Day 159: Worsley's Pictures

I got to take some pictures today for my friend, Micah. She has such adorable kids. It was fun taking her kids pictures. Now I just need to learn how to do group photos better.

Day 158: Monsters

We love monsters in our house. They are pretty much our favorite stuffed animal. The green and yellow big monsters are our newest additions this week. They are just so fun.

Day 157: On Four Wheels

We went to our friend's for a BBQ today. They had a couple kid 4 wheelers. Emerson loved being on them. It was so cute.

Day 156: Napping

I just love Emerson when he takes his naps. He is just so precious!

Day 155: Diapers

Before I had Emerson, I found a great deal on diapers, so I stocked up and never had to buy any diapers for him. Today I found another great sale, so I stocked up again for our next kid (so we are ready whenever that will be).

Day 154: Pick up Daddy

The past two days Jason spent a lot of time flying back and forth to California. Tonight was the last trip he had to make, so I decided to take Emerson to pick him up. It is a little airport, so we were able to go right up to the window and watch the plane come in. Emerson loved seeing the plane. The moment he saw it he pointed to it and said "oooooo" in an high pitch. It was so cute. After daddy got out, they let him go outside to see the plane a little closer. He loved it!

Day 153: Sprinklers

It was a really hot day today, so we went to our friend's house and Emerson ran through the sprinklers. He loved it. And I love watching him.

Day 152: Painting

We got our house painted today! When we first moved in they painted it this really ugly brown color. We were so mad about it because in the pictures online they had it a really pretty gray color. So, we were estatic when we saw the new color of the house! We love it.

Day 151: Feet

Jason and I was playing around with Emerson today and I started to tickle his feet. Then I realized how big his feet have gotten. I can't believe how big he has gotten in such a short time.

Day 150: Favorite seat

Emerson's favorite place to sit is in our desk. He loves to go into it and close the door behind him and just sit in the dark. I think that it is super funny when he does it.

Day 149: Home again

We got to have a final delicious breakfast before we departed the ship today. Then we headed straight home to see Emerson. It was a great cruise--very relaxing!

Day 148: Butchard Gardens

We went to Victoria, Canada (out final port) today. Ever since not making it here on our honeymoon, I have been wanting to go. It was absolutely gorgeous. We went to the Butterfly Gardens and to the Butchard Gardens. Talk about an amazing garden.

Day 147: At Sea

We had a very relaxing day today at Sea.

Day 146: Tracy Arm Fjord

We cruise the Tracy Arm Fjord today. From morning to early afternoon, we just stood up on the deck and gazed at the amazing views. What an awesome opportunity we got to see such an amazing scene.

Day 145: Train in Skagway

We went to our second port today, Skagway. What a beautiful town. We decided last minute to go on the train ride up the White Pass. I am so glad that we did. It was absolutely amazing beauty. My favrite part was when we passed into Canada and turned our train around. It was just so beautiful up there.

Day 144: Juneau

I made it to Alaska today! We first stopped in Juneau. It was a cute little city. I loved all the beautiful mountainous scenery.

Day 143: Formal Night

Today we spent the day at sea. It was fun not being able to see anything in any direction except water. We had our first formal night in the dining room. I really loved dressing up all cute to go eat.

Day 142: Ship

Today is the first day of our long awaited Alaskan cruise! The ship we are on is the Rhapsody of the Seas. It is huge! I know that it is a fun vacation in store for us!

Day 141: Packing

I spent the whole day packing for the cruise. It is a good thing that Emerson can entertain himself for long periods of time...even though it is not always things that I want him to be doing.

Day 140: Watch

I have been watchless for a few months now, and it drives me crazy to not have a watch. I have been watch shopping for pretty much the whole time that I haven't had a watch, but again I had something very specific in mind. I was looking at the watches at JcPenney and stumbled across the perfect watch! I love it. And it was on sale!!!

Day 139: Pictures

We went and got Emerson's pictures taken today. I think that it turned out pretty cute. It was really stressful because after the first picture Emerson never looked at the camera or smiled. At least he did for one picture.

Day 138: Fountains

Today we spent most of the day over at Magnolia Park. Emerson liked the fountains, but the majority of the time he was wanting to go play on the playground. It is a really bad combination having fountains and a playground with bark. They weren't thinking when they designed that.

Day 137: BBQ Swing

We went to out friend's house for a BBQ today. The hit (besides the food) was the swing. It was pretty much constantly going.

Day 136: Cars

Cars. That is the favorite in our house currently. Everything has to go vroom. It is so fun.

Day 135: Grass phobia

Emerson has a fear of walking on grass. Whenever we get to the edge of grass, he wither just stands there until we pick him up, or he will crawl. Walking is just out of the question.

