THE LIFE OF EMMA & CASH

Thanksgiving at the aquarium

2011-11-27T01:34:00.001-06:00

The Tues. Before thanksgiving we took the kids to the aquarium, again. We decided to sleep in and not fight traffic to get there. Going at noon is the best time to go. They feed the animals and they were all active. Best day trip so far.

Easter 2011

2011-04-26T14:23:00.006-05:00

Even though Emma is almost 3 this was our first Easter to both be with her. Daddy took a 14 min. video of her finding eggs in our house. so yeah i dont have time to edit that or to wait for it to load.

Later that day we went to Gigi and Papa's house for another Easter egg hunt. These pictures are way cuter since she is dressed, hair done and has a smile on her face. Plus Uncle Adam was helping baby Cash pick up the eggs that were just thrown on the grass. Adam would bend over and Cash would pick them up all by himself. Such an amazing kiddo.

The loot just from Gigi and Papa's.

My attempt to take a family picture before church. This is the best we got. I am barely in the picture and Cash will only look at Emma because she kept screaming "cheese" at the top of her lungs.

And this is how Sterling looked and felt about me trying to take a picture.

Emma and Cash Jan 2011

2011-02-10T16:10:00.000-06:00

Cash Smiles...and sleeps

2011-02-09T14:23:00.002-06:00

Cash has become the smilest baby ever. It makes me so happy. He even giggles a little bit too. He wants to talk but hey he is only 7 1/2 weeks old we have time for that.

Since he loves to sit up and see everything I have started to prop him up in the corner of the couch. It was quiet for a REALLY long time, so I went to check closely on him and realized his eyes were closed. Sitting straight up in the corner of the couch. I love this little boy.

Emma in the snow

2011-02-09T14:08:00.004-06:00

After being stuck in the house for 3 days straight, playing in 20 degrees in the snow is the best thing EVER!!!!!

Eating snow for the first time.

.....The reaction!!! (Mommy its COOOOLLLLDDD!!!)

Making snow angels.

While mommy and Emma made snow angels, daddy thought he was going to build a snow man. Ummm....thats not going to stick with 2 inches of ice underneath it.

Finally daddy gave up and came to have fun making snow angels. He officially became the best daddy ever when he laid down in the snow also.

And just for the record we had to get a picture of the full make shift snow suit. (Us Texas people dont usually buy those things until the day we need them. )

Mommy really was present during this activity but I am the one with the camera.

Cash's Blessing Day

2011-02-04T21:07:00.002-06:00

Look at the cute boy, dressed all in white, ahhhh a mothers dream!!!

About 20 minutes after we got home, asleep upright in GiGi's arm.

Family picture.

Cash 1 month old

2011-01-21T13:47:00.000-06:00

Yeah!!!!!

2011-01-12T17:34:00.001-06:00

We have a picture with his eyes open.

Who thinks Cash looks like Emma?? Everyday I change my mind.

Me and my man!!!

2011-01-03T11:23:00.003-06:00

Ok so he kinda looks like a devil baby but I lOVE this picture!!!!

I am still trying to figure out how to capture pictures on a real camera instead of the phone.

Some pictures of our kids

2010-12-30T17:15:00.002-06:00

I still can't believe that I have to say KIDS...as in plural....as in more then 1. It has been so natural that it still feels weird. (dont worry i am still waiting for everything to fall apart) and sorry for all the cell phone pictures. Luckily Sterling always has his phone in his pocket and i am not totally missing these pictures.

Emma holding Cash for the first time.

Cash sucking on his two fingers. He has been experimenting with his fingers and thumb. but i keep pulling them out and putting a binky in.

Emma right before I went into labor. We were doing 12 days of christmas lights. Meaning driving around at night and looking at christmas lights. Emma LOVED it and it was something cheap and fun to do together.

Halloween 2010: The Cutest Pumpkin on earth!!!

Sterlings employess invited him to go to the rodeo with them. They all had dates and Sterling took Emma. (Momma had to work!!) Sterling had to buy her the new pink hat!! His little cowgirl.

Emma started preschool and she LOVES her Dora backpack almost as much as she LLLOOOVVVEEESSS going to preschool. Auntie Em and Adam got a new cute puppy. He is a golden doodle and his name is Butters and Emma is completely obessed with this dog.

Catch up time!!

2010-11-05T09:34:00.005-06:00

My goal over the next 6 1/2 weeks (yes that is when baby #2 will be here)

Get caught up on pictures of Emma. Get them printed and at least filled in an order in a picture box. Lets face it actually putting them in a picture album-never gonna happen!!!

Emma's new hobby- Jacking up cars for daddy!! In our jammies of course!!

Every night- BUBBLES!!!!! Look Emma looks like Daddy!!!

We went to the Texas State Fair- I took tons of pictures but Emma is not looking at the camera in a single one. Except the one on the tractor. (whats soooo sad. I never even showed Sterling the pictures from the day at the fair!)

New night time routine, Cereal with daddy then bath.

Stay tuned...more to come very soon!!! (there if i say it out loud then maybe it will make me actually do it.!!!)

Daddy Daughter Date

2010-09-29T10:09:00.002-05:00

Monday night while I was at work Sterling took Emma to the park by our house. He took these cute pictures on our phone. I just love them both to death.

Summer 2010

2010-08-30T10:34:00.004-05:00

So we havent done much this summer and i am getting to be horrible about having the camera with me. Here are some moments caught on camera

Emma in her first set of curlers. I was trying the look out for Emily's wedding. She hates when I am actually doing her hair but she leaves it alone once it is in.

EVERY single day Emma walks around the house in Every single pair of shoes I own.

We are SOOOOO happy that Auntie Em moved back to Dallas and spends lots of time playing with us

Its Texas so what else is there to do in the summer but SWIM!!! Which we do just about everyday. Emma's new favorite thing...fly back and forth from mom to dad.

Sterling has hurt his back pretty bad and had to spend 2 1/2 weeks not moving, not picking up Emma (which just about killed her), no working, and absolutely not working on cars (which just about killed him.)

So Emma and daddy found a new way to bond!!!

Emma has also started to retreat and WANT her binky all the time. She knows she can only have it in her bed. It was very quite one day and so when i went to go find her, this was her CREATIVE way of having her binky. I still can not figure out why her feet are in her box or why she picked the boopy to lay on. (the boppy was in the other room where i am getting things ready for the new baby.

