Emersyn is 6 months

Well, Emersyn is not "offically" 6 months until Saturday, but it has gone by way too fast! She is such a sweet, sweet girl. She loves to just hang out and watch what is going on around her; which is usually a lot cause her big brother is loud and crazy! She loves her big brother Ezra. She will just sit and stare at him all day. He makes her laugh harder than Brent or I can make her laugh! She always wants to be where he is. It is so much fun. I can't wait until she starts figuring out how to get around and keep up with Ezra. He is so sweet to her too. He always wants to know where she is. When she is still sleeping in the morning, he will say, "emersyn still sleeping? No, I think she awake." haha..and then preceds to her room, which I am sure he wakes her up, and then runs to me and says.."mommy, emersyn up. Emersyn up." It is so cute. I am loving it. Hopefully it will stay this way for a while. As of right now, he shares his toys with her. Which really means, he lets her see a toy then takes it back after a few minutes.
Emersyn still loves to talk. She talks all the time, and she is loud while doing it! She rolls all over the place, eats her toes, sucks on her left two middle fingers and is constantly smiling. She is now sitting up by herself and will stay that way for a long while.  She is starting to be more steady on her legs and stands (with assistance) for a good amount of time.
She is eating some solids, however, she doesn't care for rice cereal or baby food. She wants the real deal. The only way she really eats well is if I give her a chunk of banana to gnaw on or if it's mashed avacadoe or "real" food. So, I try to mash some things up for her and she seems more happy.

She is such a sweet heart, and we are extremely blessed to have her in our life!

Love these Fall days

Yesterday was such a pretty day, that we were outside for most of the day. The kids and I went for a walk around the neighborhood, then played in the front yard for a while. We got out Ezra's red wagon that he got for christmas from his Gamma. He had a lot of fun pulling Jager around the yard and Jager didn't seem to mind. He wanted Emersyn to ride in the wagon with him too while I pulled them. So, I made sure he was holding her nice and tight and took them for a spin around the yard. Emersyn loved it. Ezra then wanted to take Emersyn for a ride while he pulled so I walked along side the wagon while Ezra pulled Emersyn. It was a good day. Later that day, our good friend Allison and her kids, Hudson and Harper, came over for dinner. We grilled some meat kabobs, had a salad and made some smore's on the chiminaya. It was a really good night.

Trick or Treat!

Sweet girl

We had such a great Halloween. We went to our friends, The Garrisons, for some trick or treating around their neighborhood. They have twin girls, Hailey and Syndey, who will be 3 in december. Ezra loves playing with them, and I don't think they mind him either ;). After our buckets were full of candy, we headed across the alley to the church that is behind their house. Cross Mountain church puts on a GREAT fall carnival. They had a lot of rides, bouncy houses, hay rides, train rides, pony rides, food/drinks and more. We went last year too. Last year, Ezra was just a little over 1, so he was not excited about it like he was this year. He wanted to go in the bouncy house, ride the ponies, fish for candy and eat good food! Emersyn enjoyed herself also.
Ezra was a Texas Aggie Football player (WHOOP!) and Emersyn was a Texas Aggie Cheerleader! Brent and I were Aggie Fans! Oh ya.. Hailey and Sydney were Texas Longhorn Cheerleaders..we weren't judging ;)
All in all, it was a great time!

Also included are some pictures from when we went to the St. Mary's Turkey Dinner and Carnival the weekend before in Fredericksburg. We got to play with all the Eilers cousins, see Oma, Opa and Gamma, and eat such yummy Turkey dinner. It was a really good time.

Pumpkins!

Carving the Pumpkin

I am loving this weather! It is so fun to be outside and playing with the kids. We went to the United Methodist Pumpkin Patch to take some pictures and buy a pumpkin to carve. We had a lot of fun. Ezra enjoyed carving the pumpkin for about the first 5-10 minutes, then he was done and I had to finish the pumpkin. I think he will enjoy the pumpkin tonight when we put the candle in it and it lights up.

Some cute pictures

Here are some cute pictures of Ezra that I thought I would share. We have been crazy busy this month, so I will post more of our adventures when I get more organized.

Dach's Lakehouse

This past weekend, the whole Eilers family loaded up and headed to Trinity, TX. We were invited by the Dach's to come spend the weekend at thier lakehouse. Brent's sister Melanie is married to Kevin Dach and it is his parent's lakehouse.
We had so much fun with the whole Eilers family there. Oma, Opa, Uncle Bradley and Wife Susana, Aunt Michelle and Husband Daniel, Aunt Melanie and Husband Kevin, Uncle Fr. Brian, Mr. and Mrs. Dach, and all the kiddos (9 total). There were about 20 of us! It was great! Everyone got a long great!
We spent friday driving up to Trinity and then the boys headed out right away to go fishing. Saturday, we got up made some breakfast and the boys took all the kiddos (except the little ones) on the boat. The girls headed into town and went to a second blessings clothes store. We had so much fun trying on clothes. It was a whole HOUR of "here, this will look good on you", "hey, you need to try this on too!" When we got back to the house, after the boys called to see where we were, we ate some lunch. It was an afternoon of naps for some, while some headed to the Dach's property to go fishing at the stocked tank and ride 4-wheelers. That evening was celebrated with Mass by Fr. Brian and some family photos! Sunday was filled with more fishing and cleaning of the fish. The boys caught 40 lbs of fish! We had such a great weekend. with family.

Love her big smiles!


Our handsome man!

Ezra and Emersyn are growing like weeds! Ezra is such a big boy now. He is talking so much and becoming more and more independent with activities and different things. He is so full of laughter and joy. He is such a boy! He loves to throw the ball, kick the ball, hit the ball, run, ride his bicycle (which he is starting to be able to pedal on his own!), blow bubbles, chase jager and do "work" around the yard with Brent. He is so much fun and developing his own little personality and quirks! He is sweet and so full of life. He has been such sweet sweet boy to his little sister. I can't wait until they are really able to interact with each other.

Oh my sweet sweet Emersyn!! She is now 4 1/2 months old. She is growing up so fast and doing new and different things everyday. She smiles, laughs, talks, rolls over and grabs everything to put in her mouth. We started eating rice cereal this month. She is not the biggeset fan of it, but we are trying some every day (well, when I remember :) ). She is holding her head up so well and almost sitting up on her own. She is my little/big girl. She weighed in at 13 lbs (under 50%) and was about 26 inches long (75%), so she is long and skinny. GO figure! She has such a sweet sweet spirit. She is so full of laughter, smiles, joy and LOVE. She is the calmest, sweetest, most laid back little girl who talks and talks and talks. She loves giving out smiles and kisses. She also LOVES her sleeping. She started sleeping through the night at 2 1/2 months and has been consistent with it ever since. Her bed time is about 7:30 or 8 and wakes up around 8 or later. Such a difference from Ezra who never wants to stop :)

We have been completely blessed with our little ones and look forward and cherish each and every day with them!
