It was a great Mothers Day!!

Thank you to my wonderful husband and daughters that made me feel really special on Mothers Day. They not only served me but my mom, dad three sisters and there family, my Aunt and Uncle. There was a total of 21 people I think he has a greater appreciation for moms now. He worked really hard and made a meal for all of us with the help from Tamra, thank you for your help too. I appreciate what a wonderful Husband I have a I love being a mom and would not trade it for anything. Thank you for making this a wonderful Mother's day.

I also want to thank my mother for being a wonderful mom. She was always there for me she never judged me and always had unconditional love. She is smart and knows how to do everything. I just hope that I become more and more like her everyday. Thank you for everything you've done for me mom. I could not have asked for a more perfect mom. I love you!!!!

Also thank you to my mother-in-law I appreciate your hard work of raising such an amazing man. I know that Luke wasn't the easiest person to raise with all of his little corks but look at the wonderful man he turned into. Thanks for being there for us and supporting us in all we do. Thanks for all of your prayers and love.

I really do feel blessed to have such wonderful mothers. HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!!

family, easter, snow BURR....

For Easter weekend we went my brother Jason and his wife Kelly's house in Williams. It was a lot of fun and defiantly a Easter we will not forget. You know how you ask for a white Christmas well that didn't happen this year but we got a white Easter.

Jason and Kelly oh so cute!!! Emily was nice and warm during the snow to bad it was hard for her to crawl. She looks like a oompa loompa from the movie the Charli and the Chocolate Factory.This was our famous Easter bunny that we had to make to celebrate the holiday.


Easter eggs were lots of fun until Emily dumped one of the cans over I should have known. Atleast it was yellow so it wasn't that bad.Our finish products!!!The girls looked so cute in there Easter dresses, Thank you Marsha for getting them. It was Emily's birthday present but I figured they would make cute Easter dresses.
We went to all the shops later that day when it stopped snowing. AUbrey wasn't to sure about that bear. She looks a little scared.
And of course we had to take a picture with the Easter bunny.


Emily and AUbrey really enjoyed there Easter baskets. IT was so cold that we had to hide the eggs in the house but we still had fun. We do all of our Easter things on Saturday so that we can focus on the true meaning of Easter time on Sunday and that is that our Savior lives I am so grateful for that knowledge. It was a beautiful day Sunday so we ended up eating outside. It was a great weekend it was good to see mom and dad and Tamra too. Thanks again Jason and Kelly for letting us all crash at your place.

it's been a couple of weeks...

We went to Mesa for general conference this weekend. The girls got to take a bath together and watch a movie on grandmas bed they were in heaven. It was a fun weekend.
We went to a Teddy Bear picnic with my sister and her kids. It was a windy day but they had lots of fun.
Happy Birthday Grandma Buck. We had dinner for her and cake and ice cream. Good thing aunt Debbie made three cakes because the one that Payton was holding during the picture slipped off the tray and landed on the floor as well as Tyson leg. It was pretty funny.

We also went to Kelsi's concert she was a blue jay. IT was really cute and Kelsi was having a blast dancing and blowing us kisses.
Aubrey got a hold of the sizzers this week as well. Actually twice this week she cut her own hair. We had to emphasize again that only Aunt Tamra can cut her hair. We decided to plant a garden this year. We have had lots of fun together as a family working on this project. The corn is starting to sprout as well as the watermelon we are excited to see what happens in the next couple of weeks.


I decided to get the girls a little pool, at first Emily did not want anything to do with it, but by the end she was splashing away. They have lots of fun with it. In this picture the water was a little cold but I promise her blue lips are from candy.

Trip to Pomerene!!!

This last Saturday we had all the grandkids together so we thought that we would take a trip to the Reid Park Zoo. We had a lunch at the park then it was off to the Zoo. We had everyone there but Jason and Kelly we missed you guys.

Aubrey pulling Emily in the wagon one of her favorite things to do now.

And last but not least Grandma and Emily I just had to post this one it was so darn cute!!!

longer than we thought....

So this time last year I was in the hospital much longer than we had anticipated. Emily had some problems with her lungs and oxygen level was not what they would like it to be at. I remember being so emotional because they could not find the cause. I am sure it had to do with the fact she was early. They said that she was acting more like 35 week old baby so they were treating her as a premature baby. She was born 5Lbs 7oz tiny little thing. I was so grateful for my parents that took me back and forth from the hospital. By the time the two weeks were up I was so glad to have her home. She is a healthy one year old now, you wouldn't have guessed she had such a rough start. I know that we were truly blessed.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY EMILY!!!!

This time last year I was getting ready to go to the hospital to have my first C-section. I remember being so nervous. I was full of emotions because I was about to have my second child and Aubrey was with my family because the doctor said that I was going to have to take it easy so I wouldn't go into Labor. You see Emily was Breech so that is why I had to get a c-section thank you to everybody that helped me this time last year.
Emily got a Wagon for her birthday, she loves it and Aubrey Likes to push her in it.
Some things that Emily likes to do.....
1. Crawl up the stairs and play the piano, she always looks back when she gets on the first step to see if she will get caught.
2. She loves to put her head downward and have someone flip her over. She wants to do a Summer Sault so bad. (She is almost there)
3. Loves to crawl under things and hide. (She will be a pro at hide and seek)
4. Says Mom, Dad and likes to make lots of different sounds.
5. Makes noises with her lips. (cousin Raelene taught her that one.
6. She is such a happy baby and is very curious and loves life.
7. She made it to her one year birthday without any teeth, yep still toothless. She just gums everything like crazy.

Emily we just want you to know that we all love you very much and am so glad that you are apart of our family. You bring so much joy into our lives. I am so grateful that Heavenly Father trusted his daughter to come to our family. We are truly blessed.

LOVE YOU EMILY!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
