Easter and Family pictures

Easter was a blast! After church we all (my whole fam + my aunt and uncle and their kids + a few of their friends and Traci's whole family) went out to desert to hike, play, shoot guns, and ride various ATV's. Emmy absolutely loved to ride in the side by side Ranger, she would laugh and smile the whole time she was on it! We ate lots of food, had good company and played hard! 

Also a quick update on Emmy. She is now crawling everywhere and has two teeth on the bottom and is working on getting some more in. She loves to feed herself, her current favorite food is PBJ's and ice cream, She LOVES ice cream! (Its not pretty when it gets taken away from her!)

Other then that she is a very happy, healthy little girl.! 

just a couple of cute pics

These are just some cute pics I took while we were out playing in the yard the other day.

Emmy riding around with papa on the tractor! She looks scared here but she was really having lots of fun before I came over with the camera.

St. Patrick's Day!

St.Patricks day 2009 Emmy and I spent in St.George hanging out with the fam and enjoying the warm warm weather! It was so nice to sit outside on the grass watch the kids play and get some fresh air! Later that evening we went over to Ben and Sarah's house (Some family friends) to have a St.Patty's Day dinner of corn beef and cabbage! It was great company and good food! By the way I don't know why this all went underlined, I could not get it off.

My beautiful girl!

I loved this pic of Emmys feet and our hands
Emmy and I saying cheese!

A few outings

So I have been a slacker on my blog again! Last month Dave's mom flew out here to see her kids and grand kids. It was nice to be able to spend some time with her and the rest of the family and to eat her great cooking! She made the best soup I have ever had! Thanks again Connie for all your help and yummy food! Other then that not a whole lot has been going on, just the regular boring stuff like laundry and dishes, yippee! A few hikes and our last outing, a cookout with some friends. It was pretty cold but we had fun. Dave, Amanda, and her kids waiting for the food

Some Fresh Air!

After being couped up most of the winter, we decided to go for a little nature walk and to let coondog swim in the freezing cold river! It felt good to stretch our legs and the dogs loved it! Emmy and her dad, of course pulling a nerdy face :)

A little bit of christmas

This year was Emmy's first Christmas! I would have to say so far her favorite things about Christmas are all the pretty lights and of course the wrapping paper. She was always more interested in playing with the paper then with her gifts :) Emmy playing in the ribbon

New Cousin!

Monday Afternoon my little sister had her second baby, A little girl they named Kennilee. I tried to make it for the birth but she came to quick! I did not even make it Nephi before she arrived.  She is beautiful and so little. We are glad she is finally here.

Dickens, Cabelas, wheeler farm

Last week I went to St. George to help my sister in her booth at the Dickens Festival, it was pretty fun but lots of work. I also got to hang out with some of my friends who live down there. Then this week Dave and I have been finding stuff to do that does not cost any money but gets us out of the house. So far we have come up with going to Cabelas to look at the fish and other animals, and wheeler farm so that the dogs could also get out and run around for a bit. We had a great time and it was also fun to see all the lights.

Thanksgiving!!!

Thanksgiving at my parents house in St. George. It was great to be with family, almost everyone in my family was there except for my brother Andre and his family. I would have to say the best entertainment there was the kids! It was great to watch them interact with each other, and to see their expressions when they tried out new food. Emmy did not like the mashed potato's she would gag every time I tried to give her some, She did however love the jello salad :) Emmy eating Jello salad
