                                 Emery has been the BEST thing that happened to us in 2011!

Emery

This Big guy is 6 months old now and weighs 20 pounds!!! He was born into our family on May 4th of this year and weighed in at 8 1/2 pounds!!! He has brought nothing by happiness into our family since they day he was born! For those of you who know him, you will agree that he is the happiest baby in the whole entire world!!! He smiles and laughs all day! Our kids actually fight over who gets to hold him next! They love playing with him and he loves them! Obviously he loves to eat! We are so grateful to have this little guy in our family! We love him so much!

Elle

Our little Elle Belle is the sweetest little thing! She pretty much does anything Sunny does-you could say she is Sunny's shadow! Regan was able to potty train her while I was in the hospital with Emery so that was a lovely surprise to come home to! Elle was in the delivery room for most of the labor with Emery because I was just going in for an appointment when my dr. said that I was dilated to an 8 1/2 and that I needed to walk to labor and delivery right then. She told me I didn't even have enough time to take Elle home, so she just played with her dollies and ate suckers while I was having my water broken! She loves Emery so much and wants to play with him all day! She has started Kindermusik this year and absolutely LOVES it!  If you can't find Elle in the house, all you have to do is listen because she is usually singing I love to see the temple or I am a child of God somewhere in the house! {even when she is in the corner!}
She is 3 years old now and we are so glad she is a part of our family!

Sunny

Our little Sunny Bunny is 5 years old and as sassy as ever! She is starting to get her own sense of fashion and wants to do her own hair and choose out her own outfit for school every day! She is just beautiful! She is LOVING Kindergarten this year. She loves to read books, do her homework, and practice her violin every day! She is doing so well with violin. She looks forward to her lessons with her violin teacher, Mrs. Smoot, and is on Perpetual Motion in Suzuki Book 1. She gets her violin out on her own everyday to practice without me even saying anything!!! She and Elle have turned into Best Friends this year and play so well with each other. She started a dance class this year with her friends and LOVES to come home and show me what she learned! She also is in kindermusik and loves to learn how to read music notes! She won an award this year for her picture in reflections and you can usually find her with a marker and paper drawing pictures with Elle. We love this little girl so much and she has brought so much happiness to our lives!

Riley

Riley is 7 years old! He is in 2nd grade this year and is doing so well in school! He is also doing very well in violin. He just started Suzuki Book 3 and loves to really get into his music by dancing and feeling the beat! :)
He is currently playing Jr. Jazz Basketball with a bunch of friends and goes to Karate every week where he just earned his Yellow Belt! With the new addition of Emery to our family, Riley has LOVED having another boy in the family! He loves to hold Emery and Play with him! He is a great big brother! Riley has read numerous chapter books and loves to read every night in bed. We have had to buy extra groceries this year since this boy is growing by the hour! He loves to eat!!! Riley won an award for his reflections literature entry for the whole school {out of 30 entries!} and went on to District. He is very creative and loves to draw, read and write! We are so proud of our Riley Boy because he is a good friend, he is happy & outgoing, smart and we love him so much!
