Perfection!!!

Our daughter, Emma, is seriously perfect...

...okay, before you throw up, I was just kidding!!  I'm obviously referring to the "Big Girl Bed" that my dad made for Emma (and a special thanks to mom for the curtains)...

Oh, and Ammon painted the entire bed and the E M M A are courtesy of my cousin, Lindsey (thanks again)...man, have I done anything to Emma's room??

Before the bed, Emma's room never looked this clean!!

It has a "tent" where I hide all Emma's big toys, but Emma thinks that she's just super cool for having a clubhouse in her room.

Behind the shopping cart is a little scooter and baby stroller...the thing is deep!  The top shelf has all of her purses, kitchen items, and playdough/crafts!

The cubbies under the stairs are also hiding tons of blankets and books.

The bottom three drawers house the rest of her toys, leaving the top one empty!

Clothes (notice the one empty drawer again) that I know she won't try on all day long.  I'm a mean mom and try to enforce the one-outfit-a-day rule.

I mean, come on, is that not the coolest bed??  Utter perfection!  :)




So I realized that we haven't updated this dang thing for a while...here's what we've been up to lately...

We went on a hike to Cathedral Rock in Sedona a few weeks ago.  The drive is a beautiful one, and only 45 min from our house.  It was a gorgeous day, and exactly what we all needed!  Here we are having an Oreo break!  :)


Emma loves being outdoors like her Daddy.  During the steep hike, she was reminding her Daddy that she was climbing rocks just like him.  :)  Ammon actually climbed to the top of Cathedral Rock in the background on a different trip.


We were in the valley during President's Day weekend so Ammon could paint Emma's bed.  We went to Sakana, a teppenyaki restaurant for Ammon's birthday (which is on the 28th, if you need a reminder :)).  After a fabulous meal, they brought out this cat, a sugarless ice cream, and sang a Japanese-ish Happy Birthday.  The night was a success!  :)  Natsukashii!

Even Madi and her friend Stef parted from their boyfriends long enough to join the family dinner.  :)

Isn't this the CUTEST picture EVER???

So this pic is random, but I thought it was amazing!  This was dinner on Valentine's Day.  A heart-shaped pizza from Papa Murphy's!  YUMMY!  We are doing this every year!  :)
