Emmitt turns two
Emmitt turned two on May 9th, 2015!!! This kid has been nothing but fun since he was born! His first year of life he was the easiest, sweetest baby ever!!! He ate, slept, pooped, let other people hold him, and just was so pleasant!!! During year one, he was a little more stubborn with his plans, but was still very amiable and loving! Here are a few things about Emmitt:
- He's very sturdy and coordinated and will jump off of very high places and has done so for probably the past 6 months.
- He smiles and waves and nearly everybody
- He has a huge vocabulary and will repeat ANYTHING we ask him too, which is pretty fun!
- He has absolutely no desire to potty train yet.
- He LOVES trucks, tractors, hats, car keys, hammers and screw drivers
- He loves his grandma and grandpa
- He loves to play tough with people and is always jumping on bigger kids when he plays on the trampoline.
Emmitt loves his brother Eli!!
Fish Lake fun
Dirk had a real estate deal to work out at Otter Creek on General Conference Saturday in April and we ended up driving from there to Fish Lake for some fishing and a picnic. It was a lot of fun!!
Our future home
We are so excited to start building our house in Monroe this year!!! We bought three and half acres of beautiful land in Monroe end of last year and decided to build. It's right behind Dirk's parents house (through a field). WE bought spray paint so we could do a rough outline of where our house will be. It was pretty cool to see it like that. Later we realized we have to set it back a lot further then we thought, but that will work out just fine!
Eli loves his bike
This kid has loved riding his bike this year. He inherited a nice Schwinn from Brady and Michelle Smith and it's been a GREAT bike!!! Thanks Brady and Michelle, oh and Kinin too!
Love letter to mom from eli
Eli wrote me this letter and was playing mailman. When he delivered it, I couldn't believe he would have intentionally written "you rug rat mom." Anyways, Dirk suggested I have Eli read it to me and when he did, he read it as follows: "You r u grat mom!" Or as translated "You are a great mom!!" haha!! Such a sweet boy as he learns to read and write!!
Building a chicken coup
We got a chicken coup put in the early spring at our property in Monroe and we now have 17 chickens!!! Only 6 are big enough to be laying eggs so we get about 4-5 eggs per day. The other hens will begin laying probably in August! Dirk and Eli worked so hard for about 5 hours! Eli loved it and wouldn't stop helping his dad until they were done!! He loves doing activities like this and fortunately, so does Dirk! Win win!!
