Dress up

All About Emmy

I made our Halloween costumes last week and Emmy loves them!  She is going to be Pebbles Flintstone and her entourage (aka Alex and I) will be Fred and pregnant Wilma.  So look forward to Halloween pictures!  Anyway, she wants to wear her outfit and put her hair in a ponytail everyday since I tried her costume on.  So, in order to preserve her Halloween costume I got out all her princess dress ups (hooray for freecycle) and she has been wearing a different one each day.  Her Tinkerbell costume is the most poofy…so it gets picked the most!  Anyway, here is the little fairy princess in action!

Someone’s in the kitchen with mommy…

All About Emmy

Emmy has really been wanting to help me cook for a while…so I decided that I would make some banana bread and let her help!  She mashed the bananas, added ingredients, and greased the pans for me! She was soooo excited.   She named each of the loaves too.  One for mom, one for dad, one for Emmy, one for Kaylee (which I think technically means I get two!), and the rest for her Grandpas!!  🙂 She had to check it every ten minutes while it was baking…so luckily it wasn’t anything too temperamental! When the buzzer finally went off she ran around the room laughing and then straight for the kitchen!  As you can see, she enjoyed eating it too!  (Please excuse the fact that she is still in her pajamas and her hair is crazy…I looked the same way…hence I’m not in the pictures…Just one of those days)

“It’s My Chair!”

All About Emmy

These pictures were just in case you were still wondering if Emmy was a goofy kid or not!  She sure is!  These pictures depict some of her favorite things to do!  1) Take over the lazy boy chair 2) Completely surround herself in toys 3) Wear her totally awesome sunglasses and 4) put socks on her hands!  I thinks she gets it from her dad!

Corndogs on the back porch

All About Emmy

These pictures are from last month but I thought they were cute so I’m adding them now.  Travis, Lucas and Emmy played outside and had some lunch!  Emmy ate her first corndog!  She even asks for them by name now!  It sounds like this “IWANNACORNDOG”.  Kind of like one long word!  And being the tired pregnant mom that I am…I am always happy to oblige.  They are a fast lunch fix…and if I add some fruit I feel like one of those health moms.  Not to mention I choose Jif 🙂

Take me out to the ball game!

All About Emmy

We took Annah, Christina and Christian to a baseball game while they were here!   We went out to eat beforehand and Emmy really loved her cheesefries!  Here are some pictures of the evening!

All About Emmy, ,

Well, Alex thought I posted to many pictures with the last post.  But he hasn’t seen anything yet because I’ve got even more for Emmy’s birthday party!

Here are a few pictures of Emmy’s cake!  I am practicing now for when she is older and requests a bunch of crazy stuff for her birthday cake!  This time she thought it was a toy and really wanted to play with it!

Emmy’s cousins were really excited for Emmy’s presents too!  I forgot that all of Emmy’s party guests were little boys…but they did fine at the princess party!  Logan and Travis even used Emmy’s doll house as a garage for all their hotwheels!

Here are some pictures of Emmy’s totally awesome doll house!  I arrange all the furniture and play with it at night while she is asleep!  🙂

Beth got this table for Emmy from IKEA.  Emmy really wanted mom and dad to sit in it but we told her we were too big and that she had to wait for a little kid to visit.  She was so excited for it that she set all her dolls on the floor around the table and waited by the window until her cousin Logan came to play!

She was very excited when Logan and Joshua got there and made them sit down right away!
