EmmaLee is 2!!

EmmaLee, age 2


Nicknames: Emma, Emmy, EmmyLou, sweety, nut, my little nugget (I reserve the rights to the last one ;) ) 

28 lbs, 34 inches. 75 percentile for both height and weight. 

How old are you? Two!

What is your favorite color? I'm not sure she has one, but she points out the color yellow "ellow" a lot and blue "byue" as well. 

What is your favorite animals? She is obsessed with our cat Tia, she loves her so much.

What is your favorite book? It changes every few days. Right now it's "the Honey Hunt" and Dr. Seuss "Green Eggs and Ham."

What is your favorite TV show? There are these short "Cars" clips about the truck, Mater, all put together into a short half hour movie on netflix that she really loves right now. She likes trucks :)

What is your favorite movie? She still doesn't sit still long enough to be that into movies, unless she's really tired or sick. Then any movie with animals or cars or trains will suffice :) she really likes "The Adventures of Winnie the Pooh" again, on Netflix.

What is your favorite song? "Let it Go" from Frozen. She and her dad are always dancing to it, and she'll ask me to turn on "Eggo" haha 

What is your favorite food? Grapes!! No question about that one. Grapes are like candy to her. 

What is your favorite drink? Milk. 

What is your favorite breakfast food? Cereal. Last couple weeks it's been the "ellow cereal" which is graham flavored fiber one cereal... Keeps the bowels moving, that's for sure.

What is your favorite snack? She likes fruit a lot. 

What is your favorite outfit? She doesn't really like clothes very much right now, unless it's a princess dress "pinsess dess" she's all of the sudden really into cute dresses. If it's not that she's usually stripped naked by noon and then I have to put a onsie on her so she can't get her clothes or diaper off. Hopefully the naked freedom seeking stage doesn't last long. 

What is your favorite game? Hmm she's not too into games yet, she just loves dancing with daddy and playing with Tia. She also likes to be chased ( which only happens when her dad is home due to my 38 week pregnant body!)

What is your favorite toy? She just got a ton of awesome things for her birthday and she loves all of them! A swing, a truck, bubble blowing machine and a Lego wagon are all tied for first right now 

Who is your best friend? Mommy and Daddy of course :)

What is your favorite thing to do? Be outside, blow bubbles, draw, read books with mommy while snuggled in her blankie (no matter how hot it is) play with Tia

What is your favorite thing to do outside?
Blow bubbles, play on the elementary playgrounds nearby, play kick the ball with daddy. (She's turning into a real daddies girl, if you haven't picked up on that yet :) )

What is your favorite holiday? Holidays are still kind of weird for her I think but she really seemed to enjoy Christmas and her birthday party this year

What do you like to take to bed with you at night? She likes her teddy bear Eddison, her sippy with water in it and her pink and brown heart blankie

Where is  your favorite place to go? To the park and papas house. 

What is your favorite restauraunt? I don't like taking her to restaurants, Chick-fil-A is a good one for kids though so we've taken her there a few times and she likes it

Where do you want to go on vacation? She's never been on vacation, her life is a vacation right now :) 

What do you want to be when you grow up? We'll see!

What did you do on your birthday? On Saturday she had her papa and uncles and aunt Katie and Alex over and we had banana splits and opened presents and played outside, which was a lot of fun. Today (her actual birthday) we've spent the day doing things she likes; blowing bubbles, swinging on her new swing, playing with her new toys, reading her new books, drawing on the side walk and spending time together. And now she's having her birthday nap :)

I love my sweet EmmaLee Rose!

Happy Birthday Hannah!

A couple days ago, November 23 to be exact, was my baby sisters birthday. 
She turned 8!
 She's choosing to be baptized in a couple of months, I'm so proud of her!
I remember when she was born. She had tons of long beautiful black hair. 
She's become a spunky go-getter who knows what she wants and doesn't want. 

Love her so much!





  And of course I had to take some pictures of my baby at the party. Hanging with her Daddy.

Happy Birthday to Andy!

Andy is now (as of yesterday) 19 years old! It's crazy. He's so old!
He's getting ready to go on a mission in a couple months. He's going to be such a great missionary!

I remember when he was just little and he wanted to be just like me.. I remember one Christmas when he was just 4 or 5. I got a barbie and I was so excited about it, and he opened his remote control car and started crying because he wanted a barbie like me.
He would always sing in a loud high pitched voice with his incredible vibrato. He's always had a great voice... so lucky.
He was born 3 months early, they said his skin was so fragile that they had to wrap him in plastic so they wouldn't break the skin when the touched him. My mom said I really wanted a sister but when I saw him in the hospital all hooked up to everything I said "Aww Mommy, he NEEDS me!!" :)
Ever since then we've been great friends, we always will be!
Love you Andy!
Happy birthday!
Birthday boy with the beauty queen :) 

Birthday party face on? Check!


Something about our family... There a LOTS of pictures taken. On every occasion. No matter what. That's just how it is...

Happy birthday, Andeen!
