Christmas Pictures!

1st Birthday and Halloween!

Our little one is one!!!!!



Emily opened lots of gifts!


Wwweeeee!


Awe! Emily got to play with Jayda and Abby! They were so cute!


Emily had helped to make her cake the day before!


MMMMMmmmmm...cake!



Here's Emily after opening her gifts from Eliza, Brandon, and Annie! She loved it...even the box.


Emily made monkey stew! mmmmm.....


Here we are carving pumpkins! I love it! Emily helped me take the guts out!


Happy Halloween! So I wore the cat makeup for the picture, but mom as a cat was just way too scary for Emily!! It was so sad! hehe Once I cleaned it off she was so relived and was glad mom was back.


I was happily surprised that Emily didn't cry when we put her sheep outfit on her this time =) Here she is with Tigger, her favorite kitty in the whole world!


We took Emily trick or treating around the Elmer's neighborhood. It was so cute! Emily walked with us, carrying her pumpkin bucket and we went up to people's doors and we said "trick or treat" for her of course. She wasn't too shy and took candy.


Our pumpkins! One is Stephanie's and the cat one is ours/Emily's.



Emily loved sorting and taking in and out her candy.

Fall Fun!

Bryce and Stephanie came with us to Bate's Nut Farm! I've always wanted to go check it out. It was really fun! They have huge pumpkin patches, kid games, a straw maze, petting zoo, and fair type food etc.


Emily had a blast running through the straw maze...and so did we!




Emily loved romping through the huge pumpkin patch. She hugged them and pounded on them.


We recently decided to take a day trip up to Big Bear to feel like it's fall. It was a rainy/misty day up there, but it was really fun and it's gorgeous up there. Here's a pic. of where we ate lunch and then we walked around town.


This was a really pretty view. Emily was sleeping so we actually got a picture of just us two!


The crisp cold air made Emily really excited!!!


Here we are at the lake! There were some ducks who came to visit us, but quickly left once they saw we didn't have food for them. Emily liked them and she liked the rocks.


Emily met LOTS of teddy bears in a teddy bear shop!


Weee!!! Emily LOVES the swings at parks!
