Longest Post Ever

I am going to try and do this in order. We have 2 months of catching up to do so grab some popcorn and a drink...this might take a while!

Cornmaze

The first weekend in October We took EmmaLyn to the corn maze! We went with Scotts sister Michelle and Brian and their kids. As you can tell EmmaLyn was really enjoying it!

Disneyland and turning 3 months!

Then we took her to Disneyland on her 3 month birthday! We went with Scotts sister Michelle and her family and also my sister Lacie came with us! It was such a blast and I can't wait to take EmmaLyn when she will actually know whats going on. She loved all the rides we took her on and didn't cry on any of them! In fact she was crying before we took her on the tea cups (don't worry we didn't spin) and when they started she stopped crying and started smiling again until they were over! I also made her a little Minnie Mouse outfit since it was close to Halloween and she got her picture taken with Minnie! It was so much fun!

waiting for the shuttle!

The Beach

We went to the Beach. It was really really cold and EmmaLyn didn't really like being there. Her and Dad chased some birds for a while, she cried for a while, and then she fell asleep for a while. 

Grandpas Birthday, Suns, and Grinch

We got home from Disneyland on Tuesday and headed back down to the valley on Friday for my Grandpas birthday, the Phoenix Suns game, and to see How the Grinch Stole Christmas at Gammage.

My baby turns 4 months old!

Thanksgiving at The Mills House

Lacie went with us because she had to work the next day

EmmaLyns first taste of something besides milk (mashed potatoes). She wasn't sure what to think!

 Reece's Pieces and Craft Fair

I have started my own little business called Reece's Pieces. (Check out my blog shericespieces.blogspot.com or I have a button on this one you can click on.) If you like my stuff be sure to spread the word! I love making things and I love that people like them as well! It is so much fun and it's my "me" time! I did a craft fair this past weekend and it went AWESOME! I did better then I could've ever imagined and I got a lot of custom orders which really are my favorites! Here are just a few things I sold!

These are Pacifier Holders....

and here are some for the boys too!

EmmaLyn's adventure with rice cereal!

We gave EmmaLyn some rice cereal to try and get her to sleep through the night a little better. I don't think she likes it too much but see what you think!

5 months

I can't believe it this is my last post....AND my baby is now 5 months old. She weighs 11 pounds and is 26 inches long. She is still wearing some newborn clothes and some 0-3 month clothes (but the pants are all super baggy on her teeny tiny legs, that she did not get from her mom!) She just looked so big on Monday as I was taking a few pictures of her! I just love her so much and she brings so much fun and joy into my life! What a blessing she truly is! Btw I took these with my phone so the quality is not good! Sorry!

What we've been up to

Well it's been crazy trying to get all packed and moved but its over now so I have a moment to sit down and relax and catch everyone up on our lives! I've been kind of stressed out lately and it's crazy how many emotions come to the surface that I've been ignoring. Thoughts of my new body, and sadness of leaving a house that I've turned into our home, getting rid of clothes that I have become "attached" to (sounds funny but I seriously cried for about an hour), and just thoughts of how quickly my life has changed. It has been a good change but just so fast! I have lived and worked in Mesa for 3 years, got married a year ago, got pregnant 3 months later, had my baby in July and all of a sudden we decided to up and move about a month ago! I've never been good with change but I'm learning a lot from all of it going on! I've learned that my husband will love me even if I don't have the same body I did prior to being pregnant, and I need to learn to just love myself. I had a baby 3 months ago and everyday when I look at her I know that what it did to me was worth it and I would do it a million times over to have her in my life! She is so important to me and much more important then looking "skinny"! I love my house in Queen Creek and over the past year I have worked to make it our home and we have become so comfortable there. I loved everything about our house and I was trying to think of some way to just pack it up along with all our things and bring it with us! Scott then reminded me that we can make home anywhere and it will be even better being up in the mountains! And of course he was right! Now last are my clothes. I admitted to Scott that I think I am a clothes horder. I love my clothes...even the ones that are 3 years old, even the ones that I never wear! I find comfort in clothes and shoes. I find happiness in them. I realize that clothes are just so temporary! I had a period where I wore short shorts and I loved them! Giving them up was really hard for me but I now see that giving up little things like that (including my body) will lead to MORE happiness then we can ever know in the long run! I'm crazy I know! But I have such an awesome husband who helps me realize everything will be ok when I freak out over and over again! Thanks Scott...I love you! Ok now for the pictures...Here are some of EmmaLyn in her Bumbo for the first time, EmmaLyn in the pool sunbathing and relaxing, and a few of my crafts I've been doing incuding EmmaLyns halloween costume. I tried rotating the pics and some of them work and some didn't...sorry~

The big news!

Well we have decided to move up to Pinetop/Snowflake (wherever we can find a house.) We are so excited to be back "home"! Scott is going to be buying his parents flooring store (High Country Flooring) and is working on some other things as well. We feel like this is what we should do and where we need to be! We will be moving up in October....SO SOON! So we are frantically house hunting if anyone knows of anything. Once again we are just so excited to be close to our parents and a few of Scotts siblings! I am very excited to play in all the volleyball leagues up here and I can't wait for them to start!! And that is our big news!

EmmaLyn's blessing

Here are some pictures from EmmaLyn's blessing. We blessed her on September 5th 2010. Thank you to everyone who came and supported us during this big event in our lives. We are so blessed to have such a beautiful baby girl! I love being a mommy!

24th celebration, Bath time, and 1st trip to church

The bottom Pictures are her first trip to Snowflake for the 24th of July Celebrations. She slept through the entire parade even with the loud sirens going off! She's such a good baby. The middle pictures are of her bath time. We give her a bath every night around the same time to try and help get her on a schedule. She loves her bath and never cries! The top pictures are her first trip to church. We got her a super cute dress at Macy's and I couldn't help but take more pictures of her! She loves having her head rubbed just like her Mom and she was making the funniest faces when Scott was rubbing her head! I just can't get enough of this little BEAUTIFUL girl!
