little prayers

Abbie says the sweetest prayers. She has started saying all the prayers at our house and listening to them is one of the best parts of my day.
Tonight she said the prayer at bedtime and here's a little piece of the goodness

"... thank you for the tree with the fruit (we had just read about the Tree of Life in her scripture book),
please bless daddy to be safe in dahoo (haha, he's in Idaho for work),
please bless baby sister to sleep real good,
please bless mama to not get mad when i get out of my bed,
please bless me to stay in my bed..." isn't she great!

3 months

Yesterday Emma Jo turned 3 months.
Here's some info about our little gal

Emma is a rock-star sleeper. She has been from the start. but lately she's been heading to bed around 10 and sleeping til at least 9. a few days ago she slept from 9:30 pm til 12:30 the next afternoon.Emma is super happy (possibly related to the before mentioned rock-star sleeping) It is so fun to see her big smiles and she is starting to giggle and it's hilarious. Clark and I are constantly trying to get her to laugh, but it's mostly Abbie who gets her laughing.




Emma is our little redhead! It's a really pretty color and I hope it stays (surprising coming from me who doesn't like my red hair). her hair is not only red, but crazy - it stands straight up all the time, i used to try and get it to lay flat - but have since embraced the mohawk (Abbie's hair did the same thing - they get it from their dad)
Emma LOVES her big sister Abbie. Abbie is constantly in Emma's face and I am CONSTANTLY telling Abbie to "leave Emma alone" - but all the while Emma just smiles and giggles at Abbie. There is an age difference between them, but i really hope these two can be best buds.
Emma sucks on her bottom lip - and hums. It's really random and i have yet to catch it on video, but i'm trying :)

We haven't decided if Emma's eyes are going to be blue or brown yet - they are still in between. some days they look blue and others they are golden brown.

Emma sucks on her fist - and gags herself trying to fit the entire thing in her mouth.

Emma LOVES bath time.

We have been spending quite a bit of time outside the past few weeks and Emma really likes it. I think she's going to be an outside girl like her sister.
Emma is such a sweet baby and we are so blessed to have her in our family - Happy 3 months Em!

biased opinion

Alright people, so i may be a bit biased.
But i think i've got stinkin' cute kids...

we are LOVING the sunshine weather and the backyard
hooray for summer!

Emma girl

this little gal went to bed around 10:30 last night and is STILL sleeping.
*note: it's past 11am
she has been an awesome sleeper from day 1 ... hope she keeps it up!

proud moments

my talented 3 year old :) haha

btw - she was practicing her new "talent" in sacrament meeting this past week. I'm sure we made a great impression our first week at our new ward.

catching up

well, we moved.
we're now Springville residents.
it's an adjustment, and we're adjusting :)our belongings have been in storage for a 1.5 years - needless to say unpacking is quite the task.
moving with a 3-year old and a 2 month old adds to the task.today was Abigail's last day of dance class. Recital next week. can't wait.
clark gets home tonight from a 4 day business trip to NC. can't wait
emma is wonderful. the girl usually goes to bed between 9&10 and sleeps til 7or8. love it.
i got an iphone for mother's day. love it. love it. love it.

How did this little gal get to be 2 months old? it is cruising by way too fast!

oh and we moved ... lots to update when i get a chance
