With Emmy being the 2nd child, she is already feeling the effects at 5 months! I think I sat every free moment I wasnt working, sitting and "practicing" with Cole at this age on the floor. You know, practicing sitting up, playing with toys, stimulating his mind, grasping objects...blah blah blah! Well, poor Emmy gets put on the floor to play, while I change laundry, help Cole, make his lunch, etc! Now that school is out I have lots of time, so I have been playing and "practicing" with her on the floor. To my surprise, when I went to practice with her on sitting, she showed me happily that she already knows how! She sat so pretty and proud! Cole was so excited for her! He said "Im so proud at you that you are sitting Little Midget!" Thats what he calls her, unless like at Dans dr apt today when people ask he still says "Captain Princess Emmy." But at home its Little Midget! So, here are a few shots of her sitting pretty!After about 3 minutes she visits the blanket face down!

Nashville For Country Music Fest!
Holy hotness! On Thursday night we dropped the kiddos off (thanks so much gigi and papa) at Dans parents and heather, jason, dan and I headed off to Nashville. After many old school car games, and many pee breaks as usual for Jason, we arrived! It was too late to do anything that night, so we went to bed to get ready for a fun filled day 1! Thats where the hotness began! At fan fair, it is about 4 blocks of blocked off streets with vendors, country music and people everywhere. They have like 5 different stages where big named country music stars put on shows. They also have to convention centers where you can get autographs etc. Then on the riverfront is the main stage with the best musicians. At night for 4 nights they have a 6 band line up at LP field (where the titans play) that is a ticketed event. The days were so miserably hot! It was like 96 degrees with 86% humidity! I am not a sweater and I was DRENCHED! But we had a great time listening to bands like Craig Morgan, Rodney Atkins, Steve Azar, David Lee Murphy, (got his autograph) and many more. We only bought tickets to one nights event at LP. We saw Zac Brown, Rascal Flatts, Martina McBride, Eastin Corbin, Randy Howser and Billy Currington. It was a great show, minus my first panic attack in a while. I was overcome by our nose bleed seats. We sat to close to the rail at the very top of the stadium and I freaked! Oh well, I recovered before the show started! We had a fabulous time and learned all the do's and dont's for next time! We had lots of good laughs and made many new inside jokes despite the heat. On our way home we stopped in Metropolis Illinois, home of Superman. We wanted to take a picture f the giant superman for the boys. Well, we pulled into town square and hopped out to run up to get a picture and we did a double take! There were people walking around as monks, supermans, and lots of other crazy things. Apparently they had an "honorary swearing in ceremony" for supermans or something. I felt like I was in a bad horror film!
I was so excited to get home to my babies on Sunday! Three nights was enough to be away from them! I posted the pics above this post.

A Day At The Botanical Gardens
Today was so fun! Betsy, Denise and I took the kids to the gardens. We stayed ALL day! All of the kids cooperated and had the best time! The weather was perfect and so was the day. I joined the gardens this year because Cole enjoys the childrens garden so much!

My Montage 6/6/10 at OneTrueMedia.com
Today Heather I took the kids for a picnic in the park, then to her parents so the kids cold play in the backyard and Tess and Emmy could nap before we headed to the Strawberry Festival. The festival was precious! The kids rode the train, got their face painted, rode rides and walked around. It was Emmys first time in the front carrier and she did awesome! SHe got a tad fussy at one point, but she was tired, so I turned her around toward me and she went sound asleep! The weather was wonderful and the day was great!

No 4th Base
Cole began tball this week! Our friend Karl is the head coach, and Dan is the assistant. It was so funny to watch! A few days prior Dan had asked Cole which base he wanted to play and he said "4th base." Dan told him to let him know when he found it! It was funny because just about every kid there thought there was a 4th base!
Cole did great and enjoyed it! They started practice with "chase coach dan around the bases!" Im hoping after several practices Dan will truly appreciate what I do each day since I have double the amount of kids for 8hrs a day! lol!
