Swinging, Sliding, and playing at the school playground.

Emmalee really enjoys going to the play ground and playing on all of the play ground equipment. We have the elementary school and Junior High 2 blocks South of our house so we walk up there and play. She is venturing out to the bigger and faster slides! She even likes to swing in the big girl swing! We have practiced legs out, legs in, legs out - "no more legs Mommy" She is definatly my daughter - She loves to CLIMB!!!! CLIMB!!! and CLIMB!!!! "Don't help me Mommy"

The tornado slide - I remember these slides - they were metal plates when I was growing up and I went down one in a wet swim suit when we lived in Omaha, NE and I spun down it and caught my finger and broke it.

T-R-A-M-P-O-L-I-N-E

When ever anyone wants to jump on the Trampoline without Emmalee they have to spell it and sneak out of the house!!! She loves bouncing with the big kids! Josh, Brad, and Jenna are really good with her on the Trampline - It is amazing how high she can bounce (on her own that is) We tend to go out and bounce when we are home alone as well... Emmalee likes it when Mommy or Daddy pick an orange and eat it together on the trampoline! Here are some pictures of Emmalee bouncing like T-I-G-G-E-R - that T- I doube G "ER"

Love always! Jill and family!

Emmalee..... and Play Dough!

One of the many things Emmalee enjoys doing is playing with Play Dough! I enjoy setting out the mat and letting her play... She is only allowed two colors at a time and see really likes it when Mommy rolls the play dough into balls... I love it, she has all of these cool gadgets and she wants little and big play dough balls!

Love to everyone! Jill and Emmalee!!! (and family)

Bradley's New Room!

We have been doing some home remodeling or building. Bradley and Josh both wanted there own rooms so Rob went to work building a room, with help from Papa Jim and myself. Oh yeah, Aunt Jodie and Jenna helped with cutting our wood floors.... yes we cut and removed the wood floor in the front room of the house. Here are pictures of all the hard work.

After cutting and removing the hardwood floor we had to frame in the room... the above picture is where the door is (left side of the picture.. we were limited because of the pocket door that leads into the hallway.

This picture is of the closet and the electrical work that Rob did.. he installed 2 different outlets and 2 different light switches.

This is the closet with drywall - and don't forget the new ceiling fan in Bradley's room!

Bradley sleeping in his room before it is completed! We put up Rob's hunting cot with some foam and Bradley spent the first night in his room! He was so happy!

This is the view from the front door turning Left - it is now a hallway!!! connecting to the main hallway for the bedrooms!

The closet with mud!!!! The mud/texture job that Rob and Dad did is excellent! They also did a terrific job on all of the seams!!! It is amazing, you would never know we added on the room if you had never been to our house.

After all of the mudding came painting! Yes, Bradley picked out the color! Rob's buddy Chuck (who is hispanic) said - it looks like a Mexican Restaurant! = )

Next came carpet - Rob and Chuck laid the carpet and then we moved him in!!!! I will take some pictures of all the furniture in the room!

Emmalee and Bradley laying on the floor in Bradley's new room!!!!

Getting ready for the bed!!!

More pictures of Bradley's New room to come!
Great job Rob and Papa Jim!!!!

Love always, Jill
