Sunday Best

Emmry is all dressed in her Sunday best! Off to church we go!

Please take note of the following: A: her binks; one in the mouth, the other hidden, grasped tight in her right hand for sure. B: the go-gurt. and best of all C: her shoes. She wouldn't wear anything else.
So fine, let's put on your shoes and go to church! When are we ever going to be on time!? Oh, that would be the day!
 Grumpy, grumpy, grumpy.

Yes, she fell asleep as soon as we backed out of the driveway. No, I didn't go to church either. I call it a Mom's free ticket to stay home!

Want a kiss?

I made the mistake of giving Emmry a graham cracker with chocolate frosting on it after her bath and in her jammies. Oh well.

Where's Emmry?

Where's Emmry? I can't find her anywhere!
..........Here I am!

 

Emmry likes it when I cover her with pillows. She pretends to hide and when I say, "Where's Emmry, I can't find her anywhere...." she pops up and laughs.
Love her to pieces.

A weekend in Utah

I always dread the drive to Utah. Always. Saturday October 6th was a long, long day. We left our house at 4:50am and pulled into my parents driveway at 5:07pm for a quick hello and then back into the car a bit after 6:00pm headed to Tyson's parents where we were staying.

Emmry kept putting her foot near Trey's face on the drive. Poor kid had a stinky foot in his face practically the whole time.

Sunday was nice to lounge around in the morning and watch General Conference in my jammies. Then I took Emmry and Trey up to my Grandma Judd's house. (Tage was with his other Mom and Ty was just a butt and didn't want to go.....) There we had lunch and watched the second session of Conference. It was nice to be with my grandparents, my aunt and uncle and their kids and of course my parents and brother and sister.

After Conference I went back to Ty's parents to get ready for Trey's blessing. Judy had made a yummy dinner of baked ziti for all the family members. Then we all headed over to Ty's parents church building for the blessing.

The blessing was perfect and the Spirit was strong. I thought that my little man was so handsome. In fact, I teared up when I was getting him dressed. I couldn't help but picture him in the temple with me. All dressed in white. It was one of those moments I will never forget. He looked like he came straight from heaven. An angel. A prefect angel.

Monday, October 8th, was really a low key. In fact, half the day I think I spent in my jammies. I really wanted to go for a hike while I was in Utah and enjoy the weather and fall leaves. Ty didn't want to hike, so we compromised and went on a walk on a trail behind Lagoon. It got me out enjoying the weather so really it satisfied me.

The trail passes right by the few animals they have at Lagoon

Fun tree chair along the trail. Someone was creative!

Emmry must have thought that the walk was too long...

After our little nature walk we dropped Tage off with his other Mom to spend the night. I went to my parents with Emmry and Trey to spend the night and Ty.....um.....I don't know what he did. I think he said he went to Cafe Rio and watched football at his parents house.

Tuesday, October 9th was another long long drive back home.
Whew! And there you have it. Our fast quick trip to Utah.

Ta Ta Ta Two Months Today!

Yep! It's already been two month since this little guy was born! Time sure does fly quickly!



 

 



My little Trey,

 

You are the best baby ever. I love you so so much.

You love to eat every 3-4 hours, even through the night. Although you are getting better at pushing to the 4 hour mark during the night which I like. I still have you sleeping in the Pack n' Play near my bed. I like to have you near me so I can make sure you are ok and stare at you before I go to sleep, and because I don't want to walk across the house to get to your room every few hours (that's probably the more true answer.)

Your a healthy 12 lbs 3 oz! (56%) Big boy!

You don't like to take naps in your Pack n' Play. You only like to sleep in the swing or the boppy. If I put you in the pack n' play, you would wake up within 15 minutes.

You had your first hair cut! You were starting to look like an old man. Bald on top and long on the sides. So I had my friend Brooke trim it all over so it was more even. You look much better now.

You are very alert and aware of what's going on and have great eye coordination! You like to watch the owl mobile I have over your pack n' play.

I love holding you when you are sleeping. You look so peaceful.

You are super gassy and toot alot. It stinks. But it's ok, I still love you. It's probably my fault because I eat alot of dairy products and the Dr. says that dairy can make babies gassy. Sorry bud.

I love you to pieces and I am so happy I'm your Mom. I hope that you will be patient with me. I'm not a pro at this mommy stuff.

I love, love, love you!

 

Mom

 

Monster Truck Massage

Ever heard of a monster truck massage? Wanna find out how to do it yourself?
**Please note that you must have at least one monster car to do this**

Here's how....
Start at the top of the head pushing down hard enough to make the person fidget

then move down the face as if you were rolling over the rocky mountains

then across the smooth hill (stomach)

Now repeat as many times as you can until the person you are doing this massage too starts to cry at the top of their lungs. Then you know you have successfully given a monster truck massage.
