A day at the zoo!

The kids and I just returned home this morning from a fun trip down to Ajo for 4 days with Colleen and her girls. I am on a month break from school right now so we thought we would take advantage of this opportunity to go play and have fun. We had so much fun planning for Christmas and putting up the decorations, visiting, eating, watching movies, reading books and just relaxing!! It was also fun to go running with Julianne a few times. I need to do that more often. Emma loved being with her cousins and brothers even though she didn't act like it towards the end. She is starting her terrible two's and I think my mom and Julianne are scared for us to come back for Christmas!haha It will definitely be crazy for Christmas but we are so excited!! Thanks mom for a great week!

When we walked in the door. There was a bag full of gifts from Dad Wilcock who just returned home from China after being there for 2 weeks. Jesse's dad along with several others were invited to go there to help improve China's water system. What an honor and privelage to be picked. Dad was so nice to bring back some very beautiful gifts for the kids and us. He brought the most beautiful little dress for Emma, and of course she had to put it on right away. I had to take pictures to show. She looks so cute!! Thank you dad!

The following pictures were taken these these past two months.

Tagged

Yup, I got tagged. It was actually awhile ago and I finally got around to doing it, sorry Carol. This is a picture of Emma wrapped up like a little burrito just a few days after she was born. It's hard to believe that was 2 years ago. It's amazing how much she has changed in such a short amount of time. They grow up way too fast!! Emma has brought so much joy to our lives. She makes me laugh every day at the silly things she says and does. It was so cute to have her fall asleep in my arms the other day for her afternoon nap. That doesn't happen very often anymore as Elias occupies much of my time. Emma left early this morning with Jesse as she will be staying at her Aunt Janna's for the weekend and I am missing her so much already! Emma is so good to say "Thank you, Mommy!" after every little thing I do for her, and it melts my heart each time I hear it. What a sweetheart!

Well, I am now tagging Dayna, Kelsey & Sarah! (open your picture folder, click on the 4th folder and then the 4th picture and write about it). Have fun, I did!
