Kennilee's 2nd Birthday party!

A birthday full of pink, purple and lots of frill! Kenni had a Hello Kitty themed birthday party which was very fun.  We had pizza, cake and ice cream and played pin the tail on the donkey.  Kenni got a lot of fun gifts and loved being the center of attention :) She is such a cutie but definitely knows how to hold her own! Happy Birthday Kenni!

The Birthday Girl

Very excited!

Sharrod's farewell !

November was a busy month for all of us we had 2 birthdays to celebrate (Brekken and Sawyer turned 3!) then thanksgiving which I forgot to take pictures of but it was really really yummy!!! And then my little brothers farewell... A sad and happy day! Im so excited for him and so proud of him but at the same time sad we wont get to see him for two years, not to mention Randi and I lost our best babysitter ever!
  Sharrod got called to the Sao Paulo Brazil mission. We had his farewell on the 28th of November and dropped him off at the MTC on Dec 1st. He has been in the MTC for 14 days already and he says its been a lot harder then he thought it was going to be but he loves it and likes both of his comps. he has 2 right now. He says he is picking up the language really well but is not to fond of the food :)
Here are some pictures of his farewell.

Halloween!!!!

  Okay I have lots to catch up on but I thought I should at least hurry and get the Halloween pics up before it was way to late for that. :) For Halloween Emmy was a fairy but if you ask her she says she was a butterfly :). We missed the trunk or treat because we were up north so we just made our rounds in the mall.  By the time we were done Emmy had plenty of candy so we called it good, what can I say we were kinda burn outs this year for Halloween!

zoo 2010!

I have enjoyed taking emmy to the zoo since she was a baby, this is our third trip to the zoo. Her first she was only 3 months then again at about a year and now at 2 1/2. It has been fun to watch her get more interactive and interested with all the animals.

 I think her favorite things were to chase the peacocks and turkeys, the carousel and of course ice cream! She did also like the monkeys, there was one monkey that kept posing for me and always made sure he had his lip up against the fence when he would get into a new pose, it was very entertaining!

The Circus!

On the 10th of September Dave, Emmy & I took off to Vermont to visit his parents and grandma. I unfortunately left the dang camera in the car that we drove to Salt Lake! I was so mad at myself! So the only pictures we have from Vermont are on our phones which I still have to down load to the computer. So you will hear more about the Vermont trip when I post those pictures. Anyway on our way back from Vermont we stayed in Salt Lake for about a week and were lucky enough to go and see the elephant parade and the circus all thanks to my lovely Aunt Roslyn :) Thanks again Aunt Roslyn!
