Easter morning we woke up and I quickly went out side and "hid" some easter eggs. Emma had so much fun finding them that daddy put them back out side and "hid" them. It was a blast watching her get so excited. She was mostly excited about the candy inside of them.
Easter weekend we had some visitors stay with us. Chris' brother, Kyle, got his girlfriend a pug and he loved her so much that he had to get himself one as well. They were really good dogs, though I would never want to have one. Zeke was very curious when they came over that he followed them wherever they went. Well, over the weekend Zeke had a little wrestling buddy. He was pretty fun to watch. We told Kyle that they are welcome anytime here. I know Zeke wouldn't mind.
Wanna Dance!
Body Slam!!!
Ha ha ha! You are no match for my kitty power.
Daddy was undressing Emma to put PJ's on and left her shirt on. She loved her new hat.
Emma at Lake Havisu picking up a rock to throw it in the water. That was her favorite thing to do there.

Emma at the park. We went to the mall and had some really good pizza then went to the park that was right next to it. It had shooting water and this little playground. It was fun. It was beautiful. While we were in Arizona it was snowing in Kansas. We were happy to miss the snow.
Our first day in Lake Havisu and we went on the boat. Emma was super tired after the drive and fell asleep on the boat. Silly girl. I was afraid she was going to get sick, but she didn't.
This was a truck that we passed. Very interesting.
Zeke is getting his first hair cut. He was shedding like crazy and would lick up the hair from the carpet, so his fur had to go. I think he is happier now.
Emma looking at all of her stuffed animals that she put in the car seat.
Wait a minute, that stuffed animal looks an awful lot like Zeke!
Chris putting his man on chopping down the shrubs in the back yard. We are making more room in our yard for bigger and better things, like a garden, no mosquitos and cool stuff like that.
More Changes
Well, I was just released as the Nursery Leader. Last tuesday night the ward clerk or whatever he is, called me and told me that the bishop wanted to talk to me. I guessed for what reason. He called me to be the secretary in Young Women's. I am excited, but sad to leave nursery. I had all of these cool things that I was starting to do in there that I finished and was almost finished with that I won't be able to carry out, but I will do them with Emma for FHE. Then on sunday the first counselor in the bishopric came in to nursery and said that he wanted to talk to me, so I go and talk to him. He then released me from Choir Director. This was a surprise. I was really sad to be released from that calling. I was having a lot of fun. I asked why I was being released from that calling and he told me that being a secretary is a lot of work and that I need to be released. Come on! one hour on Sunday for practice and sing once a month in sacrament, but, the Lord knows what he is doing. Oh well! I can still go to choir and be a part of it.
Potty Training
Emma is potty trained! FINALLY!!! One day I decided that it was time to do it. I put her on the toilet and read book after book until she went potty then got her off and set the timer for an hour later. That went on for a couple of days. Then a miracle happened! She told me that she had to go potty. So we would run to the bathroom and I would put her on it and sometimes I would have to turn on the water to help her out a little bit, and she would go. Awesome! Her reward each time was to put a sticker on her paper that I put on the door in front of the toilet so she could see it, then I would give her two m&m's. She loved being rewarded so much. She has only had two accidents! Now she lets me know every time she has to go. I am so happy. She only wears pull-ups during naps and bed time. Now during naps she doesn't wet in them. Success!!! It is such an awesome feeling to know that diapers are over with... for now!
Sonogram
May 3rd we find out what we are having. My guess is that it is a boy since it has been making me sick! Any other guesses? I am really excited to finally be pregnant again. I can feel the baby move now. Chris can't quite feel it yet. I am glad that the sickness is gone and that I can eat whatever I want again without wanting to throw up.
Every time I ask Emma where her baby is she points to her stomach. She is so adorable. She is going to be an awesome big sister. She is such a good little girl.
