Happy Days at the Beach!

Too cute Emma!

For Labor Day, Jacob and I took Emma and went to the beach with MB and Nathan. It was so much fun!! It started out with a fight over a parking place, and a lot of drizzle, but when the sun finally came out, it was all worth it. Emma took a few minutes to get used to the water but then she had a blast. While Jacob, MB and Nathan tried to build a fort on the sand, Emma had fun trying to "dig" in the sand with them. She was covered in sand from head to toe and, of course, in the mouth as well. What do you expect? We even put Emma in "the fort" and then buried half her body. I don't even think she noticed! All in all, it made for a very fun day. Thanks MB and Nathan!!

Nice Hair!

My daughter was blessed with a full head of hair which is extremely beautiful - most of the time. This is what my daughter looks like after she sleeps. I pray she takes after her father in this aspect!

My Wonderful Husband

Not only did my wonderful husband surprise me with a birthday party and a trip to Oklahoma for my birthday(to visit a college roomate) but he did this while I was gone!! Can you believe it?? And he also did ALL of the other pending projects we needed to do to our new house like put up chair rail, second coats of paint, finish installing the garage door opener, organize the garage by installing shelving, and a few other things. What an amazing and talented husband I have!

For all those people who actually care what our new house looks like! You'll have to come over to see what everything else looks like!

New House!!

Ok...so its been awhile since our last blog but we have good reason. We moved to a new, huge house!!! We have so much space that we don't know what to do with all of it. I am sure we will fill it in due time but for now we have some empty rooms. Oh well. It's nice to have open space. We will post some pictures later but we wanted to at least get something posted this month!!

Stinkbug

Yesterday Jacob, Emma and I went to a wedding and then over to Jacob's sister's house (Deborah) to help her with something. It was a long day and we did not get home until 9:30, which is 3 hours past Emma's bedtime. Needless to say, she was pretty tired. So I took her out of the carseat and went and laid her in her bed and this is the position she put herself in. Thinking that it looked too uncomfortable, I tried to roll her over but she went right back to this. We like to think of her as our little stinkbug!

Reading Frenzy

Ok...so our lives pretty much revolve around Emma and how cute and funny she is.....but what can you do? Here is Emma trying to be like Mom and Dad and read the newspaper. When she was done trying that, she decided to just roll around in it. They used to be in a neat pile, then again, most things in our house were neat before she came along! Too stinkin' cute!