Speaking of new baby we finally switched Emma to a big girl bed so we could put the crib in the nursery. It was a peice of cake getting it out of Emma's room....but not so easy getting it in. Lets just say that is is Sterling hiding behind the crib which is literally stuck. (Sterling was not happy i was crying I was laughing so hard and HAD to take this picture. Dont you know he is a handy man and can do anything. It only took me lifting up my end to unstick it, but he had to take it half apart to get it in the room. )

Emma sleeping in her big girl bed. She LOVES it!!!!

Emily and Adam sitting in a tree....

2010-06-22T20:23:00.005-05:00

THEY DID IT!!!! Finally, I thought the day would never come and now I can still not believe that they are married.

The happy coulple leaving the Temple

Their car. Adam's family tapped one dollar bills all over the inside of the car.

Emily at the reception.

Wagner family self portrait. (Emma better hurry up and learn at how to look at the camera.)

Emma...

2010-05-12T20:11:00.003-05:00

is going to be a................. Baby Wagner coming 12/30/10

Emma turns 2!!!

2010-05-11T21:23:00.002-05:00

For Emma's birthday we decided to take her to the Dallas World Aquarium instead of having a party. It was the best decision ever. We had a blast and Emma loved seeing all the Nemos'!

Emma feeding the baby Tucans!!!

Emma's birthday morning, look how happy she is!!!

Were IN!!!

2010-04-27T11:07:00.003-05:00

We FINALLY made it into our new house. I had every intention of taking tons of pictures so I could document moving day, but who has time for that, or better yet, who can find the camera.

I did manage to take a few pictures after everything was at the new house.

This is the view from the front door.

My dad and Adam taking a break. After they packed the moving truck, unloaded the moving truck, washed all the windows at the new house, and then mowed and edged the lawn.

Sterling changing out the power cord to the dryer. Who knew that some houses have a 3 plug and some have a 4 plug for dryers.

More pictures to come. Sterlings brothers are coming in 12 days so I have to have the house ready by then!!!!

Easter (since Daddy had to work!)

2010-04-04T11:09:00.004-05:00

GG and Papa filled the eggs and hide them since Sterling and I are both working this weekend. I got to see her collect those eggs and boy did she have fun.

First Egg out the door!

One egg cracked open when she put it in the basket and she had to stop to put it back together.
Cute picture
Carrying her basket

Putting eggs in the basket

All 42 eggs!!!

Opening them up! Whats inside?

The final loot (peanut butter M&M's- Emma's favorite)

Emma and a hose!!!

2010-04-04T11:02:00.002-05:00

It's Official

2010-04-01T13:01:00.003-06:00

We close Tues. (Please look past the weeds!!!)

A beautiful day

2010-03-24T14:45:00.002-06:00

I grew up in Dallas and I went for the very first time EVER!!! To the Dallas Arboretum. Its soooo said, I know.

Emma and her friend Sophie (i wish my grass looked that this)
We played in the water

and some more water

there was a petting zoo for Tiny tots Tuesday

and i am trying to be a good mom and get Emma to wear her sunglasses. Isnt she the cutest thing!!!

Snow Day + Daddy's day off= GREAT DAY!!!

2010-02-12T08:41:00.002-06:00

We went for a walk in the snow. (I really tried to get her to play in the snow but it was new and she wanted nothing to do with it. )

The front of our house before we got another 2 inches.

This is the bush out of our kitchen window. Plus I love the amount of snow on the fence and the neighbors house.

New Pups!!!!

2010-02-09T15:25:00.002-06:00

My mom got a new puppy (and is trying to sell the other one if any one knows of anyone that wants an amazing puppy!!)

Sterling didnt want to have anything to do with these pups. Guess what i just found on my moms camera.

Where did January go??

2010-02-05T13:56:00.002-06:00

I turned another year older in January and we were all throw uppy sick so we didnt really celebrate. (I decided it means my birthday didnt happen!) We did end up going out the weekend after my birthday on Saturday during the day. Which, I have decided is the best way to "go out" when you have small children. We dropped Emma off with my dad about noon, then we went to lunch and went and saw Avatar (best movie in a very long time) at 2:30. We then went back and picked her up from my dad at 5:30. and then we took her with us and went to dinner. We spent 5 1/2 hours alone!!! That would never happen at night or we would be out past midnight and I dont think i can stay awake that late anymore.

Here are some of the very few pictures i took during Janauray and into Feb.

Play date with Sophie, There are in the middle of the exercauser that I had to take the seat out of so they both could play in it at once.

Most nights, This is how Emma hangs out, sitting in Daddy's lap, watching tv, or reading books.

Last weekend we babysat Abbie and all Emma wanted to do was play in the dog crate, so we decided to buy her a tent. Everything is better when daddy plays with you.

Emma LOVES to hang out in our bed. But it has to be made first. The pillows have to be stacked just perfecty and she HAS to be able to pull ALL the covers up.

Uncle Spencer came to visit

2010-01-07T09:27:00.002-06:00

Sterling's youngest brother, Spencer, and his friend Ben came to visit us over New Year's weekend. We had a blast mostly just hanging out and being funny.

We did take them for a day out in downtown Dallas.

First to the "Grassy Knoll" to see where JFK was killed. (Neither 23 yr old understood that JFK was shot here in Dallas until we were there-this makes me sad for the Vegas public school system)

This was Emma's view.

Then to the park by the city buildings to see the running of the longhorns.

The boys thought they were going to be funny and try to get her to say bad things. HAHAHA to them she didnt say one thing!!!! Unfortunetly after they left, she learned to climb even more. I missed getting the shot were her foot is up on the table.

Christmas morning

2009-12-28T12:32:00.002-06:00

The view of the tree and presents before anyone dove in.

Emma's stash!!! (just kidding-the 4 presents for Sterling and I are in there also!)

The look on Emma's face when she got her kitchen.

Emma playing with her kitchen while the rest of us opened presents.

The rest of us.
Emily looking at her wedding book (all she got for christmas this year was a wedding. And thats Adam next to her, he kept the room clean)

Daddy putting Emma's toys together.

This is what we saw most of the morning. When she wasnt playing with her kitchen she would run around and squish her face up to the glass and make piggy face.

