She is here!

So we are so excited to have our little Emi here. We can't seem to hold her enough.
 Everyone wants a turn.

 This is what welcomed us home.....

She is bringing so much joy and love into our home.

MAY is Here!...and almost gone...

So we have been pretty busy around here...I guess life never stops or slows down when it comes to having a family. Jeffery had his 7th Birthday!!!!!! I can't believe my little boy is seven. Look how handsome he is...just like his dad. We had fun playing baseball and having family come to visit to help us celebrate.

 Jeffery also finished his first year of school! Wow that went fast. He loved every second of it and I even found him in tears because he wanted to be at school. I think he is enjoying the break though. Miley looks up to him so much. They are the best of friends.

 So this is what happens when a pregnant woman is quilting and making bread at the same time....Dough explosion!!! I was having way too much fun making these for my girls.....

 So this it is a great feeling finishing a project like this but nothing compares to the joy of seeing it wrapped around the person you made it for and seeing the joy it brings them. She LOVES it! I have even caught Jeffery snuggling in it....I am going to have to start on one for him. Can't leave him out.

I can't wait to wrap our new baby in this one...3 1/2 weeks and yes I am counting. We are so excited to have a new little one in our family. So much to do and very little time to do it in...such is life.

Easter!!!!!

So I can't believe Easter has come and gone...it was a beautiful day to have an Easter egg hunt and celebrate the resurrection of our Savior.

We had a blast coloring eggs and we even made a bunny carrot cake. They were pretty bright colored by the time they had finished. The kids were really patient because dad had to go home teaching after church and they had to wait a little longer....this is them waiting for him to come home.

They are pretty cute aren't they.....

Time passes so quickly....

I can't believe Christmas has come and gone. Here are some highlights of what has been going on at our house...

 It is such a wonderful experience being with family and sharing the holidays with those you love. I was really feeling close to the Savior knowing I am caring little miracle too. We are excited to welcome this new baby in June.

 My brothers and Miley and Jeffery all made Dumbo on Christmas Eve. It looked amazing!

The kids loved Christmas and were so excited to see what santa brought... new bikes!

We ended up with a tall tree. We had to go get more lights and ornaments to cover it.

After Thanksgiving we love to go get a Christmas tree. One of my favorite traditions. This time we waited until dark to find it but luckily we found a great tree.

Our first snowman at our own house. He didn't last very long...

Halloween came and Spiderman and Spiderwoman came to visit and they went for two hours trick-or-treating and were loaded with candy. We still have a huge bowl of it.

 Miley loves this cat. They have a special bond. She carries it around and carries it like a baby and he just sits there and even falls asleep. She is the cat whisperer.

Jeffery loves School. He was so excited to start at his new school and the first day was full of joy.

We were hard at work for a couple of months fixing up the house with some paint and new floor. It changed the whole look. We love it here.

We bought a HOUSE!!

So things have been crazy the past few months. We bought a house and we are updating a few things on our own and it is taking more time than we first anticipated. I will post the updated versions when we are finished. But here is our new home...

We have a huge yard too. We have to put in a lot of work to make the yard a yard but it will be great when we get it done.

Miley is 4!

I really can't believe how fast time flies. My Miley is 4 years old. She got spoiled by everyone.

Miley wanted to go swimming so we went to a indoor pool that was really fun and a great price. She LOVED the slide. She went down too many times to count them all.

She wanted an ice cream cake and I put Tinkerbell and friends on top. It was probably the best cake so far as far as flavor. Even Jeff liked it and he's not a cake fan. Yum!

We love our Garden...

We are loving the vegetables that we are harvesting from our garden. It is such a great experience to reap the rewards of hard work. I am noticing the benefits of showing our kids the results as well. They love picking our vegetables and love to help weed and water. The words that come to mind are, "lead by example." I know that actions speak louder than words. It is great to see the miracles that happen every day by doing the little things that help growth occur.

I love the bright colors. These are so yummy!
