First, he patched a hole in our dry wall made by a really horrible electrician. I love that I married a handyman! Emma was such a big helper! She loves Home Depot!
Second, we spontaneously went to Newport Beach for the DAY. We drove the 5 hours, and with the time difference, were on the beach by 10 AM. We stayed for about 5 hours, then went to the Newport Beach Temple to take pictures. Emma LOVED the beach... she definitely had quite a few face plants, which we captured with video and not a picture. The water was FREEZING, but the weather was 85 and sunny... a heck of a lot nicer than our 70 and sunny. :) Then we went to Trevor (Ammon's cousin) and Liz's place. Liz was so gracious to cook us dinner being only 6 weeks from her due date! Thanks again! Doesn't she look great for being almost 9 months pregnant? We then drove home and got back at like 1 AM. Emma slept pretty much the whole time both ways. She's great!!
Third, we spent a lot of time outdoors. We laid out on Ammon's beautiful grass, went to the preserve, and went on a lot of walks. At the preserve, the huge goose (?) pictured below started chasing us. Ammon was totally calm (holding Emma). I ran for the hills. Emma was just staring at the goose like "What is wrong with you? Why do you sound like that?"
Fourth, Emma got her first toofie. I keep trying to take a picture of it, but you can't see it. Hopefully when it grows bigger, we can capture how cute she looks. Right now it just looks like a tiny piece of bread she hasn't swallowed. It's her bottom right tooth. It definitely explains her crankiness for the last week! :) To distract her from her crankiness, we've been walking her around the house (we just had the idea that maybe we need to get her a walker). She LOVES to be on her feet, and absolutely hates the idea of crawling. She's starting to pull herself up on things, and loves the freedom of being a big girl. When we try to get her to crawl, she crawls backwards, puts her head down on the floor, and throws a tantrum!
Fifth, we got to celebrate cousin Cambryn's 1st birthday!! It was so much fun! She is adorable! Emma was jealous of all her presents and her yummy bear-shaped cupcake. Only 5 more months!
Ammon had his 2nd day of school today after his break. It's been a lonely couple of days. Emma always wants to walk into the den (where Ammon is always studying). She keeps looking around to see where daddy is hiding. SO CUTE!
