April happenings

Here are some pictures of April happenings…

We went to the zoo with Tracey and Kelly, and we managed to get all of the kids together for one picture :)


Kelly and Dane made Emmery the cutest 'big girl bed' for her dolls, complete with a quilt and pillows. Of course Emmery likes to sit in it too- good thing it is sturdy!

We went to Dunkin Donuts with Em's friend Allie. Aren't they cute together? Notice how Emmery only ate the frosting on her donut :)

Stacking up her new blocks- love this toy!

And washing her dishes.

We also headed up to Fort Collins one day and visited our old neighbors. We of course had to have breakfast at my favorite- the Rainbow cafe. Denise got us a piece of birthday cinnamon coffee cake- yum!

Oh Moose- how Em hearts you :)


Gymnastics fun!



Kelly gave me some chalk paint for my birthday, and I painted Em's high chair. Here she is checking it out for the first time.

Scrambling for eggs after Easter mass.

We then went down to the Springs to celebrate Easter with our families. I unfortunately didn't get any good pictures- I need to get better at this again with the new baby coming!

Em loves to play with my phone. I found ~30 pictures of her legs!

My mom took Emmery to the park one day while I went to a dr appt, and she decided to start going down the slide by herself!


Singing and dancing with scarves at the library.

Due to all of her interest, we got Emmery a potty. I went in the bathroom to find she scooted it up next to the toilet paper to practice :)

And the next day I went to the bathroom to find this- guess her dolly likes her new potty too :)

At night Emmery often sings, dances, and does flips with Jamison.
We were watching The Voice on tv one night, and after intently watching a girl sing Beyonce's 'Halo' song, Em started singing her own rendition.

37 weeks

Me and my two girls :)

We are looking forward to May and the arrival of the new addition to our family!

Birthday girl

We officially have a toddler- Em turned 2 on March 30!

She woke up that morning to find her new teepee. 

Later she got to open her present from the Jensens- a wooden airplane set!


That afternoon we had a family get-together at a park by our house.
The temperature was luckily warm, but it was a bit windy so her banners had to be hung high 






Quincie just turned 5, so we celebrated her birthday too. Em got her favorite dessert- cupcakes.



After cake, Emmery got to open presents and got some great stuff!

Then she and Quincie provided some live music.

When we got home, Emmery listened to the "happy birthday" text from the Jensen cousins about 20 times.

And shortly after fell asleep in her teepee watching her new Leapfrog dvd from Grandpa Ken and Grandma Patty. All in all, the perfect day for a 2 year old girl! Happy birthday to our little bean.
