Most recent week


Well, The major even this week has been the wedding of Rebecca's sister, Melissa to Kenley Cox. It was a beautiful day with a beautiful bride, Kenley you looked good too. The kids were 125% better than we thought they would be for the all day event. We are sure grateful to Ashley and Clarissa for watching Emma and Seth during the ceremony. It was a huge weight off our shoulders.
They could not have asked for a better June day for this wedding. The decorations for the reception were wonderful along with the ribs, meatballs, artichoke dip, chicken, and whatever you wanted to dip into the white or brown chocolate fountains. Here are some pictures from it.
All Emma could say last week was, I want cheese, ice cream, and to see Melissa in her pretty white dress and how she wanted to where hers.

New happening this week:
  1. We got 4 new trees. We got a Maple and 3 Quakies.
  2. We (our neighbors included) killed 2 gopher snakes
  3. Emma is having more success in the potty training
  4. Seth still has no desire to potty train we learned yesterday
  5. How to make compost; 3 parts grass, 3 parts leaves, 1 part water, and lots of air
  6. Grandma and Grandpa Cook(ie) have a lot of fresh peas and strawberries, yum
  7. Emma is still afraid of dogs, Seth is not
  8. Emma has learned to ride a 2 wheeler with training wheels, Seth is still figuring it out the tricycle
  9. Seth is talking more and you can actually understand: No, uh oh, huh?, Jesus, Wow, Daddy, Mommy, binky, over there, blanky.

This week

This is Seth's favorite activity as of late. He has figured out how to open the dryer door (Thanks to his mischievous sister, Emma). He will climb in there and shut the door. We have decided to always keep the laundry room shut and locked. This past weekend we went to Logan for Mrs. Boondock's sister's own endowment session.
(Natalie I fully expect you to correct my grammar, can you believe on that quiz I missed 2?) It was a fun time with Bec's family, and always enjoyable in the Temple. After the temple we went to dinner at Maddox in Birgham City, what tasty food!!!!
Emma has decided she loves popsicles.



She will eat them at any time of day no matter how full she is, kind of sounds like mom with the saced ice cream. The 4 staples in our house has become milk, cheese, ice cream, and popsicles, all cheap things of course.
New things that have happened this week-
Emma-learning and recognizing colors beyond pink and princess.
Seth-will point at you and yell no, or dad depending on what dad has done.
Mom-learning the joys of being pregnant again, and in the summer.
Dad-mow the lawn with a riding lawn mower (it is more difficult than one would expect)
Grapes- Andrea (Jeff's sister) found some grape starts for free and she called us and we got some grape starts.
Swimming- We let the kids use the new kiddie pool/ the neighbors kiddie pool
Kids- Attacking mom is fun!!!!!!!

Dad- Not all dads make great horsies.
