FIRE!

okay so it was nothing big...but there were flames. I was cooking some meat in a big stock pot and some water boiled over...usually this is no big deal but for some reason it ignited a fire and it wouldn't go out! Why we didn't think of smothering it with salt I don't know...logical thought just wasn't happening. Being an electrical stove/oven, we didn't know if water would be a good idea but eventually got out the squirt bottle and gave it a good spray. The big burner is pretty much done in and unusable. The thing that plugs into the electrical thingy (cool technical words) is charred and the two parts don't fit it eachother now. I'm afraid to cook on the other three now. Maybe we'll get a new oven out of the event...and I was just getting used to the 70's yellow and starting to actually grow fond of it.

New Mom Syndrome

So there it is folks...it's gone...it's all gone...and I love it! It takes about ten minutes to do and Emmie cant spit up in it!

I'm feeling kind of weird about posting a picture of just me...but whatever...

Yummy Toys

Emmie has just discovered toys...and how good they taste!

notice the onsie is a drum set that says "2007 Drool Squad"...just for her daddy...

Our little Glo Worm

Do you remember the Glo Worm Doll? I had one when I was a kid and loved it. When I went to go get Emmie out of bed this morning she was still all swaddled up and looked just like my old Glo Worm doll. Not only did I have to get a picture because she is just so darn cute...It was also a monumental night. For the first time in 3 months she did not sleep in her papsan chair! We were washing it and it's wasn't dry in time for bed...I was a little worried but she pulled through without putting up much of a fight! I felt pretty proud of her!

Digital Scrapbooking...a new hobby

I've been wanting to scrapbook more for the longest time but between the cost of it and the huge amount of time it takes I kept putting it on the back burner. Well Ceri and I recently discovered the beauty and ease of Digital scrapbooking. It's taken us a little bit to figure out photoshop...but once we did the sky's the limit! Here are some pages I did over winter break:

a little house cleaning...

I took so many pictures over winter break! I wanted to blog about each of them but now there's not time...so I just made a slide show out of some of the pictures. Some of the pictures are from New Years with the Bennett family, Dinner with my good friend Amy Gray and her husband, Nathan, and My cousin, Chris Tenney's wedding reception. While we were in Saint David for the reception we stopped and saw Kartchner Caverns. All in all it was a great Winter break filled with fun family outings.

Three Months and Teething

On MondayEmmie hits the 3 month mark and she's already teething!!! I was in denial for a little bit and didn't want to believe that all the drooling and fist chewing was because she was teething...but today I saw them...two little teeth buds on the bottom middle. They haven't broken through yet but it's just a matter of days. My little girl is growing up way too quick! Every day she surprises us!
