We have a three month old! HOW?? Emmett's finally starting to smile more! He gets the biggest grin when he sees his reflection in the mirror. It's the cutest. thing. ever. He loves being held up so he can stand on his cute chunky legs. He enjoys starting off the day in his swing watching 'Super Simple Songs' on youtube, which gives his mama about 30-45 minutes to get ready / eat breakfast / wash dishes / do laundry or whatever in the morning. Emmett is getting better at controlling his limbs, so toys are finally becoming more interesting to him now that he can grab and hit them. He found his hands and likes to keep them clasped together most of the time. He nurses best laying down and sleeps best when he's next to someone, so he ends up in our bed most nights {which usually means dad ends up on the spare mattress}. Little man still spits up like crazy, but it doesn't phase him in the slightest. He is growing and learning SO much, SO fast. We cannot get enough of this sweet boy!

Trip to CO
PHEW. Finally found a minute to get on here. About this time yesterday Emmett blessed me with a three hour nap in which I was able to tidy the house, read, and relax a bit. I'm hoping his current nap is another one of those *fingers crossed* so I can get a post or two done.
Back on May 22nd, Emmett and I hitched a ride with Shilo and Kody out to Colorado. They were mainly going to attend the Air Force Academy graduation, and I was going to avoid spending another uneventful week cooped up in the house. I was nervous taking Emmett on his first long road trip, but he handled it like a champ! He slept probably seven of the eight hour car ride and we only had to stop once in Grand Junction on the way there. HALLELUJAH.
While we were there we...
went to the Denver Zoo with Lynnea and Evie,
shopped & shopped at Park Meadows and the outlets,
celebrated Kody's 22nd birthday,
went to the Taylor Swift concert with Hailey (well I did, Emmett stayed home with gigi),
ate ice cream at Rita's,
spent quality time with the fam,
& video chatted with Jason lots.
This was the longest Jason and I have been apart since we've been married, and the first time he's ever had to be away from his baby boy. We sure missed our daddy!
^^ Kody has the magic touch!
The concert was AMAZING. By far one of the coolest experiences ever. A girl in Hailey's ward had an extra ticket, so I got to tag along FOR FREE. Keep in mind, these were $400 seats - we were SO CLOSE. I was freaking out that Taylor Swift, one of the most famous singers of our time, was only a couple yards away from us !!! I obviously took lots of video haha. I'm sooooo grateful that my mama was willing to watch Emmett while I had a late night out. She's the best gigi.
^^ Emmett's first time at the zoo
Hanging with grandpa. I love these guys!
That about sums up our trip! Perfect timing too... Emmett's just waking up. Only 2 1/2 hours until dad gets home :)))

B l e s s e d
Last Sunday was Emmett's blessing day. We're grateful that so many family members and friends were able to come out for the occasion. Jason gave such a sweet blessing. A couple of things mentioned that I want to remember from it:
Have a desire to do good • Keep an eternal perspective • Strive to uphold the laws and covenants you make • Be led by the spirit to help more of God's children come unto Him • Grow to understand the importance of Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father • Find happiness and joy in this life through family, friends, and especially the gospel • Carry out duties and responsibilities in a way that is pleasing to our Heavenly Father • Have a love for our Savior that will grow and be strengthened by keeping His commandments. Good reminders, for all of us.
Everyone congregated to our town home pavilion afterwards for a post-blessing brunch. Shout out to my mama for working her usual magic and making it a pinterest worthy event. Other family members contributed food and assisted with the set up & clean up. THANKS EVERYONE. We appreciate you!
Alright, get ready for LOTS of pictures.
Breakfast burritos
Yogurt parfait bar
Fruit tray & dip
Orange juice
Muffins
YUM.
It was a happy, happy day! I'm going to try to ignore the fact that I didn't get one picture of Emmett in his cute bow tie :,) It came off right after he was blessed to avoid getting spit up on it. Welp, lesson learned - keep the bow tie on!
WE LOVE YOU, EMMETT.
