Happy Birthday Emily!

So yesterday was Emily's first birthday, but I held off on the post because I wanted to get some cute cake eating pictures.  So without further ado here are some pics of my sweet Emiloo!

Emily's cake right after "she" blew out the candle!

Emmy waiting to get a piece of cake!

testing the waters

she decided she liked it and was double fisting it!

She had fun making her mess!

Emily and Olivia got matching sister dress up dresses

Opening presents

We had lots of fun Emily got a duck book with a stuffed duck, a baby doll, dress and a bunch of board books that she loves!  She didn't quite catch on to the opening part but this morning she found the extra wrapping paper and started pulling it apart looking for something inside so maybe she got it after all!

It's A Girl!!!

So we went and had our gender check ultrasound and they are pretty sure that it is a girl,  the view was a little bit obstructed by an umbilical cord but even to me she looks like a girl.  Ryan is more than a little disappointed but I am sure he will get over it.   I told him this means he won't have to share his bedroom,  but that didn't help he wants to share.  Well this weekend we have a house guest so he is sharing with Olivia for 3 days,  I have a feeling that he will be a little more excited about not have to share a room after this!  Here are some pics of our girl!

This is how we let Ryan know what we are having.  He was in school so couldn't come to the ultrasound, but his school and our back yard share a fence so we put these up so he could see them at recess.  He was not happy!

cute 3D picture,  Ryan decided she is playing the drums.

rubbing her eyes,  according to Ryan still playing drums!

there is the money shot.  She is a girl!

Cute profile picture I love that you can see her little nose!

Fun stuff update!

We went up to Beaver Dick park this morning because they had sort of a kids outdoor expo.  It was so much fun and the kiddos loved it,   the parents didn't hate it either!

Liv shooting the muzzle loader,  she thought this one was so cool!  She was a little too short so the little old man that was helping set her down on his knee so she could see!

They also got to throw a dummy duck to have a dog go retrieve, learned about what to do if you get lost in the woods,  cast fishing poles, and learned some boat safety.   They really had so much fun and got entered into a raffle to win a gun.  Chris was awesome to stay up and go with us since he worked the night before and had to work tonight too.  Emily and I were there too although their aren't any pictures of us but there might be some in the Rexburg newspaper (if anyone gets this and see a picture of my cute baby if you could save it for me that would be awesome)  because there was a photographer there that took Emily's picture because in her words, "she is the cutest baby ever"  I must say that I have to agree with her!
    Also on a completely separate note we found out that we don't have to wait until our big ultrasound to find out what flavor of baby we are having.  They told us it would only be $25 to do a gender check at 17 weeks,  I was willing to wait but Chris wasn't so we will find out on Thursday!  We are all just a little excited!  Ryan doesn't get to go with us since he will be in school, but since our new house shares a fence with his playground we told him we would hang pink or blue balloons on the fence so that he would be able to find out a recess!  Anyways that is all for now!
