[Emmy - 2 months}

Seriously, it has been two months already. It seems like just yesterday and forever ago at the same time. Is that possible? Love having this sweet girl in my life!

Halloween Party and an update on Emmy

My kids have been so stinkin excited for halloween. I have pictures of ghosts, witches, pumpkins draculas, bats, spiders.....taped to my walls everywhere. So cute and so annoying. They love halloween so I decided to through a little halloween party with a few friends for them. My freind and neighbor Tori helped out and did the doughnut game with them and it was hilarious. Treyden wore three different costumes throughout the party - Dracula, Darth Vader and Spider Man. They had a great to but I vow to never do it again. My kids were to excited all morning and afternoon which resulted in a lot of disobedience. GRRRR.

Emmy is getting to big to fast for me. She is so sweet and is starting to smile and coo. Love it. She still has a lot (for my kids) of hair in back and none on top. Pretty funny. She gets an upset stomach almost every night and stays up a little to late for my liking but it is about the only time that I really get to sit and hold her so I love that.

Blessed

Love having this new sweet baby in our family. We have been so blessed to have such happy healthy babies and Emmy has been no different. Treyden, Kenlee, and Indie love her so much and some times a little to much. I have had to rescue her from Indie twice who thinks she is big enough to carry her around and in all honesty wasn't doing to bad of a job of it. Treyden was teaching her about the scriptures yesterday and about where she came from and Kenlee loves to read to her. She is a spoiled baby. Mitch and I are of course smitten. It is amazing how quickly a newborn can erase the memories of horrible pregnancies and make you want a million more.

EMMY MAE SIMMONS

September 6, 2011
8lbs 1oz 21 in

Since last time (in no particular order)

1. Simmons Reunion at Rigby Lake






2. Adams Reunion in Island Park


Don't know what bite Indie but she looked like Quazimodo for a couple of days.


3. School started. (mixed emotions for me)
- Treyden - kindergarten
- Kenlee - preschool




4. Indie stayed up late due to the fact that Kenlee wouldn't fall asleep so she got to help us make applesauce.

5. And last but not least Treyden brought this little guy home from a neighbors house. Nasty. He let it go in our garden so it could eat the bugs. Thanks.

Summer Afternoon

Loved this afternoon. While Indie was sleeping I sat on my back porch and watched Treyden and Kenlee play in the water. Loved it!

Fourth of July

For the Fourth this year we went up to Pasa La Coma Girls camp were I use to go to camp every year and roasted hot dogs and let the kids play around. There is a creek there with a swing over it and the kids Trey had a blast on it. That night we decided to skip the crowds and do our own tiny firework show. It was a hit! It was relaxed and fun and we may just do it every year!

Boise

l


Nick and Ashley blessed their baby in Boise a couple of weeks ago so we were able to go to there and spend some time with them. My whole family was able to come so we got a few family pictures. Way difficult with that many kids. We had a great time together and the kids got along really well.
We stopped at Shoshone Falls on the way home. It was incredible the amount of water going over the falls. We were there last year around the same time and got pictures so here is so you can compare. The bottom one was last year.
