More pics and randomness!

My happy little girl! And Look at that belly!!! Goodness........


.....and rolls!

A couple weeks ago Emery got her first teeth! She was a little more fussy and slobbery than usual..but all in all she was a good little girl. She is always so happy! I love it! So I don't know what it is...whether Emery is jus so stinkin cute (which she is) or if people, expecially foreigners, aren't used to having babies around, but I have found since we have been here that people everywhere we go find her so fascinating and adorable. I don't think I've gone a day without someone making a comment. The other day we went to Yosemite National Park and a woman from India wanted to hold her and take a picture with her. It felt so wierd and we were by a bridge so I just told her that of course she could take a picture of her but I'll hold her. (You never know what people will do...) So with Emery in my arms the woman posed with us as her daughter and son took pictures...It felt so wierd. What a treasure babies are...each one is rare and so different and special. I guess living in Idaho (where are lots of babies) some might take that for granted. It just made be more greatful and thankful that I have a beautiful, healthy and happy daughter. Her smile is truly contagious. I am so blessed.
She loves that thumb.......and that big toe! haha

Goin for a ride! We go for a lot of walks...she gets to go on all sorts of adventures.
This is the first time Emery rolled over...Corey used his phone to get her attention but it worked and then she did it all by herself. It was so fun to watch and i'm so glad Corey got to be there to see it.

Anniversary and more!

So May 19th we had our 2nd year anniversary! Sometimes it feels like we've been married a lot longer than that! We've had many good times, a few bad times, and some great and wonderful memories. I love Corey so much. He is such a wonderful husband. I appreciate everything he does for me and Emery. It is so cute to see him play with Em..she loves hers daddy....and he is such a great dad! Today is also his birthday!! 24..WOW!!! He's still lookin as good as ever! I got him the extended cut, 2 disc version of Taken...he Loves that movie! Love you baby..Happy Birthday!
So the other day I was feedin Emers some squash and she wouldn't stop puttin her hands in her mouth. Then she got tired and started rubbin her face. I got tired of tryin to get her to stop so this is what happened. She got it all over in her hair and gave herself a squash unibrow!!! LOL!

Emery has a new favorite thing in our house...her jumperoo!!! The first time I put her in it she wasn't sure what the heck it was...but she loves it now...it definitely keeps her attention and keeps her occupied when mom needs to get things done!




Emery really likes to scream and yell jus for the heck of it.

Modesto

We finally got the internet at our apt so I can keep up on my blog! I am so behind so this might be a very Long post. And I'll post lots of pics of Emery for ya fam! We are lovin' Modesto. It is definitely starting to warm up! I don't think I've ever lived in a place with such diversity! Our ward is small, but filled with the most generous, loving people; they are so excited to have so many couples in their ward. There are about 6 couples here with APX and they are the funnest people. While our hubbies are out sellin like crazy all the wives get together and find fun things to do. I couldn't ask for a greater group of girls. I am so blessed.
This was taken at the first APX BBQ of the summer. There are a couple wives missing, Noelle wasn't here yet, and Kelly, who just got married (Congrats by the way!). Starting from the left..Ashley, Kiesha (about 6 months prego), Me & Emery, Breeana (ready to pop any day!) and Mindi.

Look at those blue eyes! (And I see Sawyer in this pic....)


She is getting to big for her bouncer chair...:(
Before she could sit up well she would fall back on her bobby and do this and just squeal until I came and sat her up again..then 2 seconds later she would do it all over again..silly girl.

She is getting so big! Since we've been here she has started rolling over (belly to back and then back to belley the week after..) and she got her first little tooth in last week! Followed by a second a couple days ago! She had a checkup this morning and got her 6 months shots:( it was sad. We had to wait forever and when they finally came in to give them to her she was falling asleep so we had to wake her up so she could take the first one orally. She cried pretty hard this time when she got her shots but was ok when I picked her up. I always feel so bad for her and I hate when something hurts her. She weighs about 20 lbs and is in the 100% for weight!..and they forgot to give me all the other info so I have to go back tomorrow and get copies...so I'm not sure how tall but I'm guessing around 28 or 29 inches long. She is a big tall girl!!!
HA HA! Her face is hilarious! Her chunky thighs are so big so everytime I get her out of her bumbo chair she gets stuck!
Mom, compare this picture to the one you have of Gunner on the wall....for some reason it reminds me of him:)She is such an angel...This is how she falls asleep..blanket (or my hair) in hand and sucking her left thumb.....so precious.
