We have been super duper busy! I love summer, but it's so crammed full of fun things and it's too short - that's for sure! Thought I'd fill everyone in on what Miss Em has been up to this month.
|
Emily at Noah's 5th birthday party - she had never bowled before - she had a blast with all the "big" kids!!! |
In mid-July we had some of our really good friends over on a Sunday afternoon. We don't get together as often as we used to - but we always have fun catching up.
|
Here is Em with Lily - she is Nan & Ryan's oldest daughter |
|
Here is Em with Nora - she is Nan and Ryan's youngest daughter. |
We also got to see Cayl (Nick & Tiff's little man who just turned 1) and Anika (Matt & Brenda's daughter who is almost 3. I didn't get good pics of them - sorry!! I was too busy chasing Em around :)
|
Thanks to Ryan & Nan - Emily had her first ever soda...it was a root beer and she was in love!!!!
Check out her outfit....ugh. LOL! |
I have no idea what this picture was from, but it was taken in late July/early August and I just love it. It totally shows Miss Em's personality. She's sweet but sassy :)
|
Nothing wrong with a courderoy skirt in the middle of summer, right??? |
Our favorite babysitter is Claire. She is going to be a senior here in Sun Prairie this fall. We just love her and so does Emily. We got home one night and this was Claire's piece of artwork on the driveway. I love it!!!!
This summer we had a VERY special event occur in the Marion household....Daddy let Emily go for a semi ride!!! You would not believe smile on both of their faces. I have never seen either so happy. I got to follow in the car - but I can imagine Em was smiling the entire ride to the terminal (all of about 8 minutes).
|
Here's Em's first semi ride!!! July 2011. She had her carseat strapped in right next to daddy. |
In July we went to the Dane County Fair with the Vosberg's. It's our 2nd annual trip with them. We always have a great time. It's even more fun now that Em and Zander can run around and play together.
|
Here are Em and Z on the Convoy ride at the fair. They LOVED the rides!!!! Luckily they are about the same height so they can pretty much go on all the same rides together. |
The first weekend in August, I took Emily to Sassy Cow Creamery's Farm Carnival. Sassy Cow is a local dairy that has the BEST ice cream!!! So I thought I'd take her there for an hour or two to play around.
|
Here she is all ready to bounce!!!! |
|
Getting her face painted, of course. She HAS to get it done anytime she sees someone doing it. |
|
We went with my friend Sara and her daughter Kendall and son Griffin. Here is Em and Kendall eating their hotdogs. |
|
Playing a throw the ball in the fishbowl game. Thankfully neither of them won a fish!!! |
In early August - 2 of Kalli's boys (Kory's oldest sister) came to visit from Portland. We spent a lot of time at Kory's mom's to see AJ and Tyler. For some reason I have like ZERO pics of the them :( I hope Bonnie has some!!! I have been terrible with my camera lately. I need to get back into snapping photos!!
|
Here is Em and Z watching a movie at G's (Grandma Bonnie) house |
|
Emme and Aunt Kacey making silly faces |
|
Em wearing a suit she found at G's house...all ready to go hot tubbing!! She LOVED it! |
|
My little fishy |
The last couple months have been rough around our house in the fact that Em has had these terrible stomach aches. They really take a toll on her and keep her in a lot of pain. She seems to not want to poop regularly. So she will hold it up to 7 or 8 days inbetween going. Not good. So I took her to the Dr just over a week ago and we talked about it. He agreed that a reward system would be a good idea. So I'm happy to report that in the last 8 days - Emme has pooped FIVE...count it...FIVE times.
|
She is VERY proud of her poop reward :) |
I have WAY more things to blog about, but I'm beat. I will try to do another blog this weekend as we are heading to the Sun Prairie Sweet Corn Festival...Yum...one of my favorite things to do!!
Hope everyone is enjoying summer. I know it's going fast for us!
XOXO
