Emerson's Baptism

The famous father/daughter pose.....moments before the big event.

We caught this candid moment between Gramma and Emmy after being confirmed....too precious!

The newest member of the church. Isn't she gorgeous? Cousins

The stitched picture Gramma Warrick made Emerson. It is darling and it will be a keepsake to be forever cherished.

On April 25th, 2009 our Emerson Rose was baptized and confirmed a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. It was such a beautiful day! The ceremony started at 5 p.m and having 5 other kids getting baptized that day we decided to have a luncheon before the ceremony. The food, family and conversations were Divine, it was so much fun to have almost all of our family together in one room(we missed you Janes family and Colquitt fam). Emerson had a special surprise by having her cousin Kassadi fly out from Texas to come support her choice in becoming baptized. We are so grateful that she was able to come out for a few days and be with us. Thank you everyone for your love and support on this milestone event.

Britney Spears

On Tuesday April 14th Audree and I went to the Britney Spears concert. She certainly is a good performer the stage and all the props were really interesting but her outfits take the cake. I have one word to describe her outfits....WHOA!! I took over 200 pictures and there was only a select few that I could post because they were quite provocative. Her show was most definitely for adults. She was really impersonal and seemed to just go through the moves, dances and songs just to get the concert over with. All in all we had a fabulous time it totally made me want to come home and dance, dance, dance.........DANCE!

*********these outfits were her most "modest" ones, therefore these were the select few photos I could post********

Easter 2009

We tried our hardest to get a family picture as we were walking out the door on our way to church.
My cute little family

Cohen is looking like such a little man. We love our little "presidente"***said with a strong Spanish accent:)

Claire our little princess.

Emerson looking like such a young lady.

Thanks Gramma for the beautiful Easter dresses for the girls they looked adorable!

Family Night Randomness

I had to laugh at this photo because this is the only picture I got with Cohen in it. He was so busy throwing pillows off the couch and then every so often he would bop each of his sisters across the head with one. Lil stinker thought he was so funny! We love him and all the excitement he brings to the family. I love that he is a momma's boy and that I am his "favorite." He melts my heart completely.
Emerson with her beloved Webkinz.

I couldn't resist. The girls were snuggled up together listening to the lesson and I just happened to notice their little feet and toes. These sisters sure do love each other and really are each others best friends. I hope it stays that way FOREVER!

Emerson really loves family night she gets really involved in the lessons and most of the time I am in such awe at the knowledge that little girl holds. Scott giving the lesson and check out all the props he pulled out for the lesson. He is a great teacher!

Emerson reading from the manual and Claire listening intently on what Emerson is saying.

Claire had to show off her Webkinz too...her and "Pinky" are rarely separated.

I love my Eternal family!

(I wish I got at least one photo of Cohen...he is THEE cutest love bug around)

It's GREAT to be 8!!!!

Gpa lifting Emmy up to see if she has any resemblance to what she looked like as a newborn. It was so fun to look back on that special day that she was born. Fun to see her cute face....not fun to see the body I acquired while prego with her and gaining 60+ pounds. Not cute!! Scott dubbed me as the Octo Mom times 2.....thats how huge my belly was....and really it was ALL belly!!

1. Gramma and Gramps--hurley capris(sooo so cute), shirt, nike hat, bratz cowgirls barbie, the last unicorn dvd, a decorative towel holder with holiday towels. Emerson loves anything that has to do with horses so when she told g'ma that she wanted a bratz it was very fitting that she got the cowgirl(good eye G'pa) Emerson always admires G'ma's decorative towel ring in her guest bath which she decorates with "holiday of the month hand towels" very cute and she is so excited to have her very own. Tonight she told me she loves that Gma and Gpa love to Spoil her:)

She is beyond thrilled !! And also a call from her Nana and Papa.

Fishing at Cold Creek..Hook Line and Sinker!

The look of a proud dad. He is so proud of his little girl for snagging this beauty!
Gross!!! Fish slime spraying everywhere.....ewwww!

Cohen probably having a hard time just standing there and not diving in the water to get the fish.

Look....he cant believe that he put an empty pole in the water and when he brought it out there was a fish.

Repeat picture:)

Cohen snagged another one. Look at all the fish activity in the water.

Looking at the catch. Claire standing in the distance not wanting anything to do with it.

Again Claire in the distance nervously bitting her nails. Emmy and Cohen getting ready to snag another.

What a good way to spend a Saturday. We had gone over to visit my parents this afternoon and my dad got talking about a fish farm in Ogden and how much fun the kids would have fishing for some good 'ol rainbow trout. Scott, my dad, Claire, Emerson and Cohen loaded up and away they went. I guess when you get there they throw fish food in the water and the fish go nuts, you drop your pole and within 2 minutes you have one hooked. Emerson caught a total of 5, Cohen caught 3, and Claire caught 2. Claire was a little afraid of the fish and really didn't want to be around it. Emerson had a good time and was extremely proud of herself for catching the most and Cohen he was in his element...outdoors, water, mud and disgusting things he can touch.

They all had such a great time and look forward to going again. Thanks grandpa for providing the day of fishing and lunch. Now.....I will let you all know how they tasted after our Monday night fish fry!!