Christmas 2009

2009-12-28T10:35:00.003-06:00

WOW!!!! christmas was crazy this year. I worked deep nights christmas eve and christmas day and then sat. and sun. were my regular weekend to work. Lets just say i was extremely tired but once the paycheck comes i wont even remember how tired i was.

I went to download the christmas pictures from the camera to the computer and this lovely picture pulled up. I will call it self portrait.

Emma is just so stinkin' cute with her cans of veggies. They are all over my house all the time, but hey she is learning good eating habits, right??

Pictures with Santa did go so well. I tried so hard to prep her. We went and had lunch with santa. i didnt make her sit on his lap. we just went up and sat next to him. so she could see him and that he isnt scary. (that is her "say cheese" face not a scary face)
When we did actually go see santa she did so well. she kept pointing at him and saying Santa, but then when it was time to sit on his lap she wanted nothing to do with him and screamed bloody murder. thus no pictures.

Emma did love christmas trees this year and would always point and say "light" when she say a christmas tree. so i decided to just take some pictures with a tree to document christmas 2009.

Couponing

2009-12-11T16:55:00.003-06:00

PREFACE
Couponing has become an obsession for me. It is a game. How much can i get for how little? Christmas would not be happening at the Wagner household if it was not for couponing this last year.

I need to give some serious "thank you's" to my wonderful neighbors (who i know read this and why i am posting this)

WHY I AM POSTING
so I am at work as I am writing this. Just sitting here waiting for labels to print so i can make some IV's. So I sit at my computer and start reading some blogs.

I have one blog that i totally blog stalk. it is a friend/roommate (i think) of one of my really good friends so i dont feel that bad. but she just blogged about

...how she does not care about the prices of milk or fruit at the grocery store....

I literally had a heart attack!!!! I think I officialy have an obsession

this is a little old

2009-12-05T13:59:00.000-06:00

This is at my mom's house but this is Emma's new past time!!

What is up with today??

2009-12-02T16:08:00.003-06:00

First, I woke up to snow....I know its Dec. 2nd but really its Texas!!! (for all you vegas foke...this only lasted about 1 hr.)

Second, for all of you that dont know I have become a serious couponer. i dont do anything unless i have a coupon...i really have saved alot of money. I turned around from sitting at the computer and apparently my couponing/add brousing has passed on to other people in my family.

Black Friday

2009-11-27T09:48:00.003-06:00

I did it!!!! I got up at 4:15 was at target at 4:35 stood in a crowd that looked like this but I was in the first 1/2 closest to the door. Got in, got my stuff, and was in the car at 5:29. I even saw our bishop at Target.
I was home back in bed at 5:45!!1 I only missed an hour of sleep, got the stuff I wanted, I may be a black friday shopper. Maybe next year i will try more then one store.

(p.s. for those of you that asked...i saved my parents the hassel of having to find Sterling and mine's present from them and just went ahead and got it since they are out of town. and a christmas present for myself.
Sterling and me: a portable dvd player for the car that goes on the back of the headrest
for myself: a stand mixer -it was only $24 (it will by me more time for wanting a kitchenaid)

dont worry i told my dad he could just give me the money difference on the amount i saved him. its like a finders fee!)

Thanksgiving day

2009-11-27T09:38:00.003-06:00

I went big this year! This is what the front of the house looked like

but...... this is all that was inside. (all the cars are our neighbors company. literally the whole street was lined with cars!)
I did go big and make my first thanksgiving. The turkey came out pretty good for my first time. But the stuffing was not the same as my moms. i think i have a few lessons to learn.

Family Pictures 2009

2009-11-19T19:17:00.006-06:00

SOOOOOOOOO Many AMAZING pictures to decided just a few favorites. Please tell me your vote for favorite picture.

(and again many thanks to the photographer- i dont know if she wants the world to know so i wont say her name until i do)

The End

Why we LOVE Texas

2009-11-12T11:28:00.003-06:00

The date: Novemeber 11, 2009
The time: 4pm
The place: The coolest park EVER!!! (Celebration park, Allen, Tx)

It is Mid-Novemeber it was above 70 degrees so after doing all our yard work we took Emma to the park. Sterling and I were in shorts and T-Shirts. It was a "Best Day Ever" feeling, and Emma found our shadows!!!

Then we played on the playground for 1 hour. Up the stairs, down the slide, up the stairs....and down the slide.

Then we went to swing and Emma decided to make funny faces everytime she came close to us.

(Notice all the teeth!!!)

I love Texas and even better i married a man who loves Texas too!! (oh yeah I am still picking roses off my bush-its november!!)

Halloween 2009

2009-11-02T14:54:00.004-06:00

Halloween 2009 started off with a tri-ward playgroup party. Here is Emma who took the glory of being a unshoed Pebbles and ran on the church for hard wood gym floor for a good hour.

If she wasnt running she was climbing in and out of a nursery chair (you know the little tiny ones) she didnt care about the crafts i helped put together, just the chair!

Emma and her bestest buddy Makayla as a bunny

On Sat. night we went to our wards trunk or treat and then off to my parents buildings trunk or treat.

Emma and Ellie cruzin in the wagon (best purchase ever)

Emma being a big girl on the electric 4-wheeler (not ours)
Family picture- Thanks Steph for taking the picture or "The Flintstones" would never have been seen.

Pumpkin Patch

2009-11-02T14:45:00.003-06:00

At the pumpkin patch Emma got to:

Feed goats, sheep, a cow, and a longhorn (she was just giddy with all the animals and their tongues licking her)

Go on a hay ride

Self portrait

and pick her own pumpkin

Emma's New toy

2009-10-19T14:21:00.004-05:00

Emma loves this little bubble car (thats what we call it at our house). In and out all day long. Now if she can only learn to not just push backwards with her feet.
She even has to sit in it to watch her cartoons. So she gets in and out of the car all day while watching little einstiens all day.

Yup, that is her baby in the back seat.

And the following for everyones addventure is sterling pushing emma around our house in the car. Please dont mind my voice, or my laughing.

