Princess Party

Kristiena, Ryan and Maylee had a princess party for the 3 little girl cousins. Emilee was so excited to go to a party. She was excited to tell me all about the party when I picked her up, she had so much fun!! Thank you Kristiena and Ryan for throwing such a fun party!!!

You Decide

When Babies are born a lot of people wonder which parent the baby looks like. We never decided who Emilee looked like when she was born, but as she has gotten older people still wonder who she looks like......so you decide.

This is a recent picture of Emilee, shes 3 years old.

This is a picture of Emilee in her blessing dress, she was about a month old at the time.

This is a picture of me (Jenny) when I was about 3 years old.

This is me (Jenny) when I was 2 weeks old.

This is a picture of Adam, he is 2 to 3 (he thinks).

This is one of Adams baby pictures.

Now that you have seen a very limited sampling of us as children, you can decide who you think Emilee looks like. Based on what we have seen as Emilee has grown up we have already made up our minds. It will be interesting to know what (who) everyone else sees when they look at Emilee.

Our Reward

We decided to use our Disney Movie Rewards Points, to get a fun reward for Emilee. We received the Disney Princess Scooter and Emilee loves it. We also received 3 movies and a C.D., it is a wonderful program.

Curtis Graduation

Curtis graduated from USU (Utah State University) last Saturday. We decided to go to Logan to support him during this time of celebration. We arrived while the rest of the family was in the first Ceremony, the one for all of the graduates. While they were in the ceremony we went to the zoo and the park. All of the animals were awake, it was early in the day, Emilee even made a friend. Emilee loved playing on the swings and the slide. After the ceremony we met the family at Aggie ice cream. It was nice to eat ice cream with the family, relaxing and talking. Unfortunately I was not prepared and my battery died right before the second ceremony, the one for the specific programs. So I have pictures of us waiting, but none of the actually event. We are so proud of Curtis for getting his degree. We had fun celebrating with him and the family. It was a nice way to spend a Saturday. Congratulations Curtis!!!!

Hair Clips Organizer

I've been trying to solve the problem of Emilees hair accessories for awhile now. Her bows, flowers, clips, etc. have been all over the house. I can never find what I am looking for at the time, and they end up damaged. I decided to search for a solution. I found a lot that I thought would be cute then I came upon this idea and loved it. I knew that it would be easy and cheap, I only had to buy the canvas, I had everything else. I love the way it turned out, it's cute and fun. This is what it looked like when I finished.

This is what it looks like with the bows that I can find at the moment. Now comes the fun part of finding all of the accessories that are lost. I also have the desire to buy more bows now that I have a place to store them (all in good time).

Easter

Emilee and I were sad that Adam had to work on Easter and couldn't share the day with us this year. We still had a really nice day, not only was it Easter it was General Conference. Emilee and I woke up early and went to my parents home to enjoy the family favorite tradition of homemade Cinnamon Rolls while watching the first Sunday session of Conference. It was nice the whole family was together, except Adam. Emilee enjoyed having her cousins to play with.

After the first session we had our Family Easter egg hunt for the kids. They had so much fun finding all of the eggs their Aunts and Uncles hid for them. When the Easter egg hunt was over, we listened to the second session of Conference. Russell, Amber, Christy, and Robert had to leave after the second session to spend time with the rest of their families.

Brittany, Curtis, and Emilee went outside to play. Curtis had some chalk in his car, so they created art on the sidewalk. Emilee had tons of fun playing outside with her Aunt and Uncle. We enjoyed a nice Easter Dinner, Thanks Mom and Dad, then just relaxed and enjoyed each others company. Adam was finally able to join us after dinner, it was nice having him there. We went to his parents house a little later to spend some time with his family. Everyone was there when we arrived. We sat down and watched family videos for a couple of hours while the kids played together. It was a wonderful Easter.

It's been a day

Today is one of those days that I am so glad that Adam is home. Early this morning Emilee decided to crawl into bed with us, no big deal. A few minutes later you start to hear her cough, and then came the gagging sound. I'm not one who is good with vomit, I will usually be the one who joins in because of the smell. This time smelled horrible, luckily Adam ran to the bathroom with Emilee, while I stripped the bed. After cleaning up the bed, and cleaning Emilee it was pointless to go to bed, so we started our day. Adam has been building a bookshelf, and while cutting the wood he broke the saw blade. Once again, no big deal we went to Home Depot to buy some replacement blades, and picked up some lunch. After lunch Adam went to work on the bookcase again, and I went to make us a treat. I reminded Adam to be careful and not cut himself, well I should of known better and warned myself. I needed to open a package and decided to open it with a knife,which is normal for me. There is a reason my family doesn't let me use knives, I was watching Adam and Emilee, then I felt it. It was that horrible feeling you get when you cut yourself, it's hard to describe. I instantly grabbed my finger and stuck it in my mouth, that for some reason is what I always do first when I cut my finger. Then I fell on the floor in pain, I don't know why. Adam told me to get up so he could look at it, then decided upon seeing the cut I needed to see a Dr. We threw Emilee in the car with no shoes and raced to Urgent Care, they were busy so we waited awhile and then decided to go to the E.R. They were able to see me pretty quickly, and they were all so nice. Adam called Annie who came and picked up Emilee to watch her. Thank You Annie and Drew, for taking time out of your day to help us. I had the option of getting stitches or having them use sterile strips. I went with the strips, no needles involved. They bandaged up my finger and told me how to take care of it. It was a crazy day, I am so thankful Adam was home and can handle these situations.
