Emerson is 1 year old

Emerson is a year old!  I cannot believe how fast this year has gone by.  Here are a few of his latest tricks:

• walking at 11 months old
• words include mama, dada, aba (Ava), hello, bye bye
• he loves his siblings and wants to do everything they do
• trying to run after his brothers
• sweet baby who loves snuggles from all
• he climbs everywhere!  tables, chairs, into the dryer, etc.
• he throws fits already!  much to my dismay!  I don't know where he picked that up?

Overall, Emerson has been a joy to have in our family.  He has been such a good baby and sleeps through the night!  I love that!  We love our "brother baby" and don't know what we would do without him!

Happy 1st Birthday Emerson!

Open spaces to sit in!

Birthday cupcake and ice cream!  He wore the hat for quite awhile!

Not as messy as anticipated!

Phone pics of the latest happenings!

Emerson loves phones of all kind!  He especially enjoys my phone!

Game face!  Indoor fall soccer!  Dallin thought playing inside was hilarious and so cool!

Sweet "twin" girls!  Clara and Ava constantly ask for matching hair and outfits!

Bennett boy!  Enough said.

I ordered these cute slippers for Christmas.  The tile floor are beautiful but FREEZING!

Walking boy!

Emerson decided that he wanted to walk a lot sooner than his mom was ready for.  He took his first steps around Christmas and by New Years he was everywhere!  He now walks REALLY fast and can reach and climb anything!  He is so proud of himself and often claps for himself when he walks around the house.  We love our sweet walking boy!

Christmas catch up

Dallin and Clara had an adorable preschool concert right before the holidays.  They each sang two songs with their classes and here are my favorites!

Must Be Santa - Dallin


Christmas Lights - Clara



We had a great Christmas filled with 5 little excited babies and more than enough goodies.  Granee, Auntie Helen and Uncle Taylor came to celebrate with us.  We hope your holidays were as great as ours!

Seeing double?

I have been seeing Dallin's "second" twin as I have been taking pictures of Emerson.  The similarities are uncanny!  Here are a few of my favorites of both babes!

Who am I?

Same face on both!

Big boy!

Brotherly love!
