Emma says the darndest things...

On November 25, as many of you did, we watched the Macy's Thanksgiving day parade. Emma loved watching the big balloons! I couldn't stop wanting to practice my can-can kicks...Those Rocketts are awesome! Anyway, at the end of the parade the big man himself made his appearance, that's right Santa! Richard turned to Emma and asked her "Who is that?" Emma responded in whispered aw..."The Wizard!"

Apparently we need to have a little talk...

Princess Hair

I've wanted to try foam curlers in Emma's hair for quite some time. The other day I did. I told Emma they were princess curlers and if she slept in them at night she would have princess hair in the morning. She loved them! But she wouldn't let me take a good picture of her after.

She now asks for her princess curlers...

Halloween 2010

A little tast of Halloween for you...

Cake for GraMimi

I wanted to make my Mom a cake for her birthday...this is what I came up with.

My brother Landon and his son Grayson were over that day. Grayson and Emma loved looking at the pumpkin cake.

We love you Mom!

Just a Peek

Here are a couple pictures Jami Erickson took for us. She was nice and we love all the photos!

Silly in Seattle

October 14 we headed over to Seattle to spend time with Bryan and Heather and get family pictures taken. We attempted to go to a cute pumpkin patch while we were there but it started to rain soon after so it was cut short.

Sadie looking oh so cute!

Heather and Katrina, Richard and Emma coming out of the awesome slide.

I was packing Nora and this was a shot I took of her...not very good, but I thought it was cute.

Emma's 3!

I can't believe Emma is 3! We had a little party for her with her grandparents. Richard wanted to do a "weenie roast" for her birthday. So we had a fun time watching Emma run around like a crazy zambeenie...no interest in food what-so-ever.

Emma sporting her cute little car she got...

Lucky girl! Emma had her grandparents, and a set of great-grandparents at her party.

Emma blowing out her candles.

My Mom made Emma's Mrs. Potts cake for her. My Mom wasn't to happy with the spout saying it looked like "dumbo" instead of Mrs. Potts. But I thought it was pretty awesome!

Fall on the Farm

In September we went for a lovely walk on the farm. We enjoyed watching Emma run around eating her apple, and Nora wishing she could have some too.

Nora is 6 months? Yikes!

Today Nora is 6 months! She keeps growing, in some ways more than others.

We also went to the doctors today for her 6 month check up and shots.

Her stats are:

Length: 26 1/4" 50-75 %

Weight: 17 lb 13.9 oz 75-90%

Bumbo!

Bouncy Bouncy!

Nora loves her bouncer! So I thought I would share some cute pictures of her royal bounciness.

Random Fun

Who doesn't love a bubble beard?!

Baby drool!

Isn't it beautiful!

Yesterday we had a crazy storm here in Ephrata. Emma loved watching the storm from the window, she kept saying "isn't it beautiful!". Richard just couldn't help letting Emma have her way, so he took her outside. Don't worry, we waited till after the hail...

The three women in my life

This is why I am happy!

I love Nora's face in this one.

Backyard pool party!

Some of you may remember back when Grandpa and Grandma Adams used to live here. There was this awesome pool in the backyard that supposedly "broke" so Grandpa filled it in and planted sod. Now we are stuck with a plot of grass that has no drainage and moves if it gets too much water. So a few weeks ago Leisha got a little pool for Emma (to put over where the old pool was...) and I decided we needed some patio furniture to sit on. So we decked out the backyard and had a little pool party for Emma. She of course loved it and would have stayed out all day until she was golden brown like a tator tot...

She didn't like to walk on the hot cement, so she took it as a personal responsibilty to wet the cement so she could move around more freely.

Leisha of course desperately needed some sun...don't look at the picture too long as you might go blind!

Emma had a great time and we didn't have to pay to get in the public pool and deal with the massive hordes of people.

Backyard pool party 2

Leisha decided that it would be a good time to give Emma a lollipop because we could just hose her down when she was done...

Leisha of course wanted some too...

But Emma quickly took over...

...and now you can see why we gave it to her outside and with lots of water handy...

Nora also made an appearance at the very end...
