We have a Crawling Girl!

Yep, Emery started crawling today! She has been working on it for a while and today it all clicked. Enjoy the video below.

Happy Halloween

Here are our two little insects!

Emery was a butterfly and Abbie was a bee.

Emery was trying to eat her first Halloween candy.

Here is the back of her costume.

Emery and her cute cousin Allyssa.

Emery knows how much her uncle Blake loves to be on the blog, so she was giving him some big kisses while we took their picture at the Halloween party.

We hope everyone had a Happy Halloween!

Snowbird

We took Emery up to Snowbird for her first ride on the tram. Here we are on our way up.

My sister and her family came with us and was nice enough to take some pictures. This is a view from the top of the tram.

So... after we were done walking around at the top we decided to venture back down the mountain. Lance talked me into hiking down thinking it would only be an hour or so. Thank goodness my sister, Liesel, stocked us up on fruit snacks and granola bars because after a few wrong turns and 2 1/2 hours later we arrived at the lodge!

It was a lot of fun and a beautiful day. Emery was such a trooper. She even got in a nap on the way down.

So Cute!

6 Months Old!

"Yeah I'm 6 Months Old!"

Emery turned 6 months old 2 weeks ago, but she just went to her 6 month check up and here are her stats.

Height: 27.5 inches (91%)

Weight : 17 lbs (61%)

She is such a happy girl.
A few of her favorite things to do are:

• play peek-a-boo
• clap her hands
• talk as loud as she can
• laugh at Lance while they play
• get up on her hands and knees
• suck on a celery stick
• watch football with Lance
• sit in the shopping cart like a big girl

Below is a picture of Emery and her best friend, Abbie! She loves to watch her and laughs at her more then she does anyone else. Emery gives Abbie a big smile every morning and Abbie returns with a lick to the face! Happy 6 months Emery! We love you!

Time for Blogging?

I know I haven't been the best blogger lately, but I feel like I haven't had any time to do anything. My last day at work is fast approaching and I can't wait! I will be done on October 16 and then I get to be with Emery all day everyday. I am hoping that once I am done working I will have more time to blog. That way I can have some where to go when I need a reminder of all the great experiences I have had. It seems like ever since I became a mom my mind doesn't work as good as it use to. I am much more forgetful.

(It may have been that way before, but at least now I have something to blame it on!) These are just a few somewhat recent pictures of Emery. She goes to the doctor on Friday for her 6 month checkup. I will be sure to blog about that. I know! I can't believe she is 6 months already! Isn't she cute?

So Cute Asleep!

Our little Emery loves her jumper.
She fell asleep in it last week and was so cute!

When she woke up she immediately started jumping again... then a few minutes later she would be asleep!

What a cute girl!

5 months old

Emery is 5 months old today! She is learning so much every day and is such a happy, fun, mellow baby.
Look at these baby blue eyes!
Emery loves her new jumper...
and her airplane.

We love you Emery and thanks for being such a good girl!

Emery Laughing

Saturday was such a nice day that we decided to go hang out in the back yard. Our neighbor’s dog was over trying to give Abbie some much needed exercise. The dogs were chasing each other around barking as they ran. For some reason Emery thought it was so funny. She laughed and laughed and continued to laugh even when we got the video camera out. The loud barking is our little Abbie, who thinks that when she runs she has to bark. Emery seems to be a little scared at first, but eventually gets a kick out of it.

Bee's Game

My parents took my family to the Bee's Game last Monday and boy was it fun. It was Emery’s first game and I was excited because she got to where her cute Nike outfit that Amy and Blake gave her.
Emery loves baseball! Here is my family except for Lance who is taking the picture, and my sister, Liesel, and her 2 year old boy, Canyon. They were off riding the train. He loves' trains.
Look how much fun my brother in law, Spencer, was having! Thanks again Mom and Dad, we'll have to do it again next year!

Antelope Island

Lance is now working 4 ten hour days, which means he has every Friday off. A couple of Friday's ago we decided to go to Antelope Island. We had never been there before and we thought it would be fun. Here is what we did

Emery rode the bison.
Lance and Emery went out into the Great Salt Lake and wondered why that guy ahead of them went out in nothing but his undies. Don't worry Lance covered Emery's eyes.
Emery and I enjoyed the nice overcast day.
Lance held Emery up in the wind and she loved it.
I couldn’t decide which picture, so I put both in.

After the beach we went to the ranch where I tried to rope some cattle.

Lance is a natural cowboy!
He tried to rope me, but I was too fast for him!

Look who's 4 months old!

Emery is growing up so fast, I can't believe she is already 4 months old. She had her 4 month check up today at the doctors and here are her stats:

Length: 26.5 inches (97%) Yep she is one tall girl.

Weight: 15 lbs (75%)
Head Circumference: 42cm (75%)

Below are a few of my favorite pictures of Emery over the past week.

It has been a very happy 4 months!

We Love You Emery!

Pioneer Day

I love the July Holiday’s! Pioneer Day is a lot more fun since we bought our home just a block from Liberty Park and the Days of 47 parade route. Every year we have a big breakfast at our home and then we all head down to the parade.
Here is Emery and Grandma Kay getting ready to go to the parade.
Here is some of our parade going group...
and here is the other half.
This was Emery’s first July 24th and she had a ball! She is such a good baby and will go to anyone that wants to hold her.
Here is Lance's brother Blake. He attends all of our get togethers in hopes of making the blog. Here he is just relaxing in the shade next to his beautiful wife, Amy! My mom makes sure that she arrives early so she can eat and then save our secret spot in the shade. Thanks mom!
My parents always have my family over for dinner. Here is a picture of Emery and her cousin, Owen.
Lance's Dad loves fireworks just like Lance does. He has an annual dinner at the mortuary and then a wonderful firework show that follows. (Lances family owns Jenkin-Soffe mortuary if you are wondering why we get together at a mortuary.)


Here we are getting ready for the firework show.

Here is Simone and Grandma Soffe enjoying the fireworks together!
Happy Pioneer Day!