Going bonkers

2009-10-19T14:13:00.002-05:00

For those of you that live close by you know how addicted and in love I am with "Going Bonkers". Those that are not, It is an indoor jungle gym. It is two stories and has these slides that you climb up to. It is even sturdy enough to handle Sterling. Emma just goes crazy in the car when we pull up to it. (and now that i am talking about it we may have to go tonight!)
Last week we went for one of our friends birthday parties. Daddy really was happy and excited and so was Emma but neither of them put on a good face. (Emma is mad that her dad made her stop to take a picture)

Daddy coming down a slide. If you were slick pants you can just fly down these.

The summer is over

2009-09-29T15:12:00.002-05:00

I just realized that is has been since June since I have put up pictures of Emma. I am sorry!!!!

Emma's favorite thing is to play with her Daddy. She tackles him, lays on him, jumps on him, I am usually laughing to hard to actually get the playing on camera but here is a picture of her doing what he is doing....playing with the remote.

Emma also loves to play in the laundry baskets. Sterling pulls her around it.

Emma learned to climb this summer. It is totally my fault and i take full responsibility because I take her to the mall or climbing places or the park every week if not several times a week.

She even learned to climb up on the furniture. This is the table behind the couch...it has a ledge that is perfect baby climbing height (luckily after one time out visit she hasnt ever tried this again!!!)
Emma has also started climbing up into the kitchen chairs and then climbing into her high chair. Their will never be a picture of this because i am always running to stop her or catch her and never for the camera.

On a side note.... I was at the fancy shmancy mall letting Emma play one day and when i came out to get in the car and go home guess what i saw????
Yup...that is a Burberry VW bug. and please note that the liscence plate says giglez... I couldnt stop laughing at this car and all my mom could say is "I want one!"

BYU vs OU

2009-09-07T13:15:00.001-05:00

My Uncle Chuck and his daughter Candace who married my friend Jarred all came in town for the BYU game. Emily and the new boyfriend Adam were also at the game but they got standing room only seats.
This picture is the view from the standing room only seats that Emily and Adam had. We switched them half way thru the 3rd quarter so we could be closer to the door so we could leave ASAP to get home to the babysitter who could no put Emma to bed.

We were just about to leave the Cowboys stadium parking lot when we looked back and you could still see the huge screen. I tried to take a picture with sterling in it to get a good measurement of the thing, but you cant see the screen from the camera on my phone.

We had a blast and could not be happier that BYU won. It made paying for a babysitter and parking worth it!!! Go Cougs!!!

A happy ending to a tragic week

2009-07-13T19:55:00.003-05:00

Last Tues. Sterling found out that at 6am Mon. they were coming to rescan his inventory (a kind of reassurance that nothing else is missing after they fired the guy that guy that stole everything).

So he was at work from thurs thru mon from 5am to anywhere from 6pm to 9pm). To add to that on thurs morning when he was leaving (at 5am) he told me goodbye, i heard the garage door go up, and then i hear a thud!!! I decided to just lay there for a minute and see what came next. Sterling came back in to tell me that the garage door had buckled inbetween two panels and it had ripped all the screws out on the roller. Thus....no garage door.

Luckily on Friday Sterling found someone that would sell us JUST the garage door for a pretty cheap price and they delivered it in 1 hr. Fabulous, we think we are doing ok, sterling is gone alot, but after monday everything will be fine, he can put up the new door.

Well, It was also my weekend to work and I borrowed a Michael Jackson Number One Hits CD. from my friend at work so i can burn it to my ipod. Well it was late going home on sat. night and i knew sterling was asleep so i couldnt call and talk to him, so i decided to put the cd in my cd player. It went in.....and wouldnt play and wouldnt come out, NOTHING.

I decided i would just get online and try to buy the cd. Yep, still sold out everywhere!! I would have had to buy her 3 cd's to make up for all the songs that were on the one cd. My only option was to pack Emma up and go to Sterlings work and have him take out my radio (i have a built in 6 cd changer) and then take apart the cd player to get out the cd. Ok, but remember he is at work and has to help customer so this takes over 1 hr. and we are at a car parts store, not fun for mommy or baby.

To make this long story short, CD recovered, radio put back (no cd player though), inventory went great and Sterling didnt lose his job, and the following is Sterling dancing to Michael Jackson while putting up the new garage door, because who can not get up and dance to Michael Jackson.

Emma's favorite things

2009-06-20T17:31:00.002-05:00

Before Auntie Em moved out, Emma use to LOVE to go in her room and get into all of her purses

Emma's newest trick is to go into rooms, shut the door completly, scream at the top of her lungs, and then when you come open the door, give you her biggest smile!!!

Unroll the toliet paper and then pull on the empty roll with all of her might until the spring comes loose and she can wear the cardboard as a braclet.

play on her new jungle gym. she has actually learned to climb up the slide all byherself.

and of course the number one thing is to open the dryer and pull all the clothes out and carry them throughout the house. (if only she could fold!!!)

Las Vegas

2009-06-08T21:28:00.003-05:00

So a whole week ago (i am becoming a horrible blogger) we got back from las vegas. Sterlings little brother (he is single!!) took some amazing pictures and i just wanted to share.

This is Emma playing with her new choochoo train her Grandma got her. All she wanted to do was STAND on the seat.
This is one of my favorite pictures. It really captures her everyday just hanging out, i am just a happy kid face.

One day we were bored and Emma needed to let out some energy so we took her to a park. Luckily for Emma her Uncle Steven took her down the slide (he is single also!!!!) He and Emma love each other to death, although she did NOT love the slide.

At the same park the had a spray park, so we let Emma just walk around in and she could not have been happier.
I love this picture it shows that she just loves the water and is not afraid to get in and get wet.

(Please notice the cute girl behind Emma....she was more then double the size of Emma (who is in the 90th % for her height. I asked that little girls mom how old she was because she was really cute and wanted to be friends with emma.......You will never guess she turned 2 the day before this picture!!!!!)

Emma's 1st birthday

2009-05-15T07:58:00.003-05:00

(I am very sorry to Nana that these took a week to post)

Emma's friends that came to celebrate her birthday with her. Of all the toys at my house everyone loves this little ball popper, what cracks me up is that Emma NEVER plays with it on her own. Then we sang happy birthday, but there are no pictures of her destroying cake, because she got a little freaked out. Birthday cake, not a hit at my house (it was fine by me and sterling because then we got to eat all the cupcakes). We did try to give her another cupcake later without a candle and she still wanted nothing to do with it. Then we opened presents. Emma didnt really want to help me open her presents, she wanted to play with her GiGi or her friends. I am just glad that someone took this cute pictures with my camera (thank you to however it was). Its about all i have from her birthday that represents birthday.

