Train rides today at Old Poway Park.

Here we Gooooo!!!

Watching and waving

Jeremy bought the kids train whistles that will soon be hidden at home.

2010-02-23T14:03:00.000-08:00

picture time at Old Poway Park. A friend took these Great pictures (savoringthesweetlife.com)

Jeremy got off work early and surprised us. When he shows up in that uniform I want to run across the park like that too, but I let the kids have him first.

2010-02-21T19:31:00.000-08:00

We couldn't get Kate to stop making this face so we gave up on a decent picture and joined her in the silliness.

This is the closest we got to everyone holding still, looking in the same direction and somewhat smiling.

2009-10-31T20:49:00.000-07:00

Doctor Jaron, "pink fairy", and Ladybug Kate.

They drew the face the wanted on the pumpkins and Dad did a great job. We had, Scary, smiling with eye lashes and Kate's best O expression.

Last week Jer was on Duty all day Sunday so I had to take a picture proving I can make it to church with out him. I completely prefer it WITH him, but I guess I can do it.

Tough love :)
Jaron did really good at church being quiet. He's very interested in writing letters and numbers and its been keeping him busy.

Happy Birthday Kate Alaine. I think we'll call you Baby Kate forever, sorry babe.

2009-10-23T22:14:00.000-07:00

Emmy got her first haircut, cute huh :)

She warmed up to the idea once we convinced her she was getting princess treatment.

the "princess sink"

2009-10-23T21:52:00.000-07:00

taking a rest on a Military Cargo Plane at the air show

cheese! Em told me the other night at dinner, "this is like ordering at a restaurant."

With Grandma and Grandpa at the airshow. It was such a nice day and the kids liked it more than I thought they would.

First day of the 2009 school year. We're very excited to be back!

Toy Story in 3D. I guess we got there a little too early. They did great. I thought they wouldn't last but Kate's the only one that needed to take laps up and down the isles. Jaron kept leaning over to Jeremy saying "what else do you have?" He cleaned out the diaper bag snack stash.

Coronado Island

Hey Jaron? where are you legs?

2009-08-18T20:01:00.000-07:00

4 wheeling in Arizona Mountains. Jaron loved every second. Jeremy forced Emmy to take a ride too and she didn't hate it like she thought she would. Kate cried when she had to give someone else a turn.

Carter, Triston, Emmy and Jaron exploring

Saying goodbye to Uncle Brad.... or just having an excuse to tackle him.

Allie and Emmy chillin' by the fire.

2009-05-18T23:02:00.000-07:00

Fun with cousins! We can't wait to see them again this summer.

Loving Grandma and Grandpa. Kate's not a fan of cooperation

Emmy got a hold of mommy's makup and decided to "get pretty."

Fun toys for Easter: the kids had a great time finding candy, toys and easter eggs with Grandma and Grandpa.

2009-05-18T19:31:00.000-07:00

Kate at Chuck-E-Cheese's (we're raising another chicken)
Jaron was way into all the rides and games at CEC's (and so was his dad)

Releasing some tension was the best activity for Emmy that day.

They also loved playing air hockey together. Emmy was ok as long as someone was holding her through the whole store.

2009-04-03T19:50:00.000-07:00

Jaron & Emmy with their friends(Build a Bear birthday party)

Jaron was such a good sport getting his teeth cleaned. They had a TV in the ceiling above each dental chair for the kids to watch. Genius

Kate usually a good sport if the kids will include her... so here she is getting her ears checked. All clear.

The whole family braving Kate's temperament to have great chips and salsa. Totally worth it... this time.

2009-02-23T22:01:00.000-08:00

Jeremy fit this hat on Kate's giant head right before I got her jammies on her and she looked so cute I had to get a picture (I know.... she's never dressed in pictures)
Jaron and Emmy had their first day of preschool two weeks ago (yes, I always blog late) They were so excited and love it even more now than they thought they would. The independence is great for them, but to be honest I'm not sure the free time in the morning is worth the anxiety of dropping them off and driving away. If I had the money I'm positive I'd be sending a body guard with them.

Supply and Demand: this is what happens when a boring toy gets a little attention from one kid.

We've had a lot of first lately. Jaron and Emmy are now Sunbeams! I can't believe my babies are getting so big. I don't know whether to be happy they're growing up or sad about the toddlers I miss them being. The first two weeks of Sunbeams went great for Jaron (and the rest of the weeks for that matter). Jaron loves to be "big" and to feel proud of himself. He's so excited to show us what he did and tell us how he sat good and listened. Emmy likes to be good too (and we adore her just as much) but I think she gets a small thrill out of getting in trouble. We sat at the Sharing time window watching Emmy bopping all the kids on the head as they tried to listen and I finally had to barge in when I heard her yelling at her teacher. But since the first two weeks she seems to be doing a lot better. I pray some of these things are just a phase.

