HOME YAY!!!!

We had a wonderful time at home with our suprise visit!!! Thank you sisters for helping it happen and getting us there around. Emma just loved the farm and playing outside. I wish it was a little nicer weather, but an definatly not jealous of your 95 and humid today, LOL. Glad it was a little cooler than that. We made it to IL with out Mom or Dad knowing and were able to stay at Sara's and suprise them both the next day. We met Dad at Wendy's for lunch and he parked right next to us, I waved and he was sure shocked when it all hit him. Then mom and dad and Sara were in the kitchen and I walked in with Emma and said hi. Mom about fainted, LOL she was so so suprised that she couldn't get her breathe back. It was two great great reactions, that is for sure. We had a wonderful week and got to see a lot of family and friends. Emma did absolutely wonderful on the whole trip!!!
Mom or someone taught Emma to wash her hands here after playing in the sand box, she caught on quick and wanted to turn it on!


My pretty little girl!



Playing in the new Sandbox the first one to use it!! Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for getting the sand for me!

My Grandparents are the best!! They love me so much.

I got an egg, but a minute later triped and cracked it, awww man!

She loved the "bac, bacs" chicken a lot.

Aww, cute little nappers!

It was nice enough one day to get in the sprinkler. She had a great time.

GRASS!!

We had a WONDERFUL TRIP back home and thanks for everything guys. It was a long drive home that night, but we made it safe and when I pulled in the driveway I saw GRASS!!!!! YAY
Finally we have a yard, kinda it is getting there. I had to back up and shine the headlights around to see it. It was very exciting to come home to see it has grow! All the rain is good, but am very sick of it now,


Very thin right now, but will grow and fill in, the lilacs are startign to bloom, we are way behind here, lol. Don't have any good pics of grass cause I was sick and still feel yucky and can't take Emma out with me cause she will get in the mud and I will have a mess, so the pics are just taken out the deck.




What, our yard is green, WOW!! So crazy and fun. I am way excited for t to get like mom and dad's grass, might take a year though, lol.

Circus!!!!

I took Emma to her first Circus last night!! I thought it would be dumb and it was a lot of money, but it was definatly worth it. They had all kinds of entertainers and animals. There were tigers and lions that jumped threw a hoop of fire, Gymnists, skaters, motorbike riders in the cage, Elephant stunts, hoolahoopers, jugglers, and more!!
The elephants were awesome! They did some really cool tricks and were huge!



Oh man a dude rode in the wheel and walked in circles. I was scared for him and he even went on the top of it. It was crazy.



During intermission, they had Elephant rides, and they were awesome.

I spoiled Emma and let her get her face painted. She is a tiger!! Was really cute until she touched her face before it was dry and smeared it all over. Oh well, everyone thought she was the cutest thing.

She went on a pony ride too. Jenny helped her so she wouldn't fall off and she took Jenny's hands away cause she is a big girl and doesn't need any help, lol. She really enjoyed the horses!!!!

In the process of face painting!!

Mountain Man Activities!!

We went to a fun Mountain Man event that was just a few minutes away out in the woods. It is a week long event and people bring thier teepees and set up shop for a while. You can go camping there and just enjoy Idaho History. Emma liked this bean bag game.


Everyones shops!

We got Emma a cute handmade bonnet from a shop there.

She saw some Indian baby dolls and thought they were cool.

All the Indian/Mountian man souveniers that they sell. Jake bought a knife and I got a braclet. Very fun to take Emma and show her everything. We had a good time!!!

Emma Girl

Well her expression isn't the greatest, but she is still cute!


I brought her stroller in and it entertained her for a long time. She asked me to open it and she climbed in and out of it and even had a snack sitting in her stroller.




Playing in her room is more fun when it is purple and decorated. I often find her sitting in there reading and getting toys out, so silly!!! She is a great little girl and I am sure grateful for her.

Emma's New Room!!!

We got ambitious and decided to paint Emma's room!! I have been dreaming about what I want it to look like but never thought I would actually do it, lol! Jenny helped me and it didn't take long at all we went to buy the paint, then got inspired and had to do a little bit before bed!!


It is a lilac, lavender color. The first coat is on and Emma decided she wanted to help a little too. She got a hold of the roller and on the way to the wall ended up getting her dresser. She thought she was cool for helping us, lol.

Also Emma's doing. Don't worry it all came clean and looks spotless.

Starting to look done, just have the top edges to do.

The finished product~~~ YAY

It looks so good. We took the board down with all the pictures, Emma found it on the ground and picked up a picture of mom and dad and said, "Grandma, Grandpa"!! She knows your pictures, mom and dad. She will be so excited to see you this summer hopefully! I thought is was funny and she really knows who you are so doing worry~~

We decided to spice it up with some bubbles on one wall. Emma loves it. She looks at the walls and says "pretty pretty" she also says "bubbles" and goes to the wall and rubs the bubbles. She loves it so far and I am very happy with the results!! Now we might tackle another project, LOL!