After her bottle and nap, she woke up a very happy baby so we got her presents out again and let her play with them. I put on this adorable apron that Gray's mom made and she loved it. She walked around the house with it on for about an hour. Even now she brings it to me and tries to put it on. (she is become such a girl lately)

The next day after church I thought this was such a cute picture of her playing with her new toys all at once.

Thanks to everyone for making Emma's birthday sooo much fun. Be waiting for more pictures. We had her 1 yr pictures taking a few days ago and they are SOOOO cute!!!!

Butterflies

2009-05-15T07:51:00.003-05:00

At one of the malls, was a butterfly exhibit and my mom was dying to take Emma. I figured she was fascinated with ladybugs so we would see how she did with butterflies.

It was in a tent (like the size of a 12 man tent) and their were close to 200 butterflies just hanging out on the ceiling, walls, the potted flowers. Most of them were monarch butterflies...

But a few were obino butterflies and they loved Emma's bow. they landed on it the second we walked in and we had to take them off of her when we left.
Emma had to touch every single butterfly that she saw. and she would get soooo excited when she did. i just wish i had caught the look on her face.

i thought the whole thing was just amazing. Emma loved it and i hope she did not cause any major heart attacks among the butterflies that she caught in her cute little hands.

Life as I know it....

2009-05-02T20:08:00.002-05:00

.....IS OVER!!!!!!!!! She walks!!! She has been walking for about a week now. But i am usually on the receiving end of the Emma, so it is really hard to catch it on film. So for our Sat. night activity....catch emma walking on film.

Easter pictures

2009-04-20T11:55:00.002-05:00

Easter weekend was kinda bust at our house. I thought it was going to be the perfect weekend (since it is my favorite holiday) but it was just ok. We took Emma to a bluebonnet field and in my head i was going to have the cutest pictures EVER!!! Well it started like this. Ok she is smiling, but the wind is blowing and she is more involved with the flowers then with looking at me. So i tried to reposition myself on the ground so i would be closer to her.....

.....but while i was moving, the wind blow a flower and it touched her foot. So now she is afraid of the flowers. And the next two pictures are the best that i got. I am going to try again this week and we will see what happens.

As afraid as she is of the flowers, she was all to excited to play with the lady bugs.

Then Easter Sunday she missed her morning nap. She wasnt as bad as i thought she would be, but she was not about to just sit and let her mama take a picture. So, I figured that any picture in her dress would be ok, It turned out ok. (Warning, this dress is probably going to be used for her 1 year pictures, since i didnt get the cute easter picture i wanted.)

Our Adventures

2009-04-09T21:27:00.002-05:00

I am off this week and I am determined to get things done. The most important on my list is the yard. It has been a thorn in my side since we moved in, and between work and the weather it has taken me almost 5 months to finish it. (pictures to come dont worry)

I am finally to the point of putting mulch down but i ran out. So yesturday when i had sterling to help me, i thought i had the perfect day planned. When Emma woke up from her morning nap we would go to Home Depot, get the rest of the mulch and then go down the highway to Costco and get what we needed from there and then home. We have a pretty big truck and i figured hey, we will load the back up with the mulch and then put the costco stuff on the floor inbetween the front seat and the bench. Ok well they have a car seat on sale at costco and so we decided to get it along with all of our other things that ended up being more then expected.

I would like to call these pictures: "Where's Emma????"

As you can see we really needed the car seat, Emma has seriously out grown the carrier and she is only 11 months old (today by the way).

So in doing all my yard work i ended up giving Emma her Easter present a little early. I needed to put her somewhere to do yard work and she ABSOLUTELY loves this wagon.

So much has happened

2009-03-30T22:49:00.004-06:00

So here is our life in pictures this past week:

TUESDAY Morning Sterling was home and Emma was sooooooooo happy. But daddy was outside and forgot to take his hat off when he came inside, so she attacked him like she always does.

(Sorry this picture is sideways-i am not sure what happened and it is way to late to spend time fixing it. ) Emma thinks she looks better in hats then her daddy.

Daddy leaves for work and in flies the ducks. They literally just swam around for 2 hours. Then Emma started banging on the window and they flew away.

WEDNESDAY-morning Sterling had to hurry and mow the lawn and Emma followed him from window to window around the house.

SUNDAY- oh what a great day it was. My mom just went to New York and got me this AMAZING purse, I love the color and I love how big it is. Sterling is proving how big the purse is by putting our 21 pound 29 inch long child in the purse. Hey in my eyes....throw in my wallet, cell phone, a few diapers, some wipes and since the kid is already packed in and ready go it is now the worlds perfect purse!!!

Emma has become such an entertainer lately. She loves to talk and dance and she does so many faces, so i thought i would capture a few. Dont mind my head, but FINALLY we have a picture of the top teeth.

And finally I feel like i captured her smiles that just melt my heart.

Emma at GG's

2009-03-10T12:02:00.004-06:00

So for those of you that dont know we call my mom GG (Grandma Gunn). She just loves Emma to death, and I am pretty sure that she has probably told a stranger that this child is hers and not her grand baby. That is how obsessed she is. (she even sends Emma text messages)

On of my moms favorite things to do is to have Emma play on the piano. She thinks that if she lets Emma play it now that she will want to play it later, since all of her own girls HATED playing the piano. (I am hoping that Emma gets bored of the piano by the age of umm....2 and NEVER wants to play)
I just saw all of these pictures on my moms camera last night so i hurried to down load them but most of them are a few weeks old. GG gets to babysite Emma while Sterling goes to class and GG gives Sterling a VERY VERY VERY hard time for how she is dressed (mostly that she is not dressed warm enough) so one night when it was really really cold here this is what she looked like. (She has gloves on also, but still no coat)
Abbie lives at GG's house. But Emma LOVES Abbie and even follows her around the house saying "Ab...Ab....Ab" GG believes that Emma is going to say Abbie any day now.

