Best part about it is it looks super easy! Tutorial found HERE!

Family Pictures!

Well we got our pictures done by my friend Amy Clark a few weeks ago. She did ours last year too if any of you remember! Anyway.. I just thought I would share a few! We took them at the cutest orchard up in Provo. Emery was GREAT for the first little while and then started to be such a stinker and only making goofy faces. Silly girl! Anisten was an ANGEL the whole time. Such a happy little girl! And Braun stepped in deer poop half way through which was pretty funny too! Oh and the best part about it is none of us died from all the falling apples! :)

Now onto the pictures..Here you go! And if you would like Amy to do some pictures for you.. here is her blog! The Clarkys!

Oh dangit.. I just realized I uploaded all of the Low Res files. That is why they are a bit blurry. I'll upload some of the larger ones later! :)

Headlamps:)

So Braun and I took a Sunday drive today to St. George today and are
now headed back. What made me excited about driving this far was that
I could crochet the whole way. I am obsessed with crocheting lately!
It's so relaxing to me. Well I just thought I'd share a picture of my
dorkiness. When it gets dark and you can't see to crochet anymore...
Wear a HEADLAMP!! seriously.. BEST.INVENTION.EVER!!!

And hopefully (if I don't have to keep starting this dang hat over
cause I (keep) screw(ing) up) I'll be able to show you what I made
tomorrow! It's DANG cute!

My lovies!!

Oh I can't sleep (it's 3:05AM) and was looking through pictures and
thought I'd share this. Can I just say these 2 little kiddos rock my
world?? Oh they sure do. I love them to pieces.

Happy Saturday Everyone!!

Piper and Chloe & Bijou!

For all of you Northerners, there is a happenin' boutique going on up in Farmington. I was just there setting up tonight and they had lots of cute things! :)

Go HERE for directions!
It is Friday from 10-7 and Saturday from 10-5

I wish I would have taken pictures when I was there setting up. They have such cute things there! So even if you don't live close.. head up anyway!

And we can't forget about the Southerners either! This Saturday is Bijou Market. The hottest boutique Provo's ever seen. (Okay so I've actually never been but I am sure it will be equally as awesome!) This boutique is a one day-ER! So head on over there early and get some awesome Christmas goodies there too.

Emery's Broken Foot!

Well here's the scoop. On Friday night (October 30th!) we were hanging out with a bunch of friends playing the Newly Wed Game (pics to come!) Brynlee, Jaidyn and Emery were playing by the stairs. I seriously didn't even know they were jumping or anything. Well next thing I know, Emery was SCREAMING bloody murder and so Braun and I rush over there and she was saying she hurt her foot. She showed us that she had jumped off of the 5th stair up! Sheesh! I wouldn't even jump from the 5th stair up. Anyway, later that night she was walking around but had a limp. I figured she had just bruised it. The next morning she was the same. It wasn't swollen, bruised or anything! She still walked with a limp but she was still being crazy busy ole' Em! Finally on Monday morning I thought I better take her in just in case. She wasn't complaining about it anymore but she still wouldn't walk on the inside of her foot. We took her in and they made her walk across the room while they watched her, bent her foot a few different ways and lastly made her jump (which she couldn't do). The doctor then asked me to take her over to American Fork Hospital to get some X-Rays. (Which BTW-the hospital right now is the most awkward place EVER!! Everyone was in masks, you would think I had just been convicted of some major crime because of how I was looked at for bringing my 3 year old into the hospital, and everyplace I would touch, they would immediately sanitize it with Clorox Wipes!) Emery did great while getting her X-Rays done. We were then sent on our way and said a Dr would be calling us within the hour.




We headed to Target to grab a birthday present and a few odds and ends. In the back of my mind I seriously thought there was no way that her foot was broken. Well sure enough, the doctor called and said she had broken the inside bone of her foot and that we needed to come in as soon as we could to get a walking cast put on.

Here is Emery all tuckered out on the waiting room couch.
Putting the cast on!
She chose hot pink of course!
The poor thing is slipping all over the tile floor in our house. Any ideas on what to do about that?? I was thinking of hot glue dots along the bottom. Don't laugh at me.. that's all I can come up with! So here is what she will look like for the next 3 weeks. Her new nickname at our house is PEG and I sure love how I can hear her thud coming my way!! Is it bad that I think her cast is super cute? I used to always think it would be cool to have a cast.
And here are just a couple videos from that day. The 2nd video is of the first breakdown as she was trying to peel off the cast! Poor thing!

It honestly hasn't slowed her down a bit. She still is silly crazy Em running around like mad!

Well I am trying to blog everyday this month. I NEED to get better. It
drives me CRAZY that I haven't blogged much lately! Anway.. I've gotta
get a post in before the day ends eh?! Little Ems got a new addition
to her leg. Poor girl! I'll post all about it tomorrow but until then
I'll leave you with her pretty little face!
