Heaven Help Us -- Lydia's Crawling!

Emma's 1st Day of Kindergarten

Emma started Kindergarten TODAY!! She is so excited. She wore her pretty new dress and her pretty new shoes and had her pretty new backpack (call me Marti). She just had to pose!!
















When we got to her classroom, her teacher set her on a treasure hunt to help her get acquainted with her room and the rules of the class. She had a lot of fun getting acquainted with the drinking fountain and the slide!

Here she is. She really didn't want to leave. She kept asking, "Mom when are we going to get taught?" Soon enough, Emmabug. Soon enough.

Emma Through the Years

Emma is starting school in two days (pics of that moment will be forth coming). Anyhoodle, I thought it would be fun to show how far she has come.

Here is a pic of Emma 1 day old. She was 5 lbs and 9 ozs. Grandpa Z said that he had caught fish bigger than her. :)

Here is Emma at 6 months old with her daddy. We were at the Homestead in Heber, UT

Emma's first tooth brush. She sure thought she was such a big girl! She was 1 year old.

2 years old on her birthday. This is the bike that Aunt Missy got for her.

This is on Two Top. One of my favorite pictures of Emma.

Emma 3 years old in the first Christmas dress I ever made for her.

Emma 5 years old.


We are so proud of our Emma. She is a good little girl who is funny, brave, a peacemaker, and a very big helper in our family. She loves to do her school work, play with her friends and mostly her sisters. She loves going to church and singing in primary. We love her to pieces!

Look forward to pictures of Emma going to Kindergarten on her first day!

Playing with Holden

This past weekend we got to go to Salt Lake. It was really nice to be able to catch up with everyone and play with our cousins. Here are some pics from our adventures with Holden.



There must be something to the saying that girls are sugar and spice. Holden sure thought they were sweet. He was all hugs and kisses when Emma and Lila would get close.

Here is Lydia threatening to crawl. Everyday we think will be the day.

Lydia Feeding Herself

Here is Lydia feeding herself. She loves her snacks and really loves to be a big girls. Sometimes I will put several on her tray. She will grab a handful and most of them fall down in her seat. So when I come with her regular food she will reach down and grab a snack and try to put it in her mouth before I can put the spoon in. She is a such a smarty!

What's New Today

Today has been a big day. Here is Emma she made her first pillow for her baby dolls -- All By Herself. She was so cute. The entire time she kept saying that it was so fun. She even offered her help the next time I sew. She is very proud of herself. Our next project will be to make a blanket for her babies.














Lila got to go on a date with Daddy today. They went to McDonalds and had chicken nuggies. Then they went to Sand Hollow Aquatic center where Lila and Daddy rode the big slide about 30 times. Lila said she screamed a lot! Then she got to spend a dollar at the dollar store. She got herself a little fishing toy.

What a fun day!!

Hail the Conquering Graduate

Our First trip to Salt Lake this summer was for Alex's graduation. It was so special to see him at this special time in his life.

Here are the pics from dinner after the graduation...
