I love to see the Temple~

One of the MANY fun things that we did in St. George was go to the temple to see the lights~

TT and I - not the best pic but - it was so nice to see a favorite sister again :)

Emmy got to play with Hela (her BEST St. Georgian- non cousin friend :)-- all she wanted to do was hold his hand- CUTE.

and I got to play with Nicole- Hela's mom and MY best friend- what HAPPY times! (also not the best pic- but it had to be documented!)

Twinners- oooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh- Darling!

Brandi was by far the most popular Aunt of the night- she had the stroller- for some reason, kids think of the stroller as a toy to push and not a mode of transportation...

While the "little" kids were playing with the stroller- the "big" boys were playing too :)

Weirdy Wednesday!

Yes- weird and BRAVE- this was (he has since died~) Philly the Iguana- he belonged to Uncle Josh and wasn't very nice.- UNTIL the cold snap- then the cold blooded creature was docile and holdable- and Emmy was DELIGHTED!

Don't you just love this face- she just kept wanted to hold him and pet him- she is for sure my daughter and not just Jason's- hooray!

Off to Utah!

I have so much to catch up on Blog wise that I think I will just start at the begining and go from there -here we are reunited- J and Justy were off twin hugging during this pic- but the reunion was SWEET! Get ready for the rest of our trip coming soon- it was a VERY fun time :)

Grammy and the Girlies

Ok- so the title is a bit deceiving~ this is the only pic of Grammy matching all 4 girls- Londyn was not in a picture taking mood- I felt AMAZING that we have them kind of all in the same shot :)

But here is Grammy with Emmy's adorable cousin Abi- she is "baby Abi" to Ems and she loves her!

Emmy was in the mood to be a weirdy- of course she was! This is her "deep silly voice" face- I'm so glad that I captured it!

Emmy and Grammy were VERY happy to be twinners :)

very happy in indeed :)

Pucker up Buttercup!

Matix and Emmy were BFF in Dominica and now they are BFF in AMERICA too! Yes, the Bergs are in Miami hooray! We have a whole family shot to be shared in a future post- but let's just say that Emmy was a bit standoffish at first- but she warmed up to Matix when the camera came out ;)

Even Tinker Bell sometimes needs a potty break...

Words can NOT describe how much I love this child!

Photos, Pictures X 100!

Our FL photo shoot- it was FREEZING and Emmy forgot that she could smile- but our amazing friend STILL managed to get some great shots!

Three generations of girlies- so fun!

Emmy with Booky and Papa :)

The "Borchardt Clan" Stari, Dan, Ryan and Titan- Booky, Papa, Josh and Dave- Me, J and Emmy.

All of the Grandkiddies- so fun!

The first time together in 2 years- the last time was Emmy's blessing- I love Christmas for so many reasons- but getting together is one of the best!

Emmy and Mommy- aawwwww!

Isn't this just the coolest picture- I kind of wish that Ems had smiled- but I like her little serious face too ;)

Emmy, Momma and Penelope Jane- how fun that we are going to have 3 girls in the same family- 2 has been the record for 6 generations on BOTH sides of my family :)

Let's just say that Booky and Papa were in heaven this Christmas!

St. George Family Picture Shoot~in LOVE

These make me soooo happy- if you look at Emmy's face the smile just gets more and more strange- ha!

The "Frederick Clan"- left to right-Tiff, Bear and Jordan- Brandi, Justin and Londyn- Grammy and Grampy (holding Abi and Jett)- Me, J and Emmy- Kaley and Cameron (Cam is the photographer) sooooo talented!

Emmy is getting very excited about Ellie coming- this the one "normal" face of this pose :)

I loved so many that I just had to collage them so that you wouldn't have to look at 80 pictures-

These are my most favorite Mommy Daughter pics- I just love her so much!

Emmy hated the long grass- and thought she might die while in it- I think that she was having fashbacks to the lemongrass in Dominica that ate her once...

Aren't these ones so cute~

I don't know why these are small- anyways here is one of the shoots- I can honestly say that they might be my fav of all time! :)

Emmy and Daddy~ SO CUTE!

We have had several photo shoots this Christmas- here is just a little taste- there are MANY more pics to come- but we are all a little under the weather- WA! Emmy and I returned home yesterday and J stayed in Utah for one more week so he could love his family- so far all he has loved is his bed between throw ups- so sad- but we had the Merriest of Christmases in Florida (a little early)- then in California (a little less early) and then in Utah (on the day) what a FUN time of year :)

Flashback!- Halloween post :)

ok- so, I am visiting family in Utah and California and haven't uploaded any pictures yet- but I was thinking about what I still needed to blog and I found THESE pics! Thank heavens I looked back- because I would have missed 1/2 of Halloween!
Jason's AMAZING pumpkin- a Jack Skelington pirate ship- LOVED it!
we went to a fall festival- such fun times :)
It's a comfort to know that if Jason hates being a Dr.- he can be a professional pumpkin carver~
Josh's AMAZING ALLIGATOR- wow- the talent in my family is unreal!
enjoying a Hallow's Eve cookie :)
Emmy loved carving this year- I loved her apron.
Last year we carved a Dominican pumpkin/squash- which was green-
and last year, Jason was studying for a mini- so it was just 11 month old Ems and I - wow what a difference a year makes!
this year, we were in America, carving orange pumpkins, with my family, and Emmy loved every second-
she thought that the seeds and the "gucky guts" were the very coolest part~
J was excited to again join in the festivities!
I thought this pic with Uncle Josh- might just be the cutest picture ever!

kissing the pumpkin...
I would title this picture "Halloween Delight" :)
