Its been a while... again

Its 2014 already?! Wow so much has been happening that I don't know where to begin. Hmmm... Well lets just say Emmy turns 2 in about 5 weeks her birthday is on May 12th. And we are also having another little one who is due on May 16th (another girl). No we did not plan that, it just happened that way ha ha. My last day of work in on April 18th, and hopefully I can be a stay at home mom and don't have to go back. Cole just took a class for TIG welding and is looking to find a new job that will pay better and not be as physically demanding as the job he has now.   

     Emmy has been doing great. I am sad to see her growing up so fast, but it has been so fun experiencing life with her. We are hitting the terrible two stage and compared to some children I have observed at this age she has been great. Even though I have days where I want to pull my hair out (but I don't have to it just falls out on its own). I think it helps that I have been reading books to help me know how to cope with different situations at this age. A good one that I would recommend right now it Jo Frost's Toddler Rules, its a good one and has helped a TON! We have started potty training over the last week also, she has been doing awesome with only a few accidents. She is saying a lot of words, starting to say two, to three words together. No is her favorite word and so is poo poo. Her favorite things are asking if you are okay (with concern) after you cough or sneeze, Avocados, babies, saying "Hi" to pretty much ANY person she walks by or even sees in a distance, playing outside, berries, running around the house with no clothes on saying "I nakey", Helping with dishes and laundry, reading stories, etc. I could go on and on about her favorite things but life is really exciting to an almost two year old which would make the list very long.

     We are so blessed, excited, and anxious to be having a second one on the way. Its another girl so they tell us, which I hope is true because I have everything I need for a girl. I am 34 weeks and 3 days pregnant. I was pretty sick with this pregnancy at the beginning but only until about 14-16 weeks. My body is in a lot more pain with this pregnancy, I believe it was because I did not get into shape at all after having Emmy. At about 28 weeks of pregnancy I sneezed and my tailbone popped and I couldn't sit without being in excruciating pain for about 1-2 weeks. I do feel my best physically these last couple of weeks though which is nice. We want to name her Adalynn (Addalyn?) not so sure on the spelling yet. I am excited to meet her and see what she looks like! I am very nervous to have another newborn with a toddler and no sleep. I know it will all fall into place even though the first couple of months will be hard.  

     Cole and I just had our 4 year anniversary on January 30th. We have been through so much together and I feel like our relationship just gets stronger and stronger. I couldn't ask for a better friend! Even when I think of him or am around him he still gives me butterflies. We are hoping to go somewhere fun for our 5 year anniversary, I wanted to go on a cruise but who knows what finances will be like. We stopped going to church a little while ago and have been wanting to go back but life gets in the way and you find excuses etc. I do want to raise our kids in the church and have that background and knowledge of Christ. It will happen with time! We are still in the same home and want to eventually build, possibly in Lehi by my parents or find a new home somewhere close to Coles new job (when he finds one). We had a time where we looked at our finances and decided we needed to start getting out of debt. So we sold Coles really nice Doge Ram 2500 for a little 1500 dollar ford ranger. We sold our camping trailer and a few other things. We hope to still go camping but its hard to look forward to going back to a tent, especially with kids. I had been working at Excel Eye Center and decided to quit last year in July and start doing hair again, I worked at Salon Beleza with some amazing girls for about 3 months before we found out I was pregnant again. So I had to quit and go back to excel full time, because I just wasn't making enough at the salon. I don't really know what else to add at this time so here are some pictures! There are a lot of missing pictures but I will try and keep this blog more updated :)

More special moments

 

I forgot to post a couple of events that had happened. Emmy also had her first Christmas and she just recently went swimming for the first time. She loved swimming and mostly just loved to watch all of the little kids around her playing. She is so fun and we love spending time with her and playing games!! She is a lot cuter that Cole and I so its better to just post pics of her ha ha.

Playing hide and seek AKA "wheres emmy"

Christmas morning I will totally take
advantage of this not waking up at

First time going swimming!! 2013

Reading with daddy

Updating my blog!

It has been a while since I last blogged and a lot has happened since my last post!We now have an addition to our family and lost one on the way. Our new addition is our BEAUTIFUL little girl Emmy Anne Denbow! I never thought I could love something so much. When she was first born I was so paranoid about germs, it is better now but I still cringe when I hear people cough around Emmy. Ha hopefully I am not so paranoid with the next one. She is getting so chunky and has some FUZZY strawberry blonde hair, and gorgeous blue eyes. Cole can't get enough of her and cant wait until she can go outside and play with him! She has her own room, ha ha she doesnt sleep in it yet but it sure is my favorite room in the house. The loss in our family was our dog porter, he was not very fond of kids and he was to hyper to be around a newborn baby. He went to such a good family. They were a young married couple and give me updates on him regularly, and it sounds like he gets all the love and attention he needs! Emmy is now 3 months old! I can't believe how time flies. She has already gotten to do so much fun things, she got to go to the zoo with her uncle jake, Nana, and mommy (dad had to work). She has had her first camping trip with the whole extended family and with just Me and Cole. She had her first 4th of july. We also attended her first parade, which will be more enjoyed by her next year (the police/fireman sirens were way to loud). She was also got blessed by her grandpa and looked beautiful. I really could go on and on about her she is the light of our lives and we could not be having more fun. Oh she also currently has her first cold, not so fun. Cole and I really have nothing to new in our lives, we did get a new dog max and he is the perfect dog besides the fact that he loves to chew everything. Other than that he is perfect (especially for cole to take hunting). We have started attending church (slowly but surely) and hope that someday we can get sealed as a family forever! Well I hope to be able to keep this updated more often! Here are some pictures of the year so far!...... And after writing that blog 5 months ago I am now updating again because I realize that I never posted it. Emmy is now 8 months old! ha ha how time really DOES fly! Emmy had a lot of 1sts in 2012, Her first Halloween, christmas, camping, etc. It is so fun to see her grow and see how much she learns in so little time! Just last week we took her swimming which she loved! Cole and I have since started going to church more and more, and it becomes easier and easier to go (somedays). Personaly for me I noticed that I am happier and my testimony is growing stronger and stonger. Our goal so far is to get sealed in the temple ASAP! Last year we could see it happening but were not working twords it at all, and now we are all for it and trying hard to make it happen. 2013 is going to be a good year I can feel it (knock on wood). I am going to try and make it a goal to update the blog every month! Lets see if I can make that happen! These pictures are not in a perfect timeline but it the thought that counts. I will post christmas pics and other pics on a different day. She is MUCH bigger now than in the pictures posted.
