Friends

 Emmett has made lots of friends at church and in our neighborhood, but one of his best buddies is Daxton. They don't really know how to play together exactly, but they do like to play around each other and frequently talk about each other. The other day Dax got to come and play at our house while his parents were working. Emmett was thrilled!

The weather was so nice outside that we even broke out the water table for the first time this year!

 
Bethany also has a little buddy of her own. This is Nash. I've been babysitting him since he was 8 weeks old and he is two months younger than Bethany but infinitely more athletic and adventurous! He crawls and tackles stairs like they're nothing. He chases Emmett all around the family room until Emmett comes running to me crying, "Tell Nash not to get me!" It's hilarious.  His mom recently decided to stay at home full time and so I won't be watching him as much anymore, which makes us a little sad. Hopefully we'll still get to see him once in a while!

Getting Emmett to joy school twice a week has been challenging with three kids that need car seats and a car that can only handle two. Fortunately a friend of mine loaned me this double stroller which has made it a lot easier, especially in bad weather. I'll admit though that there have been a few snowy days when we gave up and just stayed home!

Sweet babies ready for a ride. Poor Nash had to cross dress and wear Bethany's jackets if the weather was cold!

And here's Emmett's cute little buddy, Abby. Casey and I have also become good friends with her parents and have arranged babysitting swaps for temple nights. We watch their two and they watch ours. It's perfect and allowed Casey and I to go to the temple as a couple for the first time since we were pregnant with Emmett!
