Emma's Birthday Cake

Emma Is 1 Years Old!!!!!

She made it! One years old! I still can't believe she is already one. Sometimes you have to take a step back to cherish each day because you can't live it again. On April 14, 2008 we had a little party for her. Grandma and Grandpa B came, along with Derek & Trisha's family. Grammy & Grandpa couldn't come. Grammy had 2 surgeries :( (We missed them)!

Emma with mommy at her party.
I love to put her in little dresses.


She recieved twin dolls from Grandma & Grandpa B.
She walks around the house with them all the time
loving and snuggling her new babies.


At first she didn't know what to do with her
cake and ice cream.
She would touch the frosting,
then try to flick it off her hands.


That didn't last long....


"Could my life get any better then this?"

Michael's Backyard Project

He's at it again. My husband doesn't quit working on projects (which I am grateful for) this latest one is the backyard. It was A LOT of work but we should have a nice yard in 2 months. I got a few pictures of Kaden and him working on the garden area. He also put the sprinklers in, moved 31 tons of topsoil, leveled it, and planted the seed. What a job! I am so proud of him. The best part was watching him work with Kaden. Kaden LOVES to work with Dad! These are the before pictures. The after shots will come soon.

Emma is 11 month's old and she usually takes one step then goes back to crawling. Today is the first day she has taken more then two steps. We are so proud of our little princess!

Emma's Talking

Here is my cute baby Emma. I just love when she's naked!

Her dad is trying to work on building Emma closest shelf's and not getting much help. I'm too busy playing with the kids.

Michael's Project

Michael is almost done with the framing. The next step is electrical and "all that stuff" he tells me.

As you probably already know, Michael LOVES projects. This latest one is kind of neat and fun. He is working on finishing Randy and Cris's basement (Mom and Dad Nielson) I am going to be taking pictures of the progress but I was so proud of him...

He made these layouts of what he wanted to do and I thought you would like to see them.

Cancun

Michael Graduated with his Bachelor's in Business Management (I am so proud of him) so we decided to take a trip to Cancun, Mexico with my parents Wayne and Shauna Braunberger and my little brother Alex as a little get away. The kids came so it wasn't a total getaway but what can ya do? We had a blast! Here are some pictures to tell the story...
