fish ("ish") is one of emery's few words (others: mom, dad, yes, no, jesus, whoa, delicious) so she had a hay day when grandma terry took all of the kids to the aquarium this week. she just walked around saying "ish... ish... ish...." for the 1st 20 minutes. she loved it. thanks mom!
em loves grandma!
she made up her own sign for crab so she loved this crab!
with auntie amythis adorable little girl - that's what! crazy pigtails, messy face, i love my little rambunctious ragamuffin! being her mom is my dream come true.
messy pigtails.
cutest. face. ever.we're excited to announce baby wilkie #2! i'm due october 13th and am glad to be pulling out of the 1st trimester. this pregnancy has been way different than my 1st with Emery, so who knows - it may be a boy! :)
and i almost put a "floating embryo" pregnancy ticker, because as our friend janae said, "I noticed that many people have a floating embryo on their blog, so I wanted one too. Isn't that reason enough to get pregnant?" haha. she's hilarious. i chose one that didn't display the days prominently (that's a LOT of days) but the weeks instead - seems like much less time!
yes, we're alive! we've just been busy having fun (since Aaron finished the GMAT and we have a life again!). here's what we've been up to.
A climbing trip to St. George (Moe's Valley) with Aaron, Jenn and Tanner. We had fun climbing but I've never seen two kids have more fun playing in the dirt.
em was pretty happy about holding Tanner's hand on the way to the boulders
happy, dirty kids (examine closely for the dirt in their hair, etc.)
tanner and jenn
the dads and the kids
squirmy em and mom
sweet action shot - nice face aaron!
my little rock eater
cute family
dad helping emery slide on the snow - which she thought was the funniest thing EVER.we had a really fun valentines day weekend! my mom and dad came to town to see emery (and us too, i guess) and we had a blast! here are some pics!
ALSO - Aaron took the GMAT and got the score he needed to get into the school he wanted. as soon as we're sure he's in we'll reveal to the world where we're headed next! :) I'm so proud of him!
aren't my parents so cute? i love them. 
i also love emery's face when she ate creme brulee - haha.
pooped out.
cute emery after she woke up from a nap in her strollershe did it!!! she still has a way to go in terms of standing up on her own and walking all the time, but she's certainly capable!! and she's funny too. :)
my friend stacey h. did the cutest post on her blog, so i thought i'd do something similar. i haven't posted in a while so here is an update on our busy week.
aaron: tried to avoid studying for the inevitable GMAT he'll be taking on Valentine's Day (yes folks, we're THAT romantic!) but did catch up on his other homework, play with his girls and straightened up the house quite a bit, took britt to an accounting event for PwC, interviewed with PwC for their summer leadership program, worked, climbed, went to ward choir and surprised britt by shacking up with the tenors (i really thought he was a bass), made his wife a delicious "grand slam breakfast" at home when the wait at denny's for the free one was 2 hours (we called at 6:45 am)
emery: learned how to give high fives, pushed the stroller around the mall for almost an hour (someday she'll walk - promise!), got stomach flu and barfed on mommy and her dinner on top of still having her icky cold with cough and runny nose, wined a lot (because of sicknesses previously listed - i hope), may have said "more", took a few steps on her own between things, clapped her hands, stomped her feet and rolled her arms with the rest of the kids at toddler time at the library - and "shook her sillies out" too (too cute!), learned to play on The ABC Zoo on the computer and mimicked a bunch of different animal sounds
britt: fell in love with the buy low market (i love 2 lbs for $1 bell peppers), slacked off on early morning gym going (i was really tired this week!), worked through 100+ pages of historical essays and became a "footnote babysitter" to a couple of professional historians who apparently struggle with correct citation methods, took an hour and half nap one day instead of working (whoops!), ate a delicious 5-alarm cheeseburger and unlimited fries at red robin with aaron (mmmm.... drool...) and watched "The Court Jester" (thanks Mary and Barney!)
our grand slam breakfast
mr. clean
em loves food
another sweet buy low market purchase - a $5 blow up chair for emery. she loves it.
my two favorite people in the world
