Pretty Pepper

This is Pepper! She's our new bunny and Emerys Christmas present this year. She's only about 6 weeks old and is the sweetest thing.

We love her

Isn't she pretty??


We got her from my brother and sister in law. Their bunny had bunnies and just keeps on having them...so...if any of you are interested in taking one of them home let me know!

Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!!

Guess What?!


Emery is napping and I'm sitting here checking out all the cool things we're going to do on our

CRUISE to the CARIBBEAN
(in 11 days)

and this is how i feel about it....



with a little bit of this...



and a splash of this...



yes, a big thanks to

Solar Electric Systems and Products Inc.
(look them up)

for sponsoring the get away for their employees and spouses!

Morgan and I have never been on a cruise (or to Florida for that matter) so we're very excited!!


**But on a more serious note....
we've also never been away from Emery for more than a few hours...and now we'll be leaving her for 6 nights...
and that makes me...

a little sick to my stomach.


So...I've been told that feeling goes away eventually...oh wait! Look who woke up!


I guess I'll just have to squeeze her like this till then!

I Laughed...

Last night the three of us were hanging out in front of the Christmas tree...
Morgan and I were chatting about our days and solving the mysteries of the universe while Emery was doing this.....

(In case you're wondering...that is the plastic thing that comes in the packages of wrapping paper...you know the thing that holds the sticky bows and stuff?)


And this is what happened when I took it away....


Good thing she got over it... :)

Merry Early Christmas To Us!

We took a quick trip up the mountain to Show Low this weekend to see my sweet sister and her family as well as to pick up our Christmas gift to ourselves!

And here it is!

My brother in laws uncle is an antiquer and made this cabinet for us to put all of our tv stuff and Ems toys in! I'm thrilled with it!
The inside panels are made of old ceiling tins...very cool...and they make an even cooler sound when Emery bangs on them....over and over again. :)

So while we were there we had my sister take some pictures of our little family all bundled up in the snow! (thank you Annie!) I think they turned out pretty cute...


Aw...she loves us...

Especially her dad...







Special thanks to these cute boys (plus one more) for being so sweet and playing with Emery all weekend!!

We love you ALL and can't wait to see you this weekend!

Emery LOVES Her Cousins

Emery LOVES Olivia

Emery LOVES giving kisses! Especially to Isabella..

Emery LOVES looking so dang sweet....all the time.

Emery LOVES to play with the big kids! The look on her face in this picture is
PRICELESS

As well as this one...

Lately Emery LOVES to say:

"Whoa"
(whenever she sees something she likes)

"No, No, No"
(while shaking her finger)

"Gog"
(dog, everything is a dog)

"Disssth"
(this, when she wants to show me something)

And we LOVE Emery!! Yay!!

Starting Over!

So here's our new blog! I'm really excited actually about being private now....I don't feel like I have to worry as much about random people checking us out...ya know?
(the creepy random kind because I'm definitely a random reader of other peoples blogs)
So looks for lots of new posts to come!

BAJA 1000 by Morgan


So I'm a long time reader first time blogger and I thought that I would feel weird...but I don't. Jake Matt and myself, Morgan the now blogger, drove the 9 hours to Ensenada Mexico and witnessed unspeakable joy! The BAJA mil (one-thousand in english means mil in spanish) was absolutely worth risking swine flu and confronting drug lords for. I will bring wife and em next time...yes friends, there will be a next time and another next time....good times.

Rediculo!!!!
(ridiculous in english means Rediculo in spanish)

I asked the head police officer if he would let me ride around the Red Bull jump with my r/c truck and he agreed! After an incredible display of the little guy I asked him if we could go stand with the media guys by the fence (which was otherwise off limits ) and again he agreed!! As you can see there is about 6000 people around the jump and only about 15 had access to the media area, NBC, OFF Road Magazine, Outdoor World, some privateers and US it was unreal. Look for us on youtube and let me know if you can find us in action!

That would be me Matt and Jake enjoying our front row seats

p.s. I would like to give a shout out to my lovely wife for putting up with my absence and to Maren for letting us borrow her CRV.......which was de masculinizing at best but well worth the 25 mpg

Well dang...it looks like the weirdos found us...we got a questionable comment on this last post and i guess its what i needed to finally make the decision to go ahead and make our blog private...so you know the drill, if you would like to know what is going on in our oh-so-exciting lives please leave your email address before December 1st and we'll be happy to share!!

her highchair up to the keys and let her play her little heart out :)

Lefty or Righty?

So about a week or so ago I noticed that whenever Emery would get a hold of a pen or highlighter or marker...pretty much anything that you can write with, she'd hold it in her little fingers like a pencil and try to draw with it. So today I went to Target and got her some fat washable crayons and let her go to town!


I'd say she's got pretty good form for a one year old!



The finished product!

Yes, I immediately hung it on our fridge :)

ps. i have to say i was so impressed with emery...she didn't try to eat the crayons, not once!

We Love Show Low

We headed up the mountain this weekend to get out of here and take my sisters family pictures...





We really couldn't have asked for better weather, scenery, and company!
We love you Lewis'!!

Emery turned ONE!!

One year ago on the 10th....
Emery came into this world and changed ours forever! We could not have asked for a sweeter
baby... We sure do love this girl








Emery had a plethora of cousins to help open presents...thank you!

Where Did September Go?

So to say life has been busy would be an understatement...Here's a snapshot of whats going on with the Pews..

Morgan...work, home, school, softball, home, work, school, softball, home

Lauren...school, emery, laundry, dinner, emery, school, emery, laundry, dinner, emery

Emery....eat, sleep, play






Morgan did take time however to teach Em how to play the drums...we think she's a natural...



And Sunday afternoon naps are a must....aren't they sweet...





But my favorite happening so far has been this weather!! We planted flowers over the weekend and had the doors and windows open all day...I'm pretty sure that it doesn't get a whole lot better than this...








I love my life
