Embleton Family

Sunday, January 10, 2010

Woah. How time flies. I cannot believe we will be adding a sweet little girl to our family in only six weeks. So much has happened since our last post, I don't even know where to start. So instead I have posted TONS of pictures:)

Owen's fourth birthday!

Steph helped me make an awesome Spiderman cake!

Yummy ice cream cake for my 27th birthday:)

We had a great time at North Padre beach in July

with cousins and Grandma and Grandpa.

Owen LOVED the sand!

He thought the salt water tasted gross.

"Pleh, pleh" he said the first time he got a taste.

First time also being wiped out by a small wave

Owen started preschool this year! What a big boy:)

Mommy is so proud!

Laney's first Halloween costume,

Weekly pictures starting at around 15 weeks when

I could no longer wear normal jeans.

Last week at 33 weeks

Owen wanted a picture too, we willingly obliged.

Except we didn't quite expect this pose:)

He took a deep breath then let his belly hang all out!

Family pictures for Christmas, we didn't want

to pay a professional because we will be going again

in February/March with Laney. So we set up a makeshift "studio"

in Laney's room and shot away with the self timer.

The Costco photo lab technician asked for

the photographer's copywright. What? Are you serious?!?!

Owen is getting so BIG.

He can't wait to be a big brother:)

He has now finally perfected the pronunciation of her name.

He couldn't quite say Laney, it would come out "Lamey".

Great, I guess we know what her nickname will be when she starts school;)

Love you all!!! PS for all those still anxiously awaiting

our Christmas/New Year's letter.

It will be coming in March as a birth announcement, postage is expensive:)

Well, where do I start. Not too much has changed in the Embleton home in the months the blog has fallen by the wayside. Owen turned four in March and is as enthusiastic and energetic as ever. Eli has gone back to studying full-time while Sarah continues to work in the newborn nursery. Sarah just recently got a new calling to be the enrichment leader and is very excited to go back to regularly attending sunday school and relief society after 2 years. Lately we have enjoyed making our house more our own. We, meaning Sarah (I'm very non-committal with paint, it always looks so different on the chip!!!!!), finally decided on painting the house something other than white. We will post pictures of that soon!!! Really, we will:) In the meantime enjoy the following pictures of various events and holidays. Reader beware, six months worth of pictures found below.

For playgroup we went to Little Chef Academy where Owen learned to make cinnamon sugar tortilla chips and fruit salsa!
