MAYCIE

Happy Birthday to my baby girl!! I can't believe she is already 2!! Maycie is such a joy to have around. She has such a tender heart and loves to dance and sing all day long! We love watching her grow and figure out the world around her. As tradition goes we start off the special day with a pancake breakfast.

Mother's Day

My sweet hubby and kiddos woke up extra early to make me breakfast in bed...

And, OH BOY, it was good!! Thank you!

Emery's interpretations of a few Christmas songs...

"Hosanya, Hosanya, Hosanya to Disney"

"Feliz Nubby-dub, Feliz Nubby-dub..."

I just giggle inside everytime I hear her sing these songs.

The Sweetest Thing

Our girls' bedtime routine consists of reading books, scripture stories, prayers, singing songs, and then Lots of Hugs and Kisses! I always whisper "I Love You" to each of them when I hug them. Well, tonight Maycie whispered back:

"I-la-lu"

It was the sweetest thing ever considering that Maycie hardly talks.

WHITNEY

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WHITNEY!
Although she is no longer with us we think of her often. We are grateful to have this day to celebrate her. It will always be a tradition for our family to celebrate Whitney's birthday. Although Emery has vague memories of her and Maycie has never met her we want them to know how her through the memories we have of her.
We will always remember her sassy smile, raspy voice, and the spontaneity that she brought to the fam!
LOVE YOU WHITNEY!

Best of Friends

Our really good friends, the Unck's, moved to Omaha a few weeks ago. I was just emptying the pics from my camera and came across the sweet pictures. We have many sweet memories with the Unck family! We miss them lots. Emery still talks every about how next time we drive to Utah we will stop in "Homaha". And that she is going to marry Tyler.

4 on the 4th!

Today was Emery's 4th birthday!

I cannot believe that I have a 4 year old. Oh my how time flies. On Friday we took Emery to get her hair cut, which was very special for her because it was her first time at the salon. I usually cut her hair myself. We then went to her favorite place for dinner, McDougal's Chicken Fingers. And then that night she went to have a sleepover with Kinzy and Kaylie. Since Sharalee and Steve were out of town Mama Sharon was there watching the kids. For breakfast the next morning Mama Sharon fed them ICE CREAM w/sprinkles and M&M's, and Banana Bread... Oh and pears! They are so spoiled! Our tradition is to have a pancake(with a candle) breakfast for our kids birthdays. We did it at Sharalee's house so we could watch General Conference with them. Then after General Conference we celebrated with family and friends at our house. Emery wanted a Dora cake but since I am not a fan of character cakes I asked her if she had any other ideas. She said a rainbow cake would be good. So rainbow cake it is. And I, loving to create in the kitchen, went all out and even died the cake in rainbow colors. Emery LOVED it!

Ok, so I am proud of the cake!

Finger Lickin' Good

Last night for dinner I made BBQ ribs. YUM! As soon as Emery came to the table she saw them and with a smirk said, "What is that?!" We told her it was ribs and she said that she didn't like them. Emery is not a picky eater and we do have the rule that we must at least try 1 bite of everything. Emery tried her bite and couldn't get enough. She probably ate 4-5 herself!

When You Wish...

Emery and I went on a date on Friday night!! We went to see a play called "When You Wish", a Disney Musical. Emery put her Cinderella dress on and we were off! She thought that it was great that just she and I were going, WITHOUT MAYCIE!!

Waiting for the show to start!

A friend of ours from our ward was Snow White in the play! She did great!
