Babies Everywhere!!

My sisterest sister Tess had her little girl on Tuesday!

Happy Halloween!

Sorry this one's sideways... couldn't figure out how to rotate it.
Emmy's official first sucker. I could almost hear her teeth rotting:)
And this isn't all of it......

Emmy's second Camp Loll Trip

When we get home from camping and look through our photos, they're usually all of Emmy! We're so silly. Anyways - we had a great trip this year, and Emmy's definitely a nature lover. This is the lodge that we had all to ourselves:) We know how to camp.
We can't keep this kid dry. I was trying to fill up our water bottles, and she was determined to wash her belly button!
This is the after-breakfast-yogurt-moustache picture. She's workin' that beanie too.
No, Emmy didn't shoot while we were there, but Caleb and C.J. enjoyed taking this picture!

Another camping trip!

We headed up to the Uintah's for a lovely night of peaceful family time, and it was awesome!
Emmy has a knack for finding water and she just jumped right in this little stream. She was soaked and it was chilly out and she couldn't have cared less.
Mom's favorite place to be:)
Aw fer cute!

The great Petting Zoo Adventure!

Monkey climber baby
We couldn't believe that she would ride the horse! She totally loved it! When the ride was over she started trying to nudge the horse on!!!

She was feeding the baby goats some oats and she LOVED it!
Ooohhhh..... the bunnies!
Baby horses! She made the "Horsie" sound the whole time.

"I know I'm cool, you don't have to tell me. Pretty much."

Hooray for fresh corn-on-the-cob season!!

We have another corn-fan in the Family! She just dug right in there and cleaned it up quick
You put a camera in front of her these days and this is the smile you get - isn't she a little young to be cheesin' it?

We have an Address!!

It's official: We're local! Our new address is 1615 E 1050 N Heber City, UT 84032 So now that you know, come on over! We'll leave the light on for you.

We have a place to LIVE!!!

Against all odds we have found a place to abide in Heber City. I drove every street in that town and spent countless hours on the internet and searching newspapers and we were left with a red shack attatched to the back of another house. It had no bedrooms, just a livingroom/bedroom and kitchen. Lovely. Then we found this. I think I heard Angels singing as I pulled in the driveway. It's owned by the cutest LDS Grandparents and they rent it for a smokin deal. We're saved!! We have a spare bedroom in the basement with a queen sized bed in it, so make your reservations now! This is your new getaway! Right?! Please?!?!!

The Latest at the Kepsel abode

Emmy is the wonder baby when it comes to helping pack. As long as she can stay with her packed toys, she'll be okay.....
Here we are at the Kepsel family abode! They are living in this lovely townhome while their home is being built. It's a party!
Emmy has been practicing up on her sweet bike riding skills. This is a demonstration of the obvious talent that she has been showing lately.
Speaking of talent, this is Emmy latest chalk piece. It's a stunning rendition of Delicate Arch, found in Arches National Park, Utah. What a masterpiece.

Do dee doo.... hmm hmmm hmm....

Not a whole lot going on here, same 'ol same 'ol...... Oh well, unless you count Caleb quiting his job, attempting to finish our home in one weekend amidst packing our lives into boxes, moving halfway across the beautiful state of Utah to Heber City to live with Caleb's gracious parents, Caleb starting a new very intense job in Nano-Technology, Jayne searching for a new home for us, Emmy cutting 2 new teeth, .............. hey I guess our lives aren't so boring afterall! Really, life is excellent. How boring would it be to follow a plan all the time, right? And when Heavenly Father says that it's okay, go ahead and do it, what is there to fear? Heber is really beautiful and if we ever do find a place to live, we will be able to call it home. For now, Caleb's parent's spare bedroom is suiting us just fine. When we find our home I will post some photos and our new address!

Happy Birthday Emmy Jayne Kepsel!!

Mmmmm! Cake at the Kepsel's house on Sunday! Thanks for the great time and the gifts, Grandma and Grandpa and Aunt Katie!!
Valentine's day at Grandma Nette's house! Emmy LOVES bling bling, so she got her own purse with sparkly necklaces. She figured out right away how to put them on all by herself and she wore them for the rest of the party.
She loved the singing (that's why she's grinning) but she wasn't too sure on what to do with the cake. She tried it, but wasn't to interested. She went back to her grapes that she'd been working on....
Dig in there kiddo! A new baby doll from Aunt Hanna!
Mmmmm:) Thanks for the Valentine's Day cake, Hanna!
We just can't believe how fast her first year went, and we're so greatful for such great families and friends who share our favorite little goober with us!

We're home from the Caribbean!

Mommy and Emmy on the boat

Daddy was in a game, and won some sweet doo-rags for He and Emmy!

The "Entertainment Crew" all fell in love with Emmy, and by the end of the week they were all best buddies! Emmy was one of two babies on the whole boat, and she behaved perfectly. It seemed like everyone we passed knew her name!

She loves her Aunt Camille! (Also known as Duggy Fresh)

Emmy loved her first experience at the beach. It took her a while to get used to sand between her toes, but she loved the water!