Thanks Jill and Dave! These are two kids that will turn any play ground equipment, couch, van, or slab of cement into a pirate ship. Jill sent this pirate ship home with us after Christmas and the kids LOVE it. of course, there's no hairdo (that I'm capable of) that can withstand the wallering that goes on in the ship. Aaarrrrggg.

2009-02-13T21:47:00.000-08:00

I know this is about 2 months late but that's just how things are running around here. Better late than never, right. Daddy with Great Grandma and the kids. Kate was not going for it
Yeah, SNOW! Jaron and Emmy absolutely loved the snow. They made a snowman with Grandma in the front yard.
Jeremy and I decided we really like visiting the snow, but don't miss it like we thought we would.

Beautiful. The kids loved watching the sky turn colors in the morning as we ate breakfast and Grandma and Grandpa H's.

We had the grandkids pack down the ice on the driveway just to make the race up the hill more fun. Jaron ate this up! Emmy was content with watching and wasn't upset unless someone asked if she wanted to try.

Jaron and Bella, ready for another run.

2009-02-13T21:18:00.000-08:00

Here's Kate playing at Grandma B's after she got all her clothes dirty but her tutu.
This is what Emmy wanted from Santa more than anything. She kept saying she wanted a water baby, and I thought they didn't make them anymore. Luckily Santa has some helpers in Orem that always come through! Emmy just took her water baby for show and tell during her first week of preschool.

Pure boy joy! Jaron's saving someone with the ladder on his big fire truck Christmas morning. He had Carter's name for Christmas and we got him this big fire truck at Target and Jaron was being so sweet sitting in the cart being happy for Carter (dying to have one himself) that I had to sneak one under the cart for him.

Janessa came to our house for Christmas this year. We had so much fun making sugar cookies for Santa (for hours on Christmas eve...... I made the mistake of letting the kids cut out and decorate the entire batch. It was fun it just took forever). Then we took Janessa to Panera, her favorite!

This was about the best I could get. But hey, all their faces are looking in the same general direction. I love it!

2008-12-16T20:08:00.000-08:00

Emmy was very entranced by the fairy dress ups so we couldn't get her to smile, but still cute.
Combined birthday party for Emmy and Allie. Our little angels.

The girls and Daddy waiting for another Dolphin show (this and Shamu are the only "sit down and pay attention" events the kids can handle)

Jeff & Tera fam here for a visit. They sat in the splash zone so Jaron wanted to join their party which he soon regretted and came running up to mom and dad.

2008-11-24T14:29:00.000-08:00

A quick smile from Kate before she got really mad about the costume

Kate relishes in the chaos of bedtime. She climbs all over the kids beds while we try to get everyone to the potty, dressed, teeth brushed, stories read and prayers done.
It is so cute to see her in Emmy's old jammies... it makes her seem so big.

We had to get a new washer a little while ago and (sorry for the mess... without a washer I had piles of laundry to do once it got there). Anyway, I thought it was hilarious to catch Jeremy adoring the new technology.

Jaron and Emmy had a ball in their new "house." We kept the box the washer came in for a couple of days and cut out some doors and window.

2008-11-18T22:23:00.000-08:00

Jaron, Cara, Alex and Emmy were all trick or treating at Sea World Mid October.... it took us a long time to get them to all look at the camera.... they didn't want to turn their backs on these flamingos
Party on the Pirate ship. While the rest of us were eating lunch the kids decided to put on a performance in the outdoor eating area... they love to pretend they're pirates. Arrrrr

Kate's learning to walk. She's such a cutie pie. She'll walk really well until she's close enough that you could catch her and then she just dives in for a hug. So snuggly

All of the Lamb's (except Janessa) came for a 4 day weekend to see the Navy Air show. It was amazing!

yup... I hate to brag, but we're still enjoying the sun here in San Diego. It was 87 two days ago.

2008-10-09T21:57:00.000-07:00

Mmmmm birthday cake...

Watching the waves roll in

We went to an airshow, and the Air Force had this truck with huge tires. The kids thought it was so cool that the tires were bigger than them.

2008-09-06T20:00:00.000-07:00

Jan and the kids enjoying the beach

Mommy and Jaron riding an elmo ride at sea world

Emmy sat in the stroller very concerned for her brother, but

she did not want to go anywhere near that ride.

Worn out after a long day at sea world

Emmy drowning in her baseball helmet. When her coach first

put the helmet on she almost fell over from the weight

We are sooooo crazy, Jaron and Emmy have slept in cribs until today.

They have never once thought of climbing out of them.

For some reason we thought today would be a good day to put them in

regular beds, we're crossing our fingers that they don't try and climb

out of these ones. Plus we figured Kate deserved finally after 11 months

to sleep in an actual crib.

