Another Year Wiser

Happy Birthday to Trent!  We spent this weekend celebrating him and all that he means to the people who love him the most.  It was a spectacular weekend and an extra long one due to Memorial Day.  Trent's birthday fell on Memorial Day this year so we were able to spend the day on the lake with my family.

Trent's parents were in Denver, Colorado waiting on the arrival of "Sib" Rhymer (Brock and Alicia's baby girl (name unknown so we call her Sib, short for Sibling) that was due on Saturday, May 27th).  She is being a stubborn little thing and is not making her debut as her Mom had asked.  Alicia has officially named her belly the Ritz Carlton since both of her kids are now late arrivals.  It must be pretty spectacular in there to not want to come on time.  :-)

Mom's table for the Birthday Boy - she's so creative!

The Birthday Boy!

Trent's been trying a "reduced gluten diet" and these were Dad's gifts to Trent. Dad's tissue paper in the bags was Kroger bags...WOW....awfully thoughtful though!

More from Dad...

The two preggers - one girl and one boy!

Mom and Dad's gift...you can tell Mom was in on this - look at the pretty wrapping.

Sperry's!! - Dad said they were used so Trent is checking them out.

Can't get any cuter!

Dad, me and Emmalaine

Girls on the Lake

Trent's cake - Kaydence was the "candle blow out helper"

After the lake we had cake!


This weekend we also celebrated another marker in Emmalaine's growth - 37 Weeks!  WOW.  We officially have a full term baby and we are so very thankful for this blessing.  She seems to be growing into a perfect little daughter and to say we cannot wait to meet her is an understatement.  We are quite anxious, but we don't mind her staying in for a little longer to continue to grow and get all that she needs to pop out a healthy young gal.




Trent and I laugh because according to my "pregnancy reading material," Emmalaine is larger than Maycie! How in the world could that be?  

A lot is happening in the Rhymer world and we are grateful for our many blessings, another year of life for Trent and welcoming a new life in Emmalaine.  

Thanks for continuing to walk through this journey with us!

Emmalaine's Haven

Well, we are down to 6.5 weeks before our baby girl arrives and my are we ready to greet her!  Trent and I have been working hard to get our lives ready for this sweet girl - but can we ever really be ready?
We've just about completed her room and wanted to share the photos with friends and family.  My hope was to create a room that would be a sanctuary for Emmalaine.  I wanted it to be calming, relaxing, and serene.  I think I've been successful and I am totally in love with the room.  Trent has done all the handy work and it wouldn't look like it does without his help.
We are waiting on just a couple more things and then the room will be totally complete.  Should be all set real soon.
In addition, we are so thankful for our parents who invested so much in Emmalaine's room!  We are so grateful.

We hope you'll come visit - you are welcome anytime!




Trent and I think her room is so nice that it doesn't belong in our house!  
We know who is spoiled already!


This is her 12 month photo frame along with pictures of Trent and I, and both sets of her grandparents.
Pictures to come....

....Every princess deserves a chandelier!

If you come visit and want to rock her, we promise you won't want to leave!  Best glider ever!
