This and That....

Well things have been pretty busy, so here is an update of what we've been up to. It seems like there is less time to sit down and fill everyone in on Emma's exciting life! By the time she goes to sleep for the night there are a thousand things to get done (laundry, dishes, cleaning,.....SLEEP!). Josh was home for the past five days and he decided he was going to put Emma down for her nap and this is how I found them. Emma does NOT like to nap, so we have to rock her and hold her until she is basically passed out before we put her in her crib, otherwise her eyes pop open and she does NOT want to sleep (and screams.....and we can't just let her scream). Anyway--aren't they cute! This was the day Josh got home so he was enjoying a little quiet time and snuggle time with his little girl. Emma will be six months old next week and I can officially say her room is complete! It has been mostly done, but there were just a few finishing touches that needed to be done. My friend Kasey painted some cute animals on the walls to go with the animal theme, they came out cute.
With all the rain lately our grass was about three feet long. So I looked outside and saw Tucker out there, you could barely see him! So cute!
Again--with all the rain our pasture and the grass on our property desperately needed mowing. So while Josh was home he worked on that.
On Saturday we headed to the Elizabeth Stampede. Emma is only 5 months old and she can say she has already been to 2 rodeos! We have been going to the Stampede since we moved out here. It is fun and so "small-townish". I don't know if that is really a description....but that is one of the reasons we moved out here for fun small town events that big cities don't really do (or they do but there is like a million people there!). Anyway---some pics of bull riding. This is always my favorite!
Emma did great at the rodeo (it was two hours!). One lady near us said "That is such a good baby I haven't heard a peep out of her this whole time! And she is so cute!" Of course she behaved---she's our child! I'm not biased or anything! I love her in hats--of course she takes after me and has a big head....this hat is sized 12 months (well that is what the tag says). I just love her in hats!
Yes this is a Coors Light cup that a beer was in, but I promise there was no beer left, but it entertained Emma for that last 45 minutes!
Josh's birthday was last week and Emma signed her first birthday card! OK--so she had a little help. Here is the front: (sorry a bit blurry)
And the inside.....I gave her a marker and she made all those marks! Of course when we were finished she had marker all over her hands.