Day 134: Milk and Water Concoction

Emerson loves to drink his milk at the same time as his water. It is really a common scene seeing him with both his milk and his water at the same time. I think that it is pretty funny.

Day 133: Eyes

Pretty much with out fail if someone comments on how cute Emerson is, they say something about his big beautiful eyes. (Today alone we had 7 people comment about his eyes.)

Day 132: Shoes

I have never been a big shoe person. However, when I got my luggage stole, I had to go shoe shopping to replace my shoes that I have had forever. I actually had some fun shopping for shoes this time, and I think that I chose out some really cute shoes.

Day 131: Little People

We love little people in our home. I think that they are adoreable and Emerson has so much fun lining them up and playing with them.

Day 130: Mom's Day

I had the best Mother's Day today. Emerson bought me chocolates and made me Chocolate Chip Pancakes (all with the help of Daddy). I love Emerson and feel so blessed to be his mom.

Day 129: Piggy Back

We love piggy back rides in our house. Emerson especially loves when Daddy gives them.

Day 128: Broom

Emerson's new favorite toy is the broom. He loves to walk around with it. Also another new obsession is standing by the window and watching the world go by.

Day 127: Center Piece

I have been in constant search for a table center piece that I just love. I had very specific guidelines for what it had to be (which usually means that I will never find it). However, while I was shopping at Down East Home while in Idaho, they had what I was wanting...colors and all!!! I was able to put them on my table today and I LOVE it! (...and best of all is the bowl was free with my purchase and the balls were on sale for only $3 each!!!)

Day 126: Anniversary

Today is Jason and my four year anniversary! We spent the day relaxing and playing with Emerson. It was a great anniversary.

Day 125: Middle of Mess

Emerson is always in the middle of some sort of mess. The mess could be toys, clothes, food, and so much more. But he is always super cute, even though he is making messes every where he goes.

Day 124: Giveaway Winner

I won an apron from Olive Juice and Company while I was in Idaho. Today I got it in the mail. I love my new apron!

Day 123: Coming Home

We had to head home from Idaho today. We are going to miss playing and hanging out with Grandpa Bruce, Grandma Sue and Aunt Julie. We hope that we could visit again soon!

Day 122: Dutch Oven

Grandpa Bruce is an excellent dutch oven cook. He made it for us and some friends while we were visiting. He made us Bacon wrapped chicken, cilantro-lime rice, Mexican Potatoes, and yummy yummy apple dumplings. It was so delicious!

Day 121: Family Pictures

We went out to the Railroad Tracks out in Sugar City to take some family pictures for my mom's Mother's Day gift. I really love this one. It is just so Emerson.

Day 120: Hanging with Aunt Julie

I had to run some errands today. So, I had Aunt Julie watch over Emerson. He just sat on her lap and watched as she played World of Warcraft. He really liked turning the volume up and down.

Day 119: Rocks

Emerson has a new favorite toy...rocks. Whenever we go outside, the first thing that we have to do is find a rock. Then, Emerson is as happy as can be holding his rock.

Day 118: Monsters in P.J.'s

Today started off pretty rough. Emerson screamed for about an hour straight until we figured out that he had a BAD diaper rash (must be something about him and Idaho). So we got him some desitin, and then he became as silly as can be. He loved turning around in circles trying to get these monsters out of his P.J.'s. It was really funny.

Day 117: Coming Soon

This one was one is in a file that my computer currently won't read, so we will get this one up A.S.A.P.!!!

Day 116: Snuggling Up

Lately it is a rare occation when Emerson will just snuggle up to you. Grandpa Bruce was lucky to catch Emerson in just the right mood when he got home from doing his Bishop duties that he got a snuggle from Emerson while they watch Jason play video games.

Day 115: Playing with Grandma Sue

Emerson loved playing blocks with Grandma Sue today. He loved her getting down and playing with him. I think that she really liked having an excuse to get down and be silly too.

Day 114: Traveling

We took the long road trip to Rexburg today. We got to stop in Boise for some lunch at Costa Vida! Emerson did great. Thank goodness he likes his car seat.

Day 113: Cheeser

I love Emerson's smile...especially when it is a cheeser.

Day 112: Makeup

Today I went and replaced all my makeup that was stolen. I love my bare minerals. It is the best makeup and totally worth every penny...plus it lasts forever!

Day 111: Temple

Emerson and I went to the Portland Temple today to walk around. He loved it. They had a fountain there that he just walked around and a around and around. Every once in a while, he would stop and walk up to the fountain's edge and point at the water, but very quickly he started walking around the fountain again.

Day 110: Bean Bag Chair

This is a new pretty common scene for Emerson. He loved sitting on this bean bag chair and look out at all the other houses.
