First Snow!

Last night it started snowing and when we woke up this morning it was a winter wonderland! Emma was soooooo excited! She couldn't wait to go out and make snow angels. We had a busy morning, but as soon as we got home we dressed her in her warm clothes and headed out. She was a happy girl in all that white snow.

Making a snow angel!

 

Hot chocolate to warm up afterwards!

 

 

Another Whirlwind Roadtrip!

Last weekend Robert's brother Carl needed his help working on his building for his new business. We had been traveling every weekend for the past three weeks. At this point of my pregnancy I'm really done traveling. Sleeping in my own bed is hard enough let alone an air mattress. So, we worked out a plan that Robert's parents would pick him up Friday morning on the way to Utah and then Emma and I would drive down on Saturday pick him up and then head back to Rawlins. So, that's what we did. Robert and I were able to sneak a temple session Saturday afternoon at the Bountiful temple. That was a blessing. It was such a quick trip. Emma and I stopped by to see our friends the Nessens on the way. There was not a whole lot of time for pictures, but I did grab this one of Emma and Zoey.

 

Emma did great on the trip. She was so excited to see her friend Maggie and play with her cousins for a couple hours. This is the first Saturday we've been home in a few weeks and it's been so nice. Although, part of me doesn't know what to do with myself.

 

Baby Update

 

A quick baby update on our little guy.  Right now his name is Jakob David. I always say that could change when he is born, but I think we are pretty sure. We are busy getting his nursery ready. He is pretty active and seems to kick and squirm quite a bit. I love that. I love to feel him move. Emma is super excited and keeps asking why it's taking so long. I have been sick with a terrible cold/throat virus thing for over a week now. It is making my life a little miserable. However, I am glad that the pregnancy is going so great so far. I have my 28 week labs on Tuesday. That is about it. There is not much to say at this point. Just getting ready and super excited for December! :)

Engineering Float Trip

 

On August 10th Emma and Robert went on a float trip with Robert's engineering department. I didn't go on the float trip. I didn't think it would be too comfortable being so uncomfortable and hot. I rode up with another wife and good friend of mine to join in the picnic after. Emma had a blast with Daddy. She also had her friend Noah there to play with. It was a fun day for them.

 

 

 

She was super tired and hungry when they all were done. When she saw me she ran to me and fell and skinned her elbow. Poor thing! We found a band aid and then she was fine and ready for lunch. She loves watermelon!



Some Everdaynesses

Here are some pictures I've taken over the last few weeks. Emma sure is fun and keeps us going!

Lots of visits with Grandpas and Grandmas

We have been very busy traveling lately. Two weekends ago we went down to Mesquite for a quick visit with my Mom. They were so nice and gave us their old truck since Robert's car has been not working very well. We drove down on Friday and came home on Monday. I had to drive back by myself and it was a very long drive, but worth it. On the way there we stopped and had dinner with our friends the Nessens at Dickies. It was such a fun time and so fun to see my friend Amber. We also stopped and had dinner at their house on the way home. Super fun, great friends! I miss them so much!

We had fun in Mesquite eating out, doing a little shopping, and relaxing. We wanted to take the opportunity to go to the St. George temple, but it was closed. That was a bummer. It was a quick fun awesome trip!

 

Emma with Maggie and Zoey Nessen!

 

A pretty area at the Casa Blanca!

 

We had some fun in the Casa Blanca gift shop. Emma loved trying everything on. She kept saying "Fancy Schmancy"!

 

We had dinner at a cute little diner and had some fun dessert. Robert and I split the big brownie sunday. It was so big we couldn't even finish it!

 

Then, last weekend Grandpa and Grandma Wilhelm came home from their mission and spoke in church so we spent the weekend in Laramie. Robert's brother Carl came so it was a full busy household of fun. Emma LOVES playing with her cousins. As soon as she sees them I barely see her the rest of the weekend. They were going to have a fun sleep over, but Emma was a little nervous sleeping far away from us. So, she ended up sleeping on the floor in our room.

 

On Saturday night we looked at some pictures from Grandpa and Grandma's mission in Germany.

All ready for bed!

On the way home. We took the truck because we had a few things to pick up in Laramie. 

First Day of School!

Yesterday we decided to head over to Cheyenne because we had lots of shopping to do. For the baby, household items and just everything we can't get here in Rawlins. We stopped in Laramie at the Brown and Gold because I wanted to get a onesie for the baby, but they were about $25 so we are going to keep looking. Although, we did find a cute shirt for Emma. Then we headed to Cheyenne and did a major shopping spree of Once Upon a Child, Motherhood Maternity, Target, Hobby Lobby, and Home Depot. I was very tired. Then, we met up with a friend of Robert's and went to dinner at the Olive Garden. It was a really fun day. I always love when I can get out of town and spend time with my family.

 

Her new Cowboys shirt! Go pokes!

 

She was pretty tired by the time we hit Target. Poor thing!
