April was a pretty good month- we didn't do a lot in the beginning, Emma mostly worked on the house and Ryan put in a lot of hours at work and at home.

We did go ride the "Mustache Train" (The heber creeper, special event night) we went an amazing 7 miles in 2 hours-it was the slowest train we've ever been on, but it was a lot of fun with KJ and Sage and beautiful scenery. (And Ryan got a hot dog). wui-wui hah huh (french)

The end of the moth got busy, Emma went up to Rexburg to spend time with Jo and her kids and they had a good time. Aliya had a lot of fun with her cousins, but wasn't used to there being noise during the day and that took a little getting-used-to, she slept a lot after the trip. On the way up we stopped at Grandma and Grandpa Mahoney's and Grandma swooned over the "lovely baby".

The next week we went to Logan for the wedding and preparations. It was a good week of craziness, the reception got rained out, there was lots of pie, Ryan forgot his pants (Emma forgot Ryan's pants) and we had to make a last minute Kohl's run. Tiffany had a baby, Dallin got a head wound, we went to the jump palace, ate at the golden corral, and had an overall great time. except for when Aliya cried the whole time we were in the ceremony (She's a mama's girl).

Ryan made a model of a teapot and a hot air balloon
Aliya met Lydia and was so excited, I have never seen her act like that with a new person. It was like they were best friends being reunited.

For our anniversary-we went to sundance, and it was beautiful.

Aliya has learned to drink from a bottle, eat in her high chair, and fortunately she likes prune juice because she continues to poop like once a week.
we got a hiking backpack for her

February

Baby girl has been sick for about two days, like a running faucet from every orifice of her body-she purrs like a kitten-which would be cute except for the fact that it's caused by all the boogers in her nose and lungs. She got it from her daddy who's still recovering himself and on occasion they will synchronize hacking coughs in a show of solidarity.

Emma, during feeding time, has started watching shows from the 70's and 80's like MacGiver, MASH and Magnum P.I. Mash is her favorite.

Things continue to go well with the new house. We are mostly moved in, which from what I understand, is the point everyone in the process on moving calls it good and simply starts living. The last three weeks have not been two eventful. Emma has been busy with baby and other projects. She recently took Tylathryn out into the freezing tundra of Utah Lake for some engagement photos. Got some good ones too. This was followed by an impromptu dinner over at our house with Jean and Steve, Kathryn, Tyler, and Ryan's brother Jared. There's been a flurry of wedding planning.

Emma enjoyed going up to Logan to hang out with mom, Johanna, Kathryn, Dallin and Elsie, and other than that it's been a pretty chill month.
