Birthday festivities

We celebrated Emery's 1 year birthday today at Discovery Park. It was a beautiful day and filled with great friends, food and family!!! Emery seemed to enjoy all of the festivities, although we are not sure what he was really thinking. We sang happy birthday and he just looked around at all of the people and was a bit overwhelmed :) Thank you to everyone who was able to come for making this such a great day for our little boy!

The family

Our good friends Dave, Amber, Quinn & baby Hendrix

EMERY IS ONE YEARS OLD TODAY!!!!!! We celebrated Em's birthday today on the boat with his grandmas and aunt Kelli. He had a great day. We will celebrate with friends and family tomorrow for his party at the park.

Emery in the backyard

These were taken today after church in the backyard. It is a beautiful day and the wild flowers are everywhere.

New PJ's

We bought these PJ's a few months ago and I remember thinking that these will not fit him at 12 months, well I guess I was wrong. He is getting to be such a big boy!

Where did my baby boy go?

Where did baby Emery go? Just in the last few days, Emery is looking more and more like a little boy and not a baby. How does this happen so quick? It makes me so sad but at the same time it is wonderful to see him grow, learn and progress. We couldn't love him anymore!!!

Some time at the lake

Here are some pics from the lake (Lucky Peak & Arrowrock). The dogs were sooo happy to be in the water again. Emery seemed to enjoy himself too.

So thirsty... trying to drink out of our water bottle

I must be getting brave to post a pic of me in a maternity bathing suit (yuck)

Emery with his daddy (notice Carlin on the left sliding in the sand)

Riley & Cody enjoying fetching the ball

Getting so BIG!!!

Emery is getting so BIG! He is such a cutie! He loves to walk down the fireplace. I can't believe he will be a year old soon. It makes me sad, it is amazing how fast the time has gone.

Bath time, he is now standing in his bath tub!

1st Mother's Day!!!

My 1st Mother's Day. We had a great day; started at church and then went to the park for a picnic with my mom.

Emery's 1st ride on the swings, he loved it!!!

My mom had Emery going down the slide and then daddy came along.....

And daddy decided to send Emery down by himself!!!!

Happy Mother's Day to all of you!
