Too
Much Partying?

his lap, New Years Day, 2005)

"Hi Dad! What's for
Lunch?"

Another Trip Out West - For Nicole & Ben's
Wedding!
Jen's sister Nicole got married on January 15th,
in the LDS temple in Idaho Falls, Idaho.. Jen and Emily flew out for a couple
weeks to attend the wedding and visit everyone for a while... (and, as usual,
we took pictures with three different cameras - Lisa's, Dad's and ours, so
I only have 1/3 of the pictures at this point - none of the wedding, for
example... sigh...)

|
While we were at Aunt Jessie's in
Roy, we had a bit of a fashion shoot - Aunt April Boulier sent Emily
(6mo) and Sydney (15mo) matching "Maine" sweatshirts and Aunt
Barbara Martel's family sent the girls cool hats...
|
"Smells like a cousin...
tastes like a cousin..."
|
"Give Emmie a Love!"
|
"...mmm..tassle.."
"Hey - neat slippers"
|
At Aunt Lisa's,
we played a lot with Michael and cousin Riley...
**Later Note: We have since been
offered the chance to adopt Michael, whom Lisa was providing foster care
for. We have gladly accepted, so y'all will being seeing a lot more of our
little man in the months (and years!) to come....
|
Sometimes it got a little crowded...
(Riley, 10mo and Emily, 6mo)
|
Mikey (8mo) has learned
to stand, but can only get
down by doing the "splits"...
|
...but that doesn't seem
to bother him...
|
While Lisa and I made breakfast, we
put Mikey in the pack-n-play with
Emily - and Riley (10mo) wanted in, too!
|
Good Morning Sunshine!
|
"I wonder when they'll find me?"
(Michael discovered a fun hiding
place between the couch and
the giant beanbag chair)
|
....and Emily got to try out Riley's bath chair
in the "big" tub...
|
"Neat Mom!"
|
"Come back here, you!"
|
"Do you like my hat?"
|
Of course, back home there are more new experiences
to enjoy.... like Cookies!
|
|
|
|
Unfortunately, Emily had two icky colds in a row at the end of January...
|
...so she did a lot
of sleeping...
|
...enjoyed more baths
than usual...
(to help ease her croopy cough)
|
...and had some extra
snuggle time...
|
P.S. We're working on some new tricks for February...
