Catch Up!

Busy, busy, busy, that is how I would describe the past several weeks of our life...so a little catching up is in order!

We had Brynly's end of the school year singing program, it was an Annie theme. Bryn did so good, it was so darn cute!!

Lexy is now 8 months old, becoming quite a chubba!! She just started clapping, it is so cute!! She isn't moving yet, besides rolling...which is OK with me since we are already trying to keep up with another busy bee!
Emry took painting her fingernails and toe nails into her own hands, and literally got it all over her hands, arms, feet, carpet, and PJ's.

We went camping last weekend to Lava Hot Springs. We stayed at a fun little campground that had a little fishing pond. The girls each caught a fish with the assistance of their dad, they thought it was lots of fun.

Trent and Bryn getting off the slides...or the wedgie makers as I liked to call them!

Today Emry went in for another surgery. Trent and I found a growth under her tongue about two weeks ago and Dr. Hinckley removed it today.

Before surgery snuggled with grandma.

Waking up from anesthesia.

The hardest part of the whole thing was that her tongue was numb and we didn't realize it when she was eating her popsicle and she was literally chewing up her tongue and making a mess of it! Poor girl, she now has one sore tongue!

We are SO SO SO ready for some summer weather. This rain cold business is getting really old!!

Emry's Preschool days

Emry was so lucky to get to go to Preschool for four days at Hillcrest High School. She got to go to work with her daddy and I would go pick her up at 12:00. She absolutely LOVED it!!! Here is her graduation picture getting her diploma.



The teacher told me that the girls (students) loved her and wanted to take her home because she is so cute and lots of fun! I did have some pictures of her with the principals but some how all my pictures got erased on my camera!!! Good thing most of them are on our computer! :)

Lexy...

Our littlest one is 6 months old already!! She is a VERY loved little girl! She weighs 15lbs. 12 oz. and is 26 1/2 inches tall. She has her two bottom teeth already (you can kind of see them in the picture) and is working on mastering sitting.

Easter Dresses

Grandma Sue gave the girls these beautiful Easter dresses--- my three angels!!

(**notice that the angel that is five did some fabulous work on her hair with scissors!)

Birthday Boy!!

Oh how we LoVe this guy!!! Happy Birthday!!! :)

Spring Break and Easter

We enjoyed a week of Spring Break! We wished Mother Nature would have gotten the memo that is was SPRING, but she "got it all wrong" Bryn said. It was nice to get a few projects done and enjoy time together. We loved having daddy around all week! Then we had Easter...

We had a really enjoyable Easter weekend! I loved having General Conference the same weekend, it was sooo good as usual! After we saw what the Easter bunny brought to our house and found all the eggs hidden around the house, we went to Grandpa Rod's and Grandma Sue's for breakfast and watched conference. Then after we came home and had naps and watched the afternoon conference we went to Grandma and Grandpa Dabells for a YuMmY dinner and fun Easter baskets!

March...

I feel like I say this all the time, but where does time go? It seems to fly by so fast!!

Trent started baseball the end of February, he is coaching freshman again this year. We see very little of him, but he LOVES it!

Brynly found this extra unused Book Of Mormon, she asked if she could have it and now sleeps with it every night...


Our sweet baby is growing EXTREMELY FAST!! If Lexy is awake, Brynly is at her side playing with her and kissing her, she gets LOTS of attention!! She has rolled from her belly to her back a few times and can almost sit by herself...I am not encouraging any of these things! :) This is one of her new tricks, to pull down her headband and eat it!
She is such a happy and smiley little cutie. I just can't get enough of her!

Oh, did I mention she has cut two teeth already???

This is the only picture I have from a fun weekend Trent, Lexy, and I had in Salt Lake City. Trent got his birthday present a little early...going to the Jason Aldean Concert! He LOVED it!! We had tickets on the 15th row on the floor in the Energy Solutions Center...it was fun! We also got to spend time with our friends the Kotters and the Flippences. It was so nice to have a little get away, I love spending time with my hubby! A big thanks to Angie and Brady for watching Emry and Brynly!!! This is Lexy and daddy enjoying some March Madness at our hotel.

As for our sweet sweet Emry, she is still a busy busy busy bee!!!

We are definately ready for spring!!! :)

Look who is 4 months!

Oh my gosh I can't believe Lexy is already 4 months old!!
* she weighed just under 12 pounds (15th percentile) and 24 3/4 inches long (68th percentile) at her 4 month appointment last week.
* she sleeps from 9 pm to 6 or 7 am
* she has been giggling for several weeks now, and it is so cute we LOVE it!
*she is very patient except when it comes to her food!
*she still likes to be swaddled to go to sleep
*she loves baths
*she is very ticklish
*she has big tears when she cries
*she loves her sisters
*she loves to stand up on your lap
*she would NOT take a bottle for a while, but since starting rice cereal she will once in a while.
*she pretty much has us all wrapped around her little finger!





Lexy's first time eating rice cereal, she loves to eat it now but the first time not so much. I wish I would have caught her first bite and the look at that said "THIS TASTES DISGUSTING!" We love this little doll! :)

More Brynlyisms

She went with Trent on an errand and came home after bedtime. As they were getting out of the car Trent asks her "what's wrong?" she said "nothing" then as they walked in the door and he asked her again and she says " I'm just tired of course" what five year old says of course? :)

She got on the scale and said her feet weigh 40!

She learned how to whistle like her dad and first she has to get her lips "ready" then she has to make a tune just like her dad. She is proud as punch!!

Missy found a saying that fits Emry PERFECTLY right now-- "Chaos, Panic, disorder...my work here is done" :)

Crazy Tub Hair!!!

Valentines Day Weekend

Our Presidents/Valentines Weekend was spent up at the cabin in Island Park with my parents and sisters families. We had a nice time relaxing and playing! The girls loved to play in the snow and ride on the sled behind the snowmobile. My dad absolutely LOVES to be a grandpa. His life revolves around his family-- in particular the grandkids. Where ever they are, he is...having just as much fun as them and being just as loud and crazy as them!! He asked my mom to bring all the stuff for him and the kids to make Valentines sugar cookies. They had so much fun making a big mess and some yummy cookies!! :) I am so grateful to have such good parents, and I love that they love to be with our kids pretty much over everything else.





It is always nice to spend time together and have fun doing it!

Lots of Pictures!

Lexy and her CUTE smile!

She is a very happy baby and has been a breeze so far. (knock on wood) Brynly loves to be a big sister and tote her all around. She loves to play and talk to Lexy and Lexy LOVES her lots!

I went into Lexy's room to find her in the swing with Brynly's favorite little Webkinz dog LuLu.

We made peanut butter play dough and the girls loved that fact they could eat it and play with it!

Everyday is an adventure with our sweet (and kinda naughty) fashionista Emry...

in at least 4 or 5 layers of clothes here

a little scantily clad here
the sunglasses add just the right touch here

and here she is in Bryn's pajamas over top of her clothes. You never know what she will come upstairs dressed in next! She LOVES LOVES LOVES to dress up!
