We went with Auntie Trystal and the boys to the Treehouse Museum in Ogden. It's so fun to see the kids play together. Poor Nathan, being the oldest, probably doesn't think it's so great but he is a really good helper.

Favorite Mommy
This is a picture of Marti clutching Auntie Trystal's leg. Marti loves Auntie Trystal and would live with her if I let her. Marti was looking at some pictures of family on the fridge and she was pointing out who are her favorites. I asked Marti who her favorite mom was, expecting her to say "of course it is you dearest mommy" followed by a loving look and maybe a big hug. Instead she said, and I quote, "ummmm, I think I'll pick Auntie Trystal".

Happy Anniversary
I know it was yesterday, but I still wanted to say Happy Anniversary to Kory. Thanks for being an awesome husband and daddy. I love you.

Jefrie Lynn
Emy and I took a trip to Denver last weekend for my brothers baby's blessing, her name is Jefrie Lynn and she is very cute and little. Marti was pretty jealous that Emersyn got to fly on an airplane. Emy didn't even notice, she slept the whole way.
On Saturday we played at the park, went swimming at the hotel pool and then ate dinner at my Aunt & Uncle's house. I also got to play some Rock Band, my poor cousins were subjected to Lynn and I's horrible singing (no one should ever let us have a microphone).
After the baby blessing on Sunday we went to return our rental car. Poor Emersyn hadn't had a real nap for a few days and was just exhausted, I went to wake her up when we got to the rental car return and the guy that was checking us out must have felt bad because he said that she needed more sleep and that he would drive us to the airport and drop us off. It was only about 15-20 minutes more sleep but it was definitely very helpful.
By the time we got home Emersyn was done with traveling, and I think my dad was done lugging her car seat all over the airport. Every time I fly I am reminded how much more work it is when you have babies/toddlers, there is the undressing and then re-dressing at security, you have to carry around (kind of like a pack mule) a car seat, a diaper bag and enough toys and treats to keep them occupied. Then there is the ever present worry of what am I going to do if I have to change her diaper while I am on the plane. When Marti was a baby I tried to do it in the plane bathroom, but I am pretty sure that is impossible. The only real option I could come up with is to put down the tray table and use it as a changing table. This works ok if you are sitting next to someone you know, but if you are not it gets a bit awkward.
Sorry, kind of got off the subject, anyway here are some pictures of our trip (good thing you had your camera Trystal).

Happy Birthday Grandma Cindy!
To celebrate my mom's 50th birthday we had a bowling pizza party, complete with matching shirts that had our nicknames on them. I thought that if we put names on our shirts it would somehow magically make us better bowlers, no such luck, my score was still about the same as the little kids.

The beginning of the end.
After months of procrastination by me, Marti finally started gymnastics a few weeks ago. She has been asking me to sign her up since her birthday last July.
She loved it, I hated it. I know that it is a good thing for kids to do things on their own and gain more independence...etc. etc. etc. but I love having my kids home with me, all to myself. I am already dreading the first day of school and it is still 2 years away.
Geez, where has all the time gone?

Emy
It has been a busy time for us lately, we were dog sitting for Aaron and Lynn while they were in Mexico and then we watched Conner and Kaily while their parents were in Florida (with lots of help from Dave and Val).
Unfortunately we also had a scare with Emersyn, about a week before Christmas she came down with some sort of illness. She wasn't able to keep any food or water down but she didn't have a fever or anything else. She would barf and then ask for a treat or to go play. It lasted about 10 days and I was just about to call the doctor for an appt. when she seemed to get better. So when she started barfing again I decided I wouldn't wait as long to go see the doctor.
I took her in on Thursday and they decided to check for a bladder infection in case that was the cause. They ran her urine and it came back that she didn't have a bladder infection but the doctor was concerned because she had too much bilirubin in her urine. That could have been an indication that her liver wasn't functioning like it was supposed to so we needed to get her blood work done to find out. Well that was horrible, I had to hold her while they took her blood and she screamed over and over again "oucheeeee". They were going to run the blood work right away and if it was bad news they would call us that night. That was the longest night of my life, I really can't imagine anything worse than waiting around for someone to tell you there is something wrong with your child.
Luckily the phone call didn't come and when I talked to the Dr. the next day he said that her lab work was normal. We still don't know why she was sick, maybe a virus or something, but she is doing better now. It wasn't a fun experience but it really reminded me of how special Emy is and how grateful I am to be her mom.
