~~WARNING: PICTURE OVERLOAD!~~

The Happy Birthday Girl

Kris, Brooklyn, Dustin, Daddy the grill master, Echo and Zoey

Zoey, Rebecca, Allie, Justin, My Mom and Dad

We couldn't get Emma to sit still and eat, she wanted to socialize with everyone.

Present Time. This girl is so "LOVED"

She wasn't too sure about the flame right in front of her.

The cake however, she loved.

Oh Yeah, Thanks to Uncle BJ and Aunt Zoey Emma now has a new drum set, which by the way she loves to play!

Her new sleeping bag

Yep it was our baby's 2nd birthday. On Tuesday Sept 27 which was her actual birthday we went to breakfast at J & D's here in Brigham then we went to Shopko and let her pick out a new toy. After Brock went to work Emma and I went to Zoey's work (Zoey loves to take Emma around and show her off to her co-workers. All of them know who Emma is) she had birthday balloons waiting for Emma. One of them was a big aluminum balloon with princesses on it and if you hit it, it would sing "Happy Birthday". She LOVED it! Then for dinner Mugga, Pappa, Zoey and Mommy went to Dairy Queen for dinner so she could have an ice cream treat for her birthday.

Wednesday night Emma got the flu and it lasted until Friday night :( NOT FUN!!

Saturday, OCT 1st we had a Minnie Mouse themed Party/BBQ for her birthday with family and friends. It was a fun weekend. My parents and sister-in-law came up from Arizona and My brother also came down from Boise. The fun part about that was my sister-in-law Allie didn't know my brother was coming down and they hadn't seen each other for weeks. There also were Rod, Kris, BJ, Zoey, Tyler, Rebecca, Grandma Jackie, Dustin, Echo, and Brooklyn. Grandma Jackie was laughing so hard when Emma was opening her presents and especially when Emma started playing her drums. She told Rebecca that she hadn't had this much fun in a long time. Icing on the cake to hear her say that.

She had so much fun!

OUR AWESOME NEW (Well new to us) TRAILER!!

At the end of August there was a family in our ward who were being transferred to Hawaii for work (rough life;) ) and they were selling this trailer that they had bought a year before from her parents. It was in good condition for being built in 1988. We made them a good offer and they took it. It came with all the supplies they had kept in there for camping which was a HUGE bonus cause getting stuff like plates, silverware, cups, etc. can be expensive. Its only 20" but it definitely works for the 3 of us.

UPDATE: So a couple of weeks ago our trailer was vandalized. It was parked up to the Shop and one day Rod noticed that both of our batteries had been stolen. So he called the police and when the officer showed up he took a look around and asked Rod if we had the trailer registered. Rod told him that we had just bought it about a month prior and had it registered and everything and the officer commented that the license plate had been stolen as well. Stolen would be putting it mildly, it was RIPPED right off of the trailer. So the officer made a comment that the workers that were working on the Ruby Pipeline had just pulled out of town the day before and come to find out that some of them were staying at the Galaxy Motel located just behind the Shop. The officer figured they must have stolen it because it was registered up til next September. (Moment to rant) What gives people the right to think they can steal from me!! When those pipeline workers make probably twice as much as we do and could definitely afford to go buy their own license and batteries! GRR!!!

Funny Things Emma Says/Does

Oh my! Emma is so stinkin' funny! We've got her to tell us when she is pooping (not that we need to be informed) and one day she came and told me "Mommy, I poopin" and then she added "Its a big one(grunt, grunt)." Then another time of "Its a Big One" was when we went to Hill AFB to the airplane museum. It was about the airplanes. Lately when she sees one of us on the phone she looks at them and says "Who's that? Its Jerry" Jerry is usually the person Grandma or Grandpa P are talking to or she says "Its Daddy" when she is talking to me. One day at lunch Emma was sitting in her high chair and she looks at BJ (who is just standing there by the microwave), she then laughs and says "Bob is funny!" And last but certainly not least, just today we were driving and she had my phone and she says to Brock. "I texting Daddy!" LOL!!!!! She never ceases to amaze me!

What a weekend!!

We just got home from helping my parents move to Litchfield Park, AZ. It is a suburb of Phoenix. My dad has been relocated for work. We weren't going to go down but when my parents needed another UHAUL tailer we hooked it to our truck and off we went. Luckily Brock had this Friday off. We left Perry around 4:30 pm on friday and drove to just north of Las Vegas and took a snooze there from about 1:15-4 am then we were on our way again. We arrived to their house around 9:00am (pacific time) and unloaded their stuff and then Brock and I headed back home at about 3:30pm. We spent the night in St George and headed home the next morning. What a crazy weekend! But here is a picture of my parents new house. It is so cute!

3 beds 2 baths and a POOL!

Lazy Days of Summer!

I absolutely LOVE being a stay home mommy! Here are some random pics of our lazy days.


What a precious "Cheezy" smile Emma has

This is what we call a kiss with Hands

She loves playing with her old headbands, she like to wear them for fun but I can't for the life of me get her to wear one to go with her outfit.

Oh Boy! Terrible Twos here we come, she had just thrown a fit and daddy took a picture of her crying, he was laughing at her cause I'm sure what she was throwing a fit over was completely rediculous as usual.

Our CUTE little friend Brooklyn was paying at our house for a few days while her mommy was at work, she is in the stages of trying to crawl.

Also at the Zoo!

So while at the Zoo Rebecca and I came across the SUPER HUNKY GUY!! The one and only David Boreanaz from the TV shows Bones, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel!! We both LOVE him and were way star struck! Rebecca told me that we should go and talk to him and maybe see if he would take a picture with us but I was scared out of my mind and totally in AWE But then I thought he is here with his family, he probably doesn't want to be bugged. So in passing one time Rebecca told him that She loved his shows and his work and he was very kind and said " Thank you so much, that is very kind." I am im LOVE!! <3 All we kept thinking was why on Earth would someone like him come to the Utah Hogle Zoo, and after some online searching Rebecca found out that his wife is actually from the West Jordan area. The first picture is one I got off the Internet and the following are ones we took of him. Yeah we were kinda Stalking him. But with looks like that who wouldn't want to right?

The Zoo ( Again :) )

Yep Emma and I went to the Zoo again. We just can't get enough of that place! Also Aunt Rebecca wanted to sepend some quality with Emma.

Father's Day @ Boondocks in Kaysville

When I was little and still living in California, my Mom and my Grammie would plan a surprise Father's Day date for my Dad and my Grandpa. This year my Mom thought we should continue the tradition. So we planned to take Brock and my Dad to Boondocks in Kaysville. For those who haven't been there or know what it is, it is a place that has an arcade, bumper boats, race car tracks, batting cages, bowling, and miniature golf. We bought passes to do all of it. It was so much fun and then we went to Cafe Rio (YUMMY!) to have dinner.
