Emma's Celebrations...

This is at a picnic at a park by our house. My friends are so thoughtful. They brought balloons and cupcakes. Emma looks mesmerized by the flame!

Emma and Cha Cha kissing at her party.

Another cupcake. This one from Dippidee's. Yum, yum! I think Dad and Gabe blew the candles out.

Emma now has a new nickname...Paris. Ty, Sarah, and Andie gave Emma this glamour set. Complete with a purse, sunglasses, fake lipstick, car keys, and high heels. So perfect!

And the princesses take a ride in the new wagon...

Flashback Friday...

Me and my little sis, Nell.

This must be about 1979. Check out our shirts. Classic.

A Week in Review...

What a week....Here is what made me smile this week...

• Gabe's Dance Festival...nothing like seeing your 8 year old boy dance with sunglasses! I loved it! He's got some mad dancing skills.
• Gabe finishing 2nd Grade - way to go, bud!
• Emma turning 2!
  
• A picnic at the park with some great friends. They even brought balloons for Emma's birthday, cupcakes, and candles.
  
• ALL the kids got candles in their cupcakes. So cute!
• Seeing our best friends, The Christensen's, finish their home to be in the Parade of Homes. It is AMAZING! And so are they!
• Annie Get Your Gun at the Hale Center Theater with our great friends, The Longs. We have season tickets with them every year. This was one of our favorite performances.
• Planting flowers in my front yard and pots.
  
• Spending part of the weekend in Park City with Jesse - JUST US!
  
• My Mom and Dad watching our kids.
• A Princess Birthday Party for Emma and 3 of her Princess Friends.
• Dippidee cupcakes at the Princess Party in place of cake. Oh, they are so divine!
• Emma calling Jesse's Truck "Mommy's Truck" since I am driving it now. I usually drive around less, so I get the gas hog.
  

Flashback Friday...

Let's continue making fun of my 90's hairstyle and clothing choices, shall we? Okay, here we go...Here are two dances I went to my Senior Year.

Prom...Josh Atkinson. He was/is a genuinely nice guy. Dances are so much more enjoyable with friends, don't you think? I hope I can teach my children this. Okay, onto making fun of the picture...I really am wearing high heels, not moon boots. But guaranteed the shoes are white. Now check out my wrist corsage. Could it be any bigger?? Enough of this one...let's get to the next dance.


Homecoming...Tom Willie. Another really nice guy. Let's make fun of him for a minute. Notice how is hair is a little longer in the back and flips a little. So cool in 1993. Now for me...white shoes...again! Okay...off white. Let's just look at the hair for awhile...uh-huh...and I'm going to leave it at that...

Emma at 6 months...

Happy Anniversary...

Happy Anniversary, Mom and Dad! 43 years and still in love...

Emma and her Cheeks...

Emma is 3 Months here. I think she looks so much older. I still want to just nibble on those cheeks!
