FUN WITH EMMA

Auntie Ash loving her baby Emma!!

Tiffy and Emma came to surprise us by sharing a week of their time. While they were here we decided on the spur of the moment to go to Utah and visit as many folks as we could. It is so difficult to get around to see everyone, so for those that we missed please know that we talked about you with the others...just kidding...We are sorry that we couldn't get to everyone's house to visit. Traveling with a 4 month old is not an easy task. There were times we let Emma dictate our schedule because of her little ailments and physical conditions. A great big thank you goes out to Juline for the arrangements to see her chiropractor for little Emma. I'm sure that it helped her get back in alignment.

We want to thank our hosts for their generous hospitality. It seems that Glenn and Shirline are always in the kitchen cookin up something for us to enjoy while we visit. We love the food, the beds, the games and the conversations. We got a special priesthood lesson slash discussion lead by Glenn. We love those opportunities to learn from him.

As Shirline goes around cooking up a storm, Glenn is right behind her with a wet rag and a sink full of hot soapy water washing up her pots, pans and utensiles as she cooks. Take a lesson guys! This is such a treat for the women to share in the kitchen duties. Thanks for your example Glenn!!

Here is a picture of Shirline when she found out that she was actually on the Rachel Ray show. Rachel Ray doesn't know what she was missing by not putting Shirline on the air.

Does this look like a grandpa that LOVES being a Grandpa?


He's so good with this little girl. She's so darn lucky to have so many people that love her.





As we headed South, we stopped off at the Strawberry Farm and found the farmer out on his tractor. Mark has really done some wonderful things with their property including a beautiful green house. It's great to have that kind of resource in the family. We all have our gifts and talents and it's so fun to share them with each other.





This grandma and grandpa got their first chance to see little Emma in person and see what kind of personality she has. When she's feeling good she's SO HAPPY!



Love language between this farmer and his wife.
It's great to come visit Mark and Lynnette. I can't think of a time that we "dropped in" that Lynnette didn't pull all she had out of the fridge and feed us, wheather we are hungry or not. She is the hostes with the mostes.



Kate and Libby Bussers came by to visit with us while we were at Mark and Lynnette's. They just live a stone's throw away now so I'm sure that we will see them more often.





Mommy Tiffy . This girl is SO PATIENT with her little Emma. She keeps it together in the tenses of moments. We are so proud of the way she has stepped into motherhood, leaving her own needs behind. Thanks for sharing this week with us Tiffy! It was a great game!
