Sweet Emma

Emma just brought me her ipod & with tears in her eyes told me to watch a video of Taylor Swift, who is her favorite. The video is called "the best day" and here is the link http://www.cmt.com/videos/taylor-swift/377565/the-best-day.jhtml because I can't figure out how to post the video. It's quite long. She has such a soft heart and that brings tears to my eyes. Love that girl :)

This is what happens when you tease your GB Packer loving uncles with a Denver Broncos beanie.

The band




Every year on Christmas Eve we have a get together with the Cook family. This year everyone was there except for Staci, Trent & kids, we missed you all. The boys (Cam, Cale & Jesse) were the hosts, we enjoyed a dinner of Prime Rib & cheesy potatoes. After dinner we played Country Band on the Wii. It was so much fun! The kids had a good time singing, dancing & getting rid of their Christmas excitement. After, we played a white elephant game. It's always fun to get together as family. Can't wait 'til next year!







12 things about Jacsyn


Jacsyn had her first birthday on December 11. So I would like to write 12 random things about Jacsyn.
1. She loves, loves, loves her dada. It doesn't matter what is going on, when he walks into the room he lights up her world.
2. She is a screamer!
3. She adores her big sisters.
4. She has 4 teeth. 2 on top & 2 on bottom, all of which came in within a day of each other in August!
5. She can say yah (yes), ba (bottle), dada, mama, ma (Emma), horse, puppy & fish. She whispers sounds. She shakes her head back and forth for no, but doesn't say it quite yet.
6. She is on a routine. EXAMPLE: up at 8am, nap at 11 or 12 for 2-3 hours, dinner at 5pm and ready for bed by 8pm.
7. She stands by herself and has taken a few steps on her own, but does not walk.
8. She is can play by herself.
9. She loves music. She dances (sways side to side) when there is music playing.
10. She hates anything on her head. That makes it difficult for me to dress her up & put a big headband with a bow or flower on her head.
11. She hates her toes played with. Let me explain. Jeremy loves to pop the girls toes. Gross I know. He does the 10 little pigs nursery rhyme and pops each toe. Madi & Emma both let him do it to there toes, Jacsyn does not! Do not get close, you might get kicked.
12. She is still likes to be held & will snuggle when she is tired. So sweet!
