Emma and a hose!!!

It's Official

We close Tues. (Please look past the weeds!!!)

A beautiful day

I grew up in Dallas and I went for the very first time EVER!!! To the Dallas Arboretum. Its soooo said, I know.

Emma and her friend Sophie (i wish my grass looked that this)
We played in the water

and some more water

there was a petting zoo for Tiny tots Tuesday

and i am trying to be a good mom and get Emma to wear her sunglasses. Isnt she the cutest thing!!!

Snow Day + Daddy's day off= GREAT DAY!!!

We went for a walk in the snow. (I really tried to get her to play in the snow but it was new and she wanted nothing to do with it. )

The front of our house before we got another 2 inches.

This is the bush out of our kitchen window. Plus I love the amount of snow on the fence and the neighbors house.

New Pups!!!!

My mom got a new puppy (and is trying to sell the other one if any one knows of anyone that wants an amazing puppy!!)

Sterling didnt want to have anything to do with these pups. Guess what i just found on my moms camera.

Where did January go??

I turned another year older in January and we were all throw uppy sick so we didnt really celebrate. (I decided it means my birthday didnt happen!) We did end up going out the weekend after my birthday on Saturday during the day. Which, I have decided is the best way to "go out" when you have small children. We dropped Emma off with my dad about noon, then we went to lunch and went and saw Avatar (best movie in a very long time) at 2:30. We then went back and picked her up from my dad at 5:30. and then we took her with us and went to dinner. We spent 5 1/2 hours alone!!! That would never happen at night or we would be out past midnight and I dont think i can stay awake that late anymore.

Here are some of the very few pictures i took during Janauray and into Feb.

Play date with Sophie, There are in the middle of the exercauser that I had to take the seat out of so they both could play in it at once.

Most nights, This is how Emma hangs out, sitting in Daddy's lap, watching tv, or reading books.

Last weekend we babysat Abbie and all Emma wanted to do was play in the dog crate, so we decided to buy her a tent. Everything is better when daddy plays with you.

Emma LOVES to hang out in our bed. But it has to be made first. The pillows have to be stacked just perfecty and she HAS to be able to pull ALL the covers up.

Uncle Spencer came to visit

Sterling's youngest brother, Spencer, and his friend Ben came to visit us over New Year's weekend. We had a blast mostly just hanging out and being funny.

We did take them for a day out in downtown Dallas.

First to the "Grassy Knoll" to see where JFK was killed. (Neither 23 yr old understood that JFK was shot here in Dallas until we were there-this makes me sad for the Vegas public school system)

This was Emma's view.

Then to the park by the city buildings to see the running of the longhorns.

The boys thought they were going to be funny and try to get her to say bad things. HAHAHA to them she didnt say one thing!!!! Unfortunetly after they left, she learned to climb even more. I missed getting the shot were her foot is up on the table.
