I guess I should start catching up:)

How can it already be June? Spring has quickly passed us by and we've had a busy wonderful time. I'll start with Easter:) Bobbin and her sweet tea party friends hosted a FUN Easter egg hunt for their grandchildren. Emmie Grace had the best time!!! She is so her mother's child when it comes to egg hunting...very competitive and wanting to find the most eggs. I loved how seriously she took this.

All By Myself

Emmie Grace loves to do things all by herself, it comes out "my by myself". Just one of those sayings I want to remember:)

New Boots

Emmie Grace loves her new pink boots!!!! She's wanted to wear them with everything these past few months.

"Baby Corgell"

Thanks to my sister we now have several babies with the lovely name "Corgell". I don't even really know how to spell this to get the name across. It all started when Leslie called one of EG's Corelle babies this name. For some reason EG really liked it and the name Corgell stuck. When people ask EG what's her baby's name and I say "Corgell", it never fails...we get weird looks. Oh well, EG loves playing mommy to her main Corgell baby!!!

Crawling and Cats

Emmie Grace loves to crawl around and tell me "this is how baby Regan crawls". She's so proud of her cousin for learning how to crawl. We also had a fun surprise on our front porch!!!

Such a Big Girl

Looking at these pictures it's really hit me!!! I don't have a baby any more, she's turned into a little girl.

Arts and Crafts

I bought EG a felt board and she LOVES it. Her favorite story is the "Three Bears"...she will play for 20-30 minutes just telling the story to herself. EG also has learned to use glue and was very proud that she glued papers to her hand.

Juicing

How do you get your 2 year old to eat all this. Oh, that's right...impossible, so why not juice it all. Emmie Grace loves helping juice different things, it's more fun to drink it after you've helped make it:)

The Circus

Thanks Mimi and "Sessie Brook" (my sister, Leslie) for a fun time at the circus. Sorry you had such a hard time with my camera

Just In Time

We were so thankful to make it to the Grand Canyon about thirty minutes before sunset. We went to Mathers Point and took in the breath taking views. Dave and I were both so glad we had decided to drive on up even though we didn't have much time. We hiked around for awhile and looked out several different points. This truly was an amazing thing to see, so beautiful and majestic.

Second Stop....Sedona

Seeing the beautiful red rock in Sedona was amazing....since we were trying to make it to the Grand Canyon before sunset we made this a quick lunch break.

Montezuma Castle

While in Arizona we didn't want to miss the opportunity to see a few sites. Our first stop was Montezuma Castle National Monument.

WAR EAGLE!!!!

To say the least we were so excited to make it to the game...it seems it was meant to be....with our plane being the last one to make it out on Sunday (due to weather) and being able to get GREAT priced tickets the Friday before the game. We had a GREAT trip!!! Dave and I both lost our voices for a few days from all the screaming and yelling, but it was well worth it.
p.s. The mini van made the trip even more fun:)

Loving all the snow

How does one stay warm in an old house

Just sit on the vent!!! I guess warmer clothes might help too. Emmie Grace really does get excited when the heat kicks on and runs to stay warm on the vent.

Christmas 2010

We so enjoyed watching Emmie Grace really get into Christmas this year. She loved doing her advent calender each night, reading about "baby" Jesus, wrapping presents for people, watching Elf, singing Jingle Bells and her "favorite song" Santa Clause Is Coming To Town, and so many other things. I loved that she ate most of Santa's cookies and milk and she loved reading The Night Before Christmas with her daddy. Christmas morning Santa did come and he brought EG's baby with a "pappy" along with several other surprises. Santa even surprised mommy with a Thomas train set which stole the show and is still doing so. After opening presents at our house we went on to the Coopers and then to my family. We had such a wonderful Christmas and we're so thankful to have the best family and friends to celebrate with.
