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!

Ryan shooting the muzzle loader with Dad's help.

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!

New Baby

So I kinda have a lot to update but our camera is broken so it will be a mostly picture less update.  So Christopher and I were able to leave the kids with his mom and go to Las Vegas for a radiographic educators conference, it was so nice to have some time to ourselves and just enjoy, we actually did a lot of relaxing and not a lot of going out but that was okay for us.  We did go to a hockey game.  When we got back we found out that our landlords were going to do a short sale on our home and could there fore not have tenants so we would have to move.  That was on Sunday and by Wednesday we had found a new place closer to Ryan's school and actually a better fit for our family, so we signed papers on Wednesday and decided to move on Monday of the next week as it was presidents day and the only day that not only Chris had off but our families had off too to be able to help.  So I got to packing and on Thursday was packing up the bathroom and found some pregnancy tests along with some feminine stuff and thought huh it is about that time maybe I will just take a pregnancy test to see if it is okay to pack all of this stuff up, not seriously thinking that I was pregnant, but low and behold the test came back positive.  This actually made sense since I had been pretty much dead on my feet and not feeling great for the past week or so.  So amidst  all of this fun we moved to a new house that we love.  Christopher and I were also able to take another kidless trip to Phoenix for his brothers wedding.  It is nice to have parents that are willing to watch our kids and nice to have a mini vacation together before we get into the throws of this pregnancy and we will have 4 kids before we know it.  
Anyways so we are expecting baby #4  he or she (we are all kinda hoping he around here, even Olivia) is set to arrive at the end of October so the baby will be just less than 17 months younger than Emily.  I was hoping to have a very non ill pregnancy because last time I had babies this close together the 2nd one I felt a lot better than the first one but so far no dice and I am dealing with mucho morning sickness.  Every morning I bless the invention of Zophran.  So we had our first appt. today and confirmed that there is just one baby in there (yay)  and that so far everything looks perfect!  Here is a pic. of our cute little blob.

Cute Emiloo!

I thought I would post these cute pics of my Emiloo this was me trying to get a cute pic of her! Emily is 8 months old now she has had 2 teeth that she got at about 6 months.  She has also been crawling since she was 5 1/2  or 6 months and is now trying to walk.  She likes to stand up against the kitchen chairs and use them as walkers to walk around the house.  She says hi, dada, mama, and bubba.  At the end is a picture of Olivia in the same dress but younger than Emily was in this picture. Aren't my babies beautiful?

Livvyloo and Ryan too!

Halloween

Here are some of the pics I was finally able to download of Halloween.  Ryan was batman, Olivia was a skeleton and Emily was a pumpkin!

We waited in line forever for trick or treat street and then when we finally saw where the  line  went to we got out of line and went and bought some candy and got some ice cream!

Emily was a trooper and just fell right to sleep
