A Fun Weekend

We had a really fun weekend. It started on Friday with a trip to the aquarium. It was so fun, I loved the penguins, they are just so cute. We then went to lunch and shopping with friends. It was a great girls day!
Travis and I also took Emily to the Murray Park Center pool. Emily loved it. She was so brave too. It was so much fun, I think we are going to go back for some swimming lessons this summer!
(Poor Emily is all worn out from swimming)

Emily's First Year Video

Emily's Birthday Celebrations (Part 2)

We had a little family party for Emily on Saturday. It was so fun. We had an Ice Cream Parlour set up and cake. (Sorry the pictures are so dark) The Ice Cream Parlour- Lots of fun toppings.



The Cake.

Emily's Cake
Emily wasn't a huge fan of cake and traded it for a string cheese. What a healthy girl!
After cake and ice cream. Emily opened her gifts. She got lots of fun stuff. Musical instruments, a piano, clothes, a four wheeler, a play center and lots more.
Here is a short video of her playing the piano....
Thanks to everyone who came and helped celebrate Emily's Birthday.

Valentine's Day

To kick off Valentines Day I put this sign on the garage door. I then put string throughout the house...Travis and Emily had to follow it to find their Valentine's Day gifts. This is what was at the end of the string!
Travis bought flowers for me! Aren't they gorgeous.And flowers for Emily. What a lucky girl. Then we had a nice Spaghetti dinner...all three (four) of us. Hudson had some too.
HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!

One Year Pictures







I went and took Emily a couple weeks ago to get her 1 year pictures taken. We went to FotoFly in Draper. She was not really sure about the whole thing and really did not find the photographer funny. The pictures turned out cute though. I was worried since she wasn't very happy.



My big girl!

Happy Birthday Emily!



Happy 1st Birthday Emily. We love you so much. This last year has been amazing. You have brought so much joy and happiness to our family. It has been so great to see how much you have learned over this last year. We are excited to see what this year brings.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY EM!

February already


I cannot believe that it is already February. Our little baby is going to be one in two weeks. How fast did this year go? I feel like we were just bringing her home from the hospital. It has been an amazing year..not always easy, but amazing.

I never imagined what it would be like with Emily and now I can't imagine what it would be like without her.
