Easter, Mother's Day and a Few Fun Days!

Easter        
        We went to Caliente for Easter, John had a Business Trip the 3 days before the weekend so I rode home with my Brother and his family to spend a few extra days.  We then headed to Panaca when John's parents got home and spent Easter Sunday with them.  It was a great trip and we had lots of fun being able to see our families and visit with friends.

On the trip down he was so content holding his cousins hand.  They did this the whole time and it was like a 5 hour drive.

Saturday morning we colored eggs, since John didn't get there till midnight on Friday.

We then took some nice family pictures.

My Mom insisted we do a picture like this, but it did turn out cute.

As we finished up my neices came by so I grabbed this picture, what a bunch of beautiful children.

Grandpa took Emerson hunting eggs at the Easter Egg Hunt.

Every year we have a family picnic after the Hunt, we have been doing this for years my Grandma always insisted that we go on a picnic and have fried chicken and the tradition has stuck.  My Dad and Mom also hide some plastic eggs w/candy in the yard and one money egg per grandchild this is Emerson looking for his.

One of John's awesome Aunts sent us a cool gift of clothes for all of Emerson's firsts, this is the Easter outfit she sent.

Easter Sunday we woke up at John's parents house and the Easter bunny had visited and left Emerson a basket.

Mother's Day
        It was strange realizing that this year I would be celebrating Mother's Day.   We were all trying to get over some head colds so we stayed in and vegged most of the day.  A few days later John and Emerson planted the flowers out front in my flower bed, it was good to get outside in the fresh air on such a nice day.

This is the card that John and Emerson got me.  John said that when he held that one up to show Emerson he smiled so that is how he picked it.

Cleaning out the flower bed.

Decided to take a break and then took a nap.

Watching Daddy work.

Just hanging he has become such a wiggle worm.

John tried to get Emerson to help plant not sure he was much help.

Finished result, Happy Mother's Day Mom!

Some Fun Moments from the Last few Weeks

Meeting my Aunt Ashley

Meeting my Uncle Cade

Napping with Grandpa

We were getting ready to head home from visiting with my family and my Nephew asked if he could come on his lunch from school to say goodbye.  He is so sweet and always waits his turn so he didn't spend much time holding Emerson so since I was going to feed him right before we left I let my Nephew do it, he was so excited, he went back to school and told his Mom I got to feed the baby.

I was making cookies the other night and John was tired so I brought Emerson in the kitchen he just sat there in the Bumbo watching me.

Tummy time with Daddy

He always wants to play with John so if John takes a nighttime feeding Emerson thinks that he gets to play instead of go back to sleep.

The other night Emerson was really fussy which was a little abnormal since he has been having good 4 hour long stretches of sleep.  After being up with him till 4 I was exhausted and crying so I woke up John to come help.  About 2 seconds after John picked him up he pooped, so John changed him during the changing he peed all over the bed and himself and then he got all happy so we had to take this picture at 4:30 AM.

First of April my Sister was getting married in Manti so one of my neices came to help us before the wedding.  The morning we were all trying to get ready to travel and he was fussy so she picked him up and he immediatley laid his head on her shoulder and went to sleep.  She is the greatest little helper ever, I wish I could have her all the time.

While my Neice was here I asked her what she wanted to do and she wanted to play the Wii.  She asked if we had Just Dance 2, we didn't so we went and bought it.  This and below are her and John playing.  It was such a Hoot to watch John.
