Farming

So this weekend we got to visit a friend's house that had some animals (horse and goat). Emmie has never been around any thing like that before, and she has a blast. I have a little cowgirl on my hands I think.
She loved this horse until he snorted a bit of snot on her!!!
Her new friend!!! She was not scared at all.

Week 1

Well I got the first of many rough weeks out of the way and I can say that it wasn't that bad, at least not yet. School at night and getting home late is really catching up to me but it's the weekend so I can catch up, hopefully. I have some major studying to do to make sure I know what is going on, who knew the skull had so many different bones and holes that had super long names??!!?!?!? Well hope everyone has a great weekend, Emerson and I have some fun things planned this weekend and I can't wait to get started!

And so it begins

So I started at BC this week, and man what a crazy week it has been already. The only science class that was available at night for me to take is one crazy class, anatomy. Basically this teacher is cool but he said that this is one difficult class if you are just taking it as a general class because there is so much to learn. So here I am thinking crap what have I gotten myself into????? On top of this class I am taking the rest of my classes online (I have 3 left). WOOOHOOOO!!!!!I have come this far and now it's time to bear down and really stayed focused, I just have know this is only until December!!! So wish my luck this is very important for Emerson's and I future!

Thankful

This weekend we went to my cousin Scott's wedding, to his perfect match Shannon. Everything about the whole day was so amazing, from the tears that Shannon cried while saying her vows, it made veryone cry, to how handsome and proud Scott was. We are so happy for u guys and we were delighted to be able to be part if your special day!

I couldn't help myself

*the picture is a bit blurry, I had a moving target!

This weekend I just happened to walk by a new shoe store and I went in to look around because they were having a big sale. I am all for hand me down shoes or cheap ones because kids grow like weeds and don't stay in their shoes very long. We little (big) Emmie has some funky shaped feet more like Fred Flintstone. So anyways I found a super cute pair of cross trainer Nike and some hot pink Nike shocks. They were perfect for her shaped feet. So with the money she got for her birthday from Granny I got her 2 pairs of shoes for this winter.

Ummm. . . . I am in for it now

Can we say a girl version of evil knivel?

This is where I found her feet flying in the air trying to get into her car face first!!!


Does anyone else see where this is going???? This little child of mine is a daredevil and has no fear. She will be off doing backflips before I know it.

You know you are a parent when . . . .

You so happily give up your lunch hour to go and get your little angel new sippie cups because she slowly fading out the baby bottles!!!
A binky has a special place in the car in the console for those emergency moments!
A baby sock has taken over the place where your makeup usually goes!!!!


Life couldn't get any better than this!!!!

Can't wait!!!!

So I just found out that I will be graduating in January, finally!!!!! If everything goes according to plan and my counselor I will finally be done with my BA, it's been a long road but I see the light at the end of the tunnel. I will only get a month off then back to the books and start my Masters/MAP program which should be less than 2 years. My life has been super crazy with school and work and Emerson but I have managed to maintain a high GPA, I am just so proud that I stuck with it even when the times got really difficult. But it's not quite over but I am close. I am just so excited. Excited to graduate and excited for things coming in the future for me and the family!

Just like Jadyn

Emmie can't get enough of her cousin J. They have so much fun playing together I know they are going to grow up as close as sisters. Jadyn loves wearing her "princess" dress but squealed with delight when she saw that Emerson had it on. And Emmie just twirled around in the dress like it wasn't 10 sizes to big for her, she was in heaven.

1 year old

On 8/9/08 this little girl came into my life at 7lbs 1 oz and 20 inches long. Now she is 22 lbs and 9oz and 29 1/2 inches long.Wow, what an amazing year I have had. This little girl has brought so many new things into my life its amazing. She brightens my day even when it has not been that great. She has the best little personality and everyday more and more of that shines through. Yesterday she looked right at me and said mama, before it was just mamamamama. She is my little girl that makes everything seem so right in my life. Thanks to all of those that shared her special day with us this past weekend!

And so it begins, a start of a great birthday weekend

She actually looks like my granny here in her dress, so cute! But by the end of the day she is looking pretty ragged but I must say she looked super cute in the morning.

She loved the whipped cream on her face. She actually was trying to lick it off!

As always we headed to the Avacado for our weekly dinner with Grandma Tina and Papa Pat( he didn't make it)! Basically it was a girls night because the guys were off doing their own thing. Jadyn has been so excited about Emerson's birthday she can hardly stand it, it's all she can talk about all week. So she told Mario it was Emmie's birthday and if you have ever been to a Mexican food restaurant for anyone's birthday you know what happens. I'll just let the pictures speak for themselves.

Brainiac

I think I have a baby genius on my hands. Everyday she does something that amazes me on how much she is learning and taking it all in.
