Play date with Owen

It was so nice out this morning, so we went to the park with Owen. They had a blast...Owen is a daredevil while Emma is finally going down the big slides!

Oh and here is her new bookshelf that I apparently forgot to post.

New tutu

This tutu is really not new. Jennifer made it for Emma...I think she had started it at her baby shower and then gave it to her at Emma's second 1st birthday party that she threw her. Last time I tried to put it on her for her very first dance class, she was scared to death of it. But this time she loved it!

Sliding fun.

The Emma loves her slide. She is always coming up with new tricks...and thankfully has only actually crashed once.  She just loves to have an audience so these are from our Saturday morning Skype with Grandma Joy.

Dancing, hiding and sliding

Emma wore her new dance dress to dance class yesterday, she was super cute as always. :) and last night I told her she could not play with her bath toys since it was time for bed, so she crawled in the cabinet with them. The sliding pictures are from this morning. We didn't have a lot to do today, so we just played for a couple hours before going to the gym. :)

All ready for dance class!

Also notice in the picture below,a Emma is back next to the teacher, holding her hand by her side, as if she can't participate bc she has a bandaid.

Hips!

She had a big class today! 10 girls!

Accessorizing

Someone is hiding

There she is!

I'm gonna crash!

Crashing into kitty is fun.

Pretty girl

 Yesterday was busy: The housing maintenance guys came over to work on our tub...more on that later. Then Emma and I went  to PWOC, then she came home and napped. Half way through her nap I realized I had made an appointment to get the car registered, and we needed to get the Smog Test done before. So I woke her up and we headed to Yuba City. We got it done (although we will have to go back bc the van failed the smog test...which means we have to get that fixed before we get it retested, otherwise we don't get a license plate.) Anyway, I also had Bible study at 6, so for dinner we just went to the Pub....even though we had just been to Red Robin the night before due to the fact that I cannot cook rice to save my life and the Commissary was closed. But anyway...Emma was cold last night at the Pub, so I loaned her my scarf...which we then kept trading back and forth. It wasn't really that cold, she just liked playing with it.
Oh... And she picked out her own bow this morning.

Snuggling with Daddy to keep warm

Reading to herself.

Off for a run...it was a chilly 45 degrees.

Silly girl

Happy Wednesday!

Mommy went shopping

Today was a day I have been looking forward to...going to Maurice's. I went with a new friend from the Moms and Mentors group, and we had a blast. We went to Maurice's...she had never been and was quite pleased...I felt at home. It was wonderful to shop and try on clothes, just look around at everything and not be rushed or distracted. Then we went to Ross and Target...browsing is such a luxury to moms of toddlers. We ended at Panera for lunch....I even had a salad, which is a miracle. But it was so fun to get out. When I got home Emma inspected my bags to see what I brought her...however, all I bought for her was some floss picks. (She really does use them.) But she liked my scarf and tried it on. She has wanted to wear one ever since we put one on our play dough snowman. Here are some pictures from the last few days, and Emma trying on my scarf.

Sunday school

They learned about Elijah being taken up to heaven in a chariot of fire.

Making banana muffins this morning

She was totally serious about this bowl on her head.

Trying on my scarf

I couldn't get her to look at me.

She liked it.

Penguin Chef

Yesterday we got some more presents in the mail from Aunt Emily. We waited until this morning when Daddy got home to open them. Emma loves putting the Penguins together, taking them apart, lining them up and putting them back together... and putting them on our fingers. She also loves to dress up in her apron, hat and oven mitts. I told her that later we will do some cooking together. Sorry for all the pictures, but there were so many good ones. Oh and I'm pretty sure she thinks the tiny penguin is an accessory for her finger.

Putting all the penguins on Daddy's fingers and toes.

All done!

Beautiful chef!

Nice outside

We I'm sorry for those of you who have been freezing, but it has been fairly nice here lately. We have all been enjoying being able to get outside. We have been going for walks, to the park and we hung a bird feeder thing outside. Emma was frustrated that the birds didn't come eat right away.

Playing on the counter

I went to look for them....this is what I found.

Out for a walk

Sorry, Emma. Sliding on your belly doesn't work well outside.

Getting the bird feeder/bell ready.

"Here you go birds! I have some food for you!"

Hang it there Daddy.

Pretty sure Pepper thought it was for her.

Then Emma wanted to play with it.

Then she was bummed when we hung it up high, mostly so we could see from inside.

Birds! Come on birds!

Chillin in Daddy's gym.

Daddy hung up all his flags.

And his Arnold poster.
