Emri will be the best dressed lil' girl...if only I knew how to sew

I was looking on my friend's facebook page and she had a link to this website. I fell in love with this little girl's outfit. I would love Emri to have the entire thing. The only probably is...I suck at sewing. Everytime I need the littlest thing done, I have my Mom do it for me. So, if anyone wants to make this outfit or anything as cute as this for baby Emri...feel free. I added 2 more links from the same blog, but just to give you an idea of what I want Emri to wear.

Changes and surprises!

Ryan and I have had a crazy last few weeks of changes and surprises. First we found out we are having a baby girl in June. Her name will be Emri. I like "Emri" but Ryan doesn't like that spelling, so the spelling could possibly change. Then we bought a new house in Hidden Springs. It is perfect. We are so excited to start our lives out in the boonies. It is actually so far away that my phone didn't get coverage. So Ryan bought me an Iphone with a new carrier. Thank you Ryan. We still had not sold our home and I was kind of nervous spending a lot of money on a new house knowing that we had payments on our house now. But the Lord does hear our prayers and I think He answers mine more quickly than most people, knowing that I am not patient and can't sleep because of worry. So He was nice enough to answer my prayer about finding a buyer for our house within the week. Needless to say, we got a full price offer yesterday. By the end of the month we will be in our new home. We are all very excited. Everytime we have gone to our new house, Jaxon says, "my house". It will be fabulous. He will have so much fun playing in the big yard, swimming, exploring in the foothills, riding his bike all over the neighborhood and much more.

New Year's In California

So excited beforehand and then so shy while he is hugging Mickey.

"Oh my goodness, there Goofy", said Jaxon.

Every year my husband's family takes a trip right after Christmas for a week. This year we went to Seal Beach, CA. It was gorgeous and the most perfect weather. We were spoiled rotten with activites, food, and 75 degree weather. We spent a lot of time on the beach, went the aquarium, Disneyland, rode a 4 person bike in Balboa Island, pretended to shop on Rodeo Dr., walked around Hollywood, shopped, ate a lot of great food and hung out in the jacuzzi on the roof. It was a fabulous trip. Brenda even sent all the girls to a spa for the day. We each received a body massage, facial, manicure, pedicure, make-up and hair done. They even had lunch sent to us on their private patio. It was so relaxing. The boys took all the kids to the Angel's Stadium and Rainforest cafe for the day while their women got pampered. As you can tell, I had a fabulous time.

New baby...new house

We finally told our family that I was pregnant on Thanksgiving, so now it can be open news. Yeah! I'm pregnant. Jaxon pokes my belly button (kinda hard sometimes) and then kisses it and says "hello baby JoJo". Ryan always called the baby while it was still an embryo, JoJo the Embryo. And now that it is a fetus...he calls it Clitus. So now Jaxon says, "hello baby Clitus". It is really cute. He is going to be the best big brother. We are all very excited.
We also put our house on the market TODAY! Ryan and I were not planning on moving until we outgrow this house...maybe when we are pregnant with our 3rd child or something. But the timing is just perfect. We have already looked at a few houses in Hidden Springs subdivision and we will go look at a few in Southeast Boise just to compare. We love both areas. So now we just have to sell this beauty and then we will be in our dream home. We are so excited.

Farmstead

Jaxon has been looking forward to the Farmstead for over a week now. We finally got to go because it stopped raining for a day or so. He LOVED it. He rode a mini horse, fed and pet animals, ran through a mini hay maze (since Ryan hates corn mazes and didn't want to do it.) He rode a tractor pulled cow, ate mini doughnuts, played on the toys and picked out a couple pumpkins. He had a blast. It is kind of hard picking out pumpkins with a 2 year old. He picked up every pumpkin he could carry and set it in our cart. I was putting back pumpkins all night. He thoroughly enjoyed it though and that is all that matters.

My Baby Boy is Not A Baby Any Longer

Jaxon is 2 years old! I cannot believe it. Daddy came home from work as usual at 7:45am and had made Jax Mickey Mouse pancakes and eggs. Then we had a fun filled day while Daddy slept. After Ryan woke up around 3pm, we opened presents. Ryan and I got him a T-ball set with bases, a baseball mitt and a real baseball. He was in heaven. So we played baseball for a while until Ryan and I got bored. We then were off to Chucky Cheese (where a kid can be a kid) and adults can act like kids as well. I got an instant headache with 100 kids running around. It was all worth it when I saw Jaxon's face when we walked inside. He played games, gave the creepy Chucky high fives and won lots of tickets (which we gave to a cute little girl because we didn't want to wait in a huge line to redeem our tickets for a Tootsie Roll or something lame. As you can tell, Jaxon will never go to Chucky Cheese or anyplace like it with his Mother ever again. We drove down the road to eat pizza at Flying Pie. After pizza we went to the park to meet all his friends. They played on the toys, ate baseball cupcakes and icecream, sang to Jaxon, watched him open presents and then played some more. They had a great time. I think Jaxon had the greatest birthday a 2 year old could have.

Aloha!

Ryan and I just spent a week with our friends, Kerri and Chris from Arizona in Hawaii. We left Jax at the grandparent's houses and had a great time. Kerri and I hung out on the beach with the boys played frisbee for hours in the ocean. We ate a lot of delicious food, shopped, did a session at the temple and explored towns. We ziplined over beautiful waterfalls for FREE. The guy from the snorkeling shop told us to talk to Luke at the Zipline shop. When we called, Luke was out on a tour. So when we got to the shop the next day, Luke had totally hooked us up and gave us the zipline tour, which would have cost us $150/person, for FREE. The tour giudes from the zipline shop told us about a gorgeous hike up the river that leads to a waterfall that you can swim at the base of. That was the prettiest place I have ever seen. We bodysurfed and got sand in places I didn't even know were there. We swam with Manta Rays at night. Those suckers are 16 feet wide and swim right against you. It was insane and the coolest thing we did. I would recommend it to anyone. We went to a luau and ate TONS of crazy food and had great entertainment. We had a fabulous time. We stayed at Rod and MaryAnn's beautiful villa on the golf course. We had perfect weather the entire week. It was a perfect vacation. We loved everything about it.
