Friday Night...

Well... we lost the game unfortunatly... however the good news is that this wasn't a district game... which means it didn't really count. In other news... Emma did another outstanding job at the game! She sat on my lap and also in her car-carrier (which I brought into the stands with us)throughout the entire game. She finally fell asleep about 5 minutes before the game ended which was around 10pm. 3 hours past her bedtime! I've attached a couple of pictures from this evening! Have a great Saturday!

Friday!

Yay for Friday's!!! Tonight Emma and I are going to the highschool football game to cheer on Rockwall and Trav! Emma went to her first football game last week and did SUCH a great job! I was afraid that she would be fussy since the game started around her bedtime. She didn't cry or fuss even once... just sat on my lap the entire game! She loves to look at and be around other people so it kept her entertained the whole time! I've attached a picture of us at the game... as you can see she is quite interested in the people around us:) Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Here is Emma and her new babbling word "baa-baa"

Enjoy:)

Emma's Sweater...

Grandma Smith... here's the sweater that Mom made for Emma:) Isn't this picture a crack-up?! Love you!

We're back!!!

Hello! We are finally home and back into the swing of things! The past month has been incredibly busy! We spent a week in Arkansas camping with the Kroese side....then Beka came home with the 3 of us for a week... then Emma and I took Beka home and we stayed in Missouri for a week. And now we're back home and we're finally getting back into a normal routine and schedule!
Emma has grown TREMENDOUSLY over the past month! We went to her 6 month checkup and as usual she is way off the chart in heigth! She figured out how to roll over from her back to her stomache while we were in Missouri (the little toot did it while I was away... but lucky Grandma and Uncle Timmy were the ones to see her do it for the first time!!!!)... the days of her laying in one spot are OVER! :) I'll set her down and leave the room for a minute and then I'll return and she'll be all the way across the room. She gets stuck underneath the couch and ottoman quite frequently! I'll try to do a better job of updating from now on! Hope everyone is doing well!

4th of July

We had a very relaxing Fourth! We spent most of the day lounging around the house... it was so nice! Then in the evening we went over to Hank and Tricia's for supper and fireworks! The first 2 pics that I posted are from the 4th evening..and the last 2 are from the morning of the 4th out on our front porch!
This is a shorter post than usual... we're getting organized and packed for our vacation with the Kroese side!!! We leave tomorrow and will be gone almost a week! I'll post pics when we get back! Have a great week!

Sitting!!!

This past week Emma has begun to sit all by herself! She can't sit UP by herself but if we set her on her bottom she'll sit in the same spot for up to 20 seconds (that's the record time as of this evening... her dad in true coaching style has been timing her on his stop-watch:) ). I posted two pictures of her in action... the top one of her and her little hippo toy sitting together is my favorite! As for rolling over she still can only roll from her front to her back. I'm pretty sure if she wanted to she could roll from her back to her front... but frankly I don't think she has any desire to do so.
The past two weeks we've been spending our afternoons at the pool. I've been teaching swimming lessons for some friends of ours at their community pool. Trav watches Emma while I teach... they swim together for awhile and then she takes a nap for the rest of the afternoon in her stroller.
It's time for Emma's bed on this end... Trav is trying to keep her entertained while I finish this up! Hope all is well with everyone! Have a great 4th of July!
