Emma's Second Birthday`

Our little girl is two years old....Wow how time flew by. We enjoyed her birthday for a whole week. I swear we had a cupcake at least 4 nights in a row. All she could talk about was her birthday and the cupcakes and baoons. Andy and I would put her to bed and she would make us promise that we would bring cupcakes and baoons to her birthday party. We had a great time with family and friends and all the little one's running around. You forget how much fun you had at your Birthday Parties growing up, until you have the chance to throw a kids party. Pin the Bow on Ollivia, cottonballs stuck on noses, flying kites, and just good ol belly laughing....kids sure do know how to have a good time! I will post pictures soon!

Christmas season

MMMMMmmmm sugar!

Let it snow!

Brushing off the Snow from the Snowman!

Emma loves snowman as much as her momma!

We had a great weekend with Hope and Hailey! I made sugar cookies and the girls decorated them...Emma licked all the sugar off the top of hers! We received over a foot of snow on Saturday so Uncle Andy went out and pushed the snow up in a hill and the girls went tubing while Emma slept. We made a few messes and laughed a lot...tis the season to enjoy family and friends! Happy HOlidays to all of our familys far and near! We love you all!

The Bacons.

Woke up this morning to my 19 month old telling me "Mommy, I want a healthy lunch!" Who says these kinds of things! It was a great way to start my day, a long laugh and her repeating it over and over.

A lot has changed in the last couple of months. We visited Children's Hospital 2 months ago because the doctors were concerned with the circumference of Emma's head. Turns out she just has a large head. That was a sigh of relief for Andy and I. Talk about nerve racking.

Emma is talking in sentences and is always surprising us with something new.

Summer was a blast. We went to Kansas with the whole family, waterparks, took a train ride, enjoyed the fair and parade, went trick or treating, went to the pumpkin patch and corn maze, and shared many more firsts with our little one. We are truely blessed to have such great family and friends and hope everyone's holiday season (yes the holidays are near!) is spectacular!

Summer 2010

What a great summer... we started off our summer with camping with our great friends Mike and Nichole and their little man Cale over in Vantage. We took the horses and 4-wheelers and cruised the dunes. The little ones had a good time on their big adventure, and so did mom's and dad's. Then my whole family took a road trip to Kansas. All of us girls traveled together and stopped at Mount Rushmore (what a great place!) Then we headed on into Kansas to hang out with the family for the next week at the lake. It was great to see everyone and to introduce Ms. Emma to the rest of the crew. Emma was a champ at the road trip. I truly believe she enjoyed having so many great people so close to her...including her cousins Hope and Hailey.

The rest of the summer we have been playing in the pool (Emma LOVES the water, as long as it is on her terms) and spending lots of time with good family and friends. BB Q's, Monday night dinners with the Moore's and just a lot of good memories made.

Emma is talking like crazy, she has started putting sentences together like I want to go with Daddy! I want some more please! etc....

We are truly blessed to have such wonderful friends, family and a Beautiful little girl that makes us smile and laugh every day.

Hope every one's summer is fun and fabulous!

Through the year!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY EMMA!!!

Today is the one year mark of Emma filling our lives with so much love and joy. I look back and can't think of one bad thing that happened to us in the last year. Crazy, I know that we had colds and fevers and up all nights...but every last bit of that bad stuff is completely fogged over by the giggles and all the first we have witnessed. It was a little sad to admit that one year has come and gone, but on the other hand one year of nothing but fun and loving memories have been created and permanently imprinted in my soul.

We have a birthday party planned for this saturday with family and friends and then we are off to the woodland park zoo on sunday. I can't wait to see her little face when she sees the monkeys and zebras. Her favorite animal right now is her kitty cat Charlie but she might fall in love with a new kitty cat (a very large and dangerous Kitty Cat) this weekend at the zoo...who knows...it is all going to be so new and exciting and I just can't wait!

Love you Ms. M's you are spectacular!
