We're having a girl

We found out yesterday we're having a girl and are very excited. We think Emily is going to be a great big sister.

Thanksgiving Point Farm Country

Today we took Emily to the Farm Country at Thanksgiving Point and she loved it! At first she was scared and didn't know what to think of all the different animals but once got comfortable around them she loved it, she actually let a horse eat out of her hand. Here a some pictures of our day.

Emily's First B-day

We cant believe a year has already passed. It really has been the fastest year of our life. We celebrated Emmys birthday today and just wanted to share some pics. We were going to have a party for her but all of us have been sick lately and we just didnt feel up to it. Emily had a good day though. She went to all the pet stores to look at animals. She loves them right now. She even got to pet a rabbit. The one strange thing about her birthday was that she did not like the white or chocolate cake that she got. She did have fun flinging it around though. She really liked the her new animal books and the horse her dad made for her. Overall it was a good day. We love our baby so much.

Christmas

Here are finally some pictures Christmas pictures of Emily.

This is Emily with her cousins on Christmas Eve...
although it looks like she's in pain, she loved playing with them.

Emily on Christmas Day

We had a fun Christmas this year...hopefully next year Emily will get into it a little more.

Walking

We were finally able to get an ok video of Emily walking. Usually when she sees the camera she just starts to pose so this is the best we could do.

What we are up to

So i decided just to let everyone know what is going on with our family right now since we never really post very much here. Emily is doing awesome. She is a handful though. She loves to play with everything that she shouldnt play with. she cannow take about nine steps, but we have not et been able to catch it on video. Everytime we try she just looks at the camera and smiles. She totally loves getting her picture taken. anyways she is doing really good. Mikel is getting ready to go back to school at BYU this January. She is really excited to go back and finish her degree. She is the best wife and is always taking care of me and Emily. She definately goes above and beyond her role as a mother and wife. I am just about ready to graduate in two weeks from Utah Valley University. I am really excited to be done with my undergraduate.i will go back to school to get my masters after a break. i really want to just work for awhile without school. Anyways that is what is going on with our family right now.

FIRST STEPS!

Emily started taking her first steps all by herself today. We didn't get a very good video of it yet but we'll put one on when we do.
