Trying to get teeth (cold wash cloth for his fever)

and get moving (looks like P.T.).

I LOVE MY NEW DOUBLE STROLLER!

Everyone is happy when we are outside taking a stroll. I don't have to carry anybody, and I get some fairly decent exercise (which is major for me at this point). Needless to say the kids like it. Liam falls asleep half the time, and Emalyn feels like she is the Queen up on her throne. We even went out when it was lightly raining the other day. My head got wet but the kids' didn't. I think it is finally supposed to get somewhat sunny and warm here next week. Pray that it does!

Here are some other moments we have had here in Oregon:cute guy and pretty girl

Updating on our past.
EASTER!

Coloring Easter eggs was actually quite a successful activity with the kids. Emalyn LOVED color her eggs and didn't make a huge mess. Phew! She loved her bunny ears and Liam loved his chocolate - go figure. haha!

GRADUATION!
I DID IT!

I can't believe that I am done with school, even though it's about stinkin' time. After 2 years off to serve a mission, getting married, transfering to BYU, changing majors three times, and having 3 babies, I now have am 8 years older with a Bachelors of Science in Public Health Education. Yea!!

OUR SUMMER ADVENTURE - SO FAR.

Well we headed out for summer selling the day after graduation and stayed at the Baymont in Kennewick, WA for 3 weeks. Doug and his team did great. Emalyn had a somewhat lame and quiet birthday but she got a cupcake and presents so all was good. :) Then we moved to Medford, OR where it has been rainy and cold (except yesterday and today). The sales have reflected the weather - no good. Therefore, we are moving yet again to go to Redding, CA (or back to WA) in a couple weeks. What a crazy summer!!

Cabo!

Doug and I had a much needed and much appreciated vacation - with no kiddies - to Cabo San Lucas in March. We basked in the sun, went snorkeling and swimming, ate some great food, and got some much needed sleep. Alene flew in to watch our kids that week - bless her soul! The kids had a good time with grandma.

Emalyn:
She is now 22 months (in 10 days) and weighs ~23 lbs. and is ~32 inches tall. She is speaking more and it is cute to hear her little language. Emalyn likes to draw on her draw & erase table but LOVES to draw on herself. I caught her red handed today - literally. She put her own shoes on all by herself today, and she has figured out how to use a spoon correctly! She still loves her little brother very much. She calls him bae-E-am - all one word (Baby Liam). She has also started doing the sign for eat. I think she is grateful to be able to communicate that better. She loves to get out of trouble with a big puckered lips kiss, and it usually works too. She's a kiss-up already! Like Daddy, like Daughter! haha.

Liam:
He is almost 4 months (in 10 days) and weighs ~15 lbs. and is ~ 26 inches long. He is our "snack-pack" as Doug has nicknamed him. He is a big guy, especially in terms of a Kaufman. However, he has a lot of Simpson in him (and on him - look at those hands and head!). Well he loves to speak in his own little man language with an occasional laugh and squeal. He loves his pacifier ("paci") and his mommy. :) I call him 'Smiley' most the time cause he is just that - a smiley guy. He can fart with the best of 'em (another Simpson trait) and always needs to be burped. He is trying to figure out rolling over from his back but so far just ends up on his side and that's the extent of it. He loves to watch his big sister play even though he gets nervous when she tries to walk around him. He is an awesome sleeper. He goes down around 8:30 p.m. and wakes up at 4 a.m. and again at 7:30. I can handle that! He is a morning person too. He jabbers away, happy as a lark, and plays with his little lion that hangs on the side of his crib. What a cute little man!!
