Emma Rose Turns 8!

 Yesterday Emma turned 8 yrs old! Boy have the years gone by fast! My mom came and took her out to lunch and did a little shoe shopping. They had a great time out.

She requested chicken pot pie for her birthday dinner and we had my mom and brother Joshua over to help celebrate her day.

 It is our family tradition to get the kids their very own set of scriptures for their 8th birthday and she was super excited to receive her own set with a purple case to go with them.

 My mom made her a butterfly cake with Jelly Bellies.

She is super excited about her baptism next weekend. Her friend Ivan will be getting baptized the same day and we have family coming into town to celebrate with us. Just hoping little Jane doesn't decide to crash the party that day with her arrival. :)

Baby Shower!

 Some awesome friends from our church had a double baby shower for my friend and neighbor Allira and I. Allira is due 1 week before me (lucky her!). She is having a boy and I'm having a girl.

 We had such a fun time playing games and visiting with all our friends! My mom made a cake that was so good!

We both got some cute clothes for our little ones and some yummy chocolate! Having the shower has got me all excited about meeting our little Jane! Only three more weeks till my due date! It's all going to go by so fast!

Fishing

 We took the kids fishing this morning for the 1st time. One of the local parks was having a big kids fishing event and we decided to try it out. I was pretty worried when we got to the pond and saw how many people were around the pond fishing. There we A LOT of people there! Emma was the 1st to catch a fish and she was sooooo excited! The look on her face was priceless!

 Daniel caught a fish and lost it as we were trying to get it in the bag. But he took it well and cast out and caught another fish right away.

Noah was the lucky one and caught 2 fish pretty quick! You can kinda see in the back ground all the people surrounding this pond. There were several times where the kid's lines got tangled up with others, but it wasn't to bad. I think we will be going back to this pond soon to fish. Thank goodness for Kendall who is willing to gut the fish, cause right now I'm a little squeamish about that kind of thing! The fish are on the grill being cooked up for lunch. Fun times!