Abbie does love Emma back. Know that Emma can crawl Abbie loves to get Emma to chase her. So Abbie gives her a little nudge and takes off, but the first couple of times it shocks Emma and she gets a little scared. I am sure this way funnier to my family members, but i hope you all enjoy.

WOW...such a happy baby!!

2009-02-27T10:33:00.003-06:00

The longest blog ever!!!!

2009-01-23T00:35:00.005-06:00

So I had to stay up tonight and post some pictures before certain family member attack me. (Plus it has almost been a WHOLE month...where does the time go????)

For christmas we went to Las Vegas to be with Sterlings family and had a picture taken of the whole family. Emma in her christmas outfit. (she is a present....see the bow on her head)
So since we have been home, Emma has grown by leap and bounds. She is currently 8 1/2 months old (i just thought the other night I still cant believe i have a child). She loves to go for rides on her daddy...and she has a serious obsession with his hat.

She did officially get her two bottom front teet (christmas week while we are on vacation...wasnt so bad though). I literally tried everyday for about 3 weeks to get a picture of the teeth. So finally i decided to be a horrible parent! I just held her down and held her lips apart so that my sister could take a picture. I just love the horror in my childs eyes.

Emma has gone through various stages of moving around. she loved to get under th coffee table, so we just moved it. I just really love this picture, it shows her great smile

Emma has also learned that she can pull up on us and then let go. She is completly afraid of falling but she loves to stand up by herself.

For those family memebers that know the crazy living/sleeping arrangements we have had with this child you will be glad to know that Emma is sleeping in her own bed in her own room. And since she has learned to crawl and sit up all byherself we find her in very weird sleeping positions. This is the screaming child position i got to wake up to the other morning.

And finally proof that she can crawl!!! (this is the most stubborn/spoiled child around) She has been able to crawl for a few weeks, but she wouldnt because ...... there was not point. she knew if she just sat there and screamed loud enough one of the three adults in the house would come pick her up. trust me...we know we are going to dread the teenage years.

All I want for Christmas is...

2008-12-25T14:11:00.002-06:00

...my TWO front teeth!!! She got her two bottom teeth this week, just in time for Christmas. This picture comes all the way from Las Vegas were we are actually having a chilly christmas. Emma had an AMAZING christmas. We forgot to take pictures because we were all enjoying the moment.

More pictures to come of our vacation and family parties.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Christmas 2008

2008-12-16T12:26:00.003-06:00

I can't believe that 2008 is over already and that i have a 7 month old!!! Man how time flies.

This is Emma doing her absolute favorite thing. She LOVES!!!! to play in the bath tub.

We took Emma to see santa. She loved all the people around her, i just wish that we had gone earlier so that she could have spent more time with Santa. They were rushing WAY to fast and she was literally on his lap for 35 seconds. SAD!!!! She didnt even have time to figure out what was going on and then smile.

moving and christmas shopping

2008-12-07T16:08:00.004-06:00

So for those of you that dont know, we moved to a house in Allen. Moving was a very big adventure. (if you are mailing christmas cards before you get mine in the mail, please let me know if you need my address)

Emma on the day we were painting her room.

Sterling just kept pilling things on when we were moving. i thought this site was just to funny to not take a picture!!!!!

Daddy and Emma playing on the new couch!!!!

The day after Thanksgiving my mom, emma, and i went to the Gallery for shopping. It was amazing especially since we got there in the perfect time to watch the lighting of the tree.

Here is Emma looking at all the people around her.

Emma and I with the tree

We went to go see all the nativity sets at the Allen stake center. Emma just loved all the poinsetta's

2008-11-17T12:46:00.006-06:00

Stats:

Halloween

2008-11-03T07:33:00.002-06:00

I was sooo happy to not have to work on Halloween. In the morning i went to Early Vote and the church it was at had a pumpkin patch so i took a few pictures. I just loved the little pumpkin cap, even though everyone all day long was asking how old my little boy was.

Emma was a flower. i loved this costume except that it only stayed on for about 30 minutes. It was almost 80 here on Halloween so a stuffed costume got a little hot.

Utah

2008-10-30T10:49:00.003-06:00

The last weekend in October I went to Utah with my mom to see my sisters, my grandparents, aunts, uncles, and a few cousins. We had a blast and did tons of shopping. After church on Sunday her ar some pictures that we took.

This is Emily who was grumpy at the whole idea but after this pictures she smiled a little more.
This picture was captured while i was trying to get Emma to smile

OH NOOOOOOO!!!!

2008-10-19T16:47:00.001-05:00

Can you believe it!!!!

2008-10-16T14:12:00.002-05:00

FIVE months old. She loves....
.......Naps on the couch

....Dumping her toys out so she can play with them all at once
...putting her binki in her toes and then trying to get it back in her mouth.

P.S. (i just noticed that i do not have a bow in her hair once in any of these pictures. Emma wears a bow in her hair EVERYDAY!!!!!)

Are you kidding????

2008-10-07T09:02:00.003-05:00

My daughter is eating a pickle. She kept reaching for my hand while i was eating a pickle so i just put it to her lips thinking she would not like it and leave me alone. Oh no, she sucked the thing down. Eventually Sterling took her from me so i could finish eating and she grabbed his pickle off his plate and finished the whole thing. We were in shock and had the whole Corner Bakery eating area talking in shock about us.

FINALLY!!!!!!!!!

2008-10-02T16:39:00.002-05:00

Sterling got his promotion today. Things are a little different then we thought. They had to fire a store manager this week so they moved all the store managers around and Sterling will be going to the Wylie/Murphy store. (this is good because Mckinney is now not going to open until Nov.)

I am soooooo happy for my husband.!!!!

This was my morning

2008-09-29T09:45:00.004-05:00

I am just glad I dont have a bigger dog. I am in trouble when the kid gets bigger.

Emma loves her FEET!!!!

2008-09-26T13:23:00.002-05:00

She has tricks

2008-09-15T08:57:00.004-05:00

She loves to sit in front of the mirror and play with the baby!!!

She sticks her tongue out 24/7. I feel like i have Gene Simmons baby, and the drool is everywhere.

We cant decide if she is puffing her cheeks out or concentrating on sitting or concentrating on something else.
And finally....she sits. I couldnt be happier. I think she sat for a whole minute on sat. while we were trying to take some pictures for Grammy.
If we put the towel hood over her head , she shakes it back and forth until she pops out. It makes us laugh so hard.
She rolls over in about a second now. if you just pretend like you are going to lay her down on her stomach she starts rolling over in your arms.

