Deep In the Heart of TX....

That is where Emmi and I were on Saturday & Sunday this weekend for Cousin Amanda's wedding reception. She got married on 10/14 in Hawaii but had a reception at Joe T's in Ft Worth for those of us who couldnt make it to the wedding.

I was worried about our flights since you just never know. To get there Emmi was falling asleep before we left the ground and slept for a good 45 minutes. She then was great the rest of the flight playing with magazines and random stuff. Of course it was crazy busy once we got there. Emmi played with her second cousins and fit in great as they are in ages of, 1.5 (Jamison), 2(Preston), 3(Noah), and 4(Tristan). Plus all my cousins were around so the extra eyes was so nice.

I only brought my point and shoot camera so my pics arent that great. But here is one of my Cousins Amy, Amanda and Tristan(Matt's Daughter) with Matt waving.



Here is Emmi eating her fajita chicken, and rice.

Here she is with Grandpa. She did great considering we didnt get there until 7:00 their time which is 8:00 our time when her bed time is typically 7:30ish.


The flight home was good. It is always interesting when you are trying to nurse your baby as you take off sitting in the middle seat. Emmi didnt nap until we were decending. So needless to say the flight was busy for us. :^)

While we were away the Daddy kept busy by riding his bike in the mtns, painting the hallway so that is almost done, and doing trailwork.

Thanks everyone for a great weekend.

She's a rocking

While I was in the office I could hear Emmi talking and just being loud having a good time. When I walked in to her room this is what I found her doing.

Bathtime fun

What a cute little face.

Here are a couple pics we took of Emmi last night in the tub. I have taken 3 different classes on how to use my camera and yesterdays was lighting so had to play with the flash last night. :^)

Halloween

Well Trick or Treating was very eventful as we hit 3 houses. :^) She got a balloon and I got candy at one house. We took pics after we got home so Emmi was done so the pics arent that great. But here she is in the pumpkin costume that I made.

This is what she did last night with the costume. Guess it makes a good pillow to watch TV on.

Sew what?

I had a couple mommies over on Saturday night for a craft night. I had decided I wanted to make an outfit for Emmi. So here is a sneak peak since she was fast asleep when I finished.

Her crawl is super fast now, no more army crawl unless she is holding something and trying to crawl. This weekend she pushed her push toy across the room, it stopped at the footstool we have against the couch. She managed to climb on the toy, to the footstool on to the couch. Emmi is taking things to new levels. In the past day or so we have caught her standing for a second or two. Totally random and only on a few occasions but we know what will be coming.

Now that her outfit is done I will have to snap some new pics of her to post up in it. :^)

Pumpkin Patch

The Mommies group I am a part of met at the Pumpkin Patch today. There was a hayride which took us to where the animals were. We saw rabbits, cows, ducks, pigs, and goats. Then when the hayride was over we each got to pick out a pumpkin and could check out a tractor. The tractor was just like the one Jacob used to ride on as a kid at his Pops house. Here are some pics from the day.

As a side note my friend Ashley also let us try her Beco Butterfly carrier while there. Becides the jogging stroller we arent stroller people and we often carry Emmi everywhere. I am in love. I never should have messed with the Bjorn. You can wear it on your back or front. You can use it until they are 45lbs (not sure if Emmi will let me carry her that long). We are on the hunt.

Other random photos to share....

This is what she did with her Halloween decals that are suppose to go on the windows.

Emmi has a new best friend.
