Wedding Trip

We traveled to see the family last week and to be there for Caleb and Roses' Wedding! We had a wonderful time and though it was NOT long enough, we were able to leave with smiles on our faces knowing that most of the family would be up in a week (Lord willing!). Here's some of the photos from the trip.

Our plane was delayed 2 hours!! Emmett had plenty of time to explore.

Mom and Dad.... still in love :)

Caleb and his sisters :)

Matthew and Zoie!

Gasp! Grandpa got Emmett to sit for a book!!!! AMAZING!!!


Sorry for the poor picture quality. We didn't take our nice camera and I believe Emmett has gotten hold of this one and pressed some buttons. Hopefully I can get some better photos from the wedding and post later on.

Yeah for Ikea!

Emmett loves the Ikea toy section! Not for the toys but for this thing. He could have played all day long!!!

New Tricks

Thanks to Emmett's height he can now reach my parents' refrigerator water dispenser-- much to his excitement. I don't see any harm in playing with the water so he has a ball. We did learn the hard way though that he has to wear socks or he easily ends up on the slippery floor in a not so graceful fashion. Sorry about the sideway videos.... something with the camera phone.

Da at the Park

This video is from March but I love it. Emmett had recently started saying (well, I think he was saying) 'Dad'. Kind of. Anywho, we were at an outdoor waterpark/playground and he was expressing to everyone, very loudly, who he wanted :O)

Playground

We have a playground next to our apts. and while most of the stuff is too big for him to play on at this point, he loves the mulch. It's probably more fun than the slides and climby things combined for him... now if I can just make sure he doesn't eat any of it!

Stickers

After a morning of fun, Emmett is slowly figuring out what stickers are for!!!!

Grandpa Time!!

Grandpa had to be in the area for work so we all got to go out to eat with him and spend a little time! We were so excited and the two kiddos (for not seeing him much) took right to grandpa. Emmett was exceptionally good on grandpa's lap (and I don't think it was just the food :) .

When we took grandpa back to our place to show him around, Emmett gladly gave grandpa several of his toys for safe-keeping including: a horse, a sheep, 2 pickups, and his bright green ball! Grandpa rates VERY high as you can tell by this list!!!!

Mommy's Big Helper

I had some fabulous help making dinner the other night. We like to get pizza dough from Trader Joe's from time to time to make some yummy pizzas! Emmett has been insistent on standing on a chair and helping with meals recently. Here he is helping me get the pizza dough ready to top. (For the topping part however, he was in his chair being the official taste tester!)

Zoie Visits

We had the honor of having Zoie over one day last week. The kids had a fabulous time with the bubbles. I can honestly say that the bubble machine was one of our BEST investments!


We also went for a walk and got some very yummy ice cream! There was a mixup at the ice cream place and they were given cheese cake instead of birthday cake ice cream but from the smiles they didn't care in the least!
