Embracing the Pink

Our house has under gone quite a transformation over the past couple months. It has been hard on us all having to witness all the pink and fluff come in.... but emmett by far has had the hardest time. Emmett is what i like to call a horse of a boy. My 35 pound soon to be two year old enjoys only the manliest of activities, it is pretty typical to find him hanging from his bunk in his underwear... the only thing unusual about this picture is that he appears to be fairly clean.

Emmett hates anything pink... for months he has gone about the house chucking anything and everything that looks girly. He will often come in to sit in my lap while i work on my various projects, anything fluffy or made of tulle literally makes him nauseated he will leave the room gagging.

But lately.... he has given up his past issues and realized that much of this pink stuff is soft and cuddly!Some of the pink is kind of fun to play with.

And some of the pink is really quite fashionable.

Regardless of the changes... we are all looking forward to our sisters arrival and are at last accepting the changes coming.

We Are Still Here

So we are still alive.... It has been far far far to long since i have updated... and honestly i don't know where to start. So i am skipping all our summer pictures for now and going straight to the most recent. I did the boys pictures the other day. We got a few good ones. Here is a small PREVIEW.
On another note.... I ran into a friend the other day who was SHOCKED to see that I was VERY VERY VERY pregnant... and it hit me that I never really made an announcement on my blog. SO yes we are expecting a beautiful baby GIRL in just a few weeks actually... we are very very excited. My pregnancy has been really aweful... I wish i could describe it any other way... but I can't. We have had to work so so so hard to keep this little girl from coming to early and now that it is finally coming down to the end..... I know she is going to make us wait. She will be worth it!

Happy Easter

We were lucky enough to spend the weekend with my parents in Burley where it is always a party.
We started off with a big easter hunt at the hospital... my first warning sign should have been there was five adults to every toddler.... Out of about a thousand eggs my boys ended up with two each. The parents there were very scary and aggressive, adults took eggs right out of our hands... so some people ended up with hundreds... and some of the more behaved people ended up with nothing. hahaha.... however... my boys are easy to please and were glad with their two little eggs.

Fortunately the easter doggy was there to soften the blow...

We drove out far out of the city to have our annual hot dog roast. Nothing makes little boys happier than an open field, tractors flames and marshmallows.

Papa and the boys filling a drill with seed.

Ahh.. yummy sticky marshmallows.

Of course we colored some eggs. Markay is very good at it... He is always so excited to help Grandma Jill with all of her "projects" as he calls them.

The finished product that Mak so generously donated to our potato salad and deviled eggs.

What's easter without newborn baby lambs. The boys love headin out with papa to see the lambies.

The boys cleaned sure cleaned up and our Easter was closer to Christmas.

OUR California Adventures

This is a major blog overload I just couldn't resist putting in every single picture I did. We were lucky enough to spend our Spring break in not so sunny, but sunnier than Idaho, CALIRFORNIA. We got to spend some fun time with David's fam, and did every activity in the book. Including: A day in each.... Disneyland, California Adventures, San Diego Zoo, and Sea World.

Emmett was crazy about the characters, we were shocked since we had such a bad santa experience. He was one of those kids elbowing other kids out of the way to get his turn.

How tired do you have to get to find this comfy?

The highlight of our lives hhahaha.

We waited 1 hr and 50 min to ride dumbo, but Mak had seen this ride on the internet and it was the one ride he felt he would die if we didnt get to try.

So happy that we are gritting our teeth and have a bit of the shakes... if you know my boys at all you know this is classic joy.

Mak was screaming "Shamu, Shamu!!!" as loud as anyone else in the park.

This was so exciting to feed the sealions, even though a bird tried to steal our fish. Mak told me his favorite part of seaworld was "When mom punched that bird who tried to steal my fish..." Yes no one messes with my babies so look out... hahaha.

The beach was a cool 54 degrees, but my boys BOTH bailed right into the ocean. We were so shocked... we had to run in and fish them out... Hence... Mak is running around in his underwear and emmett is wearing my sweatshirt.

It was such a LONG week, but the boys loved every second of it. There were no tears over long lines, or complaints over missed naps. They handled 14 hours of disneyland like PROS!!! It was so much fun and totally worth every sore foot and back to take them.
