Emerson "isms"

Just thought I would share a few of the quotes from our little red that have cracked us up lately. She's very verbal and sometimes smarter than her mommy or daddy...oh no!

She calls the UPS truck the "chocolate milkman".

When she saw the front of the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue at the newsstand she asked.."my look boobies".

While driving home and she was insistent that I rub her leg, I explained the need for 2 hands on the steering wheel etc. She continued to ask, very politely, and I complimented her on how "nicely" she was asking me. From then on the request was still very polite but followed by "my ask nicely". How do you say no to that?? She even used it later with daddy when he was having a snack before dinner. He told her that we were eating soon and she said "but my ask nicely".

My favorite is when she initiates "I love you mommy" and gives you kisses and hugs without asking!

Sun, Sun and more Sun!!

Miss Independent Thea

We spent 2 awesome sunny days this week with friends enjoying what makes Seattle so great!

A gorgeous morning playing at Edmonds beach with Amanda & Thea followed the next day by a trip to the zoo with Tiffany & Jenna.

Happy Birthday Nana!

We had a yummy dinner at Palisades to celebrate Nana's birthday! It was a beautiful few days in Seattle and we got outside every chance we could.

Who likes blueberries??

Need I say more.....

Enlisting Maile to clean up the mess....

Slumber party

Visiting the Everett Children's Museum with Lilly

Emerson walked up this huge slide

Don't you wonder what this cow would say....

After Uncle Troy deployed to Iraq...Lilly and Auntie Rachel came for a slumber party.

Two very tired kiddos watching Curious George

Play dates with Lilly

We met at the Dizzy Bus Stop for playtime with Lilly, Troy and Rachel. Not sure who had more fun...the girls or the daddys?

Just the "girls" this time at Pump It Up (I stole these from Rachel, as mine were very blurry and then my battery died)

First haircut

Much to the dismay of our family, except Greg of course, Emerson just got her first haircut. She did a great job! Rode in the airplane and car, watched Elmo and played with toys. I don't envy this poor woman trying to make sure it's straight. I think that's why it did end up a bit shorter than planned. But now the poor girl can see and it is JUST hair...it'll grow back!
