Love in a basket

Emma turned 11 months on March 26th! Here is her latest trick:



One of Emma's favorite things to do is ride around the house in the laundry basket! I love how the simplest things bring the greatest joys (plus, it's the only way I can get the laundry done!) :)


"Mom, why do you have to take so many pictures??"


We got to do some fun things this past month!

At the beginning of March we went to the Body World Exhibit at the Arizona Science Center (sorry no pics...) and then we went to the Bass Pro Shop in Mesa. Emma got to see all the cool outdoorsy manly man stuff and all the fish in the huge tank.

The next week we went to a D-Backs spring training game with Jake, Brittney, and Porter. Emma got some serious lovin' at the game by getting on the jumbo-tron AND getting some special attention from Baxter the D-Backs mascot!

The very next day we went on an amazing weekend cruise to Mexico with the Nelsons
(for pics from that trip click here )

The following week was spring break and we got to spend time with our good friends Roman and Shaley Madsen. They came down from Provo and we got to see their adorable new baby Lucy! We went swimming one of the nights they were here - Emma and Lucy loved it :)

Also, we go to go to dinner one night with our friends Bryce and Ashley. They took us to a pizza place called Spinato's and it was de.lish. mmmm...you should try it.

Remember this bad boy?
Last week we obtained my family's old Nintendo 64 game system (yes it still works). Needless to say, we've spent LOTS of time getting our game on playing MarioKart. YaaHooooooo!
And yesterday we went to the Desert Botanical Gardens to see the Butterfly Exhibit. It was such a cool experience to be surrounded by hundreds of butterflies! We even got to release baby butterflies into the pavilion for their first time.




Brittney, Paige and my mom were lucky enough to have butterflies come and land on them!

The month of March flew by and April has a bunch of things in store for us! Emma will be turning one before we know it! And I can't wait for General Conference this weekend - we're so lucky we have the chance to hear from our prophet and church leaders.
