I am a loser!

I know this sounds bad, but it is good.
In fact, in my opinion I am "The Biggest Loser."
Bold statement, I know.

Yes, I am a fan of the show. More details to follow.

Shilo and Emery

The last couple weeks I think Shilo is enjoying Emery a bit more. I think Shilo still tolerates Emery, but look how nicely she is sharing her kennel. Emery loves Shilo so much, and even tried to "ride" her the other day.

Friends

Friday night was so much fun. Emery got to have her friend Maya over. They got to watch the movie "Up", (the whole 20 minutes that they lasted). So cute with their munchies and captivated by the movie.

Sleepover with the cousins

Brett and I have started a tradition to have a sleepover with the nephews each time we go out to Utah. My mother in law is always willing to open her house to this lovely, yet chaotic tradition.

I love the picture we got of the kids early the next morning, bed head and all.

Santa

Such a big girl. She loved Santa.

Compare to last year. So cute!

Back to Bethlehem

Our ward had a "Back to Bethlehem" themed Christmas party. Emery sure made a cute shepherd.

Family pictures

Just some fun pictures of the family. These were taken by my step sister Kara while trying to get the perfect family picture for our Christmas cards. I won't post that one till later.

Thanks Kara, you did a great job.

More Witch

Our little darling, and a great photographer.

One of our good friends, Joey Ocasio took this great picture of Emery at the ward Trunk or Treat.

Good witch

This was my favorite picture of the night. Some think it was bad of me to dress Emery up as a witch. She was going to be a bee, but she didn't like to wear that costume. She found the witches hat and wore it around the store. It was cute, and she is so good, not a witch at all.

Our first snow of the year.

This was Emery's first experience with snow too.

She wasn't too sure at first when I plopped her down in the middle of it. Then I sat her down,

And pushed her back so she was laying in it, she realized I was playing with her and loved it.
We got over 2 feet of snow last week. I had 3 snow days in a row. That never happens, it was so nice.

Pumpkin

I am sure many of you remember last year's adorable pumpkin picture. We decided to try again this year. You can see, she hasn't grown much.

Picking the perfect pumpkin

Emery loves to push things with wheels. She found this wagon at the pumpkin patch and enjoyed pulling it all around.

Once we got out to the car, Brett opened the trunk and when we turned around, Emery was trying to help pick up the pumpkin and put it in herself.


Daddy helped her pick it up. It was just a little big.

More pictures while in California

With my girl!

Grandma with her grandkids.

Sacramento

An old family tradition. Fenton's, look at that ice cream sundae, need I say more. Toasted almond ice cream, carmel, whip cream and a cherry. Scrumptious!

Megan's baby Alanna with Emery at the Nut Tree. I have a picture of me as a kid on these same horses.

Megan and Alanna. So beautiful and glamorous!
