Mema Horse

Mema is so much fun! She'll play all sorts of things with Emma that I won't! She makes such a great horse! Mema horse needed to stop and eat at the trough. Notice Emma's "stirrups" and how happy she is. My mom is probably going to hate that I put these pictures up, but it just shows what a great Mema Emma has!! =)

First Official Dance Class

So my mom and I bought Emma her first pair of ballet and tap shoes and tights. Luckily I already had the leotard, which I need to get a new one, I had to sew up a hole in this one, oh well, it will work for now. She looked so cute. After the class Emma told me that her "dance class was wonderful".

Thanksgiving

We spent Thanksgiving with our friends this year. We drove out to Tyler and stayed for a few nights. It was nice to spend time with a big family and not have to cook or do much, especially since I am still feeling a little bit puny sometimes. Here are a few pictures with the girls all dressed in their jammies.

Family Holliday Pictures '07

Once again we went to Kiddie Kandids to get our yearly family pictures. Yeah, yeah, I know, I am married to a photographer. But do you know how hard it is to take your own family pictures with a two year old that won't sit still long and look at the camera half the time? Well, that is why we go. Kiddie Kandids are so great with Emma. I think our pictures turned out pretty good. Kevin and I even got a picture of together.

Bubbles Bubbles Everywhere... But not a drop to drink

Static Electricity

Again I took Emma to the park today since the weather has been so nice. She will finally go down the slide now, there for a while she was afraid and wouldn't go down the slide at all. When she went down the slide her hair stood up in all directions, it was quiet humorous!

Dancing?

So, my mom convinced me to check out this dance studio not to far from us. They have a toddlers class starting from age 2 that meets in the evening, right after nap time! We decided to go check it out. It was neat because you could sit outside the dance studio and watch into the class. Well, Emma was watching what was going on and she was mimicking what the teachers were doing. After a few minutes the teacher came out and let Emma attend the class! Emma started out the class doing very well, she was following what the teachers were doing. After about 15 min she started doing her own thing. At one point she was running around in circles around all the kids and teachers while all the other kids stood still so nicely. I was totally embarrassed. A couple of the other mom's said that their kids did that at first too. Needless to say Emma loved the dance class. And she learned how to do the shuffle step! Ok, now I'm sold. Mom and I signed Emma up for the class and we are splitting the fees, which aren't to bad. I guess now we need to buy her some tap and ballet shoes!

Trick or Treat

This year Emma was a butterfly for Halloween. I think I only spent about $5 on the whole costume. I bought a three pack of butterfly/angel wings at a consignment sale for $3. Then I needed to get something for antennas, that is where pipe cleaners come in handy. I already had the headband, bucket, black tights and leotard! I love saving money!

Emma totally loved going out. This year she finally got saying "Trick or Treat", although we still had to prompt her some. Of course she loved getting the candy, which we only allowed her a few pieces afterwards. One of our neighbors had a really scary house and she wouldn't go up to it, she cried and clung to our necks every time we even suggested going to the door. Luckily the neighbor came out to her on the sidewalk. It was fun, I love Halloween!
Kevin and I being silly while we were out. I'm sure he'll hate this picture being up on the blog, but I don't care, I think it's cute!

Beautiful Weather

The weather lately has been fantastic!!! I've been trying to get out during the day to the park and let Emma play especially since I feel worse in the evenings. Luckily Kevin is home in the evenings to help with dinner and bedtime routines. Emma just loves to swing! I just think she looks so cute in pigtails too!

Tyler

Emma and I drove out to Tyler to see Laura and Maddy (Anna and John too!) for a few days. At this point I'm starting to not feel so well, so it was nice to go and sit and have someone else cook for me and help take care of Emma. Sure makes me realize how much I miss them though.

Singing and Dancing

Emma is such a little superstar! Hehehe.

Pretty Princess

Yeah, I guess that says it all...

Multi Talented

Not only can Emma sing and dance, but she can do it all while sucking her thumb! Hehehe. I don't know why, but lately Emma has been "dancing" by walking around in circles. Kind of like a dog trapped in the kennel. I guess I need to get out more! Maybe I should get her into dance lessons so that she can actually learn how to dance. I bet she would love that! =)

Pumpkin Patch '07

The weather was beautiful today and I haven't started feeling to horrible yet, so I thought I would take Emma to the pumpkin patch today. I was even brave and did the hay ride, which I thought I might regret, but it wasn't so bad.

Hay Ride

Bounce House

Playing Around!

Blue Snow Cone, yummy!

Playing Around

I was bored today. So I cracked out the camera and took some pictures of Emma and I. I took about 35 pictures. Here are some really cute ones.



























This one isn't very cute of me, but it's the first picture Emma has ever taken. She didn't do such a bad job. Maybe she will become a photographer like her daddy!

Dressing Up

Emma loves to play dress up. She is such a little girl. I think for Christmas we will get her some dress up outfits, I just know she will love them. Sometimes she puts on the most random stuff. She is wearing her blue dinosaur p.j.'s, pink ballerina skirt, and she has on a gold and pink shoe. She is also wearing my green turtle Mardi-Gras beads and the ladybug hat she made in Gymboree. And in one hand she is holding her princess wand and in the other a pinwheel. Oh, and she has her yellow sunglasses on upside down!! Hehehe. I guess she gets her fashion style from me. =)
