Great Grandpa King

Your Great Grandpa King passed away.  L and E, neither of you will remember him but he thought you were both pretty special kiddos.  I have memories of him hold Levi when he was a wee babe and could tell he was so proud.  I also remember when he met Emma and how he was really trying to talk to Levi that day.  Your Daddy can tell you all about him someday.  (Thanks Unc Jeff and Nicole for sharing photos.)

You laid two roses down for you and your sleeping sister (the others were placed by your Daddy, Uncle Jeff and Uncle Dan and your cousins).

You were telling your Great Uncle Howard a good story.

The below picture was taken just before L fell and bloodied his nose.  So sad, but he was up ready to go in just a few minutes.

You sure looked cute in your jacket...and you sure enjoyed all those cookies.

You, sweet girl, are such a delight.

3 months

Our little sweetie is 3 months old. The days go by so fast I cannot keep up with much.

We all 4. had colds at the same time yet we survived...God's grace is a beautiful thing.

Big brother is still the best playmate...at least he thinks so, not sure Emma would always agree. :)

She is laughing and talking and so happy and easy, most of the time. We have our moments.

Christmas Festivities

We stayed close to home but were still traveling for Christmas...here you two are ready to hit the road.

First stop, Noni's and Grandpa Dave's!

Baby's First Christmas 

Tickle time!

Favorite book ever.

Sweet girl.

Touchdown Trojans!

I got some new socks.

And, a cool truck.

 Then, off to the desert...

Look at these trucks!

Nate Nate is a good buddy to you. 

Breakfast with Aunt KayKay and Baby Brad

Christmas Baby

Happy Boy!

 And, back to MV to celebrate Daddy's birthday!  P and G got to be there with us.

Blessed beyond measure.

The book.

This was at Aunt Dayna's...C and A helped make her stocking. :)

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!

Christmas Activities

 You and your Mama made Christmas cookies.  Your favorite part was eating the dough.

You and your Daddy made a gingerbread house.  Your favorite part was snitching the candy.

We like doing fun things with you.  Emma-girl, we will catch you next year on these fun things...you were too busy sleeping this year.

Going to the beach

It was a little chilly as we were heading to the beach so the warm hats were necessary...for about 3 minutes.

Two months

Our happy-smiley-giggly-great sleeper-precious two month old weighs 11 pounds 1ounce.

She is seriously so happy. I love how her little eyes smile when her mouth smiles.

Her big brother thinks she's pretty great, too.

First bath

Yes, at almost 2 months. :/. She's had several wipe downs until now. She loved it...just kicked her feet and giggled the whole time. We are so blessed by her sweet little spirit.
