On March 15th at 8:22 a.m. Liam Kent was born. He weighed 6 lbs 15 oz and was 20 inches long. He was born via C-section. He is a darling baby boy. Emma sure loves him already.

At least she isn't crying...

Merry Christmas!

A funny Thanksgiving moment

It had been a busy Thanksgiving day for us. It had been our year with Ian's family but they were doing dinner late so we decided to do two Thanksgiving dinners that day. I know how crazy are we but we did it. We did my family early afternoon and Ian's late afternoon. The day had been going well and rather enjoyable. After we were done at the Reese's we knew we had to stop back by my parents to pick up our big pot with the potatoes had been in. Emma was having a lot of fun being the center of attention since everyone was gone and it was just her. My parent's had given each grandchild one of those advent calenders where you pop out a day and there is a piece of chocolate in it for each day. Emma was beyond excited about this. She asked my dad to write her name on it for her and to make it pretty. So he had sat down to do this and as he started she simply said to my dad "E". We all looked at Emma and it was hard not to start laughing. Emma is really proud of the fact that she can spell her name and she was just helping my dad out.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Enjoying a nice dry evening.

The Crawford's came to Visit

During their whirlwind tour, Jaren and Shani found a few hours to drop by and visit (which was awesome). Their family is doing great with Riley being quite the handful and Avery is super cute.

Thanks for dropping by Crawfords. Have a great vacation!

Memorial Day 2009

Whew! The day started with a trip to the Dinosaur museum (which is really cool. Emma loved it.) followed by a BBQ in Park City. The pictures should give an idea of it all. Note - We got to the museum a bit early and spend the time waiting chasing a butterfly. That's what's going on with the butterfly pics.

First Lagoon Day of the Year!

It was a great evening for riding bikes.

St George

This past week was Spring break in Davis County. Some friends of mine decided that we needed a vacation. Since Northern Utah can't make up it's mind an warm up we decided the only right choice was to go to St. George. One of our friends parents lives down St. George and had enough room to takeus all in. When I say all of us in I mean four adults and five children. We had a blast swimming shopping and just relaxing. Unfortunately my sweet Emma ended up getting really sick while I was down there. As most of you know I served a mission in Phoenix, Arizona and my Mission President lives down there. Since I was down in there area I made sure to go by and visit him and his wife. He was the one who told me that Emma was sick and I should see a doctor. Since he is a doctor he probably knew what he was talking about. I brushed him off telling him I am not taking my daughter to the doctor for a fever. Too bad a I did not listen to him. I did not take many pictures while I was down there. Just one shot in the car on the way down and one of my Mission President and his wife. Enjoy!!!

These are just a few of some of Emma's friends that came to Emma's party. You can tell they are having a lot of fun. The little boy is her cousin Mason

It has occurred to me that I have never blogged Emma's birthday that was back in January. She turned four on January 28 and we did a Chucky Cheese B-day. We had a lot of kids and she had a lot of fun. This is just one of the cute pictures from the party.

Bellybuttons

The other day Emma was playing at a friends house which is pretty normal for her. The mom and I were downstairs talking. Emma came downstairs really upset saying she wanted to go home. This is really unusual for her because the home we were out she loves to play at and we rarely get to play there any more. She then started to go on and on about her bellybutton. She wanted to see my mine and kept pointing to hers. She kept saying hers was gone and so was mine. She asked if we needed to go to the doctor. It is when it hit me that she must have seen her friends who had an outie bellybutton. Emma's has an innie bellybutton and so is mine. She thought because hers was so far in that the "doctor" needed to fix it. After a good day of talking to her I finally convinced her that her bellybutton was fine and nothing was missing and she would be okay.
