Emily had a little fun in the tub tonight!

Nothing better than a clean smelling baby!

Easter 2011

We had a wonderful Easter!

It was pretty low key due to the nasty weather but very memorable. Easter service at church was packed but so good, followed by a yummy lunch.

I love celebrating and starting new traditions as a family of 3! So special and I hope I never forget any of it.

I have come to except that it will be a VERY long time before I get any pictures with all of us looking at the camera! HA

This sweet little girl has NO idea how blessed and loved she is!

The Easter Bunny was out of control this year.

She had no idea what was going on but just sat in awe of everything.

Off to eat Easter lunch!

Not to rush time but I can't wait until she is old enough to dye Easter Eggs, go on Easter egg hunts and learn about the meaning of Easter.

Birthday Wishes

The sign & smile says it all!

We love you Jeremy and hope you have a great day!

So hard to believe 8 years have already passed.

This was a picture from last night. We went over to visit and wish him an early happy birthday!! He is so sweet with her, it just makes us smile!

Wally World

Last night I had the pleasure of shopping ALONE at Wal-Mart! Emily stayed home with Daddy for a change.

As much as I DISLIKE going to Wal-Mart... the trip was much easier and more enjoyable going solo.

Ya'll it's hard carring a 20lb baby carrier across a LARGE parking lot to get a nasty cart that is usually broken! It never fails I always grab the one with the wobbly wheel. HA

So before I'm even get in the store I'm exhausted but baby needs diapers, food, etc., so onward we go. HA! But this trip I hopped my happy self out of the car and walked right in! What a treat!

Since I had all this extra time on my hands, I was able to scope out some new items.

Here are a few of my finds...

This would be great for little lunches!

We LOVE this in the summer and hopefully this flavor will be a nice change!

Hashbrowns in 5min! YUM

When I got home Mike said Emily had broke him in good. She had a BIG shooie diaper that was out of control! I guess the carrots didn't agree with her tummy! HA

New Baby!

Welcome to the world Baby Kasyn!

Pictured: Mike, Emily, Ryan (one of Mike's long time friends) and Kasyn.

Yesterday evening some friends of ours had their little girl. She weighed 7lb 14oz and 20" long. She is a cutie with a head FULL of hair! Her Momma will have FUN with bows!

They had her at the same hospital we had Emily and they are staying in the same room we did! We drove down to meet her yesterday and it was SO weird going back into that room! We ran into some of the nurses that took care us. It was so nice to visit with them and for them to get to see Emily as a smiling and interactive baby now!

Seeing baby Kasyn made me realize how you quickly forget how tiny newborns really are!

Emily and Kasyn will be in the same grade one day and I'm sure will be sweet little friends.

Congratulations Megan & Ryan!

4 Month Check

Happy 4 Months Emily Ann!!

We took her to see Dr. H Monday for her 4 month appointment. She is one healthy girl and we couldn't be more thankful! All is well and she has met all of her developmental milestones. We got the go ahead to start solid foods. YAY!! Let the fun times begin! It's such an EXCITING thing to begin! We have already been feeding rice cereal since Dr. H said we could 2 weeks ago when we took her to get her ears checked.

We are starting with squash and so far she likes it!!

4 Month Stats:

(She lost a little weight due to teething and having a little cold)

13lb 3oz- 50% in weight

25" long- 95% in length (OH MY!)

Squash Face.... she wouldn't smile for the camera. HA

So hard to believe she is already 4 months old!

We love you sweet girl!
