We Build Forts

Sometimes you just have to build a fort and have a lazy day! And when it makes your daughter's day you pretty much do a double fist in the air and take the mom win! 


Because We all need a pick me up


Comfortable Reading

Sometimes we just have to find a comfortable place to read.....




And sometimes I question what she considers comfortable reading....






One of Our Last Park Days

The parks here are amazing! How many parks just have a lake view right next to it? We love the parks and she is so active so it gets some of that energy out which means a good nap time later on. Luckily we squeezed out one more park day before it was just too cold for me and Nathan was able to join us which made it even better. 





Halloween Year 2

We kept it simple this year. Emerie kind of understood more but not enough to go all out. We went to the Halloween event at the zoo and the trunk or treat for our ward. All I can say is it was so fun to watch her learn more and enjoy collecting candy. My brother was here for the trunk or treat so it was fun to do that with him.





It was fun and I should have got more pictures but sometimes it's better to be in the moment. Next year should be even more fun! 


A Visit From My Brother

I really didn't think any if my siblings would ever come and visit but after my brother called asking if it was okay if he came out I was THRILLED! 

Daniel is an awesome brother and even better uncle and the bond that Emerie and Daniel created in a week was so cute. She definitely preferred going to him by the end of the week! 

Our birthdays are two days apart so it was so nice to spend our birthdays together! 


We went  to a lot of fun new places while he was here and it was fun exploring our new city with him. 

               Spring Grove Cemetary


                 Purple People Bridge

                 Newport Aquarium 


                 Touching sharks!!!


It was so fun and I cried dropping him off because it was hard realizing we would be away from family for awhile. I'm glad he came and we definitely can't wait for another visit or any other visitors... We have plenty of room and a nice bed!
