Latest Happenings ;)



Splash pad..fun! This water is Freezing!! It takes our little lady a while to really want to run through the cold, but eventually she braves it out!


The swing is her favorite thing at the park...who needs slides??


Our little helper! She wanted to wear daddy's gloves and help! We were cleaning out and organizing our garage...it was HOT and HUMID...can you see her hair and the sweat?? Poor little thing she plays outside and comes in drenched in sweat..she doesn't seem to mind, even with her cheeks blazing red!!



This last week Emma and I spent some time with the Boy Scouts! A lady in our ward was in a bind and needed someone to cover her shifts she had volunteered for at the medical tent and called me and asked if I could help out. It was fun, lots of little scrapes and scratches ;) They let me bring Emma and she LOVED it of course, outside for hours on end! She thought she was as big as the other kids, I should have taken a pic of the play ground that she would go and play on because the slide was Huge and she would climb up the play rock wall and go to the very top and go down all by herself...my little brave lady! It was funny watching the kids thinking they needed to help her ;)
I love the pic with her on the cot..look in the back and you can see a tired little man! All of a sudden I was sitting there and he came over and laid down and slept for a couple of hours..tuckered right out :)
I find her all the time playing with her toys and talking non stop to them..so cute! Here she lined them up on the couch...I have no idea what she was so intent on telling them ;))

Telling me to be quiet...her giraffe and dog were sleeping with Yankee :)

When we moved Andrew had this little baseball guy and Emma has fell in love with him. She saw a picture of Andrew in his baseball outfit when he was in high school and randomly started calling the toy baseball guy "daddy"....here she was putting daddy to sleep in her towel ;)

I found her laying on the floor after a fun day at the pool ;) She plays hard there!
Things are going well and we are having fun! Andrew is still busy installing and I just got hired at a hospital here..so orientation soon, I am sad about going back to work and leaving Em's but this job is going to be awesome and I am super excited about it! Once I get passed the days and can do nights..hopefully in time for Andrew to start school...it will be much better! At least then I will be home more with my little lady and hubby! Heavenly Father has blessed us soooo much and so many miracles have happened in front of our eyes that I can't deny that this job came at the right time and is something I will love!

Meet YANKEE!

This is our new little addition to our home! He was a surprise brought home from daddy for Emma;) She was pretty excited! He got his name because he is a 'boston' terrier and Andrew is a huge Yankee fan and not the Boston Red Sox fan so he thought it would only be fitting to name him Yankee;) He is a lot of fun and cute! He hasn't even pooped on my carpets..that I especially love! He knows he can't push Andrew and I around but he is still testing Emma so we are teaching her to be tough and keep walking through him when he tries to block her way;) He is a small guy but thinks he is big with her! His first night with us he was a little nervous and would go to this corner and just sit there, now he acts like a little puppy and has lots of energy! We have been having to read and educate ourselves on training him, so we are learning lots but having fun doing it!!
