Here is Amya's birthday invitation! I thought the little pumpkin theme was fitting for this time of year! I think they turned out so cute! Were having a magic show and balloon characters made, as well as food, cake and fun!

11 months already! I know that it goes fast, but this time it seemed to go way to fast! I cant believe I 'm going to have a 1 yr. old birthday party in less then a month! Wow! Anyway, a few things Amya is doing; 1st, she is sooooo close to walking. She will stand up by herself, take about 4-10 steps then stop and stand there. She is climbing up a little climber we got her, and then turning around and going down the slide! I just don't remember my other kids doing this at such a young age! Her favorite things to eat are; turkey, hotdogs, pizza, carrots, green beans, peaches and we can't forget oreo's! She just recently had her first oreo and she loved it, but made a huge mess. She is a great eater! She is also off the bottle(except one before she goes to bed), and is almost on whole milk. In about 1 more week she will be off of formula! Amya is wearing size 2 diapers, but will be moving to size 3 as soon as the 2's are gone! She wears 9-12 month clothes(she has gained some weight with all this big girl food she's eating)! In size 2 shoes. She's says words like cat, dog, mom, dad, ba ba, hi, bye, nite nite. She can sign a few things, but is more into trying to tell me with words, then using her signs. Oh well, i know what she wants when she asks! She is so happy, people comment on her being so happy all the time. I've been so lucky, all my babies have been great babies!

Here are a few cute family pics of us at my cousin wedding 2 weeks ago! The kids all looked so cute, i had to take a few pics to capture the moment! The wedding was beautiful, but the weather was horrible!

Okay, you know your baby is growing fast when she wants to go on car rides with her big sis already! We were all outside laying one of these last couple of days and Amya got to go on a jeep ride! She looks so big in that jeep! Jayden drove really nice with her in it!

Jayden participated in a cheer camp a few weeks back! She really enjoyed it, but as for me, I'd rather stick with softball. She did look pretty cute on the field with all 150 kids! The second pic is of Jayden and her good friend Jaiden!

Wyatt is playing flag football! It is so cute and fun to watch! He is the center (the one who hands the ball to the QB) He might be kinda hard to see, but he is handing the ball off and in yellow shorts!

Amya can walk around anything now! She loves to be up and walking. She has taken 5 steps by herself so far. Not much longer and she will be running. Here she was pushing her pretend baby!

Sorry for the upside down pic!
I love to eat! I can shove a full fist into my mouth! I love any kind of pasta, g.beans, carrots, all kinds of meat, and potatoes! I have gained almost 2 pounds in the last month, and you can see it. Amya has finally got her baby fat!

One of our favorite spots is the window. We love to watch the dogs! One day while she was looking out the window, I caught her attention. She turned around with the curtain over her head and gave me the biggest smile! That just made my day!

We had a few of the kids friends over to a last blast back to school party! I had a cake made that said, "Yahoo! We're gettin rid of you. Happy back to school" he kids thought it was funny. We had a great night with friends and food!
I took a quick pic of the kids right before they left for the bus!

The 3 older kids walking to the school bus on the the 1st day of school! They were so excited to get back together with all their friends!

Amya had her 9 month pics taken this last week! Here are a few of my favorites! My little Husker! She's just too cute!

SO BIG! or TOUCH DOWN!

Amya is 9 months! Yeah!!!!! She is into everything! And I mean everything! At our 9 month Dr. appt. Amya weighed 16.8, she is 28.5 inches tall. It seems like she has put on a lot of baby fat in the last month. She has totally filled out everywhere! Amya favorite things to eat are: mac N cheese! Any kind of meat(cut up of course), fruits and carrots! Her favorite things to do are: Walk around the couch or hold someone's hand and walk! Climb up her Step 2 climber thing and then turn around and go down the slide! But, her most favorite thing to do is play with her big sister and brothers! She also loves to wrestle with her siblings as well.

Amya has been walking around furniture for a little over a month now! I snapped this pic right before bedtime. She was full of smiles and running back and forth along the couch! Since this picture, Amya has been seen standing on her own and has taken about 2 steps without holding on to anything! I bet she will be walking by Oct.

