Happy Birthday!!

Emery turned 9. What a crazy girl. While we sang to her she danced around and loved every minute of it. She is growing up and it is hard to believe. She came into this world so quietly at 4:06 am. She was such a good baby and has always had such a fun personality. Many people love her right when they meet her. She has a fun crazy personality. Emery and Stella had their dance revue last Friday. They did such a great job. I love watching them perform.

Emery and her friends went to Airborne Trampoline. They wore themselves out for sure.
Hard to believe this little girl is so grown up. I enjoy watching her learn and grow. I hope and want the best for her. Love you Emery!!!!
Emery 3 wks old.

Busy the Past few months.

It has been very busy the past few months. I have a lot to update but recent news is better than no news. Emery Turned 9 and got her ears pierced. She did great and this was all her. I think the past few months seeing all her friends with earnings has been hard for her. I know she was nervous about this and just told herself that a lot of girls have this and it is no big deal. She was so brave. We brought along 2 friends this helped so much. I think she was very excited about the idea of friends being next to her to support her. Emery is loved by everyone she meets. Her attitude is all about fun and life is a party. She is continuing to dance and perform for everyone. I love this spunky personality. She is such a joy to have in our home. We are working on the 9 year old attitude. But I love her and love hanging out with her.
Stella has been such a "Star" at soccer. She really has become aggressive and enjoyed this past season with Brian coaching. It has been fun.
Mothers Day was great. I truly got spoiled by my kiddos and daddy. Breakfast before Church. Then a nap and dinner by Daddy. Spending time with them is all I really want. Loved every second.

School Started already

Stella has long awaited this day. She was very excited and seemed perfectly fine with the idea of school. In fact she would prefer all day school if that was an option. She is beaming with joy.
I told Emery that I wanted a picture of the first day of school. This is what I got. Do you think she is excited and wants to pose like a model?
Seriously cut this one out and put it in a magazine.
This was the first day really but the above shots were after I bought her a new outfit and she wanted another picture. She is to funny.
This is the place. What a fun place. The girls loved it.


Wow Emery was very daring to have some crazy man shave her face :

Wow I wish I had such eager kids to do chores at home. Stella love washing clothes old style.
Whats for dinner?
Aunt Mandy is fun to hang with.
Beautiful Emery.
Sweet Stella.

Park City was so much fun.
Stella has no fear. What happened to my little girl. She grew up.
Brecken loved the Carousel
Silly Cousins.

Park City

We went to Park City for the week this summer and the kids had a blast hanging out with cousins. Stella learned to swim so well on her own. It was nice to see her so independent and having fun.

Brecken loved the water. He enjoyed playing on the side of the pool with his cars.

He loved walking around holding his "wobbie" and several times he wanted to take the blanket in the water.

Hanging out at Daybreak Lake.

Work or Home?

The other night I took care of 12 babies that belong to someone else. Although I enjoy and love my job I think I'd rather be hanging out with these three people doing this. Eating.
Snuggling with a blanket.
Sleeping next to him.
Playing with crazy boy.

Or looking at a beautiful view.
and eating more
And watching this.

I love hanging with this group of kids.

Happiness

Stella has now graduated from Preschool and is so excited to start Kindergarten. Everyone always asks why she is not already in school. No I did not hold her back she was just born in September, ten days past the deadline. Boy is she ready and excited . Tumbling performance this past week was also a delight to see she shine. I am proud of her.


Emery has turned 8 WOW what a year. I am in amazement at how fast time has gone. She is growing up. She has such a fun personality and always can make our family laugh. I love having her out of school for the summer and seeing more of her. I love watching my kids grow and learn so much but honestly having them in school all day I feel like you don't really see them and working 2 nights a week I don't get the special time at night to talk and put them to bed so it has been fun having her and the attitude at home.


























The Baptism was such a great day of my life. I hope I never forget the feeling I felt that day. The week prior was a little crazy but I honestly have never prayed so much in one week. I love that the spirit was over our home and was so strong in our little girl. It truly was amazing to see her light up and become a member of the church. It is amazing how good the Gospel can make you feel. I don't have all the answers and I don't understand it fully but I am learning and all I know is that it
"just feels good!!!"