She eats....she likes the cereal she just HATES the spoon. I am have tempted to just let her put her hands in the bowl and then suck on them, I think she would actually get more that way.

Sorry

2008-09-12T16:21:00.002-05:00

For all of those that did read my post from yesturday, it apprently came out totally wrong. I was really mad at people at work that were just sitting and doing nothing while i was working my tushy off!!!! I was also mad at myself for the simple fact that I just could not say anything to them. It got me thinking and out came my post.

I read on a blog once that you should wait 24 hours to blog about something because sometimes the feeling of the true incident comes off a little differently. It is absoletely true.

I am not sad about anything. Actually my life is pretty wonderful right now (except for work but when is that ever wonderful!)

I love all my friends and i loved the feeling i had when i saw that i had so many comments about that post but then i felt horrible that i came off soooooo wrong.

I want to cry...

2008-09-02T17:02:00.003-05:00

I am at work right now, just sitting in my new iv room all dressed up like i am going into surgery, just sitting here...me and my computer.

Sterling calls me, yeah a little smile. To tell me that he put Emma down for her nap on her tummy and when he heard her talking he went in to get her and she was on her back. She rolled over all by herself and absolutely no one was there to see it!!!

I want to cry because i am at work and not at home witnessing my babies first things.

I have a stalker

2008-08-29T08:53:00.003-05:00

She follows me everywhere i go. Even sitting with her daddy she has to know where i am at all times. I have never felt so loved.

Two weeks ago, we went on another date...to the exact same place we took our last date. The Rough Riders. Medical Center of Plano is one of the sponsers of the Rough Riders so the Pharmacy gets to use the box for a few games each year and I finally got to get tickets when we had it. We had a blast and thanks a million to GG that stayed home with Emma.

Today little Emma is 4 months old (well really only 16 weeks) and we had the cutest pictures taken of her. I just love them.

Late night photo shoot

2008-08-22T11:41:00.004-05:00

We were just hanging out on our bed and Emma looked tooooooo cute to not take pictures. Plus it has been awhile since I have put up any pictures.

P.S. Emma finally initiated her Daddy into fatherhood. I could not have been happier.

OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!!!

2008-08-04T09:52:00.003-05:00

I worked a ton last week (against my will) and so Sterling decided to show me what Emma learned while I was at work. I am actually sooooooooooo happy I couldnt stop laughing.

When I tried to get her to look at the camera she would only give me this face, but it shows how well she is sitting in his hand.

My new favorite picture with my little girl even though she wont smile directly at the camera. (yes and for those of you looking I cute 12 inches of hair off on Sat. I wanted something new and someone offered me a free hair cut.)

Some one gave me a Bumbo chair, and we love it!!! Look at that smile.

My cutie in her sunday outfit. Thanks Grammy.

Swimming

2008-07-30T17:51:00.003-05:00

Emma went swimming (please ignore the big dude holding the baby)
Daddy killing himself to blow up the floaty.

Mommy helping Emma float. Her diaper filling up with water didnt help her, I guess i am going to have to break down and buy the swim diapers.

Utah

2008-07-22T13:49:00.004-05:00

Sorry i have not blogged in so long. We went to Utah for Sterling's brothers (Stuart) wedding and the day after we got back I had to go back to work. I am posting some pictures of the wedding so that all my friends can get a full visual of the stories that I have told them about our wonderful vacation.

The night before the wedding we had a BBQ at a park and Sterling did all the cooking on the grill (his favorite past time) in his other life I swear he was a cook. The little girl is the youngest of his 64 first cousins, Paige, which is one of his favorites.

I pretty much spent my time at the BBQ holding Emma while she took her nap and this was were I got told I was a horrible mother by the bride's mother because I had my little baby outside.
Outside the Bountiful temple (which is now one of my favorites because it really is absolutely beautiful inside and out). Sterling is with his youngest brother (there are only 4 boys in is family) Spencer. For those of you looking this is the best picture to notice the colors of the wedding!!!! STerling is sporting what they are suppose to be wearing and Spencer is wearing what the tux shop gave them.
Finally a picture of just the two of us. I honestly never thought that would happen again.
All the brothers from youngest on the left to oldest on the right. (Spencer, Stuart, Sterling, and Steven.) Sterling is the tallest, but Steven stood up one step so that he would look taller then his little brothers.

This picture is just for those of you that only see the serious side of my husband. In the next picture down you will see all the brothers holding the bride, this is how my husband decided to get ready. (He is not talking about how big she is, its just the bride thought that four guys, all waying over 200 pounds that can all bench over 100 pounds each, might drop her. Her photographer informed her that the big guy could probably hold her by himself.)

You can see that she is still scared in the picture by how she is!!! Plus i love that the strongest brother is only holding her feet, and the smallest brother is holding her head. Why dont these boys ever listen to me. I am just guessing that this is not going to be the bride's favorite picture.

We are now at the reception and Emma is spending a little time with her favorite Uncle Steven. Please notice that they are making the same face. Steven thought it would be cute if they had the same face.

So here are the new Wagners with all the other siblings. Yes I am still the shortest and the oldest in the family.

4th of July

2008-07-07T09:35:00.002-05:00

Our first post baby date

2008-06-30T11:31:00.004-05:00

Sterling and I finally went on a date and we went without the baby. It was a lot easier then i thought it would be. We went to a celebrity baseball game but it started to rain so we left and went to dinner at a new place and the food was just ok. So we went and got ice cream and it was fabulous and then we came home at 10:30 to a sleeping baby that slept until 6:00 the next morning. So the beginning started out a little out dissapointing but it ended up being the best night ever.

New Do

2008-06-24T19:02:00.002-05:00

Grandma couldnt take it anymore, Emma had to have a bow!!!

P.S. Emma is all smiles now

Sleeping Emma

2008-06-17T14:26:00.004-05:00

Lately we have become aware that Emma is getting use to being held. So we are working on different ways of getting her to sleep.

Daddy rocking her to sleep on fathers day!!!

Today I just laid her in her bed and I was not going in there no matter what until she went to sleep. She actually just sat there for about 1/2 hour and then when it was quite this is what i found.

