Dear Santa...I want a shiny red trike

Christmas lights

We went to go see the Christmas lights in Spanish fork with jimmy, Kira and Jordan. Emery was very intrigued and I think really enjoyed it. It was absolutely freezing but I don't think she even noticed. Pa emery is SO Tyson in pictures. No emotion

Decking the halls

Here is our tree this year. I had something else in mind this year the tree but a friend let me borrow their flocked tree and it had colored lights so we went with a different theme this year. I love doing a different tree every year and so I have a little bit of everything. I actually had all of this stuff already from years past. I love Christmas and making my house festive!

My little helper

Emery loves to make messes. Every room she goes in she has her favorite drawer or cupboard that she likes to take everything out of. That's okay though cause she sue looks cute doing it

Chelsea & Garrett's Wedding

I went to Oregon about a week before Chelsea and Garrett's wedding to help with everything. Their wedding turned out so beautiful! Her dress was gorgeous and she looked amazing. I am actually a little jealous and it makes me want to re-do my wedding. I did all the flowers and her bouquet turned out to be probably my favorite bouquet I have done to date. I am so glad i got to help with her special day and so happy she is married. She married a great guy and we are so glad you are in our family Garrett. Good Luck guys!

Emery 9 months

If you have looked at my blog recently I am sure you have been sorely disappointed in the lack of postings. Please excuse my laziness and decreasing interest in blogging.  They are not really in order but they are from our recent trip to Oregon for Chelsea's Wedding. (and a few from before)

 Getting ready...

Totally out of order. Here she is in her first Halloween Costume

She figured out how to climb up the stairs 

 On her way to feed the chickens and horse at Grandma and Grandpas house

 She loved to sit on my stomach while i bounced on the trampoline. She would just giggle and giggle.

Some other news

Here are a few other updates since I haven't blogged in months

• My Sister Chelsea is engaged! They are getting married in October in Portland
• Emery is crawling, sitting up, sleeping through the night, hates baby food, and loves bath time. I will try and post a few videos of her recently.
• Went to Oregon last week with Emery and my brothers and sisters to be there when Chelsea went through the temple
• Tyson is loving his job and we are hopeful some good things are coming our way
• My brother and his wife, Becky, are preggers and expecting their first boy in December
• I got a new vacuum. I know that sounds like nothing big, but i LOVE vacuuming and it sucked up so much dirt the first time I used it i could NOT believe how much dirt was on my floor and that Emery was crawling around in it.
• I still have a chocolate slider phone, which means I am way past due for a new phone (random I know, but I thought i would share)
• Discovered and starting using pinterest, and I LOVE it, just another way to waste hours on the computer

Family Pictures

Thought I would finally update my blog and post some pictures. Couple weeks ago we had family pictures taken by a friend in my ward, her little photography business is called Bluebird, and she did a great job with our pictures. I am so happy how they turned out.  I need help deciding which picture I should blow up to put in our house? Leave a comment and let me know which ones you like the most to put up in our living room!

Bear Lake

Last saturday we went to bear lake to spend some time with Tyson's family. I have been so bad at posting lately. Here are also a few pictures and updates on Emery, who I cant believe is already 6 months!

She is rolling front back to front and front to back
Her bottom two teeth are poking through
She is learning to sleep without her swaddle
She talks non-stop
She smiles whenever mommy or daddy walks in the room
She holds her own ba-ba
She LOVES the water
She is starting to really like her bouncer

She is just getting more and more fun. I love this stage and how interactive she is now. She is such a blessing in our lives and I probably smother her in kisses too much and squeeze her too hard but I just cant help it. We just love her so much
