Family Pictures & Merry Christmas

Well once again, i am finally making some time to blog an update of our life. Things are going good. We are getting excited for Christmas, we are ready and can't wait. Emree keeps trying to unwrap the presents she can reach and loves to pull the red ornaments off the tree. She is so much fun i just want to freeze her at this stage. I love all the new tricks she is doing, like the newest one is singing "once there was a snowman" with me. She puts her hands high in the air and makes some loud noise for one whole breath. It is pretty funny. She loves to walk around the house with her little push walker thing. She gets going so fast and then rams the tree. She loves to feed herself and i am not sure if i like it or not it is such a mess but very entertaining to watch her do it. Emree loves watching tv, and gets so excited when she sees the little caterpiller from baby ein. come on the screen. The other night i rented UP and i turned it on and for the first ten minutes of the show she giggled and loved it so we laid her pillow done and we all snuggled up on the floor and watched the show it was pretty fun. She still loves her daddy, he has been pretty busy doing his parents house and with work, so we both love when we get to spend some time with him. Every morning and nap i wake up to daddadada, and wonder why am i the one getting her:) jk it is cute. My favorite is the clapping, she claps everytime i sing or dance or doing anything for her. She is my little cheerleader/biggest fan. As you can tell we love our little Ems and love watching her grow. It is crazy how fast it is flying by.



We finally got some family pictures done. Candis my cousin took them last weekend and they turned out pretty good considering that Emree was not very excited about it. She didn't like sitting on our laps and smiling she wanted to be all alone. As you can see she picked her nose for us and clapped through most of them because i was trying to make her smile and dancing behind Candis. It was a workout. It is crazy i look at the picture and think wow i can't believe this is my little family, pretty cool!
I better be done, we are on our way to go pick up Elder Derek Hanks( travs little brother) from the airport. He has been serving in Bolivia and we are so excited to see him!! Trav has been going crazy! Hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas and happy holiday's. Remember the reason for the season, we are so grateful for our Savior and his birth and life. If it wasn't for him I wouldn't be able to be with my cute little family forever. All because of this little baby that was born on this earth, lived and dead and now lives again i too can live forever with those that i love. Merry Christmas!!!

Celebrating our 1 year anniversary!!

I couldn't believe that we have really been married one year already. Trav and I decided to save some money and just do something close to home, and save and do a trip or whatever later. I just waited to see what he would plan and he was hoping i would do it of course. So we both went to work on Monday, July 21st, and when i got home he came in from the farm and said get ready we are going to eat. It was so fun we went up to Island Park (which is the same distance as going to Idaho Falls but much prettier) and ate dinner at the Trout Hunter. It was so good, we recommed it. Then Trav took me on a tour to see some of the cabins he helped wire this winter, which was good to finally see where all those late nights were spent. Then we took the Mesa Falls way home. What a beautiful night. The falls were so green and beautiful and the sunset was amazing over the farm fields and mountains. It was so nice to just spend some quality time together and not focusing on work or other stresses. The other pictures are of the day before. My mom bless her heart saved the top of our wedding cake and brought it up to us. So we popped open a little bubbly and enjoyed some of that yummy cake that we only got one bite of on our wedding day. It was so fun, and Trav was sick after, either because he ate so much or because it was a year old.
What a wonderful 1st year it has been. I love Trav so much more each day and look forward to celebrate many more years. And all those people that told us the 1st year was the hardest well i hope you are right, because if that is true then i look forward to the rest, because i loved every minute we have had together. Travis is so good to me, and works so hard at everything he does. Marriage has created in me a larger appreciation and understanding for our Heavenly Fathers love for us, because of the plan that he has created for us to be together forever. I wouldn't have it any other way!!!!
