Peanut Butter and Jelly

I thought that I would as a little humor to the site. This sound clip is hilarious. Brian Regan is a funny comedian. I think this is funny because it is all about something as simply as peanut butter and jelly and how lazy society can really be sometimes.

Sammy loves the slide!!!

Here is the video of Sammy going down the slide head first. He just gets up and goes down all by himself. He is crazy!

An update for the last couple months

I wanted to finally update the blog with all the stuff we've been doing, so the post is long. Hopefully we'll get better at keeping it up to date...

We have been busy these last couple months. We went on vacation with our family to Ouray Colorado. We had a blast and recommend it to everyone to try out. There's tons to do there; shopping, biking, hiking, climbing, swimming in hot springs, jeeping, and so much more! We went jeeping to Imogene pass with a guide and loved it!! Here's some highlight pictures...

Here is Jeremaih and Sammy at Box Canyon Falls. One of the most impressive waterfalls we have seen. It is well worth the travel to Ouray itself. It's an easy walk right to the falls too!!

Here is another waterfall within walking distance form our condo.

This was our jeep where we all were able to ride to the top of the pass.

Here we are among the wildflowers on our jeeping trip.

Overall, the best was just lounging on the deck, watching the hummingbirds! Always Sammy's favorite!

The Declaration of Independence

After our trip, we rested a few days, then went to see the "origional copy" of the Declaration of Independence. It was neat to be in the capitol for the first time since the renovation. Sammy and I went with Grandma and Grandpa Embley. It was a great day!!

This is the blown up copy of the Declaration.

The Zoo!!

Sammy got to go to the Zoo for the first time too!! We went with Grandma Embley, Aunt Julie, Daniel and Megan. We all had a great time! Sammy got to see the big birds up close and feed the ducks. He also got to ride a carasoul for the first time and ride another train. He just loved the animals. He was so exhausted at the end that he even fell asleep during the big cat show! What a day!

Grandma, Daniel, Me and Sammy riding the train. Juile took the picture and Megan was riding with her.

Here's Sammy on the carasoul. He really liked it. He wasn't sure what it really was at first but he loved the motion of it all!

The Fair

Here's Sammy saying "Quack, Quack" to the duck.

Our New Car

We got a new car too. We bought it on Sammy's 17 month birthday (August 19th) and got the licence plates on his 18 month birthday (September 19th). He loves to drive our car, as do we. It's a Ford Freestlye, 2005. It's an awsome car with 7 passenger seating (for our future large family and our current camping an vacationing needs). We have loved it!

Sammy's our cutest driver!!!

The new car!

Sammy's worn out!!

This was the first time he has fallen asleep in his highchair! He wasn't even done eating lunch!

Sam in his slumber!

He also found the ultimate car! I was washing dishes when he decided to remove the rack and take it for a spin! It was too cute to pass up the photo op.

The Embley Summer Party

This year we had a summer party instead of a Christmas party. It was lots of fun! Sammy loved running around at the stake park, but he especially liked the slide!!

(Video to come soon)

Last but not least...

Here's Sammy playing on our bed this morning. He is healthy and happy, and so are we. What more can we ask for. We are blessed beyond measure and lucky to have such great family and friends to share all this with. We love you all and hope you can all be healthy and happy too!!
