Emma and Taylor in Nanny's yard..

Park at Cumberland Fall's
Taylor left Emma right





We had a great time in Somerset while we were home.
Tractors, 4 wheelers, waterslides, smores around a fire and playing with Ashleigh and Reagan.. There is never enough time but always a good visit..

The girls playing on Ashleigh and Reagan's waterslide.





Biscuit
No it isn't a small calf but a huge 9 month old puppy..
Misty and Jimmy have a new dog and it will knock you off your feet, literally..
Another favorite of Emma and Taylor's while we are home..
4 wheeler's.
They had a blast going "real fast" with dad on the 4 wheeler. There were too many pics to post of all the fun.






The Decker Clan..
Nanny, PaPa and all the girls..
One of these girls will have to keep the Decker name, no boys in this bunch!


PaPa is a baby lover!!

Cumberland Fall's
The falls are just a few miles from Brian's house so we took the girls to see.
It is very pretty and they had fun watching
Claire's first backpack ride.
She loved it! It is so much easier going places with 1 baby!!

Reagan, Taylor, Emma and Ashleigh at the falls!





Falls Daydreaming..
Great place to take a nap..






WaterPark
We went to the waterpark in Somerset again this year.
It is a great place for kids, Emma and Taylor can touchi n the entire pool (kids) and had a great time. Claire watched mostly, the sun was too much.

Claire 4 1/2 months
Hard to believe she is already so big. She is doing great and growing like a weed. 16lbs and adding daily. She has rolled over a couple times, up on her side alot, and wants to sit up!! She talks and likes to blows bubbles.. Emma and Taylor enjoy her unless she is napping and they have to be quiet. Things should be interesting when she starts crawling.


Another baby with cheeks!

Emma
(looks like she just woke up)



Easter Sunday
We went to a few different egg hunts just before Easter and they really should have just one costume for that Bunny. I had to explain to them why one bunny had a man's face (someone you wouldn't let around your kids on any other circumstance), one bunny was chocolate, and the other was "The real Eatser Bunny" They had a great time Easter morning and thankfully he brought Claire a basket too.

Emma and Taylor are playing tee ball. The funniest thing I have ever watched them do. They (and the others) have made their own rules. If you don't hit it far enough pick it up and throw it! Emma did this. If you aren't sure where to run just find any base, it will work. Who says only one person can be on a base, the more the merrier.
We are enjoying this!!


Taylor looking and Emma is #2. She reminded me that your number has nothing to do with how old you are. I told her it can mean how old you ACT!!




All the girls..
On the boat to Alcatraz


Claire
She is a very happy baby!

While Robbie Suzanne and Michelle were here visiting we went to Alcatraz. It was very interesting and if they ever reopen for tennants Emma and Taylor will be there.. I would like to go back and tour again without kids! There is alot of interesting stories there...


Emma and Taylor in a cell.







Emma and Taylor at the beach..


Most days it is windy at the beach. Emma and Taylor got a kite and I thought it was going to be a pain to do with them, but all you have to do is stand there and goes. We tied it to the stroller for a while and it stayed up the entire time.. My kind of kite flying!!

Emma and Taylor are 5 !!
Wow it was a birthday week! Started with cupcakes for school on Wed, then birthday party on Saturday and another "family" party on Monday, their actual birthday. It was a good Bday but we were glad it was done!! 5 brings a whole new attitude to the house. They refer to being 4 like it was years ago... I fear teenagers.



Emma and Taylor's 5th birthday party was at JumpNround.. A place with inflatables to jump in. They had a great time and all their neighborhood friends were there.
I am sure there was no spit on that cake!


Claire had a great time!!

Dad got to play a little too..


A great day to be 5..
