Well it's time already to get Emma ready for preschool. It's just so crazy to me that my baby will be going to school. Russell didn't want her to go, he said that she could wait till she was four and just have on year of preschool. I think he just didn't want to face that Emma is getting so big. But I told him Emma needs to go to preschool and get some interaction and meet some friends so he agreed and now we are getting her ready! Here's some pics.


Here is the kids getting their hair cut. They both were very good. Gauge sat very still and it only took the kids like 4 min to finish. This is actually Gauge's very first Professional haircut. His dad usually just buzzes it. But he is getting to be a big boy now.

After haircuts we did a little walmart school shopping to tide us over till we could get up north or somewhere. Surprisingly there was a lot of cute things in the girls section. They have some cute brands at walmart now. But there wasn't much for Gauge in the toddler section. Oh well. Here is Emma modeling her new backpack. She is so excited for school!

It's funny how some days turn and take the completely opposite direction from what they started out to be.
Today I woke up and got ready and got the kids ready to go to church. We haven't been in a couple of weeks cause Russell and I are slackers. So I am running a little late but oh well, we get to the church and the place is packed. Up and down the street no place to park. So I am thinking to myself what is going on. There is only one ward in Helper and it has never been crowded when I have been there. Well just as I am trying to park people start pooring out of the place. Hmmm...well it turns out if I would have attended church in the previous weeks i would have been informed it was stake conference, and it was over. So what do I do, Emma was so excited to be going somewhere with other kids and to play in nursery. We rarely leave the house. So I called up Nils and we headed into Mcdonalds. That's right instead of taking my kids to church and introducing the spirit into there lives we went and ate chicken nuggets and played in the nasty play place. But oh well I tryed and the kids had fun. I will try harder next week to get us some gospel.

Anyone who wants to play...This is Fun!

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember--it can be funny, weird, awkward, random, etc.!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you.

Yesterday we loaded up the kids and met my whole family in Lagoon! Getting there was RUFFF!! We were running late, I forgot the camera's and we hit every road construction Possible the whole way! It sucked. But my loving husband couldn't stand to not have pictures of his kids first trip to Lagoon so when we stopped at Kmart in Payson to get Snacks He actually bought another Camera! And not some cheap camera and nice tiny Samsung. It's pink too! He's so funny! So now I have 2 very nice camera's.
Anywho the day turned out great once we got there and we had a lot of fun with my family, My mom couldn't make it cause she had hurt her neck, Poor mom missed out so I told her I'd post lots of pics for her to see! So here we go!

This is the kids heading into Lagoon, Gauge fell asleep in the car while we were searching for a parking spot and Emma is mad that she she can't go on one of the big rides with the older cousins. I have never been more thankful for my double stroller as I was at Lagoon!

The Pic above is of Emma and Russ on her First Ride. Man is she brave. This ride spun around super fast and it looked like the seats were gonna slam right into each other. Emma loved it tho and really wanted to go again.
The pic on the right is of Beautiful chubbby baby Hagen. The newest on the Judd side.

This is Emma and Gauge on Bulgy the whale. They were both kind of bored but it was a nice starting off ride.
Apparently Gauge wasn't to impressed with this ride either. He is to hard core for kiddie helicopters.
Here's Daddy and Gaugey hanging out while they watch Emma and Mom go on a ride.

This is Emma and me on the Ladybug bop. It's the kiddieland verson of the bigshot and for some reason it scared the crap out of me. Emma loved it tho and went again with my sister.
This is my Dad and Sister waiting in the shade for the rest of our group. Don't I have a good looking family!
This is Rattlesnake Rapids, This was Emma's favorite ride, she went 5x in a row. Finally it was to dark and they made the rest of us get off so they could close the ride. Emma was soaked and we had to strip her down and go buy a towel for her.
Gauge was pretty ticked off that he couldn't go on the rapids with everyone, He was even more ticked off that I restrained him to his stroller. But if you know Gauge it's to hard to let him down to run around.
Here's the kids about 5 minutes after the rapids. They were wiped out. So everyone took turns watching them while the others hit a few more grown up rides before the park closed. I had so much fun! The scariest ride was Wicked, which should be illegal, but I made it thru without even wetting my pants once. After Rattlesnake rapids I walked around feeling like I had wet my pants tho. Anywho It was an awesome day. I saved the best for last. My crazy husband, brother-in-law and sister who decided to face death and go on the SkyCoaster, That huge arch that pulls you, only in a harness connected to a cable, up to the top then releases you to swing clear down over the entire park. Can you say scary! But they lived and they all loved it. So everyone had fun and it was a great day!

I have been waiting a Year for Breaking Dawn! A Year! I pre-ordered it from Amazon as soon as I could. I am so excited for it. And what do I get, It has been out for 2 days and they still haven't even shipped the Dang thing! AAAAHHHHHH I am so angry. I don't know what is keeping me from going to the store right now and buying another copy. Ugg... anyway if anyone has read it, tell me how you are liking it.
