Easter!

We had a great Easter this year, but for some reason I can't get any pictures to download. Hopefully we can get them soon. On Saturday night we colored eggs and Emma loved it she was so cute. She would work on each egg for so long. When I asked her it it was done she would say no and keep stirring it around in the dye. The next morning the Easter Bunny came and brought lots of fun treats for Emma. Then we had an Easter egg hunt. We had to help her, but she would get so excited every time she found one. Then we went to church and that evening we had a nice Easter dinner with a family in our ward, the Foiles. It was really nice. I cooked a ton of food and we have ton of leftovers. Which I love becuase I don't have to cook as much this week. It was a great Easter and I hope to have pictures up soon!

First Hair Cut!

Emma had her very first salon hair cut a few days ago. She did so good. I was worried because I have to fight her to let me do her hair. I was so proud of her. Her hair was getting so long it definitely needed a trim and her bangs needed trimming too. I've trimmed them before, but that doesn't go so well. So it was very nice to have a professionally cut them for us.

Two Year Old Pictures!

We took Emma to get her 2 year old pictures! I can't believe how much she has grown! These first two you can really compare how much she has grown in a year! It's crazy! She has been so much fun lately. We go to a Mom and Tot swim class and she is learning so much. She loves apples and oranges, but calls them both apples. She loves to play with Daddy especially outside. She is just a joy!

Emma Marie

Since Emma is 2 now she is doing lots of new things! She is very affectionate and loves to give Mommy and Daddy hugs and kisses. She likes to wrap one arm around each of us and give us a hug. Emma says the funniest things. If she wants you to hurry she says, "Come on, come on." It sounds so cute. We took her binky away which is going okay and now she is on her crib mattress on the floor and we are working on finding her a bed. She is still adjusting to sleeping without her binky and not in her crib, but she is doing okay.

I took her to the Dr. for her 2 year check-up. She is doing great and is very healthy. She was 34 inches high and 28lbs 7oz. She is growing just like she should. I love her long hair that has pretty curls at the end. I was going to put it up today, but Robert wouldn't me let because it's so pretty down.

She loves shoes! Especially her crocs because she can put them on by herself. She loves music and loves to dance. It's so cute! She also gives the cutest little smiles. I love those. She also loves, movies, books, cars, and her babies. Her blankies are still her favorite thing when she's tired or goes to sleep

Of course, she has her moments. She is very strong willed and knows what she wants. She notices everything. It is very hard to hide things from her. She is very dramatic and sometimes the littlest things will just get her all worked up. Except she doesn't really cry she just fake crys. It's so funny. Well, pretty much she is just a fun girl who has tons of energy and makes us laugh every day.

Sorry, no pictures in this one. I can't get the pictures from my phone to the computer for some reason. I will post pics soon!

Two Years Old!!!

Emma turned two on the 22nd! I can't believe how fast time goes! We had a great day! We went to lunch and a fun little diner here in town and then we had a fun Tinker Bell party that evening. A couple families that we've met here came with their little kids. Grandpa nd Grandma Wilhelm were on their way, but had to turn around because the weather got bad. Here are some pictures of her special day!

Her cake and fun decorations!

She got a little shy right before we started to sing.

Opening her presents! She had a hard time keeping focused. :) She just wanted to go and play!

The Latest

It has been so long since I've posted. I keep waiting for something to happen with pictures, but we haven't been great about taking pictures lately. We have been settling in here in Rawlins. We have met some good people and are making some friends. They also have great things here for Moms with toddlers so Emma and I keep busy. I'm really starting to get my business going here. It's been fun to meet new people. I hope to be a Sales Director in July and earn my next car 6-9 months after that.

Robert is really liking his job more and more. He works with really nice people and he's learning a lot. We're still crossing our fingers that he gets a permanent position. It's looking good, but we won't know for sure until April or May. He also been playing church basketball to be able to get to know more people. It's not his sport, but he's learning a lot and it's really helped us to get to know more people in the ward.

My grandma passed away in February so Emma and I headed down to Mesquite, NV to spend some time with my Mom.  Emma did okay on the long drive. We stopped over in Layton for the night with Robert's very hospitable brother Carl and his family. Emma loves playing with her cousins Charlie and Alice. Carl and Laurie are so fun to visit and do so much for us! I really meant to take more pictures on this trip, but didn't really get any.

We are off this weekend to Kemmerer for a Memorial Service for my Grandma. I'm excited to see family I haven't seen in a while. Then, Emma Marie's birthday is next week which I'm so excited for!!!  I can't believe my baby is turning 2! We decided to take her binky which is actually going better than I thought it would, but while she was screaming in her crib she tried to climb out and actually fell out! She was okay, but then it was time to get her out of her crib. So she is sleeping on her crib mattress for now. We actually ordered her a Captain's bed and a mattress which I'm excited about. With this bed you don't need a box springs. The mattress sits in it and there are drawers underneath.

Well, I think that has been our life for the past couple of months. I will be posting birthday pictures soon!

More Christmas

I'm working on my blog book from last year so I want to make sure I have everything included. Here are a few more pictures from Christmas. Emma wanted nothing to do with Santa this year. She just cried. Poor little thing.  The next picture we took the Sunday before Christmas right before church. And, then of course our Christmas card from this year.