2008-07-29T22:18:00.000-07:00

Kate loves to watch the kids run and play. Whenever she's sad they'll sing her a song (mostly "Ants in my pants") to cheer her up.
Jaron decided he wanted to wear his winter boots this nice sunny day in the backyard. Whatever :)
Emmy's much more into the indoor activities like playdough. (and luckily she doesn't care what shoes and clothes I put her in..... I'm enjoying that while I can).

2008-07-29T21:17:00.000-07:00

We went to a Sesame Street show on base on our Anniversary! 7 years
The kids were so excited for the show to start(Even Kate got a free light up Elmo toy)
Jaron was dancing in the aisle
Emmy was mezmorized. I just thought this was a funny picture (it was right after I got her to stop crying and try to chill enough to watch the show)
Elmo and Rosita having a talk about Rosita's daddy going away again for work. Even though it was meant to keep it light hearted it was so touching to sit among these men and women in the audience who probably have had to leave their kids to go to war. There's also a little movie they sent home with us that talks about mom's and dad's going and coming home from war.... I had to make an excuse so that the kids wouldn't watch it anymore because it just makes me cry when they interview the real life families.

2008-07-21T16:39:00.000-07:00

We have a lot of jets flying above our house and sometimes it kinda freaks the kids out

so mommy taught them this song to help them feel better

2008-07-11T21:04:00.000-07:00

Cousins lined up for pictures inside the ship. They're sitting on the chain hooked up to the anchor-huge.
Jaron and daddy checking out the engine of the ship
Everyone gathered around Emmy trying to console her or just get her to be quiet. She wailed almost the whole time we were on the ship. About a half an hour later Emmy and mom had a talkin' to and she calmed down-finally.
Jaron and Tan Man flying a jet.

2008-07-11T20:24:00.000-07:00

Sorry this is way out of order:

This is Jaron's birthday party. He had a huge group of people celebrating with him on a sunny day with great gifts, "Cars" cake, and loved every minute of it.
Yummy car cake. Emmy grabbed a piece of cake and sat down immediately to dig in.
Great Grandma and Aunt Karla and Uncle Larry came to say hi.
Waiting for the Orem Parade. We had to set up our spot for the parade over 24 hours before it started. Good thing it was full of fire trucks, police motor cycles, "princesses"(town royalty) and and candy -well worth the wait.
Yeah, it finally started!

2008-07-08T22:22:00.000-07:00

Welcome to San Diego!!

This is our first night in California, we went to the beach to watch the sunset. It was pretty amazing!

While our family was here helping us move, we went downtown to check out the USS Midway which is an Aircraft Carrier museum.
This is the USS George Washington, an active duty carrier here at port in San Diego.

GO NAVY!!!

Kate loves the beach!

2008-06-12T23:04:00.000-07:00

(Jill is their teacher!)

2008-04-23T22:38:00.000-07:00

We went to Kangaroo Zoo with Grandma Hancock, Wendy, Tera, Tyson, Kortney, Allie Jaron and Emmy. Jaron had a ball and exhausted himself to the point of tears as we left the building. He was climbing the tall bouncing ladders with the best of them and jumping all over with no fear. Emmaline on the other hand couldn't quite get over her fear of blow up toys and after I tried to coerce her into liking the slides I decided to let her be and stop torturing her.

Emmy sitting in the stroller relieved that mommy has stopped carrying her to the top of slides in the promise that it will be fun.
Ready or not here I come!

2008-04-23T22:14:00.000-07:00

Emmy giving Jaron a push on the swings. She refused to swing in one herself but she was happy to push Jaron in one and had fun when she managed not to get knocked down. Jaron on the other hand would be happy swinging in the sunshine for hours.... it's always the person he's recruited for pushing that tires out before he'll ever get sick of it. He's also become quite the talent on the trampoline.

Playing piano just like daddy.
Carter, Reagan, Jaron, Tanner, Emmy, Walker and Konner all stuffed at the Golden Corrall.
Allie, Emmy and Jaron rediscovering their toys after unloading the moving truck.
Grandma Hancock keeping Kate happy while we ran around Kangaroo Zoo.

2008-04-23T21:46:00.000-07:00

This picture is Jaron and Emmy before we left Ohio. When we look at the pictures of them in our old house they say "Our house, far far away" in the saddest little voices. They miss it as much as we do. For a while they kept talking about "when we go to Utah" I think they finally get that we're in Utah now. Just wait until we have to start talking about getting to San Diego, they are going to be so confused by the end of this summer.

The best part of moving was playing in boxes and of course Jilly and Grandpa coming to help us.

Emmy begging for snacks from Jaron and of course he always shares.
Jeremy on mic, Steve on drums, Reagan and Janessa on guitar. It's always a party at Grandma and Grandpa Lamb's house especially now that Jeremy brings Rock Band!

he was doing it, until we turned around and saw it.

We got a bunch of fun dresses for emmy so here is her fashion show!

By the way, Emmy HATES getting dressed, so you can imagine how much

she loved trying all these dresses on!