I went into Amya's room early one morning to check on her and I found her laying/sitting up sleeping on her crib bumper! I bet she was playing and then found herself tired again, and pretty much passed out like this! I thought it was too cute to pass up a photo!

Peek a Boo! I see you! Oh how cute! Amya loves to pull the blanket over her head and play peek a boo now! She has been so much fun these last few months. Exploring and trying new things! She surprises me everyday with something new!

Poor Amya had to play in this little kennel if you will. Jason and I have been busy the last few weekends putting all new siding on our house! I don't think she minded it to much! She was in the shade and had her toys!

Jayden and Wyatt both participated in the tractor pedal pull again this year! This event is held during the Sarpy County fair! Wyatt did pretty good, it's just really fun to do. Jayden pulled through with a 2nd place. She was very pleased with herself! This is her 3rd year doing this event. She has won one 1st place trophy and two 2nd place trophies!

Here is Jayden pitching in one of her games this summer! She is starting Fall ball this weekend!

Oh Happy Day of Swimming! Amya loves the water! I thought this was an adorable little smirk!

I couldn't find Amya the other day since she is everywhere all the time! But I found her! She was under a table have by a window! How cute is that, she trying to find the dogs! She can bark like a dog now too!

Amya loves her new horse! She tries to get on herself, but is way to short yet! She is such a happy girl!

Weeee! Amya's big smiles says it all. This was the highlight of her day! I can't believe our 8 month old loves rides already!

Amya went on her first ride! Oh how she just loved it! She was even galloping on the horse. This was our last ride of the day!

Jayden and Wyatt had a blast on the bumper cars! Great driving Jayden!

We went to Adventure land this last weekend! We had a great time. Coy was unable to join us, that was a bummer! But we still had fun. Jayden and Wyatt both went on two good sized roller coasters and loved it! Here is a pic of the roller coaster and if you look close you can see me (Erin) and Wyatt in the front row! Two brave little souls went on many rides this weekend!

Amya is now 8 months old, she is pullng herself up to EVERYTHING! Not only is she pulling herself up and holding on, but she is getting more brave and letting go. She can stand up for a few seconds with out falling! Looks like were on our way to walking soon! She just got a new pony ride from her great grandma! She loves it!

Just this last week Amya started a few new things. She is now pulling herself up to stand around everything, she started clapping her hands, and raises her hands up in the air for a "So Big"! She never ceases to amaze me with all her new talents! Happy 8 months pumpkin!

I went to get Amya from her afternoon nap today and found this! She is standing in her crib. She has been trying to pull herself up to her feet, but didn't quite make it. But, this time she did. What I big girl I have! This little peanut is into everything! And I mean everything!

Amya was looking for us the other day! We caught her looking out our front window by the door! To Cute!

1 pic of the amazing fireworks in Ralston!

All the kids getting ready to light off their fireworks in Ralston!

Grandpa Lonny is ready to Amya while we wait for the fireworks to start!

Happy 4th of July! We spent the day at my Great Uncles house(we do this every year). We then ventured out to Ralston to see the big fireworks display! It was a beautiful night, even with the earlier rain. Three happy kids posing for mom. They made the tie dye shirts a few days ago. They did a great job!

Happy little lids! Lydia is now 10 weeks and growing fast. Check out this adorable little face!

Just a quick pic of the Husker tutu I made as a baby shower gift! I added a little headband for her as well! I thought it turned out way cute!

Here's a bum shot of a cute baby and a tutu!

Cute little girl! I was going to have a friend of mine make me a tutu, they do a fabulous job, but my sister had other plans. She wanted to try and make one ourselves! So we tried. It came out so cute! Though found out I made this first one way to big! So it will end up being big sisters. I even made one as a baby shower gift (it's a husker fans "dream" tutu). Amya is such a happy soul! Here she is with her cute tutu on!

Just a fun pic I took of all the kids!

Here is a pic I took of Jayden's softball team. Jayden had so much fun this year! We are looking forward to next year!

So we were sitting at Wyatt's game last week and my dad put Amya down in the scratchy grass. She didn't like it at all. She raised one leg and tried to hid from it with her arms. It was so funny. I have it on video too, but I can't figure out how to do that on here yet! Amya held her leg in the air the whole time she was on the ground! Poor baby. All we could do is laugh!
