the pumpkin hat

emery and i had a date @ the pumpkin patch. just me and her :) you know i love a good photo opp. and she ALWAYS cooperates for me...always so damn happy!!!

i am having issues w/ my camera so a ton of the PERFECT ones didn't turn out (nothing to do w/ my tiny model)...

i love her sweet little frown in this one. i guess she didn't like the look of the stranger that was trying to talk to her :) smart girl.

i stuck a bow in her hair for a few pics. the jury is still out on this look. i just don't think it looks right w/ out a good amount of hair. and i refuse to put those stretchy headbands w/ the bow attached on her. i just can't get on board with those...

was it cold this day? no. did emery wear a pumpkin hat regardless? you better believe it!

ellis in the pumpkin hat...

beckett...

emery again...

all btwn 6-7 months old. all in the same hat. you know i love that stuff :)

mexico

we took the little saying on the card they left on the bed to the extreme!!! we did NOTHING! we were super impressed with the place we stayed...a-ma-zing...
our little casita w/ private pool...

the view from lunch everyday...

the biggest decisions we made while there..."pool or beach?"..."facial or massage?"..."margarita or mojito?" oh..."and should we lay out on this or that?"

brandon chose this...

we did actually go to a tequila tasting (which meant taking a shot of 3 different tequilas)...the next night was a mojito tasting...brandon drank those while i drank what i consider to be the BEST margarita i have ever had. yum!!!! i had lots :)

that's about it...i only took like 10 pictures!! a HUUUUUGE thanks to everyone who made this trip possible by looking after my 3 perfectly wonderful children :)

bueno

we got the texas game to work here in mexico :) made for a happy brandon...especially since we beat some cornhusker ass. he rigged it up on our big tv via his computer (which we could see from the patio) and we also had it on my laptop...so i could watch it from our pool. bueno :)

drool face

i could kiss this face all day long...drool and all :) her hair is starting to grow a little...kinda looks like sonic the hedgehog. will it be straight? curly? blonde? brown? only time will tell!!!

10 years

we are off to mexico to celebrate 10 years of marriage! i plan on doing a whole lot of nothing while there. i might get off the chaise lounge just in time for dinner...can't wait!! sorry for the random pictures of the place we are staying...weird sizes??

sleepy head

and she can thank ellis for those little stuffed animals she is surrounded by...

emery is becoming one of them...eek!

she now "plays" in the backyard w/ ellis and beckett...loves watching them on the swing set...and they love showing off for their baby sister :)

down the slide in panties...one of the many bonuses to a backyard swing set :)

and she now can fully enjoy the playroom...enough w/ that laying on her back lameness...now she can really have fun!

working hard on the laptop...

looks like the computer crashed or something!!

then i introduced her to the penguin. she is not a fan.

and when daddy decides to go hunting after work (last minute!!)...all 3 of them are bathed together. this was a first and actually worked out pretty great. yay!
