Emma's First Field Trip






















Emma got to go on a field trip to the fire station. She got to meet a couple firemen, sit in the truck, and spray the hose. I got to accompany her which was a lot of fun for me.





She said her favorite part was spraying the hose and seeing her friends that she left behind.











Emma's Bad Day


Here is poor, poor Emma. She got pushed down at school and hurt her arm (as a result of kids not paying attention while waiting in line to come in from recess). When she got home, she needed a shower and fell in the shower because her arm hurt and she couldn't catch herself. Because of that, she got a pretty good gash in her chin. She earned herself and trip to the Instacare and got to ride on a wheelchair and got xrays, she also got Spongebob stickers which she was especially excited about. She told me that I need to get with it because Spongebob is funny...I hate Spongebob. It turned out she had a buckle fracture in her arm. Poor, poor Emma.
Update: Emma is doing really well. The only thing that bugs her is the fact that she has to wear the brace. She has no pain whatsoever. Odd, I know. Her chin is healing really well. The glue they put on has already fallen off and her cut looks like it will heal okay. I do think she will have a scar.

The Joys of Motherhood!



We have been having fun at our house this week. Lydia is becoming quite the handful. She is into EVERYthing. We have not had the opportunity to purchase a baby gate for our stairs so I have been putting this laundry basket in front of it so Lydie can't go up the stairs. (I can't tell you how many times I have had to chase after her chasing after her sisters!) Lydia thought she could outsmart good ole Mom...






This is the result. No she is not sleeping. First she high-centered herself and then fell in. I thought it was so cute that I had to take a picture before rescueing her. Aww the joys of motherhood!













We were having some friends over so we decided to make sugar cookies. Emma thought it would be a good idea to start a flour fight with Mom. Emma is young and doesn't quite have the skill developed.
Here is how I faired...

Emma not so much!





Here is Lydie's first time with spaghetti. Needless to say, she LOVED it! She has had just the noodles before this but this time we tried spaghetti sauce. She earned herself a bath this night!






If you look close she has one up her nose along with in her hair, ears, and all down her front!

Our First House!!


Here is a picture of our new house in Hurricane, UT!! We are so excited to announce that we are First Time Homebuyers!! This past weekend was moving day, we had the help of many friends. Mostly we need to thank McKenna, Kim, and family (McKenna's Dad).
Our kids love their new house. Emma and Lila have a new pink room, with brand new bunkbeds (Goodbye toddler beds!!), and all new bedding. Lydia also has her own room.
We have to give our Grandma and Grandpa Z our BIGG thanks for taking such good care of us while we were packing and moving. Inspite of all that LOVE, Lila has announced that she is never going to leave her mom again and every time I go to leave the house she says that she never wants to leave the house. She is going to stay here forever and ever and ever!
I can't tell you how excited we are. Just to have a driveway and garage is huge but I love my kitchen and all the space each of the rooms have. I even thanked my garbage man when he picked up my trash (I am soo excited to have my own garbage man!)
