The yard.

So we bought a previously owned home three years ago. And I have to say my favorite thing about it is the yard. The strawberry and raspberry patches. The fact that every year a new perrenial has come up that wasn't there last year. The clubhouse and sandbox. I am so grateful for the previous owner. I don't think I could have designed this beauty. I takes work but it is suprising that it isn't overwhelming. I think because there are so many plants that weeds can't get through.




Let's play find Emerson.

Stud muffin

So Emerson is tuff. We all knew it! Sad he is looking older in this picture.

Last weekend Drew's sister Anna had a bridal shower. It was cute how excited she was and I forgot my camera. Her wedding day I'll be sure to take tons of pictures. She is so opposite of the typical bride, everytime someone tries to nail down a detail of the day. She just says I don't care, i just want it to be like one big family reunion. Easy peasy.

My skeleton in the closet

So, Drew works nights and sleeps days. This is very interesting while having a 10 month old babe. Impossible to keep quiet. And when he's crying to get his way, I have to let him cry. Otherwise I will have an out of control kid on my hands. I work and bring Emerson to work and it is amazing to see how different he is at work. He is a hellion compared to home. I think this is mainly due to the fact I don't let him cry at work. He always gets his way there in order to not disturb others.
That said, Emerson was being way loud yesterday. At one point I went into our bedroom to put away clothes. I couldn't find my husband. Turns out he went in and slept in the walk in closet so he could get sleep. I am seriously considering put some type of mattress in there.

Sweet Dreams

Last night Emerson woke me up. I went in his room and he was asleep. laughing his head off. I guess its better than having bad dreams.

Crab mountain

So for my birthday me and my mom went to St. George. While we were there we went to mesquite and the all you can eat buffet. They had a mountain of crab I was going to take more pictures but I was way into the crab I forgot.

Tater Tots

Sunday I was minding my own business and a little monster bit my toe. I took me by suprise and I jumped. Well that hurt the little monster's feelings. He started crying and wanted hugs. So we rocked together until he fell asleep. Precious little monster. Yesterday we went swimming for the first time in his life. He was so cute he kept wanting to glide through the water. He is going to be a great little swimmer. Another funny thing is that if he isn't paying attention I can get him to stand on his own for 10 seconds. As soon as he realises what he is doing he falls right down though.
