Trunk or Treat! Smell my feet!

Yesterday, we went to our first "Trunk or Treat" at a neighborhood park. I must have had the cutest witch there. I am not sure there is much to say about Tyler, come on, be a little more creative! Anyway, it was very fun. We decorated the back of our car and played Halloween music while the little kiddies came around.



Emma was so fascinated with her cauldron! She kept pulling treats out and putting them in the wagon or giving them to her friend Hailey. Then she'd pick them up to put back in her cauldron. Meanwhile, she was snacking on licorice.

"Emma, show us your teeth!"...She is very into showing her teeth


All decked out, even down to her shoes.

Trip to Moab

For my birthday, Tyler planned a trip to moab. It was so much fun! We went to Canyonlands which was so beautiful! And if you have never eaten at Zax, you have missed out. You haven't lived, until you try their Honey Chicken Pizza!

The Joy of Emma

Nap time

This is the way Emma sleeps these days. Up on her knees with her bum in the air, and her head down. Doesn't look too comfy to me! Funny thing is, I often find her dad sleeping this very same way. But then two hours later he finally says "Amen". =D

Tyler's Birthday

So, Tyler's birthday was September 14. It actually ended up being very low key, as Emma had two ear infections and possible pneumonia. We nixed our plans for the day and stayed home and ordered pizza. But don't feel too bad for Tyler because he got this very fabulous cake!! One of a kind!! Those of you who know Tyler know that he has a thing for Dunford Chocolate donuts. So, for his birthday he got a cake made up of his favorite treat! Happy Birthday Tyler!

Emma's Boo Boo

Mom was out at Gymboree shopp...I mean working and it was Dad's turn to babysit.... Need we say more?

Emma was so excited to be with dad she was chasing me around the house. I was unloading some things from my truck and she decided to follow me out. Looking back to see that she stopped at the doorway I was sure that she knew to stop as she had done so in the past. Silly me to think that. After not listening to Lauri warn me countless times to watch her, she took a dive out the front door onto the conrete patio, earasing her nose. Needless to say, I could not get over what I had allowed to happen. (And of course what was Lauri going to say when she got home.) The most sweet thing about the whole deal is that after a brief cry she was back to her happy self. She was smiling and playing and I couldn't see how...her face looked terrible, these pictures don't do it justice, they were a few days later...what a sweet baby we have!

Can anyone see Emma?

Emma gets so excited some times you just can't help but laugh. She must really like her camo outfit from Uncle Brad & Aunt Robin or...

...She was calling in a Buck Deer for the boys to shoot (Which we never saw) B-)

Bow Hunt '07

Emma got a new bike trailer for the bow hunt. Mom ended up pulling it more because dad was out of shape...Too many Dunford donuts that summer =)


Emma and Dad about to head out on a 4-wheeler ride!


Success!!....It was hard getting Emma to take her naps with all the fun going on outside. So finally we resorted to going in circles around the campsite on the 4-wheeler till she fell asleep.


Cool Baby!!!!

Birthday Cake

Emma wasn't quite sure what to think about her cake.......














....but she got over that fast, once she had a taste!
















Pretty soon she had it all over the place, including up her nose!

Emma's 1st Birthday

Emma's Birthday dinner was made up of all her fav's. As you can see , watermelon was a must.
