Trying new things!

Emmalee is very curious.... We had flowers for Papa Jim and Nana's anniversary and she wanted to touch them, smell them, and even try and eat them....

We then found some bubbles and Emmalee thought they were alot of fun until they started POPPING!!! She wanted to hold them.

Emmalee then decided she wanted to help pull weeds, leaves dirt what ever she could find. The funny thing was she would get a handful and then walk into the house and throw it in the trash can.

Love always,

Jill and family

Grandma Rosemary and Grandpa Al came to visit!

On February 13th Grandma Rosemary and Grandpa Al came to visit us! It was so wonderful to have them here! We sure wish they lived closer so we could see them more often. They drove to Sedona for Valentines day and then Emmalee, Grandma Rosemary, Grandpa Al and I went to Fountain Hills on Friday and had a very nice lunch and saw the fountain. On Saturday, Rob, Josh, Brad, Emmalee, Grandma Rosemary, Grandpa Al and I (in 2 cars) drove by Canyon Lake to Tortilla Flatt - we were hoping to eat lunch but it was soooo busy we drove back and ate at Red Robin. The Lake is full - something we have not seen in quite a long time! Sunday was mellow - Rob golfed and Grandma Rosemary took Josh shopping while I took Bradley to a birthday party for his best friend Zack and then did a WATSU! We had a very nice dinner that Grandma Rosemary prepared - a Roast with baked potato's and green beans. (Papa Jim and Nana joined us for dinner). Josh slammed his finger in the car door while shopping with Grandma! He did a really good job on it! OUCH!!! Monday morning meant Grandma Rosemary and Grandpa Al had to go home = ( We sure do miss you guys already!!! We hope you we be back to visit us soon! We love you!

Love Rob, Jill, Josh, Brad and Emmalee Rose

My BIGWHEEL -

Bradley and Daddy put my Bigwheel together and I am still learning how to make it go forward. I do have backwards Mastered!!!! Bradley spent a lot of time putting all of the stickers on it - Thanks Bradley!!! But Emmalee didn't take much time at all taking all of the stickers off and giving them to Daddy and Mommy! Emmalee does not like stickers or wall paper! - Yes, I said Wallpaper. During a nap a couple weeks ago, it sounded like Emmalee was playing - well she was taking down the border of wallpaper behind her crib. She removed about a 3 inch by 3 inch section. She was informed that this was a NO NO. She kept saying No No everytime we would go into her room and she would point to the border. Two days later.... She removed about 4 feet!!!!! We have decided it is best to not replace the border at this time!!! Maybe she will go into home decorating!!! Pictures of the wallpaper will come later!

Love always, Jill and Family.

Happy 1st Birthday Mason and Devin Perry!

Boy has it been busy!!!!

Some things that Happened in the month of January.... Hunter graduated from yellow belt to green belt in Karate!!!! Papa Jim, Nana, Rob, Brad, Emmalee and I all went to see him graduate! He did a great job demonstrating what he has learned. I know he was happy to have such a large cheering section. Hunter has a red spot on his forehead because he bumped it during practice..... the teacher remarked about having to use and ice pack before class started! We love you Hunter and are very proud of you!!! Earlier in January one of my co-workers had a celebration of life for her husband who passed away in October from a brain tumor. Ray wanted a picnic in the park where the kids could play and enjoy themselves, so Diane (DJ) honored his wishes and had a picnic on a beautiful Saturday morning. Emmalee loved riding in her wagon and truly enjoyed playing with all the other kids. Her boyfriends Mason and Devin were there. They are almost one years old in these pictures!


Emmalee stopped to smell the flowers (and pick a couple). We had a great day and enjoyed all of the people, the beautiful weather and the fresh flowers. Sue and boys, Thanks for waiting for Rob and Bradley to pick us up!
More to come! Love always,
Jill and family!
