The Biosphere 2

We had some visitors come the end of November and we decided to take a trip out to the Biosphere 2. (what's Biosphere 1 you might ask? Well, it's the Earth!) It was just recently named to Time Magazines 50 must see places in the World. It was interesting to learn and amazing to see the architecture and what went into building it. Emmy was a little bored, but she did well and was a trooper throught the hour long tour. Now just 49 more places to see! :) yeah right!

Happy Halloween!

We had a great halloween! Emmy was a cute pink puppy dog. It was fitting since she has now taken to pretending that she is a dog, ALL the time! We did a little trick or treating, but she was done pretty quick and was asking to go home. I guess I should be grateful for that since I'm sure it won't always be that way. :) Hope you had a great one too!

Sad Puppy (she was actually whimpering when we took this)

Happy barking puppy

Silly puppy!

Pumpkins!

We had a great time carving pumpkins yesterday. Emmy was really into it and amlost did her whole pumpkin! She wouldn't stick her hand in it and did NOT want to get dirty, but she liked poking and cutting. What's strange is that she did like getting her hands dirty to clean the seeds with me.

Our Garden

Over Labor day we started a garden. I was worried because I have a BLACK thumb, but it has turned out great. Everything has sprouted and it's been really fun for Emmy to watch things grow. The last picture is our garden today! I am happy to report that we will be having tacos for dinner tonight and using our own grown cliantro and lettuce. Can't wait! Oh, the satisfaction!!!

Joey's Birthday

Joey had his birthday party a few weeks ago. The kids had a great time. It was also the first time that we had all 5 of the grandkids together. Enjoy some pictures!
