Idaho Falls

Last week Maddix, Emery and I took a trip up to Idaho to see my family.

My sister has just moved into her new beautiful home so we thought what better way to break it in then to pay them a visit!

We had such a great time up there. It was so fun to see Nicole’s house and Maddix was in heaven playing with the girls all day long.

I don’t think Emery has ever gotten as much attention as she did from Dhylan. Dhylan was her little mommy. She informed me on many occasions that she nor their dog could feed Emery because they didn’t have boobies and was so worried that Emery was hurting me because she was biting mine!

Dhylan is such a sweet girl and I love knowing that her and Emery will probably be great friends!

All the girls kept Maddix very entertained and he LOVES them! Thanks Kendahl and Payton for giving up your rooms!

Maddix loves playing dress up in all the girls stuff!

Maddix also loved getting to play with his Papa and Nana every day.

I didn’t get any pictures of my sisters new house but once she sends me some I will post some. Her house is so amazing and it totally makes me want to build again and copy so many things that she did!

Thanks Family for a great week! Love you all!

Emery Lane is 4 months!

Time is flying by. I love each stage but so miss her as a newborn already!

She is loving being more independent lately. She loves to play on her own, well as long as I am within sight and touch!

She is such a funny girl. She definitely knows what she wants and is not happy until she gets it.Whether it’s the position she is held, when she wants to eat, sleep, poop, change positions, be held, be put down, she is crazy!

She can now roll over from front to back and back to front! She is still trying to perfect this skill but has done it several times. She also moves around in circles if you lay her on her back.

She puts everything in her mouth and loves it! She loves to grasp for toys and has a tight grip!

She is a pretty good sleeper. She has a terrible cold right now and so she hasn’t been sleeping very well but most nights she sleeps from 8-2 or3 and then back to sleep till 5 or 6 then up around 7:30 or 8. Takes 2 really good naps 10-12 and then 2-4 then a cat nap around 5:30 for a half an hour or so.

She is mostly such a happy girl. She loves to smile and laugh and is constantly squealing and cooing and babbling.

She loves to blow bubbles or give raspberries.

We love this little girl and can’t wait for the next month to see how much she has changed!

Emery Loves:

Silky and binky. She loves to pull her binky out and then try to put it back in. She is getting pretty good at it.

Loves her bath. She is so content while she is in there. Her and Maddix have been taking baths together and he loves to help.

Loves to be held and bounced. She is doing so well holding up her head and is looking so big when I hold her.

Loves to watch us eat. I hope she is a good eater!

Loves to watch lights/TV. When I put Maddix down for a nap I set her in front of the TV and she is so happy and content.

Loves to laugh and giggle. She is so bashful and can’t stand it when someone looks at her and smiles.

Emery Hates:

Being sick! That is the worst. She can’t breathe or sleep because she has the worst cough and stuffy nose. I hate winter especially for this reason.

Being left alone too long. She likes to make sure she can see us.

To get out of the tub and especially hates getting dressed.

The car seat. This is so hard, I hate going anywhere cause all she does is scream the entire time.Maddix did this too until about 5 months.

We Love you Emery!

Maddix you're Hilarious

I seriously love this boy!

He makes me laugh multiple times each day.

Whether it’s the way he talks (Yeas…he has a little lisp)

Or when he repeats something I don’t necessarily want repeated.

He is a crack up!

He loves Toy Story and anything that goes along with it.

He is such a picky eater but loves crisp bean burritos (A favorite of mine!)

He has a tender heart. His feelings are easily hurt but you can easily make it up to him with a smile.

He can’t help himself, he loves to smile and laugh, has since he was a baby.

He is a little bossy. Likes to tell me to sit, go, lay down, don’t do that.

He is contagiously so freaking cute! I just want to kiss him every minute!

He is a great big brother and loves to help me with Emery.

He loves his trains and we still plays daily with his train set.

He has a weird obsession with his tongue! He likes to lick things, clothes, shoes, feet, chairs, the floor, pretty much everything.

He loves his mommy and daddy and I hope that never changes.

I love him more than I can handle sometimes.

He is my favorite little boy!

Go Chargers!

For Eric’s 30^th birthday I got him tickets to a Chargers football game.

We decided it would be fun to go to a different stadium and see them play the Broncos! That is my brother Dustin and his wife Lisa’s favorite team, so they came too!

It was super cold, but we had a great time!

Thanks Linda, Matt, Jessica and Brent for taking care of Emery and for being such gracious hosts!

Christmas in Cali 2010

This year we went to California for Christmas! We love going there to visit Eric’s family. I always have such a great time there. Eric has the best family and they have the funnest traditions!

Maddix and Kyler waiting for the plane!

Maddix didn’t really get “Christmas” this year. He didn’t get the whole Santa thing, he knows who he is but not that if he is good he will get presents!

Christmas Eve

Santa came and delivered some special gifts to the kids...

Maddix and Emery in their Christmas Eve PJ's!

Mad was loving on Emery :)

Christmas Morning

His favorite present by far this year was Buzz Lightyear! He flew him around all day and played nonstop with him.

Emery got a bouncer and she is loving it!

We played with our cousins, took some pictures, played frisbee golf and ate lots and lots of really yummy food!

Jaden was such a good cousin and played with Emery!

Don't we look hot!

We went and drove go-karts. It was fun!

We also went to the Sacramento Train Museum. Maddix was in Heaven! He loved the big trains and the little ones too!

Thanks Mealey/Allebes family for a great Christmas!

Emery at 3 months

Emery is getting so big!

Her hair is finally starting to grow back in and it is fuzzy all over! She is so much fun and is getting the cutest little personality. She has a ton of spunk and I am sure this is what we can expect from her.

She knows what she wants and is still a little high maitenence but I wouldn’t want it any other way.

She is still a great eater. And we love that she takes a bottle!

She does so well playing by herself. She loves to lay under her playmat and watch the lights. She also loves to stand. I cannot get this girl to sit. Emery also likes to roll over… has been for a couple weeks (from tummy to back) She loves her tummy time. Let’s just say she is an active baby!

She is a pretty good sleeper. She sleeps most nights at least 3-4 hours and is just recently starting to go 5-6 hours. She takes naps pretty well and does good on her own, without a swing (something Maddix never did.)

Emery loves:

To laugh. She has the cutest little chuckle and is for the most part pretty happy.

Her silky and binky. When she gets tired she pulls her silky up over her face. I love it!

Loves to watch lights and music. Either the TV or her play toys that have lights.

She loves to be held and talked to. She is constantly wanting to change positions, if she starts to get fussy I just turn her around and that usually makes her happy.

Emery Loves Maddix! She smiles at him all the time and follows him around. He is really starting to pay attention to her and loves to take care of her.

Loves her baths! She loves, loves them!

Loves to coo and talk. She is making the funniest noises and almost tries to imitate you when you talk (make noises) to her.

Loves her Mommy and Daddy!

Emery Hates:

Getting out of the bath. This makes her so mad.

Getting dressed (maybe that’s why she hates the bath, she knows whats coming next!)

To be ignored, she loves to be the center of any ones attention, especially mommy!

Her car seat. Most of the time she screams the whole time she is in it. Sometimes she will settle down but this doesn’t happen very often.

Emery we love you and your crazy little self!

We are so happy you are ours!

Emery Laughing...
