Amelia's 9 months old!!!!!!

Here are a few pics from today!

"Is there something on my face?" She loves to eat yogurt melts but they get stuck all over her face! She's getting really good at picking things up and getting them into her mouth!

She's pulling herself up on everything! She'll even try to pull herself up on a toy that's on the ground. She's pretty strong so she can do it most of the time!



If I leave her in the living room, she crawls to the couch, pulls herself up and then yells until I come back. I guess she hasn't figured out that she can crawl to me instead of staying in the cage she thinks are the couches :)

Kai & Amelia

Kai's thinking, "here we go again with another one"!

Quite the artist....

he LOVES to draw fish and now, he actually colors in the fish!

Sleeping Beauty

She fell asleep in her jumper with her favorite toy - the medicine dropper!

She LOVES her brother!

Jeremy was crawling around and Amelia would try to follow him but he was too quick! Her favorite part was when he crawled back towards her! She loves him!

Giggles N' Hugs

Jeremy hanging on for dear life!

Emily, Olivia & J having a party!

Meinhardt kids taking a break!

She likes being a part of the action!

After Jeremy's haircut, we went to a restaurant with a play area. Jeremy loves it. It has become a haircut tradition to go there for lunch after the haircut. Jamie and Olivia were there as well so the kids had a fun time.

Drawer Knobs

Amelia LOVES them for some reason. Sometimes she'll even pull the drawer open but that doesn't end well :) She looks like she's climbing a rock wall! Hmm...maybe that will be a passion of hers!

Sibling Love

I was sitting in the back of the car today and realized my kids were holding hands. It warmed my heart!

I want to save this picture forever so when they fight, I will remind them that they loved each other once upon a time.

Swinging

Jeremy loves to push Amelia in the Jumper like it's a swing. She loves it!!!!!

All Ready to Go!

This is how we travel in Salt Lake!  You can't see Amelia to your right next to Cece!

Nighttime Routine

After dinner at Jacqui's house, it's bath time for all.  I stayed in the bathroom and I washed (in this order), Amelia, Cece, Teddy, Jeremy and then Jett!  Courtney and Jacqui played zone defense in the rest of the house.  Here is a quick video!!!!!!

Happy 1st Birthday Jett!!!!!

Another day in Salt Lake

We woke up to MORE snow!  We are loving this!  Jeremy loves walking in it and trying to eat it.  Since we can't do anything outside, Courtney and I took the kids bowling.   My mom stayed with Amelia and Teddy so we could be hands on with the older ones.  We made a quick stop at the grocery store and the kids got to be in the coolest grocery carts!  They each had their own wheel to turn.  How cool is that?  We met up with Courtney's sister-in-law and her daughters.  We had pizza for lunch afterwards.  We are now back at Jacqui's so the kids can nap and we can get ready for the sitter.  Girls night out!!!!!!!!!!!  Can't wait!  Oh yeah, Jeremy LOVED bowling.  His favorite part...the balls coming out after he bowled!

Cousins & more cousins

Jett & A having a fun time in the bath until ALL the cousins decided to join in!  Notice Teddy in the way back and J's rear end.  Jett is in the bath as well but he's behind the shower curtain.  

Snow

We woke up to snow!!!!! I helped dad clean off auntie jacqui's car and I tried to catch it on my tongue!

I HATE skiing!

To be fair, we woke Jeremy up after an hour nap to get him bundled up to ski!  If you know Jeremy, you know that an hour of sleep is way less than he usually gets.  So we started off on a not so good note!  He was great while we rented his skis and he kept asking to go "up the hill" with his dad.  Things turned sour when we were putting his boots on.  He started crying but we thought once we was on the snow, he would be fine.  Courtney and I put him in his skis, Ryan pulled up behind him and they started to make their way to the lift.  We could hear him crying (screaming) the whole way.  He didn't even make it to the lift.....but kept crying once the skis were off because he wanted to "ride the chair"!  Poor kid!  As you can see, once we made it back to the lodge and got some candy in him, he was a happier camper!  We'll try again next year!

I love sledding!!!!!

We took Jeremy sledding today and he LOVED it!!!!!  You sit on innertubes and get pulled up a big hill!  You have to be 7 to go on the biggest hills but he kept asking to go on the "big hill"! Here he is before we headed up the hill!  Video to come!

Popping Popcorn

Jeremy's first time making popcorn. He liked it a lot!!!!!
