Emily at Mothers Day Out

I went to pick Emily up from Mothers Day Out and this is what she was doing....





She was still napping, notice the shoe!

Galveston

So, the last post was when we went to Galveston on August 31st. That is eleven days before Hurricane Ike hit. We had a great time and Emily LOVED the water and learned to like the sand. Anyway, I got to thinking how she got to see the beach and eat at the ice cream place on the Strand just before Ike. If we went today it would not be the same place. Kind of sad to realize that. I remember going to Galveston and eating at the same ice cream shop (La Kings) with my parents. I hope they can recover and open back up. My prayers go out to those who suffered from Ike.

Day Trip To Galveston.

Baby Ducks

We started feeding the ducks in our neighborhood and found out that one had babies. So, we started going each week to watch them grow up. Here they are in three stages and then..... We found another bunch of babies. We plan to watch them grow up too. They are so cute!

Dog Bite.

When I went back to work, I was taking Emily with me to walk dogs. Well, we had a little accident. One of my clients dogs got Emily in the face when they were playing ball. It was an accident, the dog is very sweet. Unfortunately is was pretty bad for Miss Em. She had to get stitches and that was not fun. Here she is after the stitches. Don't worry everything looks fine now, and she still plays with the dog!

We're BACK!!!!

Long time no blog. Things got crazy with me going back to work and Emily starting Mothers Day Out. Then came Ike, travel and....... so anyway we are back. I am about to post a bunch so that I can catch up. Enjoy!

Bruce ate Emily!!

Bruce (Emily's stuffed lion) decided to eat Emily during her nap! I thought is was so funny to find her like this when she was taking a nap:)

Straight Hair!!!!

Emily saw me doing my hair one morning and asked if I would do her hair. "Fix hair Mommy". So, here she is with her hair straightened. It's cute, but I still LOVE her curls!!! What do you think?

Mommy's Little Helper

Emily has started to show interest in helping around the house now. She loves to help me load the dishwasher, do laundry and even vacuum. I was vacuuming the other day and she wanted to help so bad. She couldn't really push the big vaccum, so I got out the dust buster for her. She LOVED it! Here she is, mt big helper.

Miss Pig Tails.

Growing up!

We went to my nephews graduation dinner this weekend. I can't believe he is going to college now! We are so proud of him, and he is going to be an AGGIE. Whoop! Anyway we got some great pics of the the kids. They are so cute and growing up way too fast :)

Toddler Bed.

Well, Miss Emily has moved on to a toddler bed! She had started climbing out of her crib and greeting me in the morning with a smile DOWNSTAIRS. So, we decided it was time for the toddler bed. We were a little concerned with how she would do, and how many times she was going to get up. Last night was the first night, and she was WONDERFUL. We put her to bed, read a book and said a prayer closed the door and waited. Waiting....Waiting.... waiting...NOTHING. I go in to check on her and she was out. We are sooo lucky to have such ans angel.

Here she is in her new bed, sleeping away.

Visit with The Gateley Family.

We went to Dallas this weekend for our Godson's baptism. The Gateley's live in Portland, so we don't get to see them very much. They have family in Dallas, so we got to stay with them all weekend! We had a great time visiting with everyone!

Visit with Family.

Mother Daughter Spa Day!

Emily and I went to a spa day at our church today. We had a great time. Emily got to have her nails painted, feet massaged, and she got to make jewelry. She had so much fun!!! They had a bathtub filled with balloons for pictures. She LOVED playing in it as you can see.

A visit to Aunt Lauri's .

Me and Em went to visit my sister this weekend. We had a great time! Emily followed my niece around everywhere. They went swimming, swinging and caught lizards in the back yard. Here are some pics of Miss. Em.
