MY HAPPINESS...


...It doesn't get any better than THIS!

I just LOVE her!!!

STATE FAIR OR BUST

If you go to the state fair you will see things there that you've never seen before:
Have YOU ever seen balls that big before? Yeah, neither had we!


If you go to the state fair you'll eat things there that you've never eaten before just so you can tell everyone you've eaten something that they haven't...but, you'll REGRET eating it after a few bites:



If you go to the state fair you'll come face to face with stinky creatures that are just as curious about you as you are of them:



If you go to the state fair there's a good chance by the time you leave you will have made your cholesterol go up a few notches because you just couldn't resist trying the deep fried oreos AND the deep fried twinky AND the deep fried brownie AND the deep fried snickers:



If you go to the state fair you probably wont see anyone there you know...so you can go ahead and act as "fruity" as you'd like and it wont even matter:



Have you ever been to a state fair???


I'm excited to go to the state fair again next year!

EMMA'S FIRST HAIRCUT

My sister Natalie convinced me that it would be OKAY for Emma to get her hair cut. It was getting pretty wild, and it was time for a trim, but I was so nervous! Needless to say....I sucked it up and watched my little baby get her first haircut. Emma was good the whole time and was pretty happy until the very end when she got impatient and started throwing her head back :o)

RECENT HAPPENINGS

It's been a little while since I posted a blog, so I thought I'd update on our recent happenings....

*August 19Th was our 3 year Anniversary


My Mom and her boyfriend Bryan came to SLC and babysat Emma for us while we went to the Salt Lake Temple and out to dinner at Red Lobster...it was so great to get out and celebrate together, we've been through a lot together in the past 3 years!


*My little sister Katy was Homecoming Queen at Carbon High School. It was really exciting to go to Price and see her in the parade and crowned Homecoming Queen at the football game during Labor Day weekend.






*Emma was able to spend some time playing with her 2 cousins Logan and Carson at the end of August. She LOVES being with them and has fun watching them run all over the place.



*Clark enjoyed going fishing twice during the long Labor Day weekend we had. The first time he went fishing at a river, and the second time he went fishing at a Lake with our brother-in-law Austin and our cutie nephew Logan.

EMMA'S 5 FAVORITES

Emma keeps getting more and more fun! She's been smiling SO much lately, and is becoming quite a HAM! She's still sleeping through the night(hallelujah) and has been really talkative lately, too! My main goal as a Mommy right now is keeping this little gal entertained. And how do I do that....? well, with her 5 favorites:

#1 Her Swing...this has been a life-saver for me, she absolutely LOVES it!










#2 "Tubby" her Hippo- you should see how tight she holds on to this thing :o)










#3 The Bumbo(this is a new one, THANKS Auntie Nat for letting us barrow it)













#4 Going on walks! If Emma is fussy, a nice walk in her stroller really calms her.













#5 Mommy and Daddy...YAY! Of course we're part of her 5 favorites, a lot of the time we are a HUGE source of entertainment to her!

9 WEEKS OLD

Sweet little Emma is 9 weeks old today...I can't believe it! It's crazy how fast time has passed! Her colic has gotten a lot better, and we are so lucky that she sleeps all through the night(she has ever since she was 2 weeks old, yay)! She smiles SO much now too...especially in the mornings she is almost always happy and smiley!

BUSY...BUSY...BUSY...
4th of July/Emma's blessing/Clark's Family Visiting/Weekend in Price

We've been very busy lately with so much going on! First off we had Clark's family come out from New Jersey to meet Emma and visit for 2 weeks. We enjoyed spening time with them, and especially loved having his siblings, Brandon and Sarah, spend the night at our place a few nights while they were here.

We had a very nice 4th of July...we went to sugarhouse park with Clark's family and ate KFC(my family tradition) and watched the fireworks there. Emma wasn't sure what to think of the fireworks at first, but she got used to them quickly!

*I just LOVE this picture I took of her on the 4th of July :o)


On the 5th of July we had Emma's Baby Blessing. It was such a special day for us, and Clark gave Emma a beautiful blessing! It was great to have so many friends and family there to share the day with us. After the blessing/sacrament meeting we had a picnic lunch at a park close by.

This past weekend Emma and I drove down to Price with my brother Garrett to spend time with family there. Clark had to work thur-sat, so he came down on sunday and spend the day with us.
