Where does the time go?

Well the last few months have gone by fast for our family, but we have been up to a lot, here are a lot of pictures, hopefully you can get through them all. I think I am updated for now.Enjoy.(the piture go from the most recent).

Emma was Snow White for halloween, she was so excited to have her hair curly.

I love this picture, it is a little bit fuzzy, but she looks so Cute

Picking and Carving/painting pumpkins

Picking flowers in the front yard, riding bikes and flying paper airplanes with daddy.

Don't you love her long flowing hair.

We went to the Hill Air Force Museum , Emma was a little bit hessitant to sit in the piolet chair.

This must have been an intense movie about planes

(these pictures are out of order, but you'll get the idea) Grandmama moved to Idaho this summer, before we drove her there we watched fireworks for the 24th of july, went and saw the Copper mine, went to a bee's game, then drove to Idaho while we were there we played some ultimate frisbee and hanging out. Ever wonder what emmanuel would look like with long black hair?, Now you don't have to wonder anymore.

Relaxing at the park, Swinging with grandma, swimming at grandma and papa's, and the occasional nap in time out.

We are expecting our 2nd girl on March 4, 2011, We are very excited. Emma already loves "being" a BIG sister, she gives my belly hugs and tells her sister that she loves her (we'll see how long that last when she is actually here).

Things we have been up to... Warning Picture Over load

Emma started a gymnastics class, she loves it, she gets to run around and play with the big exercise ball.

This is Emma doing the elphant, very technical gymnastic stuff
Emma wanted me to take a picture of her and her ponies
Emma Loves to read. I found her in the closet of her playroom reading/looking at pictures.
Emma and Daddy playing before church, daddy is Emma's boy and when I play with them I am the honey, she is so cute.
This was the third night that we found Emma fast asleep with her lamp on and books all over her bed and floor, it is really cute, but she stays up late and isn't very happy the next day.
We are so lucky to live across the street from some horses, Emma loves to go and look at them and try and feed them.
More books. We went to the Salt Lake library downtown with Steph, Dylan and Taylor, she was so excited to be around all those books.
Just a cute picture of Emma
Emma and Spencer playing Baseball/football.
This is NOT Emma, it is "Butterfly Girl"
Taylor played soccer this year, we made it to most of her games, it is always interesting to watch young kids play sports.
Emma doing her stretching at gymnastics, not sure how it ended up at the bottom, ohwell, at least I am putting new pictures up. Hope you all enjoyed the over load of pictures.

St. George

At the end of January, we went to St.George with Janelle & Dean. Janelle was running in the half marathon, so we went along for the ride. It was so much fun, thanks Ayala and Pond family for the great weekend.
These first three pictures are mostly for my family, but I am sure you will all get a great laugh out of the story...So when I was 15 my family decided to take a weekend trip to St.George to visit some friends, so we borrowed my grandpa's motor home and headed down, things were going great until we got to Holden, UT, which is in the middle of no where(as you can tell from the pictures) anyway the motor home broke down right at exit 174, this being the time in life when cell phones were not really heard of, so after calling my grandpa and waiting and waiting and waiting for him to come and get us and the motor home, we had to drive back to salt lake and pick up our minivan and leave the next day, I think it was the longest day of my life, but we did make it a great adventure. We even made up a song about Holden, UT. It is definitely one of my favorite memories with my family. Love you guys!

This was the first time Emmanuel had been to In-N-Out burger, I think he really enjoyed it, they now have 2 in the salt lake valley, so we wont have to take special trips to St. George just to go there.

Emma, loves making this face for every picture latley, I think her face is cute no matter what she is doing, I just think it is funny that she has just started doing it.

The St. George Temple

This is my favorite temple, I have never been inside, but I love the outside it is so pretty up against the red rock of southern utah, I would have loved to get married here but Heavenly Father had a different plan for me and Emmanuel. We had such a great time at the visitor center and walking around the temple grounds.

The first night we were there Janelle and Dean went to dinner for the work convention Dean had, so we got to spen most of the night with Davis, we went to cafe rio for dinner and then went swimming in the hotel pool, after we came and gave the kiddos a bath then let them play till Janelle and Dean got back. These two always have so much fun together, we love having Davis as a friend

Janelle's big brother Travis came up from Las Vegas to watch Janelle run and spend time with his sister and brother Preston, He has 5 kids and two of them are twins, and are a year older than Emma, there names are Ajay and Aden, Emma loved playing with them, but mostly hung around Ajay, they were so cute to watch.

Thanks again for the wonderful trip
