Thomas Jumping!

By request, here's Thomas jumping down the stairs with Emma.

1, 2, 3 and he's OFF!!!!!!!

Everyday I will hear Thomas' cute voice say to himself, "one, two, threeeee" (sometimes he'll count to ten:) then he'll FLLLLLLY through the air off the stairs. This boy sure loves to jump everywhere he goes.

 Then he adds his somersaults to end with a sly finish! :) Love this little guy!

Emma's decorating skills

 Emma cracks us up with her decorating skills around our household. Above is a candy necklace in one clothes pin and a paper doily and mini word book in another. Just hanging on our stair well.

These beauties were found hanging on her bedroom door. Crayons, her nauvoo necklace, and a plastic bracelet. So pretty :)

 (Having a hard time with blogger today. It's not letting me put the curser where I want. Sorry it's all scattered.)

 

 Emma has also added her doily to the front porch railing to go along with our patriotic banner. 

She has also decked out her room, toys, and furniture with all her hair bows...every. single. one. of her hair bows. She cracks us up!

Bun in the Oven

We are very excited to announce...

Frazier Baby #3 is on his/her way! 

I am 15 weeks along and baby is due this Christmas season!

and there are hard days..

It was a hard day for me the other day and my family knew it. Derek took Emma to go run errands and came home with these flowers. While at the store she told Derek, "Daddy, I want to buy some flowers for Mommy." With her own money that she always brings anytime we go to stores might I add.  She picked out these beauties and brought them home to me. Oh how I love her. I have such a beautiful daughter who loves me and is so quick to show her love for me even when Mommy has very hard days. Thank you Emma. Thank you for being you.

Our little Swan

Emma had her first ballet performance. It was the Utah Regional Ballet production of Swan Lake. We were so proud of Emma. The week before her rehearsals and performance, a bench fell on her big toe. It was in pretty bad condition. I took her to a couple doctors. The first doctor drained her toe because there was so much blood built up under the toe, hoping it would relieve some pressure. Then her pediatrician told us how to care for it in preparation for the toe nail to fall off. He felt confident she could dance in her performance. I was SO stressed that whole week. But after all was said and done, she made it! She danced her little heart out and did beautiful! It was very entertaining watching her and her cute class. 

The last night of her last performance they let us take pictures of the dancers at the finale. Look at these pictures. Emma was SO ECSTATIC to find us in the front row. She really felt like a star! :)

Emma showing her cousin Lucy some dance moves.

 

  

Here she is with one of her dance friends, Sophia.

She was so thrilled to find her loved ones there to support her. Here she is with Oma and Uncle Dylan.

Auntie Kimmy

She looks so serious in this picture.

She was so excited to go get a treat after the show. We took her to Iceberg and got some shakes and fries. She was a happy camper. Sure proud of you Emma girl. WAY TO GO!

Chicken Whisperer

 Oh our sweet little man. Thomas has been named the "Chicken Whisperer" in our home. He is outside morning, noon and night wanting to play with the chickens. Luckily the chickens are SO patient with him as he picks them up constantly and tosses them in the air. It's even a bigger treat for Thomas to go in the cage with them, oh man it's a mess when he's done with that. He'll walk around the house and outisde bawking like a chicken, "bawwww ba ba ba bawwwwww!"

 A few weeks ago I was in the yard with the kids. I was on the other side of the yard and I looked over and saw Thomas riding Spot like a horse. Poor Spot. I yell, "Thomas get off of Spot, she's not a horse!" I wonder which of my neighbors may have heard that. :) It probably sounded weird. 

 I love when he's outside in his diaper and snow boots. :)

That's our little Chicken Whisperer! :)
