~clothes~

Marley loves clothes, too, which is helpful when it comes to birthday shopping. Though her little body is sized so differently (shirts - 3t, pants 24mth/2t, dresses 4t... it's all very strange) that when we find clothes that fit we feel pretty lucky. Imagine our excitement to find clothes at great discounts, yea!!! I'm glad she's girly and gets excited for new clothes. In the last picture she is even laying out her new outfits.

~pink shoes~

So if you know anything about Marley it would be a) she LOVES pink and b) she LOVES shoes. When we found pink shoes for her we had to get them. (It's not like she didn't have any before ;) She was with us when we bought them but she hasn't been able to see them... going on 2 weeks now. She was so happy to finally open them. This was the first present she got to open right before we took her to dinner. Grandma Pam watched Emma while the rest of us went to El Parrell, Marleys favorite Mexican eatery. =)

Marley turns 3!!!

My darling little girl turns three!! Marley is only about a week old in this picture, I can't believe how quick these past years have come and gone. We've had our ups and downs with this girl, but I sure do love her... plus I've learned how to avoid some of those "downs" (see any of my Marley-ism posts =) haha. She is a sweet girl and I love her so much, she adds so much joy and fun to our family unit. I love her so much. Happy birthday, sweetie!!!

Kindergarten!

We LOVE kindergarten!!! I especially love it because it gives me a schedule to stick by. We've got a time table so that urges me to actually get things done. School gives me motivation!!! =) Corbin was so happy to go. Colt took these pictures because I didn't want to be "that mom" who followed her child to school on the first day. To my surprise EVERY mom held a camera and was following their kids into school. I even saw a few DADS following with camcorders - go figure. Colt took Corbin in, I was worried I'd cry. I was happy that I didn't, though kindergarten is just an extended preschool. I'm sure next year will be a different story, right sisters?? ;)

This is now week two of school and CJ still loves it. He's excited because today his class gets to go to the library. We love books!! He is so smart and loves school, this makes me happy.

Emma's newborn pictures

When Leslie was here a couple of weeks ago she took newborn pictures of Emma. For my family and friends that don't check her blog regularly click here to see the photos. I can't believe that was two weeks ago. She's changed already!

Thanks again Les for taking these pics. I absolutely LOVE them!!! You did a good job. Thank you a million times over!!!

Busy, busy, busy

Alright, I know it's been a LONG time since I've posted, but - you've guessed it - we've been busy!!

This past week has been full of fun and entertainment. Wednesday was the beginning of it all - the Box Elder County Fair Parade with the Fair the rest of the week. To kick it all off we had a lunch at moms house (sort of celebrating the birth of little Emma). Leslie and her girls came up for the day (Les took AWESOME pics of Emma with her fancy, shmancy camera... look for them soon) and that evening we all went to the parade.

Thursday Jen and her kids came up - for the fair of course - and spent the night and were here all day Friday.

Saturday we headed to Logan and did some birthday shopping for Marley. And that brings us to today. We went to church and then have spent the rest of the day at home doing NOTHING. This week has been really fun but today has been great. We've relaxed, I've read, Colt has watched football, it's been a nice day.

So here are some random pictures from the past week.

Corbin and Marley at the parade. We got lots of candy. =)

Emma - 2 weeks old.

Her appointment went well. She's gained over a pound since she was born, now weighing in at 8 lbs 13 oz. She is obviously a good eater and is in healthy tip top shape. Her cord fell off last Monday and her button is looking good. She goes anywhere from 4 - 6 hours at night, but I won't claim her to be perfect. Some nights I'm up with her for an hour to an hour and a half straight. Ok, she is perfect. I love her!!

Sunday nap with Daddy.

Marley can function a snorkel system. It's great.

Emma - 13 days young.

Cousin Rylee meeting and loving Emma.

Corbin does so good at holding his new baby sis.

Marley is always asking me to take pics of her and her baby.

"We're saying cheese, Mom!!"

Flag Football

Corbin started flag football - Brigham City league - last Monday. He LOVES it!! Even though it's supposed to be FLAG football there was plenty of tackling going on. Corbin had a couple of good plays and of course PLENTY of tackles. His coach started the practice off by teaching them to hold/block. He's a natural, that's our boy!!

Emma's first real outting. Look how big she is!

Corbin and Tyler - his cousin - are on the same team... the Patriots.

If you know us at all you know that the Patriots are not a well liked team. (Go COLTS!!) Poor Corbin has had a hard time adjusting to his team name. He says he likes the "small Patriots" now, trying to be a team lover.

That's him right in the center, good blocking!

Marley is a football fan, too. We've trained them well!!
