Emmett's Special Day

Two Sundays ago, on the 14th we were able to have our loved ones around for the blessing of baby Emmett. It is days like these that help us realize how blessed we are. Such loving supportive friends and family, a healthy baby, strong testimonies and lots of love. We blessed him in our ward building and them came back home for homemade Cafe Rio Salads and Costco cake.

Can you believe this is my family?

Since Doug has lost over 100lbs his old wedding suit doesn't fit anymore. Onto Burlington Coat factory for a new one. When he put it on at the store I got some butterflies in my stomache...holy smokes...look at my man!! He is so handsome and adorable...inside and out! Hot stuff...
More than that he is a worthy priesthood holder that is leading this family in righteousness. Even more hotter!
Point being....I love him

The Blessing said-
Family is happy to  have you here in our home
Bless that you will fit in with our family
Supposed to be here
That he will love life
Strong force for good
Progress through the priesthood
Have a strong testimony
Magnify callings
Go on a mission and a desire to serve
Find a spouse with the same likes and go through the temple
For time and eternity
Kind and loving to those around

We are so blessed to have this last little addition to our family I know he is meant to be here with us.

One month old

 That was such a fast month! Sweet Emmett turned 1 Month old yesterday. Towards the end of my pregnancy, that last month was the slowest month, and since he came to earth this month is the fastest month ever. Little guy is such a good baby and wakes up 2 times a night, his eyes are starting to focus more on you and today I got a sweet half smile.

Emmett is ADORED  by  his brothers. It is hard for me to have them keep their hands off of him. They want to "Pet" him all day long. And they don't want to wash their hands before they touch him. Clark wants to know if he's awake or asleep, how he is eating, if he is poopy, you get the idea. They are constantly wanting to be by him. It's sweet and enduring, but tiresome and overwhelming at the same time.
Here are some pictures of the boys, LOVING his brothers...

 Here's the sweetie pie...

 

Here are some I-phone Pics....Doug took the kids camping and boating for 4 days. What a guy...I'm so grateful for him. I stayed home with Mr. Emmett and went to dinner, slept in, went shopping, and got a pedicure! Heaven...

With our ONE BABY we have done quite a bit these past few weeks. Doug and I went to the movies with little guy. He did great! I nursed for the first time in public and he did awesome.

I also took all my 5 kids to Target by myself the other day, and we did so good until the last 5 minutes and Clark had a meltdown. Sad...poor 3 year olds. I also took the girls on a Mommy date to paint pottery with Emmett. The girls were in heaven and loved the individual attention.
