I'm Three!!

Emma has been so looking forward to turning three.  She has been telling people for months that she is two, but is going to be three.    She was born at 6:49 pm on May 30th, 2007.  She was 9 lbs 2 oz and 22 in long.  She has always had such a cute little personality and is such a fun girl.  She used to be so shy, but has been really coming out of her shell.  She says such funny stuff.  Yesterday, we went to the drive through ATM.  When the money came out she yelled, "Daddy, you won, you won!!!!"  It was beyond funny!  She is also very excited to be starting preschool this year.  Words cannot express my love for my baby girl.  I'm so, so happy and thankful to have her for my daughter.  Happy Birthday Emma Girl!!  I love you so very much!!  Now lots of pictures.  It's so hard to pick.  I love so many pictures.

Party Time!!

We had Emma's 3rd birthday party today.  She picked the theme and the place.  She, of course, picked Yo Gabba Gabba and Peter Piper Pizza.  She has been talking about her party for so long.  I hoped it lived up to her expectations.  : ) 

Emma telling the world she is THREE!!!

Of Course...

Of course I love my Emma too!!  She is going to be three in one week! 

Yep, that's Emma.  The day after she was born.  Unrecognizable!!! 

Emma is my sweet girl.  She talks and talks all day long.  She says the funniest things.  She loves puzzles.  She now does 48 pieces and up.  She loves Spencer.  She will comfort him if he is sad or sick.  She loves to play outside and get dirty.  She loves to color and loves books.  She has been talking about her birthday for MONTHS now.  Everyday she tells me she is going to be three and is having a Gabba cake.  I love that she is at an age now that I can trust her alone while I take a shower. : )  She loves to take bubble baths.  She helps me clean up and do the laundry and empty the dishwasher.  She is very organized.  She lines up things in a perfect line.  Again, I could go on and on about my Emma girl.  I love her so very much and am so thankful to be her mommy. 

    

How did this happen??!!

Spencer is growing too fast for me!  It seems like just yesterday he looked like this:

And now he looks like this:

How did this happen?!  He went from a tiny baby to a little boy so fast!!  Spencer is now 16 months old.  Here is what he is like these days: 

Spencer is such a sweetheart.  He is still such a mama's boy.  He loves to throw or kick anything and everything.  He climbs on EVERYTHING.  He loves to be rocked while he rubs his soft blanket.  He still wants to nurse, but I am done!  I feel bad, but he's gotta wean sometime.  : )  He loves bubbles.  He will eat pretty much anything, as long as it's not a vegetable.  He loves balls and cars.  He always smiles.  He is soooooo ticklish.  His laugh is so adorable.  He loves to give kisses and hugs.  He loves to play with Emma.  I could go on and on and ... 

I am so thankful that Heavenly Father blessed us with such a sweet spirit.  I love Spencer so very much and love being his mommy.      

Demotion or Promotion??

Emma always dresses up.  Everyday she dumps out all of her dress up clothes and piles on necklaces and bracelets....  She usually tells me she is a princess.  But, the other day she came up to me and said, "Mommy!!  I'm a Fairy Godmother!!"  Is it considered a demotion or a promotion to go from a princess to a fairy godmother??

Busy Life

We have been keeping pretty busy lately.  I have been working from home again for the last month or so.  Which is such an AMAZING blessing.  We had another Easter celebration at Shaun's Aunt Karen's house.  Emma got have another egg hunt.  This time the eggs had money in them.  In one of the pictures she is putting her money in her pocket.

We went to the mall and ate at Johnny Rockets.  Spencer wasn't too fond of the hat, but Emma was.  If you can tell by the smile on her face. 

Spencer and Emma have both been sick.  This has been the worst cold and flu season for us. 












Spencer got his first haircut.  He did pretty well, until she started using the electric razor thingy at the end.  He looks so different and more grown up.

And just some random pictures of Spencer in his jammies...

Easter

Easter was busy and fun.  I got to make rolls with honey butter and mini cheese-cakes.  I love to bake.  But, it can get tiring.  I made three batches of these...

 












First stop was my mom's house.  The kids got Easter baskets with toys and candy.  Next, was Shaun's Aunt Sherri's house.  Every year the kid's have an Easter egg hunt.  Emma loves it!  Spencer was only interested for a little while.  They played and played outside.  On a slide, go-cart and of course in the dirt.  Here are some pictures from our Easter day.
