My little nursemaid

So, Memorial Day weekend could have been better to say the least. Tyler was out of town on a fishing trip with his brother, and Emma and I were ready for a day of shopping. Instead, I spent most of my day near my good friend John. It was one of the worst episodes of the stomach flu I've ever had, and at the end of the day I ended up on an IV at the emergency room. But the bright spot in this whole awful day was Emma. I swear kids can sense and understand more than we think they can. All day she played so nicely by herself. She never acted up. And she took a 31/2 hour nap! Every time I ran to the toilet, she would follow me. She would pat my back as I emptied the contents of my stomach. Then she'd hug my arm, look down and say "Yucky." She took good care of me in Tyler's absence. I'm so grateful for her. She always brings a smile to my face and joy to my life. She is growing up so fast! I love her developing personality and her ability to show love. I can't imagine what life was like before she came along. What a blessing it is to be her mother. She is so special. And I think she'll make a great big sister.

Dinosaur Park

Yesterday we went to the dinosaur park in Ogden. It was so much fun! They have so much for the kids to do and to look at. And anytime Emma is with her cousins, she is happy as can be. Grandma and Grandpa came too. Even Great Grandma Hanson and my cousin Nikki were able to come. And being in Ogden we couldn't miss a chance to go to The Greenery for lunch. I just LOVE those mormon muffins!

They had swings and slides and several play areas.

Grandpa looks cute, doesn't he?

Exciting!

To you this may just look like a mound of dirt, and a slab of cement. But to me I see my future home! Tyler has started building our house in Riverton. We are so excited ! The foundation has been laid, and it is official! And if any of you know anyone who wants a cute townhouse in West Jordan, send them my way!
