Emmy & her cousins

David, Emmy & James

Emmy really enjoyed playing with her cousins when we visited them last week. The older boys loved her and really made her feel like a queen! She's not used to having that many kids around and absolutely loved it! We have never heard her laugh so hard as she watched them play and chased after them. Her younger cousin (by 4 months) also loved Emmy, but not in the same way. He loves to pull hair and while she doesn't have much, he managed to find it! Poor Scott, he isn't trying to be mean, he just loves hair (anyone's). She got to the point that she was scared of him and would run as soon as she saw him coming. When we pulled up to their house from beint out she would tell herself she was "okay" and then say "Hair" as she reached for hers. She still does it when she sees his picture . . .

Thanksgiving with the Jensen's!

We spent Thanksgiving week with Shaun's family in Utah and Idaho. We had a great time. We even got to see the famous (well in Idaho) Preston Festival of lights. For you Napolean Dynamite fans, it's the town where that movie was filmed. Emmy loved the light parade and waived to everyone that went buy. She would point at the floats and say "Pretty"! It was very cold while we were there, something we are not used to! The people that we talked to were saying that they wished it would warm up so it could snow. Too cold to snow??? I didn't know that was possible. . .

Emmy the hair dresser!

Emmy loves to help Mommy get ready for the day. She likes when I blow dry my hair and wants to help me comb it. This time she couldn't reach me good enough, so she climbed up on my legs behind me to reach! It's a good thing that she doesn't weigh very much. . .

Emmy and Abby

It was a beautiful Sunday! Emmy is playing with Abby on the slide. Obviously Emmy is having fun! We are not so sure about Abby.

Carving Pumpkins

Every year Shaun and I carve pumpkins, this year we decided it was time to include Emmy. She loved cutting them, but wanted absolutely nothing to do with the messy insides! She had so much fun and loves to look at them. They turned out pretty good! I just wish she had enough teeth to try out the pumpkin seeds that I made. . . next year I guess!
