daddy-daughter club. We decided she will be
great addition!

Solo time

Emma and Solo just finished reading books under the coffee table and
are now playing the go game, that's where Emma ask where things have
gone. Like "Roxy go", "baby go", "mommy go". It's her new favorite game.

Paci

This is Ella's first time with the paci. Emma didn't seem to care
about the paci as much when she was younger but Ella is definately a
paci baby.
I know she looks like she hates it but she loves it.

Thumb Sucker

3:33

Still at the hospital but both girls are sleeping so I think I will too.

Trying to stay entertained

Ella's pediatrition still has not come by to tell us she is healthy
and we can take her home. So in the meantime Coy and Emma are playing
under the covers. It's Emma's naptime, I don't know how much more of
this we can take.

The Fam

Here's a pic of the whole family together. Emma loves Ella so much and
wants to hold her and hug her. She keeps asking, "baby doing?" I can't
wait until we can get home and they can get to know each other. Thanks
everyone for your prayer and support. We are so blessed

Ella June Trammel

Here she is...
She was born this morning at 10:04am! She is 6lbs 8oz and 19in long.
Mom and baby are doing great. Stayed tuned for more.

Having a baby

Were headed to the hospital, I am in more pain then I was with Emma.
It sucks. We will let you know when she is here.

Big sister!

We think it's going to be soon, so were at Target so Emma can get her
baby sister a gift.

Nice hair

This is what happens when you leave two toddler girls alone in a room. One of the girls got a hold of hairspray and they knew exactly what to do... spray as much in their hair as possable. Emma's bangs were standing straight up and the top of her head was very crispy and Alivia had hard junk on the back of her head. We don't know which one was the stylist or if it was both but either way I'm impressed because it was only in their hair, neither of them had it on their skin and no one was crying, so it stayed out of their eyes. Good job girls, I think.

Fresh Strawberries

I have a small garden in the back yard that consists me mostly weeds, but also has strawberries, rhubarb, and raspberries, last year hardly any strawberries grew, but this summer I have been surprised by the amount of strawberries we have gotten. The strawberries were tasty, but the raspberries are my favorite, I can't wait for them to be ready. I wish I had time to garden I would plant a lot more things.

Crazy Sleeper

Ok Emma has been sleeping in her new toddler bed for a couple nights now and has been doing fine. Well this morning I woke up and looked in the moniter and noticed she was not in her bed. Can you see her? She is on the left side of the picture laying over toys on her stomach. I don't if she got up in her sleep and walked over there or if she fell off her bed and rolled to where she was but its funny either way. The best part is a few minutes later I heard her moving so I looked and she was waking up, she sat up looked around and seemed very confused then she ran and got back on to her bed. She is a crazy little girl even in her sleep.

Fireworks Make Me Sleepy

Now that Emma is a little older we wanted her to see the fireworks, one problem she goes to bed at 8:30 and it gets dark around here at 10. So since its a holiday we figured we would keep her up so that she could enjoy the fireworks on the lake. She thought they were neat when one would go off she would say "noise", or "purple, green yellow" even though the colors weren't right. Overall she was more interested in playing with Devan and crawling all over us. If she was freaked out by loud ones she woul run to Coy and hug him, thats what daddys are for. We left the lake at 11 way past her bed time, she didn't even last 2 minute in the car before she was asleep.

Happy 4th of July!

Such a lady

We just can't seem to teach her table manners.

A New Bed

We will see how this goes.

Hiccups

If you look to the left of my belly button you can see that Ella has the hiccups.

Date Night

We were blessed with a gift card to Tamarak a restarant in Lakeside, so we left Emma with Johnny and Tori and we enjoyed some time alone. I would suggest that every couple does this, especially if you have kids. It is so important to have time together when your only goal is to talk and be together. Its is so easy to be busy with the rest of life that you can neglect one of the most important relationships you have. Anyway, that is my marriage advice for the day. The food was awesome and dessert was a half baked cookie pizza topped with ice cream, so so good.
