Happy Birthday Baby!


I cannot believe that it has been a whole year since little Emma was born. She is such an amazing little girl. She has blessed our family in ways that I cannot even explain. She is joy and laughter all rolled up into one. She is doing so well you really do forget that she has "some" cells in her body that have an extra chromosome. She has not only blessed our family but so many other people as well. We are a lucky family!

I am so lucky to be her mama. So many people told us when she was born and in the following days (they are such a blur to me still) that God knew what He was doing when he gave us Emma. I was not so sure. I knew that I was scared about the whole "extra" chromosome thing but I also knew that I was this little girls mama. A little baby girl that had been waited on for 20 years. And here she was. The world would say that she was not perfect. But I can tell you that in our families eyes she is and will always be perfect. I now know that God in fact did know what he was doing. She is amazing. And I really am the luckiest mama in the world. I have 5 great babies and a wonderful son-in-law and this little baby has been just what God wanted her to be to me and that is a joy and a light in this sometimes really dark and ugly world. I hope that she has been that to you as well. Thank you for sharing this year with us and we look forward to all of you continuing to be a part of our families life and especially little Emma's.

Me and Chris

This is one of the cuter pictures of the weekend. Of course could not get one with Michael in it. Emma loves all of her big brothers

A weekend in Pine




We went to our good friends cabin in Pine this past weekend and we had such a great time. It was chilly at night as you can see by the boys wrapped up in a blanket. I think what makes me so happy about this picture is that they are sitting next to each other and they are not fussing or beating on each other. Just being brothers. And you can see what Emma and daddy did this weekend.

Cheetos!


Ok I have been caught. I could not help myself. At least they are the figure friendly baked style. Whatever that means! hahaha

Go Diamondbacks!


As you can see I am at a D-Backs game with my dad and our church. It was my first game. Everyone loved having me around. As you can see I am not sporting the customary Sedona Red, I think I will stick with a color that flatters my skin tone. At least that is what Mama says.

So Sleepy!



Ok so here is the video. Sorry about the confusion from the first post

So Sleepy!


As you can see Emma was fighting falling asleep yesterday. A dear friend of ours, Sandi, (Chris's girlfriends mom) was holding her and it was so cute so I had to catch it on tape.
