Weekend Project

Happy MLK day! In the Tolman household we celebrated by painting :) and finishing up almost all of Emersons room. I just have a few more things I'm planning on doing. While my sweet little Emmy is asleep in the baby bjorn on my chest I figured I might as well post some pictures of her nursery, and our hallway wall that has been bugging me, its so long narrow and BORING!

I jumped on to pinterest where I found exactly what I want to do! We painted today, and in the next few days I'll hopefully finish the decor. Okay on to the pictures, you'll have to tell me what you think, and if you have any fun ideas of stuff to hang on the wall send them my way, its a long narrow boring hallway and it needs some spunk!

 So here it is...long boring hallway. 
 Emersons changing table and bookshelf that still isn't all the way finished
Her crib and some more decor. 

I'm sure I'll post pictures again once its officially all done and I'm loving it even more. Were super excited that Trevors parents are coming to visit tomorrow from Jerome to come see our sweetness. She also has to get her 2 month shots tomorrow :( But hey I am totally pro shots and vaccines, modern medicine is such a blessing and this momma is going to be doing everything I can to try and keep my baby healthy.

Well Emmys up and wants to eat :) Have a wonderful holiday and send me any ideas for that boring hallway

Catching up

So much has happened lately, and I'm terrible at remembering to blog. This will probably be a short and sweet entry since Emmy has been hating the mornings just like her mom. Poor girl!

So this holiday season was a blast! Trevors family have a tradition to go to SLC and check out the temple lights. It was our first trip with Emmy and it was an adventure :) She had atleast one blowout a day, puked on Trevor, peed and pooped on me. Lets just say she had fun, but was happy to return to her home and get back into a normal schedule. 

It was FREEZING! Me and Catrina (Trevors mom)
 Ted, Marie and Tommy 
 Pretty Lights 
 Our little family :) 
 Beautiful Temple 

The result of one of her many blowouts :) bath time in the middle of the night! 

We spent Christmas in Rexburg with my family so we went to Jerome on the 29th to spend new years and have a 2nd Christmas with the Tolmans. We had so much fun with Trevors HUGE family! He has 7 siblings, 2 are married and one of them has 2 kids. Trevors dad also has 9 siblings who live close to him and Trevors mom lives near them too! It is such a crazy difference between my tiny little family and his family with so many fun Aunts, Uncles, cousins and siblings! We were able to celebrate Trevors birthday with his family too! His birthday is on the 30th of December. We had so much fun and were grateful for the time we were able to spend with the Tolmans!

 Emmy loved her first new years! She partied it up and slept all through the night! 
We went to Boise one of the days and we had dinner with a few friends we missed. It was so fun! 




Its been freezing around here...like -20! It's now starting to finally warm up but man has it been cold! And we found out Emmy found out how to do a little trick! She rolled over! We were so proud of her its crazy! This week my dad spoke at devotional at BYUI. It was such a cool experience we got to have lunch with the President and V.P. of the school then afterwards sit on the stand and watch my dad speak. He did an awesome job as usual and that was my first time going to the BYUI Center! It's like a mini conference center and it is so nice inside! After we had a get together with some of my parents missionaries that are going to school here or traveled to hear them speak. It is always so fun to see how much my parents mean to those missionaries. Makes me realize that it really was where my parents were supposed to be and that not having them around for 3 years was worth it. 


Just ignore my stupid commentary :) 

Bundling Emerson up to keep her warm!

Well I promise to be better at blogging now. Especially since my cute cousin designed such a cute blog! if you ever are in the need of any blog stuff (clearly I have no idea what I'm doing with these) check her out her portfolio and her blog here
