First day of school

It was the first day of school for Emma-and not only that-it was the first day of first grade! She is so excited to be back in school, and I am not so sure about this whole growing up thing! I am going to miss my Emma TONS when she is gone all day(and so is Maycee), but she is going to have a great school year. She has Mrs. Chandler this year and she seems to be an excellent teacher from what I have been told.




Maycee will start preschool in a couple of weeks at Miss Cynthia's. She is so excited! And then it's just me and Wyatt...Maybe I'll catch up on those scrapbooks...

Happy Anniversary!

It has been seven years since Brad and I got married. We celebrated by just going out to dinner. It has been an amazing seven years and it will be a great many more to come! Happy Anniversary Brad-love you!

2 Months Old!


So Wyatt is 2 months old now--can you believe it?? I can't, it feels like I haven't had time to even breath the last little while.

He gained 2 full inches in the circumfrence of his head (he's going to be a smarty pants!) He is 22 3/4 inches long(50%) and weighs 10 lbs 14 oz(25%-he's tall & skinny like his daddy!). He is a pretty good baby and we are so glad that he is a part of our family.

Cherry Hill

Last night for family night we all went to Cherry Hill (minus Brad). The girls love this tradition that Grandma and Grandpa Spencer started about 3 years ago. They take us all to Cherry Hill and we get KFC for dinner and let the girls play. They LOVE it!!!!!!!!!! It takes very strong convincing to get them out of the water, especially Emma. My dad asked her if she was growing webbed hands and she looks at her hands and as if expecting there to be webs between her fingers she replies that it's just a hair! She just goes and goes and goes and goes, and then she slept until 11:00 this morning!!!! She was one tired chicky!

Maycee isn't as "into" the water as Emma but she is getting better, she loves to just do her own thing in the pool.


Emma on the other hand loves to jump in and be thrown in and tipped over and whatever else, as long as it's in the water!


Alyssa was so darling in her little swim suit and sun hat. Jaclyn and I had gone earlier to the Gateway looking for Wyatt swim stuff and found this darling hat at Baby Gap and while it's way too big for her now we couldn't pass it up(especially since it was only $5 on clearance!)


Wyatt did have his swim trunks on and loves the water too. He slept most of the afternoon though.

It was so much fun and the kids loved it! Thanks Grandpa and Grandma!!!!

It has been CRAZY around here lately...

A week ago today Maycee ended up at Primary Children's because she was having problems breathing. She had woke up saying she didn't feel well and then went back to bed. When I checked on her I noticed that she was breathing really heavily so I watched her the rest of the afternoon, but then decided that it wasn't getting any better and before I spent the whole night making sure she was still breathing I took her to the doctor. When we got there they checked her oxygen saturation and it was VERY low and they couldn't hear any air movement in her lungs so they sent us to Primary's. We spent the next 5 1/2 hours in the ER at Primary's and then they finally admitted her to the RTU (rapid treatment unit) for overnight. The first night she dipped really low again and required oxygen so they decided to admit her to the medical unit for another night. All the while giving her breathing treatments every 2-4 hours. By Friday afternoon they decided that she was better enough to go home!!! That place is wonderful and it serves an amazing purpose for us here along the wasatch front, but I would rather not ever see the inside again! (unfortunately, it may be just the beginning of our trips there now!) And just in time for me to frantically clean my house and yard for Wyatt's baby blessing on Sunday. They actually diagnosed Maycee with Asthma. So I have to be 100% better at cleaning my house and keeping the dog away from her things and I have to wash everything in HOT water and she has to just have a close eye on her all the time because she won't tell me she can't breath, she just shruggs her shoulders when you ask her, that's my mayc!


We got everything ready and Wyatt was blessed in sacrament meeting on Sunday and everyone enjoyed the yummy food (thanks to mom for getting most of it ready! And Jaclyn for taking Emma and Wyatt for two days!) Wyatt was so handsome in his cute little tux!

What a party!

Wyatt and Alyssa, they were born two weeks apart