Blessing day

2008-06-12T17:24:00.003-05:00

Emma Wagner, blessed Sun. June 8th

Thanks Grandma Cooley for my big white blessing dress.
Emma thinks she is sooooooo cute that she just has to smile when she knows she is wearing a big white bow.
The children did not want to take this picture. We are such mean parents.
Four generations. (it is really scarry to know what i am going to look like when i get old!!!)

Emma meets her grandparents

2008-06-12T17:19:00.003-05:00

Learning to smile

2008-05-30T11:35:00.004-05:00

We are working on getting Emma to smile. She is still pretty young, but hey its worth trying isnt it???

She went from looking like this

To looking like this!!

Emma's tricks

2008-05-24T14:08:00.003-05:00

My sister Emily keeps asking when she will finally be able to do "tricks". I keep reminding her that this is my kid and not a dog. She did learn ...

...To hold her binky when she is not sucking on it and..

....to sleep with her dad

One week old

2008-05-17T10:19:00.002-05:00

Emma still sucks her thumb. She can be going to town on her pacifier and then all of a sudden I turn around the binky is out and the thumb is in. My grandma Gunn (parkcity grandma for those of you that know her) YELLED at me and said that I better let her suck her thumb. It is to cute to not let them.

Emma

2008-05-13T17:53:00.004-05:00

Introducing Emma. Weighing in at 7 lbs 11oz. (Yeah everyone lost there bets!!!) And she is only 20 inches long but she is all legs, toes and fingers.

Emma first dressed picture with Dad (hopefully him being on the phone is a one time thing) and yes that is her thumb in her mouth.

Emma's first outfit. She was a little freaked out and was having a "I can't move" moment

Deep in thought!!!
Power to the people!!!

We were giving her a tour of the house but she didnt want to pay attention.

Baby update

2008-05-07T17:15:00.005-05:00

Just to let everyone know. I am having a C-section on Friday morning at 7:30am. Baby Emma is just to big for me to try to this the old fashioned way. How big you ask?? Well the Dr. bet Sterling that Emma will be 8lbs 8oz. (remember i am doing this two weeks early) Any one else wanting to make a bet?

The story of my life!!

2008-04-28T10:01:00.003-05:00

My friend Brooke put this on her blog and it seriously tells the story of my life right now. We could be buying baby stuff....but of course we have to own 2 SUV's. you really dont want to know what our gas bill is. Luckily I am not working so one car is not being driven!!!

If I stop eating will Emma stop growing???

2008-04-25T15:56:00.003-05:00

So i had another appointment today. My doctor felt my belly and started laughing!!! She says if she was going to bet on this baby she would put money down on over 8 pounds because Emma is already over 7 lbs. Then she looked at my last sonogram pictures and said well she has cute chubby cheeks. Thanks doc. I am officialy scared. but at least I only have 12 more days.

p.s. i grew 4 cm in 1 week. If i stop eating will she stop growing???

update.....

2008-04-18T14:20:00.002-05:00

19 days...i promise i am not counting!!!!!

(for those of you that dont know yet...they moved my due date to May 7th!!!!)

Do I have to...

so i have officially been home from work for 1 week. I went to the Dr. today and she said i still need to stay home on bedrest. REALLY!!!! I know some people get sick of bedrest, and maybe because I still am up doing somethings, I could really get use to this whole staying at home thing. Please everyone keep praying that Sterling gets his promotion before I am off maternity leave so that I can stay home all the time (or at least part time).

I am officially freaking out....

I am on official bedrest. I have had the world's best pregnancy until last Thursday. I went in for my 34 week check up and about 30 minutes later I was checking into the hospital. (It's a good thing I took pregnant pictures and actually blogged about it before my appointment.)

I have severe hypertension and tomorrow I find out if it is preclampsia. I went from having perfect blood pressure to having borderline "at risk" blood pressure in less then two weeks. I am on bed rest to keep my blood pressure "at normal" so that it does not start to affect the baby. I know that this is nothing really to worry about because lots of women get it, but at my check up today the doctor moved my due date to May 7th. I thought I had 5 weeks to get ready for this baby and now I have 3!!!

Ok, I need to go rest because everytime i think about it in my head i know my blood pressure goes up.

Whose belly is bigger?

I vote Sterling.

I finally took a pregnant picture. I never wanted a picture taken of me but I figured that I better at least have one so that I can prove to my daughter that she was the wiggly thing inside of me!

Which is better?

2008-04-09T10:55:00.003-05:00

I can't decide which one is better. to count all the things that i have left to do and see the list keep getting longer and longer, or to pat myself on the back and say "look how much i have already done!"

i think i will keep patting myself on the back for now!

49 days and counting...

not me of course!!!!

Where have all the bloggers gone???

2008-04-02T07:12:00.000-06:00

So now that every single one of my friends has a blog, why has everyone seriously slowed down there blogging??? We are all so busy, trust me I know!!! But, if the only way that we have to stay in touch is our blogs, then we have to keep them up to date, right???

I am soooo lucky!!

2008-03-27T11:07:00.004-06:00

It's a good thing i am already pregnant because if i wasnt i would be seriously baby hungry right now. This is what i get to sit and stare at all morning long. I tell her all the time that she is the cutest baby in the whole wide world and then she gives me a cute little smile! (I think her dad is in for some trouble!)

Has anyone seen my husband...

2008-03-18T12:00:00.002-06:00

I have been soooo busy the last 2 weeks. Since i started babysitting the cutest baby ever last week and then still work at night, among all the other things going on, I feel like I dont even get to see Sterling anymore. I know that everyone says absence makes the heart grow stronger, but it also makes it very lonely and kinda achey.

We finally had a weekend off together this last weekend, but only because we both had to ask for time off so that we could go to childbirth classes. 14 hours total of learning everything we didnt know that we didnt know. The best part was learning the relaxation techniques and we had to keep tickling each other to keep from falling asleep. Plus, as much as you know you need to be learning the stuff, the breathing part is a little weird.

Well.....we had a 3d sonogram yesturday and it was pretty amazing. The best part of the day is that we are 100% sure that we are having a girl. The problem is that she is curled up into a little bity ball and facing into my spinal cord, which is how she has been the whole entire pregnancy. So we only got a few shots of her but here is what we did get.
