Hot Lunch

It's a pretty snowy, cold day so we decided to have hot lunch ready for Daddy when he got home. We set Luke up with a piping hot french dip sandwich and fries before his long drive to Casper this afternoon. Emmett had his first taste of Chef Boyardee for his hot lunch. He loved it. Mini meatballs and raviolis. It was a huge mess, but definitely worth the smile on his face to have tasted something different!








Yummy!! Hot and delicious!

What mess could you possibly be speaking of?!

First Birthday photos

Emmett and I went to Billings, Mt. for his first birthday photos. They turned out pretty good. It was fun seeing him pose for his photos, really a natural. We should have contacted Gerber early on! Anyway, he and I stopped and ate lunch at Applebee's, went to Toys R Us, and finished our day at Lowes. We picked out a toilet, sink and some tile pieces for the bathroom. I think we have the tile narrowed down to two choices. Should be great either way.

Today it is snowing like crazy! This is the first time since we've been here that it has snowed this much. March storms, right?! Luke has a meeting in Casper tomorrow that he is now going to make the drive tonight instead. Good idea with the way the weather is working out. In a few weeks, he has another meeting in Casper that Emmett and I are coming along for. Grandma Debbie and Grandpa Mark are meeting us up there for a quick visit. Can't wait! Enjoy the pics!

Happy Easter!

We had wonderful weather this weekend. Perfect for the easter weekend. We started with Luke having a half day on Friday(it was good friday). We took Emmett to see the Easter Bunny at the bank branch at Walmart and then out to lunch at our fav La Comida. We had breakfast with our friends next door on Saturday. It was a lot of fun to have them over. Emmett showed off all of his new toys to the boys, Kelly and Donald, and he got some new PJ's for this summer. Thanks Shelton's! Later that eve, we had a nice turkey dinner with our friend Mike. His wife Tammy and their son Caleb are in Florida for a visit with their families. Luke and Mike had a few beers and played X-box for quite some time. I mean into the wee hours of the morn! This morning was Easter morning. Emmett woke up and the Easter bunny had stopped by. He left a new book and some other fun toys. Grandma Debbie had also gotten him an easter basket to open this morning. He loved it! Cars and stuffed toys and even a small lunch box! He had a blast. The local "egg" hunt is at the golf course. So we went this afternoon and participated. The sun was shining and it was a little breezy, but there were tons of kids and will be so much fun once Emmett gets the concept. The Cody Lions Club basically drives around in golf cart with huge boxes of candy and empties them on the 1st fairway. They then blow the lightning siren and the kids go "hunting". Emmett had a piece of candy in both hands and was very content watching the other children fill entire grocery bags with candy. I did happen to snag a few Reese Peanut Butter Cups......for Daddy of course. We loaded up the easter loot and one very tired little boy. He napped and we got ready for Easter dinner with the neighbors, the Shelton's. We had a wonderful dinner of ham, yams, beans, salad and cornbread muffins. We never made it to the pecan pie! Full, tired and ready to put the kiddo to sleep, we are now at home relaxing. I wanted to make sure to post this evening, cause Emmett and I are headed to Billings in the morning for his pictures at Sears.

One more try with the birthday cake

The video is a little long, almost 3 mins. Aunt Chrissy, not to worry that he didn't eat your cake. I t seems that he doesn't like to eat any cake!! Enjoy the last of the birthday videos for this year.

Happy Birthday!

Today is the day! Emmett is officially one year old! Luke and I were actually reminiscing this morning around 9 am. Thinking that Emmett was only an hour old this time last year. Crazy!!! Luke, Emmett and I are going to have a nice dinner to celebrate this wonderful occasion, maybe some cake, we'll see how ambitious I get today!
Today is also the first day of Spring. It snowed again overnight. Not much to speak of, but left us in a cloudy, colder, gray rest of the day. Actually, I just looked outside and it is snowing some more.
Tomorrow, our local bank is offering free pics with the Easter bunny. Emmett did not think much of Santa, so we'll see how he does with this holiday icon.
The video below was from yesterday. He loves the birthday card given to him from Kate, Mike, Aidan and Ryleigh. He does not put it down! I hear the song over and over....Greatest gift ever, and only a few bucks! I will file that idea away for future birthdays...
