What?!? Two posts in one day! I KNOW.. I KNOW!!!

We have had quite the crazy few months. Jaromy's bday was in September. Mine was in October. Both were pretty low key, but fun. We went to dinner for Jaromy's. OUTBACK! Mainly for the bloomin onion! We went to dinner and a movie for mine. It was fun. Thanks to the wonderful family who watch the children so we could go. We got a new swing set, thanks to my wonderful sister. They got a trampoline and had to clear out the backyard. Carter likes it, but not as much as the tramp!


We went to Utah a week after Jaromy's bday for his Grandma's funeral. His grandma was such a wonderful lady, who even though I only knew her for a short time, she will always be remembered by me with such kindness, happiness and hope. She battled cancer for a long time and it was her time. The funeral was lovely. (the parts that i heard- when I wasn't in the hallway with two kids!)

Enjoying the luncheon


Carter is growing so fast! I can't believe all the things he can do and say. He is constantly asking me "Mama, what'r you doining?" His new loves are suckers, running around the house with dad, and jumping next door with his cousins. He can say almost anything now, the only drawback is that usually I am the only one who can understand him. Starting today, he no longer takes naps. He still refuses to eat any fruits and most veggies. When I attempt to feed him such food, he picks at it like it might bite him and say "yucky!" He would watch Toy Story over and over and over again if allowed! He dances, does somersaults, tickles Chase, asks for songs of any subject matter, knows his name, and loves his family!!! He got a hair cut the other day. He looks like a different kid. Here are the before and after shots:

Chase is growing just as fast. He holds his head up great. He is learning to laugh and smiles ALL THE TIME. He loves his hand, and if his fist was just a smidge smaller, he would fit it in his mouth completely. He is such a good baby and doesn't get too picky and eating. I think his favorite time of the day is when Carter plays with him. He is a smiler, but smiles the biggest for his brother.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
it was our ward's Trunk or Treat.


This was the BEST costume I have ever seen. Twins with their older sister.

He's Here!

Chase Weldon Emery has arrived!!

Chase was born on Tuesday evening weighing 7 lbs 13 oz. He is absolutely perfect and we are already loving him in our home. Carter has adjusted pretty well to having him around and is constantly wanting to hold him. The delivery went well and now it is time for the full recovery and adjustment of two children. :)

Today is Carter's second birthday. We are having a little party to celebrate with Jaromy's family today and another little party this coming week with my family. I can't believe how fast the past 2 years have gone. We have learned so much from that little boy and continue to learn. Carter makes our home such a happy place to be. Thanks Carter for being a wonderful little boy and we hope you have a very happy birthday today.

36 weeks and counting plus the fourth of July.

We had a lot of fun doing fireworks on the fourth of July. I didn't get the greatest pictures, but here are a few. Carter really didn't enjoy the ones that we did, but he did like the ones in the air that the neighbors were doing. He just kept saying "bye bye" as we were doing the ones in the street.


So, I have had a few people ask for some prego pictures. This pregnancy I am not that good at taking pictures. This picture was taken probably 2 weeks ago. So at 34 weeks. I am getting closer! Can't wait until little baby no name Emery shows up!!!

Father's Day weekend!

For Father's Day weekend we went to McCall with Jaromy's Parents and brother. It was really fun and relaxing. The weather on Saturday was amazing. We went swimming, went to the Pancake House (of course) and just enjoyed being away. It was great. Carter really learned to love the water. He also has learned to love pospsicles. He wakes up every morning and starts asking for one about 8:30.

I know I am super late, but I wanted to wish my hubby a happy father's day. He just might be one of the greatest I know. I am grateful for him and I know that Carter loves him so very much. He does so much to take care of our family, yet he still manages to be the fun one in the group! HAPPY FATHER'S DAY! I LOVE YOU!!!


I also want to tell my dad HAPPY FATHER'S DAY! He's a great dad... He has been such a great example to me my whole life! Thanks for all you do DAD!!! I LOVE YOU!

It's a wonderful life!

Just a thought....

Today as Carter and I were saying prayers over our lunch, I asked the Lord to help us always remember the things that we have. As I said this, I felt relief. I felt that no matter what trials or struggles we may face, we have so much more than that! After lunch and on our way upstairs for nap time, I sneezed...and in Carter's cute little non- enunciated voice, he said "Ess u" (bless you).
I have been blessed with so many wonderful things in life, especially a wonderful husband, son and another soon to be! Today is great day! Even though it is 45 degrees outside today and rainy.... it's a beautiful day!

Happy Spring!!!

It has been a while, but sadly enough I have not taken tons of pictures in the past month and a half. I need to get better at that! Here are a few pictures of what we have been up to...


After a pretty rain, a pretty spring rainbow in our backyard!!!


When I was 16 or so, I got a hammock for my bday, and we finally set it up in the backyard these past few weeks. Here are my three nieces enjoying a Sunday swing!!!

Smile! Pudding anyone?

We had a get together with some friends awhile ago and I thought I would post some pictures (why is this underlined!!! Sometimes I HATE posting because I wanna throw the computer out the walL!!!_) Anyways :) We did a fun spin off of Minute to Win it! It was a blast. Most of what we have is in video format....I will post those when I can, but here are some pictures.
Above is wrapping yourselves in a whole roll of Toilet paper without breaking the paper.
Here, ya gotta pull out an entire box of tissues one by one using one hand.

Here, we had to get three oreos from our forehead to our mouth using only our face!!!
It was a whole lot of fun. We miss all our boise friends since we moved, but love getting together with them when we can!!!

EASTER!!!!!
Good morning!!!!


Breakfast with Jaromy's parents.

I didn't get any pictures of dinner with my family, except for a few of Carter doing the Easter egg hunt. Here he is....he found one!!!


AND.... HAPPY MOTHER"S DAY!!! This is a day late, but I wanted to say Happy Mother's day to all the mothers out there- especially to mine. I am so blessed to have the mom that I do! She cares, nurtures and will do anything for anyone out there... especially her children. She is amazing! Being a mother is truly the greatest blessing in the world! I am so thankful to be a mother and to have the wonderful little boy that I do. I can't wait to have another little boy around.
