9 months and Everywhere!!

Well Emma is now 9 months old!!

She has been pretty busy this last month!! She now pulls herself up on the couch and crawls (when she feels like it, otherwise its an army crawl!)

Still no teeth, I'm holding out for a year like Madison!!
I also now know how it feels to have a kid that gets into EVERYTHING!!! It makes me miss Madison being that age and I didn't have to worry about her putting stuff in her mouth or getting into my stuff!! But still Madison wasn't half as smilie as Emma and I LOVE that!!

5 generation pictures!!

So here are the long awaited 5 generations pictures!! My great grandma actually passed away a couple weeks ago and it makes me appreciate even more that we were able to go down and see her!! She was such a great woman!!
Here is Emma with her great great grandma and Grammie!!

Easter---Really late!!!

Well here is our Easter REALLY late!! Things have been crazy!! We ended up at my sister Brya's in Fernley and had a lot of fun. We decided to stray from the norm and have chicken curry for dinner instead of Ham!! It was great!! We were even able to see Brya sing in church so it was a great Easter!!

Here's Emma with the book she got!!

(Yes she did go in for the kill!!)
Here are the kids after the Easter Egg hunt!!

The girls!!

And all the kids together!! I thought they looked so cute!!!

Wedding

Well we got back late last night from Washington and so glad to be home!! We had a lot of fun but it was a quick LONG trip!! For those who don't know we went to my little brother Charlie's wedding. He got married on Saturday.

So here is the happy couple!! Charlie and Janet Schmidtlein!!

Here's the three girls, their colors are black and red.

Then just my two cuties!!

Madison of coarse took advantage of the dance floor!! It was so cute she was dancing the majority of the time!!

We were all exhausted when Saturday was over but Madison was still ready to go!! She was so excited when her grandpa made the scooter her size!!

Eight Months

So first I should let everyone know that there is a reason I post EVERY month of Emma's life!! My sister Tara told me that she takes pictures of her kids on every month so she and they can see the changes when they are older. I thought that it was a GREAT idea since they do change So much in their first year!! So I decided to do that with my kids. But I found that I am not so good at remembering which month in which unless I label them right away. (Madison has some that might not be exact!!) So now I figure if I post them I won't be able to forget!!

So here is month eight!!


We had a lot of fun doing these ones!! Of coarse Madison had to have some taken of her after!!

I just think she looks so sweet in this one!


I know that I'm crazy with all the pictures but I just can't help it, she is just so dang cute!! Just be glad I only showed five there were around 100!! Maybe more!!

A Few Random Thoughts

OK, First of all SNOW, Seriously!!! SNOW!! I am so not impressed we have been having nice warm days in the 70"s!!! Now today I look out the window and SNOW!!!

Really it's obviously a dusting but, SERIOUSLY!!!

Second, I actually successfully french braided Madison's hair. She has very fine hair so its pretty tricky, but Traci did it the other day so I knew it could be done!! So here it is, don't look to close!!


Thirdly, this little BEAST is killing me!! She is blowing raspberries EVERY time I feed her!! So we are now down to stripping her down and apron on me!! Still I get covered all the way up to my glasses!! ANY suggestions?!

And fourth, here are some pictures by our budding photographer!!

I think she was trying to take a picture of Emma, but who knows!


Orange box, because that is a VERY interesting picture!!

Foot!!


Chap stick on chair!!


Don't even ask!! I think we would call it nastiness!!

The brave little toaster!!

You should have seen some of the other ones, they would have been great for that game that you look at a picture that's really zoomed in and have to figure out what it is!!

Color!!

So I just had to comment on my colorful blog!! I KNOW, its super colorful, but I couldn't resist, I'm just SO excited for spring!! Sorry!!!
