EMORY'S BLESSING DAY

This past Sunday was Emory's blessing day...and Mother's Day so it was extra special. Morgan did a great job blessing her in our ward and we had a bunch of family there to be a part of it. Morgan's parents were also in town! Afterwards we had lunch at our house. 

Emory looked beautiful wearing the dress that her Great Grandfather wore and her Nana, and Morgan, and Savannah just to name a few. 

After the blessing, the primary children in our ward sang "Love is Spoken Here". We were so excited because that is our "family" song and they did such a beautiful job! Savannah was especially excited because it's one of the few songs she knows all of the words to (including the ABC's, I am a child of God, and the Barney song as well as a couple of Yo Gabba Gabba songs). 

One word to sum up that day: SPECIAL!

BACK TO CHURCH

This past Sunday was my firstt Sunday back at church after 6 weeks. Emory made her debut in Savannah's hand-me-downs bought by Morgan back in the day. Adorbs. 

Gosh this picture. She looks like Savannah when she was a baby. Twins I tell ya. 

All three hours. I was exhausted. Not gonna lie.

And kiss attacks from her big sissy. She kisses her every chance she gets.
Overall, I would say my first Sunday with two kids was a success! Holla!

MY OLDEST

Savannah has been such a dream. She has been talking so much these days and saying the funniest things. Just the other day my sister Lauren was over and she was saying Savannah, you are my niece and Emory is my niece too! and Sav got this confused look on her face and then said These are my knees... while patting her knees. 

Also, when she is really happy she yells BEST DAY EVER! 

This girl loves to get her nails painted. She holds super still for 30 minutes not to mess up her nails and blows them gently to dry them (so cute). 

She looooves dress up. Skirts and dresses all day every day (even to bed sometimes). She even likes to wear my clothes, like my sweater above, and Morgan's clothes. 

And she LOVES her baby sister. She kisses her all the time and says in her little baby voice She's so cute! and It's okay Emory, It's okay sweetheart! whenever Emory cries. Melts my heart every time.

She also has been such a great helper. She hands me wipes, throws away diapers, and can get dressed all by herself (shoes and socks and all). She even unloads all the utensils in the dishwasher for me when they are clean and sometimes when they are still dirty (oops! we're working on it). 

MY SNUGGLE BUG

I swear sleep positions are genetic because that is the EXACT position I like to sleep in too.
yum. 

GIRLS NIGHT OUT

The other night Savannah and I went out with my sister Dayna and little Jayne for some girl time. We got desserts at Sweet Tooth Fairy and then went to the Covey Center for Disney's Little Mermaid. The show was made up of all kid actors and I was pleasantly surprised at how talented the kids were. Savannah had such a blast. It was magical for her. She kept clapping and yelling Good job guys! to the kids on stage. She was so giddy all night, I loved it. 

Oh and she's been on this kick about wearing skirts. All she wants to wear are skirts and dresses! I think it stems from Jayne and her friend Ellie who wear skirts all the time. She was so excited to wear her tutu out on our girls night, how could I say no? A lady at the covey center asked her old she was and she said I'm two and I'm wearing a skirt! Oh geeze. 

gotta have her blankie with her. always. 

The next night I asked her how her night was last night and she said... Perfect. :) Love her so much. 

LEESYLOO

Savannah had such a great time this last week spending time with her Aunts and Uncles especially her Aunt Elyse (or LeesyLoo as we sometimes call her). Savannah loves that girl. Every morning she would ask to see Elyse and would always want her to hold her instead of me. And really I'm not surprised because Elyse is so loving and fun with her. She's the best!

We can't wait to see Elyse again this Summer!

EASTER AT THE CABIN

"EATHSTER EEEEEEGGGG!" 

This Easter Sunday was spent hunting around for eggs at the cabin my parents rented in park city, lounging around in our PJs...

...oh and snuggling babies.
