Attached!!

I don't know why but she has all of a sudden become attached to the binky and the blanky. It is the cutest thing but I hope it is just a teething thing. She had her canines just break through and her molars are still swelling her gums.

Our Cutie!

Well, Emma helped with the groceries. I think she was a little confused on where to put them so she put them in our room. At least she likes to help.
Here is Emma and daddy getting ready for the cupcakes. Emma is such a big help. She gets pretty fussy if she can't help. She is such a smart little girl. She may not say to many words but I am impressed with how much she understands.

No More A Baby!

My baby is getting so big. I guess now that she is walking I should be calling her my little girl.
Boy does she know how to make a mess. Most of the time she tries to clean up the mess, but doesn't quite get it to fit back into the drawer.
She loves walking. I am so proud of her. She has really picked up walking. It doesn't matter how many times she falls down, she always gets back up. It was a good lesson for me yesterday in church. Since she doesn't quite sit still through Relief Society, we were out walking the halls and she kept falling down, but always got back up. It is a great lesson in life. No matter how many times we fall down or someone hurts us or something unexpected happens we have to get back up and keep going. Just like I walk behind Emma watching her fall. I am also there for her waiting for her to get back up. She always gets up with a smile and keeps going. I hope I can always do that throughout my life.
Little miss sneaky. She found the cookies and managed to open the bag. Not just grabbing one, but two. The funny thing is she ended up sticking them back in the bag because she doesn't like the hard ones. She only like the soft Chip Ahoy. Yet, she'll put anything in that mouth. Oh how I worry about summertime and bugs. If there is something in her mouth, I shouldn't even bother wondering unless she starts choking. Because if I open her mouth and find a bug, I'll freak. Bluuuhhhh!!!

Graduation Day!!

Here is our Graduate! A Bachelor's Degree Down...
A Master's Degree to go!
I am so proud of Jonathan. He has worked really hard to get to this point. We have come a long way together. Life has been pretty crazy, but I wouldn't have it any other way. We just keep going. I will get my associates degree next semester and then we will move so he can go to graduate school. It has been a wonderful journey. Stressful at times but wonderful. Jonathan is happy because now he can grow the goatee he's been wanting to grow ever since he grew it out for a week break we had. At least BYU-Idaho has kept him clean shaven, but that time is over. He wants to grow it out for when his brother comes back from his mission. He gets home May 2. That gives him three weeks. With as fast as his facial hair grows it should be at least three inches by then. Then, no kisses for him. If he ever let it get that long, I might just cut it off in the middle of the night. He wouldn't even know as well as he sleeps.
