I love these guys.

10 Year Reunion

We went out to Rexburg for Jason's 10 Year Reunion.  It was fun seeing all of Jason's friends from High School.  They had a water fountain right next to the pavillion we were in and of course it was Emerson's favorite part.  He just sat there and played with it most of the time.  I don't think that the other parents liked it because their kids wanted to run through the puddles as well.  At this park they have a big splash park too, so I took him to that after about an hour and he loved it.  I am glad we went out to Rexburg to go to this.  We all had a bunch of fun.

Fourth of July in Sugar

The fourth of July was so fun.  We went out and played balls and frisbees all morning.  Then we had a delicious dutch oven dinner that Bruce made. We played some Dungeon Lords.  Then we went to a park to watch the Rexburg fireworks.  It was a lot of fun. 

Water at the Park

On our way to Jason's parent's house, we stopped at a park in Rexburg to see my mom.  Emerson found the water fountain there.  All he wanted to do the whole time we were there was turn on and off the the water.  He created such a big puddle.  He loved it.

Helping with Grandpa's Yard.

The first night in Sugar City, Emerson went out with Jason and Grandpa Bills to help moving rocks off the grass.  Emerson loved being out there.  He found a stick that he called a kite and was flying it up in the sky.  Too cute!  Later they turned the sprinklers on and Emerson ran through them.  He loved having a place to go out and play. 

New Bedtime Routine

We have this picture hanging just as you walk out of our bedroom just above the light switch.  Every night Jason lifts Emerson up to have him turn off the light.  Usually he points out this picture and says "Mommy, Daddy" while pointing at us. 
The other day, I was over by them for some reason and he said "Mommy kiss", so I kissed him.  Then he said "Daddy kiss", so Jason kissed him.  Then he said "Mommy Daddy kiss", so we kissed each other.  Then he said "no no, Daddy kiss face" and pointed at the picture.  So we realized that he wanted us to reinact the picture.  It was too cute.

I love being a Mom.

Being a mom is the  best job in the world.  There are days that it is very frustrating and hard, but all the joys of motherhood completely outweigh the downs.


I love being Emerson's mom. 
I love watching him grow and learn. 
I love his kisses. 
I love his dancing. 
I love his sweet little voice. 
I love that he runs every where...even though I can't keep up with him. 
I love that he get so excited about Daddy coming home. 
I love that he loves dogs and cats, but hasn't asked me for one yet (that is going to be a sad day for him when he asks).
I love that he wants to help.  He brings up all the cans every week after grocery shopping.
I love that he is obsessed with "Crappers" (Clifford the Big Red Dog).
I love that he will give me hugs to get things.
I love that he says "please" and "thank you".
I love that he loves "Ma's water".
I love that every night he wants chocolate milk, not just milk.
I love that he calls everything soup.  For example, pudding is dessert soup. And cereal is cereal soup.
I love that he says cheese when the camera comes out...even if he refuses to look at it.
I love that every morning you can count on him yelling at the birds as he sees them through the window.
I love when he jumps.
I love that he hides under the covers and says "water" (a.k.a. Where are you?)
I love that he wants to lay down when reading books.
I love that he says I'm sorry.
I love that he know most of his letters and numbers.
I love that he can find every train track we cross and hear every train in the distance.
I love that he loves to find planes and helicopters.
I love that he loves and needs me.
I love that this list is just the start of what I love about Emerson and being a mom.


I love being a MOM!

I'm sorry

I'm sorry.

Those are two words that we are hearing frequently from Emerson's mouth for the past couple of days. It is so sweet.

On Saturday at breakfast, Emerson was eating rolls with Nutella on it. At one point he accidentally dropped one of them onto the floor. It was like it was the worst thing that he had ever done in his mind. He said "I sorry" and then just bursted out in tears. It was so sad but so sweet. I had to go give him a big hug to get him to be able to calm down and want to eat again.

I love how sweet of a kid Emerson is.

Happy Mother's Day

To:Grandma Bush and Grandma Bills.
Love, Emerson

ENJOY!

Happy Mother's Day!

(Please excuse the slight break where I accidently recorded over.  It is of Emerson figuring out how to reach the light switch.) 

Family Pictures

Here are the promised family pictures. I think that they actually turned out alright considering I took all the pictures with a tripod and a remote. I framed them all up and then went to where I told Jason not to move from and snapped the pictures. Though, I think that Jason took a step pretty much every time or the wind blow and moved my tripod because almost every set up was off by a little. So the majority of the poses were not usable because someone was cut off. But I do still think that we still got some cute pictures anyway.
