Baby Izzy


We dressed Izzy in Briella's PJs the other night! The kids thought it was SO funny!! Poor Izzy just layed there limp...which made it look even funnier!

Smores in winter?!?

We got together with Brooke and Josh and their family on Saturday and Brooke brought an indoor smore maker thingy. So everyone gathered around it and we roasted smores! How fun!!

Brotherly Love


Awww....Taylor and Briella have such a connection. Briella really looks up to him and he is such a good brother. Since Taylor has started reading, he and Briella sit on the couch together and read books. It is the most precious thing. My siblings and I have always been really close and I pray that my kids will share the same bond some day!

Christmas Stories


It's special to see the kids reading about the Christmas story with Grandma and Grandpa Emmert. They know that this is tradition...we don't open any gifts until the real reason for the season is remembered first. They are all very patient....even with all those presents sitting there waiting to be opened!!

"You'll shoot your eye out!"


So Taylor was about as thrilled as Ralphie on the movie "A Christmas Story" when he opened up his last gift. It was a Red Ryder BB gun!! Against my better judgement Matt thought Taylor was responsible enough for a BB gun this year....only to be used with Daddy though!! It was so cute to see those two so excited though! My little boy is just growing up WAY TO FAST!!!
