Labor Day 2014

With Greg's new crazy work load, we were nervous we wouldn't be able to do anything fun for Labor Day...but on Saturday afternoon he said he was done and ready to party!

So we drove up to St. George to hang with the Burrs. This is becoming a favorite vacation spot of ours...

Emily loved being with her cousins. They played all day together.

BFFs

The three amigos: Meric, Emily, and Joel.

The men all got thrown into the pool with their clothes on and hadn't brought any extra clothes to change into, so they all wore Grandpa Burr's clothes. It was really funny to see the outfits that they chose and how well the clothes fit ;)

What can I say? He always looks good!

Everyone got to participate in putting handprints in cement...Some enjoyed it more than others.

It turned out pretty cool.

Before we knew it, the weekend was over. In photo: Emily, Eric, and Erica.

Thanks everyone for making the trip so much fun! In photo: Emily, Rachel, and Blake.

Random Pictures from July and August

Back in February Greg was put in as Young Men's President in our ward. Ever since then I had been dreading Scout Camp because I knew he'd be gone for a whole week. As time got closer I was grateful to have great family and friends around who helped me not be so lonely while he was away. On Monday night we had the Yis over for FHE.

On Tuesday we went over to my friend's house to swim. On Wednesday my cousin Troy and his wife Brooke had us over for dinner. We had so much fun. The best part of the meal was when they announced that they were expecting and only two weeks after us! I was flattered they started asking me for parenting advice.

On Thursday I got to go to the temple and then went visiting teaching. Then on Friday my friend had us over for dinner. Greg got back on Saturday afternoon and he looked like this! Emily was afraid of him! He hadn't shaved or taken a shower for a week and he got food poisoning! We were so happy he finally came back to us though!

Our little Emily is both cute and...

NAUGHTY! Greg brought me some beautiful flowers from work and Emily destroyed them!

On August 2 my brother Derek had a layover here while he was on his way to Idaho. We had a nice visit, even though he had a crazy hat on!

A couple weeks ago Greg got his UNLV diploma in the mail, so I HAD to take a picture. It was a very exciting week for us. Greg got a job at Nevada State High School as an educational advisor and I got a job as an online substitute at Nevada Virtual Academy. I get to work from home! Doesn't he clean up good??

Emily loves to put on her "skirt" aka her rumba panties with both legs through one hole. It was so cute, I HAD to take a picture of what it looks like in the back...

Ha ha!

Emily gets a little confused sometimes and thinks SHE is the one that is having a baby. Well, she never ceases to make us laugh!

Mom Burr was so nice to watch Emily while I attended some trainings the last couple of weeks. Emily LOVED being with her grandma. It broke my heart when Emily started to cry when she left on the airplane. Buddies for life!

Oh Baby!

Well, I'm sure if you're reading this you have already heard the news. We are expecting a baby!

We found out we were pregnant on May 22 (which just happens to be Greg's brother's birthday). Since he was getting married on the 27th anyway, we decided to share the news with the whole Burr family at the wedding.

So we wrapped these items and told Eric (Greg's brother) that we had a late birthday present/early wedding gift for him. He opened it and was very confused. A few moments later, everyone was screaming and so excited for us.

Since my parents are currently serving a mission in Panama, we decided it would be the least obvious to tell them we were expecting if we waited until Father's Day. So we arranged to skype with them and made Emily a cute little shirt.

We weren't skyping with them long before we had Emily show them her "new shirt". We were all crying (I'm allowed to because I'm pregnant).

Since all of my siblings live far away, when we finished chatting with my parents, we e-mailed them this picture of Emily. It was fun to receive e-mails, texts, and phone calls congratulating us.

Although Emily may not look excited, she actually is.

Which brings us up to date. Being the worrisome and paranoid person that I am, I insisted on us waiting to tell the rest of the world until we were done with the first trimester and had seen the doctor.

Today we are 13 weeks along and just met with the doctor. Well little baby, see you in January!

Hotter than Hades

Although it is consistently in the 100's down here, we still seem to be having fun this summer. Especially with such a cute 2 year-old!

She has the cutest facial expressions.

On Saturday, May 31, we met up with my cousin Nathan and his family at the M&M Factory. They moved to Arizona a few months ago, so now they live just two hours away from us.

It was fun to catch up and best of all...we were surrounded by M&Ms!

I am no doubt his favorite cousin. Now that we have that established...

Greg has been working really hard on our backyard. When we moved here the yard was dead with absolutely no grass. Greg got our grass growing and now look at how luscious it is. We all love it and are so proud of him. FYI: B.O. stands for Brick Oven.

Here is Emily being cute.

Here is Emily "helping" Greg make cinnamon rolls.

Funny story, one night Greg started Emily's bath and told her he would be right back with some toys for her to play with in tub. Well, while he was gone he heard a splash...she had jumped in with her clothes on! Ha ha!

For the 4th of July weekend we had been planing on going to St. George to visit family. The day before we were going to leave our a/c went out in our car. We were pretty discouraged, but determined to go, so we rented a car for $10/day and drove the two hours.

Emily loved seeing her great grandparents and her Burr cousins. She was one happy girl.

Best of all, they just got a pool so we spent a ton of time swimming. You may be wondering why me and Greg are wearing shirts... well, the day before we both got really bad sunburns so we really didn't want it to happen again.

Here we are with Aubry (Greg's sister) and little Meric.

Me and my favorite girl.

Greg being cool, as always. Happy 4th of July!

Memorial Day Weekend

We went up to Utah last weekend to see my brother Dillon who I hadn't seen in 2.5 years and attend Eric's wedding. It was a great trip. Oh yeah, this picture is just proof that Greg actually IS gansta...

Emily and Cheyenne LOVED playing together. They sure are cute girls!

The cuties

We had a great time hanging out with Dillon and the Dilsavers all weekend. We ate yummy food and had some great talks. We even fit in some 'Ticket to Ride', which is now Dillon's favorite game, right Dillon? Ashley isn't in the picture because she's the one taking it!

On Tuesday, May 27 we all drove to the Salt Lake Temple for Eric's wedding. Emily couldn't stop looking at Angel Moroni...as you can see in this picture with Grandpa Burr.
