It's about time! (I know!)

So it has been almost 4 months since I have posted. Why you ask? No fantastic reason other than life, and my life isn't full of totally exciting blog worthy things.
So, new things that have happened?
-Cam turned 32 years old, on April 9th, he is officially on old man, but still super sexy! Oh and I used a sewing maching to make his from the heart birthday gift, a Utes BBQing apron; and baked his favorite, orange cake! So, domestic, huh?! Oh, I guessed I turned 26 in February too, but no pics and what did we do???



-Lee (Cam's dad) had a bit of a health scare. He ended up having a triple bypass surgery in Boise. Cam was able to be there with him for that. Then Cam, Emma and I went to Carey to visit him over Conference weekend. He is doing surprisingly well and was only in the hospital for 5 days and has already gone back part time to work. He is such a blessing in our lives and we are so grateful that everything went well, we love you Lee and continue to keep you in our prayers.





Aunt Kelly pretty much was Emma's personal entertainment all weekend long, thanks Kel!

And of course, Uncle Aaron had to get in his fair share of roughing her up!!

-We had the 15th grandchild born on the Peck side. Alexander Edward Peck, was born on April 7th, he is cute as a peanut.

Emma always says "oh, he's so cute and tiny!" whenever she holds a baby!

Jameson Jay Griffiths (#14) was born in January. Here is Emma visiting him in Vegas.

-I am still pregnant, this pregnancy has been much harder on me and much more filled with pain and discomfort. I currently have my third cold of this pregnancy so far and a nasty cough that feels like Maren is going to pop from my abdomen with every cough. Thus why I am blogging instead of cleaning my house right now. (Allie would have a heart attack if she saw the tornado that went through my house, I probably have like 3 loads of dishes to do, bummer!) I have absolutely no nesting instincts and am totally unprepared for June. Good thing I have a hard working husband!
-Um, I started a new job at Mountain West Medical Center working in their OB unit (Labor and Delivery/Post-Partum) in February, I really like it, however, it is way different than the "U" (I still work there one day a week). That could be its own post in and of itself.
-Cam got a new job at Zions Bank in January and is really liking it and doing quite well, I am really proud of him.

-Emma is in a big girl bed downstairs, she is getting so big and is "so excited for when Maren is big enough to come out of my belly." She also has a cold currently. Her newest thing is to act like she has no idea what you said when you ask her to do something and cocks her head and says "what you said momma?" This gets really annoying when all you have said is "Please put on your shoes" or something else completely simple. She is definetly two and I definetly have less patience since I am prego. Oh, she can now open doors too! She hides in the pantry at least six times a day. She loves to play "Hunt the Belly Wampus" (thanks Griffy's) and hides in the same 3 places, under Maren's crib, in her closet or under a blanket. She can count to 16 and sings her ABC's but not in the right order all the time. She had a fabulous time playing with all her cousins while they were here for Spring Break and it made me realize that I really need to start a playgroup for her.
We went to Wheeler Farm and looked at all the animals.

The cousins! Emma is crying, she had just got dirt thrown in her face by the boys!
Feeding the ducks.
Playing "Ring Around the Rosies"
Looking at the piggies.
Emma always wanted to climb up the fence like the big kids were doing, she needed a little help.


The Childrens' Museum at the Gateway.

-I changed from my snowflake background today but it is snowing outside! I am ready for consistenly good weather.
The first BBQed hot dog of season!

Here are some other random pics of what we have been doing.

Emma's easter present from the Easter Bunny. We didn't take her to church that week, due to her cough. That worked out okay though considering I forgot to get her an Easter dress. Poor thing, her mom is really losing her mind!

Emma absolutely LOVED dying Easter eggs. She hasn't stopped asking to do it again since!Please excuse the snot running down her nose, and don't I just look beautiful???



The End! Hopefully the next post won't need to be a novel. Sorry!

Yahoo an update! It's fun to see what you have been up to.

Keith and Allie said...

I was starting to wonder if you'd given up blogging! I love the post! Let me come clean your house sometime. It's always more fun to clean someone else's! Well I'm off to laundry! Ha ha! We love and miss you!

Julie said...

wow! That is quite the update! I'm glad you're back!! It sounds like you guys have been busy. Emma is a doll :) I can't wait to see the next one!

I am glad you have a new post. Eventhough I already knew most of your posted info it was still fun to read. It is always fun to see your pictures. I hope you let me come clean your house when your baby is born. We might come up to SLC and see you.

Oh man, I am feelin for ya, being prego and sick is just not a fair combo. Seriously, isn't it enough to just be pregnant, everything is swollen enough without adding a cold to the mix...so sorry babe! I'm glad to see that tornados hit other people's houses too, at least you have a good excuse to leave it that way...I'm out of excuses, and yet the mess remains... :) I know you live far away, but you should come to our playgroups...if ya wanna...

Hey Emma, Where have I been? I never think to look at your blog. I should have been your cleaning lady! You are a great mom and I think (no I know) you are too, too hard on yourself. I love you anyway! Love, Mom
