Kansas Trip, part 6: Golfing with Daddy

Last summer when we were in Kansas, we drove by the Fun Center (mini golf, arcade, bumper cars, etc.) every time we went to the Bency's. So Emma said when Daddy came back with us she wanted to go golfing with him. So we finally got to go. 

Emma was glad Daddy was there to protect her from the scary spider. 

And to tach her how to golf.

And to make sure her ball went in and the ostrich didn't get her.

We had fun playing all the games with Emma.

She wanted to do the motorcycle.

She needed some help.

We won't be letting Emma drive anytime too soon.


Basketball!

Kansas Trip, part 5: Papa Steve's Garden

Papa Steve has a very big garden this year. Emma has never seen anything like it. It was fun to show her where all our fruits and veggies come from. She even got to pick some corn!

We were all wearing our HOPE shirts!

Watching Papa Steve pick corn.

Learning how to schuck it.

Picking her own. She ate a whole cob, too.

I think they are hiding from me.

Kansas Trip part 4: Wedding 

I used my GPS on my phone to get to the venue and then we used my phone-fan to cool off, so my phone was dead pretty much the whole time. I would say that is the reason I got no pictures, but honestly I was so scatter brained that day I was good to get there. The day, for me, was a comedy of errors. My dress that I ordered ended up being the wrong color, our hair dresser was sick and our appointment went way over, making us late. I forgot to tell Steven when we were leaving, and he had only been in the states for 2 days and so was sleeping when we left. When I got to the venue (45 min away), I realized I forgot Emma's flower girl dress and our jewelry. So I called Steven, who was thankfully still there, and he brought it all when he came with his family. Anyway, Faith and Alan are married, although we wish we had the next weekend's weather that day, but we survived. 

Getting her hair done! In the pic below the stylist told her to look at her belly button.

Just  so we remember how hot it was. ;)

I can't wait to see the robe pictures from the photographer. Emma looks like she is ready to go to Japan now.

Showing Daddy the phone-fan.

Emma did a great job as flower girl!

So thankful Daddy got to see her this year. :)

Papa Steve walking Aunt Faith down the aisle.

It was pretty outside...green instead of dead CA brown.

Emma wanted to hold my flowers while I held Aunt Faith's.

And then she wanted to watch. (?!?!)

I was so thankful Steven was there, I was trying to figure out how to get her out of the middle of the wedding without making a scene when I saw him sneak up out of the corner of my eye. She went right to him. Daddy to the rescue!

She said he was telling her that she did a good job of being the flower girl.

She had fun getting all dressed up.

Unity cross above, kiss below.

The happy couple 

My parents

She was literally attached to him as much as possible when he was here. I was chopped liver, and happily so for a week.

Emma and Papa Mike

We managed a good picture of us during the chaos!

KansasTrip part 3:Family pictures

I finally downloaded a new blogging app since mine was unavailable, so hopefully I will be able to post more now. 

Andrew was unable to get off for the wedding, so we took some family photos the night of the rehearsal. Enjoy!

Also I'm  still figuring this app out...so it might feel a little disjointed, as in I can't figure out I how to caption my pictures and they are all backwards. Oh well. 

The picture above is from the wedding, Emma took it.


Pouty faces.

A family picture!


Papa Steve and his 3 son-in-laws...mean faces.


Happy faces.
