Emmett's many faces

It has been fun watching the faces he pulls & trying to get them on camera.

Baby Emmett J Morris

Hi! My name is baby. . . .

i was born October 28, 2009 at 6:17 am.
i weighed 7 lbs 9 oz and was 19 1/2 inches long.

This is me before my first bath. . .

. . .and now i'm all clean! ☺

Here i am getting ready for my first car ride!

i finally got to meet my kitty. i don't think she likes the way i smell.

i got to meet my great granny wuthrich today. i was sure glad she came to see me!☺

Well thanks for coming to see my pictures. You will all have to come back when my mommy can post more, i'm not very good with a computer since i'm only 5 days old.

How we lookin'?

Here we are at 38 weeks. I wasn't going to post my belly picture

but after Jared decided to pose I had to put these on.

Not sure what face he's trying to pull.

Got checked today & I'm dilated to a 2 & 80% effaced.

All I can say is I'm tired & excited.

Final days

I haven't updated my blog lately because I haven't taken many pictures & our days have been working, baby shopping, showers, & salsa making. We're trying to take advantage of getting things done before we have a little one to take care of.

These are all pictures of people I work with. The girls had a shower for me at Old Spaghetti Factory and here are the Dr.'s I work for.

I really don't like football but I agreed to go to this game with Jared against the Aggies. Jared took two pictures & I was planning on getting a picture of us to prove I went but forgot.

We have "team days" at work during the fall/winter & the first one usually begins with a talk about the BYU football players & coach since our doctors LOVE BYU. This year we hiked the "Y" and the Doctors talked about the f-ball team's experiences up there. It was my first time doing that hike & unfortunately I was starting to get a cold so I was a bit miserable & spent the rest of the weekend getting over the nasty cold. Fun experience still!

Aunt Janet

My darling Aunt Janet is now at rest after a battle with cancer & other illness. A month ago she gave me this painting she did of Lucy & I love it! She adopted Lucy cat when she was a kitten & raised her for about 11 years then became terribly allergic & had to give her away. I love cats so I was excited when I got a phone call asking if we could take her. We've had her over a year now & even Jared has learned to love Lucy.

I'm lucky to have 3 of her many amazing paintings in our home to remember her every day. She will be very missed.

Huckleberry picking with Aunt Trudy. We don't see her often since she lives in Alaska so we enjoyed these few days of having her here.

I can't let a year pass by without getting some huckleberries.

Washington

We went to Washington with my family in August & had quite an adventure. We golfed early one morning & it was pretty cold to start with but I love feeling like we're the only ones on the course.

Then we left for a long day in Seattle. Started out eating lunch at Ivar's. Most everyone did the underground tour & Jared said it wasn't too exciting so he took pictures so I'll never have to do it.

My mom hesitantly feeding the seagull :)

After I flew home with my parents & brother, Jared, Casey, Mel, & Wyatt enjoyed a ride on Puget Sound with Jared's parents. They had just flown in that day & were very nice to take them on the boat.

Wyatt was so good through the whole trip. Here he is on one of many car rides. I stuck the camera in front of him to get his cute giraffe he tucked under his chin & I heard a "cheese" .....so cute

Then a little while later he was out.

Wyatt loves to give his dog a "pat" & does the same to these goats.........even the log.

Before's & After's of J Jr's room

Here's an old dresser of Jared's we've had since we got married. (I only got the drawers in this picture but you get the idea.)

And here it is now!

I didn't get a before of the closet but Jared tore it out & built a new one with the dresser in it.

We experimented doing this wall & it turned out pretty cute.

We had Megan & my mom help us with the wall which was GREAT!!

The finished product.

The crib arrived early & Jared was pretty excited to put it together at first, until it started getting late.

We put the bedding in & I knew the bumpers needed a bit less cushion to open up space on the mattress & to not be a suffocation hazard. So......



We found some foam & cut it to size & made the perfect size bumpers.

I can't believe it's done, other than decorations. About 2 1/2 months before we put this room to good use.

BUGS!

Just an idea of some of the bugs we get to see here. We have TONS of praying mantids which is fun. I always wondered if they ate any of the million grasshoppers we have & found my answer. This guy had just finished the head & was still munching away.

We get a lot of nasty huge spiders so Jared has some strong bug spray & one day I found all of these out front on our sidewalk.....DEAD!

AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, THE SPIDER OF ALL SPIDERS. This one was found today by our renter & yes it was dead. I took a picture of the bottom of him too so you could see how long his legs are. I'm not obsessed with bugs but I guess a little fascinated. I hope this doesn't keep anyone from wanting to visit.

Fun at the lake

Jared took us to the middle of the lake & we swam until our feet started to look like this.

Hope we can swim some more before the cold weather comes!
