Updates

We're back to school, daycare and preschool! What a busy life we lead. Morgan has taken on an attorney position at a forclosure company so he is suddenly very busy. He went to court today and has another telephone hearing tomorrow, crazy busy, but what a blessing. We have been so blessed this summer, I keep trying to count them, but soon loose count. Here are some pictures of our past few weeks.

Gramma K sent dresses and outfits that she made for the girls. Aren't they so cute!

Emma just snoozin

Abby discovered the Uno cards and created this masterpiece on our coffee table one morning. What a creative and patient girl. Check out the video of Emma "helping" Abby with the cards.

Emma enjoyed playing at the pool in these really neat water spouts. She had a great time walking through them, once she became brave enough. This is at our Ward party at Carson pool.

Abby had a great time swimming the last week before the pools closed. We tried to go every day. She is really becoming a pretty good swimmer.

Emma's hair is growing longer and she is so cute with her hair in a pony.

Emma discovered that the plastic protectors on the crib rail can come off. She kept us busy with those until mommy decided enough was enough and I duct taped a towel around the bar. No more games!

Summer 2009 Fun

We had a great summer and unfortunately it has come to an end. Here are a few things we did this summer.

Abby had fun at this pool with a playground right in the middle of it.

Emma had fun sitting with mommy (post foot surgery=no swimming for mommy or Emma) on the grass. She kept putting all the grass on her leg. She thought that was fun!

We had fun at home. Emma kept pulling this headband down on her face, so this was a quick pic of her accomplishment. Plus, she loves this wand. She walks around with it, swinging it in the air and whacking everything it comes in contact with. She's already bent it and broken the star on it. But she loves it. Check out the video of her right after this picture was taken. It is hillarious

We also had some fun hair-do's. Emma got her first ponytail and Abby let mommy "play" with her hair since she wouldn't let me "do" her hair.

Visit from the Warnick's

Kinley and Emma. Kinley's older by 3 weeks.








Campbell and Abby had a great time playing together. Traci, Chad, Campbell, and Kinley had a great time visiting us this past winter. We had a great time when they came to town. Wish we could see them more often.

Not the best picture of Traci, and she will probably kill me for putting it on her, but it's the only one I got :) sorry BFF. Kinley's a cutie pie.

California Trip July 2009

SHUTTERSTORIES Grand Opening. Terry built these cabinets and display on his own! Amazing!

We had a great time in California this past weekend. We went to see Melissa and Terry's new photo studio. Here are some pictures of the studio and the open house party.

Breakfast with the family the next day.Congratulations Terry! You did a terrific job!

Easter 2009

They were so cute in their matching Easter dresses.

The Easter Bunny made it easy this year since Mommy was sick.

Emma found one! Yeah! She's liking the Easter thing.

Finding Easter eggs at Aunt Carla's house.

Hana's Surprise Birthday Party

Raliegh came down to visit for my birthday and got to fly in a fighter pilot school. He did a pretty good job, but was glad to be back on solid ground. Way to go, Turk! Mom, Abby, Emma, and I went to watch Ral fly his plane. We had a great time. Gramma had fun with the girls :).

Many friends and family came to celebrate Hana's birthday. Brian Utsey (Morgan's former boss) and David Bear (fellow coworker of Morgan's) also came.

Yummy, huge cake. Leave it to Morgan to go overboard! :)

Abby and I got to go to Disney on Ice for my birthday, also. We had a great time!

Abby even got to see Cinderella and Prince Charming. The hilight of the day!

Birthday Fun!

Abby sure does enjoy her first princess bike!

Enjoying her gifts. The apron and hat are from Gramma K. The tea set from a friend (thanks Ava).

Fun time!

Abby had a great time at her princess birthday party. I decorated our new gazebo out back, had her friends and cousins come over, and they all played dress-up and princess. They took pictures, did a few

crafts and had a great time!

All worn out after the party.
