Our mother's day.

It was a good mother's day.

Emma made her first appearance at church, following which the boys walked home. So cute in their suits.

We all took a nap. Emma even cooperated and slept for a good chunk.

Then the piece de resistance
.....Dinner.....
Lamb and Goat cheese enchilada with almond mole sauce!

Yes it was as fancy as it sounds. It took Tyson more than eight hours over the course of two days (not including the three hours of scavenger hunt grocery shopping trying to find all the ingredients) to make it. He even figured out how to cold smoke the lamb with a make shift smoker. I am sincerely sorry that I didn't take any pictures of that process. Oh, and make sure to take note of the prettiest flower ever. My "daisy" picked especially for me by Ben.

After stuffing ourselves silly on gourmet morsels we visited the cows....

...And had mini photo shoots. Both kids were very accommodating. I think maybe dad gave them a heads up to the whole mother's day thing. Usually the camera is their cue to run away/cry/make faces/spit up.

This is a little blurry, but I think there's not much sweeter then a dad with his baby.

This one is just funny, and cute.
It seems like she finally realized who her parents are and is quite scared!

Showing off his new "running" shoes.

Of course after conversing with cattle we had all built up an appetite for dessert.
One of my favorites ...Fruit Pizza!

It was a good day.

Happy Mother's Day!

1 week and 29 years

Today we celebrated Emma's one week birthday and Tyson's "Golden Birthday" (a.k.a. 29 on the 29th) Emma's we celebrated by getting a six hour chunk of sleep. YEAH! Tyson's we partied like the animals we are. Below are pictures of what Tyson came home to. Ben was the one that artfully arranged the balloons, mom and I did the rest.

As you can see many presents were involved. 29 actually. Don't worry they weren't expensive or really very interesting. The boxes mostly consisted of things like 29 Jelly Beans, 8 bouncy balls, or 16 peeps.

I think it was a most enjoyable birthday, despite the unfortunate requirement of attending school, but the jury is still out on who enjoyed the 29 presents thing more....Mom and I while coming up with and searching out each item, Tyson while opening them, or Ben while helping daddy open them...

...he did a similar dance for almost every present!

And because I'm sure all of you were wondering what Emma was wearing for dad's big day, here's the outfit.

And also because I've somehow neglected to post a single thing since Monday, sorry about that everyone, here's a slew of more cuteness.

This onesie we thought was particularly funny; especially since we paired it with pink pants.

I think Ben was feeling left out. Every time we started taking pictures of Emma he wanted in on the action.

You can't have a slew of cuteness without at least one of the original Eucker cutie.

Ben and Emma

Finally! The computer has cooperated. I hereby present both pictures and video of just Ben and Emma. Enjoy!

Home again, home again, jiggitey jig!

Well today real life settled in. We took Emma home! Without all the nurses hovering around helping I feel more of a burden than ever with my inability to do anything, but hopefully that will change quickly! Here are just a few more pictures. The first few are just before we left the hospital and then of course there's the "oh my goodness, she's so tiny in that car seat" pictures, followed by just another few cute ones.

More hospital photos and a.........VIDEO!

In no particular order here is more cuteness....

I keep trying to upload a video of Ben's first moments with Emma (super sweet!) but for some reason it hasn't worked yet. Hopefully soon.
