Baby Teagan

Our friends the Stewart family need your prayers. Their baby and first son was born with a serious heart condition called HLHS. Since his birth he has undergone one of many open heart surgeries required to help fix little heart. The little girls in the family have had swine flu so they are not able to go up to the hospital for a week to see their son...I could not even imagine how hard that must be for them.

Please pray for the Stewart family and baby Teagan that they may be wrapped in the arms and the comfort of the Savior.

Happy #6 CLAIRE

CLAIRE ELIZABETH COLQUITT

September 22, 2003

Born at 2:16 p.m.

6 pounds 5 ounces

19.5 inches

Born 31/2 weeks early, fast,scary(placental tear, shocking my tummy to get heartbeat)delivery. Came out perfect, sweet, calm and to this day those characteristics have not changed one bit.

Claire has been such a joy in our home. She is such a kind hearted, funny, caring, compassionate little girl. She is so excited about life and truly cares about the happiness of others around her. The picture above was chosen because she is an absolute animal LOVER of ALL animals.

Today in the car as we were running errands this was a conversation Claire and I had.

C: Mom am I 6 yet?

Me: Yes, you are 6! Can you believe it?

C: No! I don't feel 6 and I certainly don't look 6!

If that isn't the most innocent , sweet and completely serious conversation.....well than I don't know what is!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CLAIRE-BEAR!!

School Days are here!

Claire sitting by her desk partner and current crush Brandon. Claire is so ready and excited to be starting kindergarten this year. We love her teacher Mrs. Stephens and think this year will be an exciting one for Claire. She had kindergarten testing this week her teacher was so impressed at how well she did that she said next week she will be sending home books for Claire to start reading. She is a smart little cookie but more importantly she is kind, sweet and thoughtful of others.
After spending ample amount of time round brushing Claire's hair I came outside to take her picture only to find her dancing in the rain. Wet hair sprayed hair looks AWESOME!!

Claire just had to hold her mouth like that so "everyone can see all my teeth that are gone." She is too sweet and often times thinks she is Hannah Montana(take note of the outfit, the top was glitter galore)

Emerson was so excited to be starting the 3rd grade that she got up every 3 hours to check the time. She is so thrilled with her teacher Mrs. Breese this year, she is super cute, super nice just how teachers should be! The neatest thing about her according to Emerson is that she worked at Disneyland before becoming a teacher. We are excited to see what this year has in store for our Emerson she is a brilliant girl who just loves to learn and has a real ability to absorb everything that is given to her. She has spent every year starting with kindergarten in the S.E.M. program(program for gifted children) We are proud of her for her willingness to learn, her pride in her school work, and just how much she loves learning. Not only is her outer beauty stunning, but her heart is just as beautiful.

The girls had so much fun school shopping this year with Gramma Shawna. Gramma had them sleepover at her house and the next morning she took the girls to the mall to shop and out to lunch. They had such a fun day shopping with Gramma and when they got home they tried all their clothes on for us. Grampa also did a little shopping for the girls on his lunch breaks....he headed to Gymboree(his favorite little shop) and picked out thee cutest little outfits for the girls as well.

Thanks gramma and grampa for taking the girls shopping. They had a BLAST(and they look pretty darn cute too!)

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 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********
