Who do you think Emma looks like?

So I am wondering what everyone else thinks...
On the side bar there is an option to vote on who you think Emma looks more like. We'll see what your results are compared to the Heritage Meter. :)
Can't wait to see what you think!
P.S.
Don't you think Tyler was adorable at age 2!? He still is, but what a cutie!!!

Bath Time Tip


It seems that Emma is getting more and more independent and stubborn lately. I think it is just this week, but if the 2's are like this, and from what I hear about 3's, I am nervous!!!!
We seem to fight about everything, not really, but it feels that way today. It's been a long week with only a few days to go outside. The Bath is sometimes the hardest thing to get done in our day. I know, what kid doesn't like to take a bath? Well, sometimes it is Emma. I don't usually push it, she can go a day without one, but she is not a two dayer. :) I know you would probably say, just pick her up and throw her in there, but guess what? Emma is super strong! Have you seen her 35+ pound body and those legs! I have a hard time "making" her do anything. :)
So, my wonderful friend Allison gave me this great idea. FOOD COLORING. Yes, I said Food coloring. 4 drops of whatever color she would like to have motivates her into getting into the tub. And it is so educational! She will tell me "yellow" or "green". And we count the drops, she swishes the color around and we have a pink bath or a blue bath. It is so fun! I can't wait to start mixing colors and making purple and other great colors!
And to you worriers out there, no it doesn't stain and no your tub will still be white and it is perfectly safe!
Hope this helps someone else too!

Weather in Utah



Cadence asked me a while back if I was enjoying the weather in Utah, cause she is basking in the sunshine in Arizona. And she deserves it, she just moved from Washington State. Well..here's a little of what we have been having this "spring". It snowed on Saturday, Sunday and Monday. These pictures were from Sunday's storm, not a lot of snow, but it was sure cold enough. Monday's storm produced a little more snow. Emma loved playing in it. It has been pretty nice the past couple of days, the sun has been out at least. Typical Utah weather. We need the water so I try not to complain! :)

Flying Kites

We flew kites last Friday at a park by my mom's house. It was a lot of fun. Emma loved it. It was fun to do something together as a family. Life seems so busy we don't always have time to do fun stuff like this. Tyler and I bought these kites before Emma was born and are finally enjoying them. Spiderman and Veggie Tales; Emma's favorite, it's got Bob on it. :) She was so cute. She would just follow us wherever we went to catch the wind holding onto her kite too.
Here's the pictures.





A day in Emma's life

Don't ask me how she did this...okay you can ask. I think she was trying to climb up on to the counter. And somehow her toe got stuck between the two CLOSED drawers! She was in a little bit of a panic and was saying "stuck". I told her to pull it out, but honestly, she couldn't. I took a quick pic, and then went and saved her, she really did have it stuck, I had to open the bottom drawer strategically with the top drawer to get her toe out! Too funny! **giggle,giggle**

MyHeritage: Family tree - Genealogy - Celebrity - Collage - Morph

I thought this was pretty fun. We are always getting told who Emma looks more like. Most people say it is Tyler - well...pretty much everybody! :) And some people say she is a good mix between the two of us, and apparently that is what this meter thought too. 5% more me, that isn't much! She is a good mix!
