HELLO!

Crib Time

Last night was the first time Emery slept in her crib in her room. Emery has always (I'm not exaggerating) slept through the night. So I gave her three months to change her mind about that and nothing has changed so she will now be sleeping in her room.


She is so little and it just looks so funny to me to see that tiny baby in that big crib.

Dad and Ainsley's Birthday Party

All dressed up.

Roooaaaarrrrr I'm a Dragon !!!!!!

Yes she was that dramatic, all weekend long.

The poor big kids must have been bored so they made some hats.

I LOVE my Grammy she is always so much fun.

Grandma and Papa win the favorite present award this year.

The second sleeping beauty cake.

Ash Ash Came to play Saturday.

We love to see Ashlynn and we always have so much fun with her.

The Layton family's turtle Dalila.

I think Emery looks like baby MoMo in this one.

I just love that turtle.

What Do You Think?

I got my plaques with the kids hand and foot prints that Jeff had done for me as an anniversary gift.
This is were I put them. What do you think, is it a good spot for them?

Bless and Release

There was this speaker named Amanda Dickson at Time out this weekend. Let me just say she was awesome, So funny. If I learned anything this weekend it would be to bless and release. At some point in every day you need to just let it all go. Anything on your shoulders, just let it go. your kids are the spawn of the devil? just let it go. Your husband didn't tell you you're just as skinny as the day you met this morning? just let it go. Your sister went to bed sick when you came to see her for the weekend? Just let it go. Your afraid the sister that some how got left out of the time out weekend is going to kick your ass for it, JuJuJussst llleeet it gggo.
The whole bless and release thing gets that much better when you do the hand motions. I will have to post a video clip of me doing it some time. Shari Dew, Virginia Hinkley Pearce, Wendy Watson-Nelson, and Laurel Christensen are just some of the amazing women that we had the privilege to her speak this weekend.

This is us missing Jenn.

this is Emery and the new addition to the Layton family Dalila.

Happy Birthday Dad

I don't know which sister said it but you have only gotten better with age.

Happy Birthday Papa

Thank you Papa for letting me be special and sharing your day with me.

Love Ainsley

Happy Birthday Ainsley

My dear Ainsley I have enjoyed every minute of the time that we have had since Jackson started school. It has been such a wonderful gift to to have this time together. You are so funny and fun you make me laugh so hard sometimes that my sides hurt.

I know that everyone thinks that they have the most beautiful baby, but they can't cause I did and you just get more beautiful everyday.

Your strong will and determination has been hard for us at times, but it will be a wonderful attribute for you to have as an adult; that is if we don't ring your neck for it first.

My sweet blue eyed girl, you are a light in my life that I look forward to seeing everyday. If I ever question my purpose on this earth all I have to do is take you in my arms, hold you close and smell your hair to know I am here for you and you are here for me. Being your mommy means more to me than anything and you and your brother and sister are the greatest blessing I have ever had.
I can't wait to see what the next year will bring for you and all the new adventures we will have.
