a quick visit

Emma and the boys went to the farm for a quick trip this week. I was very upset that I was left here alone while they had fun at my favorite vacation destination! But Emma said they had a very busy 2 days and that it was better that I didn't go. (her opinion, obviously...) Anyways- the boys got to spend time with their cousin Morgann in from NH on Tuesday. Morgann showed Cole how to play make believe and Emma said it was adorable. They would pretend to take little beads off a mosaic table and then eat them. They had plenty of treats to share and handed them out to everyone.
On Wednesday, Emma and the boys got to spend some time with the Keigley girls. Little Bergen had surgery and so they played and had a fun time together while Lacey & Kevin were at the hospital. HOPE YOU'RE FEELING GOOD, BERG!!

a fun weekend...

How cute is this little guy? Just yesterday, he started propping himself up with his elbows during tummy time. We figure once this guy gets the strength, he'll be moving before we know it. He already moves from one end of the crib to the other during the night. Can you believe that little Beckett is almost 4 months old?

Emma and Beckett finally got to meet baby Colin this weekend. We got sick in our house the day he was born, so we were very anxious to meet him! Emma said that he's very adorable and super tiny!! (Compared to Beckett obviously- who is probably double the size of little baby Fish!)

Jon has off today, and it's very nice to have an extended weekend every once in a while. He and Cole have gone to town. One of Cole's favorite things to do is spend time with daddy in the truck.

slam dunk!

Cole's birthday is in a week! He'll be TWO years old. He's growing up so fast. Lately, whenever Jon and Emma ask if he wants to do something (eat lunch, watch George, go outside....), he says "uh-huh, I do!" really fast and jumbled together. It's really cute. So, back to his birthday.... Grandma and Grandpa from Texas got him a basketball hoop. We already gave it to him and he absolutely loves it!

sick & tired of....being sick

Cole got hit by the flu this last week, poor kid. He had a rough couple days with a fever and then has just felt bad & has had a cough since then. Emma was spraying the house all over with lysol to keep everyone else from getting sick. She and Beckett have a cough now too, but not as bad as Colton. So we've been staying around the house pretty much. A couple of days the kids stayed in PJs all day long! I'm going a little stir crazy... maybe someone will take me on a walk this evening!
Other than that, there's not much to write about. I figured the grandparents might be going crazy not seeing updated pictures of the boys though, so this is for them and for all you other fans of the Joersz boys!

Jumparoo!

OK, I'm going to quickly write this blog, because Beckett is about to wake up from his nap. I can hear him now and I need to help Emma get him up and feed him. Moral support, I probably won't do anything really helpful actually. We got Beckett's little Jumparoo this last weekend and he really likes it! He doesn't really play with the rainforest animals quite yet, but he likes to look at them. Cole is really helpful when Beckett is in the jumparoo. He likes to bounce the seat and roll and push things to entertain little Beck. He's such a helper! Today Emma and the boys went and had a play date with their friend Christy and her kids. Cole took a while to warm up, like normal, but eventually had a fun time playing with Lilly.

Already???

This last weekend, Beckett rolled over from his back to his stomach for the first time! Here's how it happened....I was outside, of course, because it was dinnertime. Jon, Emma & Cole were eating dinner and Beckett was laying on a blanket playing happily on the table. Then, all of a sudden, he was on his side and then a minute later he was on his tummy. Good thing we had just moved Cole's dinner plate, otherwise Beckett would have spaghetti all over! Jon and Emma were very suprised and quickly decided that he wasn't allowed to just lay on the table any longer! He rolled over once yesterday too, but we think it will be a while before he starts rolling over regularly.

Farkle!

Last weekend we had our friends Jon & Tara and Bruce, Kristie & Norah over for dinner and games. I obviously got sent outside, but it looked like the families were having a fun time together. Here's a pic of the kids hanging out together on the couch- which didn't last long! Thanks everyone for coming over, we had a fun time! I wish I could have played Farkle....I would have beaten Bruce! (But I also might have chewed up the dice...)
