I took the girls to get some pictures which was dumb because Em was sick & Rylee had a total meltdown, so we weren't there very long but she got some sweet pictures of them!! We are going to try some family pictures soon, hopefully that goes better!!

Pumpkins!!

We started a family tradition with Emily of taking her to this farm by our old house and getting her a pumpkin & her picture taken in her Halloween costume. So it was fun to go back this year and do the same with Rylee! They wore marching Halloween outfits that say "daddy is under my spell" :) 

So Halloween is one of my favorite holidays!! I love fall & pumpkins & dressing up in costumes & trick-or-treating! I'm super excited because this year Emily actually gets it and has been super excited about it. She asks almost everyday if we can go to the pumpkin patch. We went to Walmart the other day and they had a huge pumpkin display that she played all over for a long time & she even sleeps with her "baby" pumpkin! We've been having fun with the holiday so far with special glow in the dark skeleton jammies, crafts, spooky meals, pumpkin patch visits, a corn maze trip, Halloween tattoos & lots of pumpkins!!! 

We went to a corn maze last week with my neice Faith, we stayed all afternoon and had so much fun!! 

Em's 1st time bowling!!

For family night out we made our own pizzas and went bowling with some friends. Emily LOVED bowling so much, we'll definitely be going back soon!!! It was cute, she'd stand at the return and wait for her ball. Each time it would surprise her. And she'd pick it up and didn't want any help. She a hoot! :) 

Warhawk

It's no secret that Emily is obsessed with airplanes & recently helicopters too and one thing on her summer bucket list that we didn't get to do was to visit the Warhawk Air Museum so we finally went. Her and Eric had so much fun, if it wasn't for my tired & hungry bum they could of stayed all day :) 

Emmy 2 1/2 Years Old!

What a adventure we've been on over the past 2 1/2 years!!!!!! We had no idea just how much this little bundle of joy would changed our lives and how much happiness she would bring into our hearts! It's been fun to see all the changes in her physically and in her personality, so much happens in just 2 1/2 short years!!!!! She's a wild child, a daddy's girl, a lover of all animals, a crazy dancer, fearless, a absolute princess on the outside but a total tomboy at heart, tough, loving, loves books, talks like crazy, smart, tiny everywhere but has big feet, eats like a champ (finally!), just about 100% potty trained (takes forever!), has super curly hair, silly, loves life - wakes up with a village of energy, creative, naughty (!!!), loves school, the sweetest and best big sister, and the best gift we ever received, she's our world!!!!

Rylee 2 months old

10.8 pounds (26%)

15 inch head (42%)

That went by in a blink but it feels like she's older then just two months, it feels like she's always been here! She such a sweet child and so different from Emily. She's a mellow, sleepy, cuddly, sensitive baby. She's been in a newborn state for the last couple weeks and just eats & sleeps and really isn't awake much. She is sleeping through the night almost every night!!!!!! She started baby talking more and smiling a lot! She has been wearing 3 month clothes for a couple weeks now. I'm not used to having a big baby! She has the biggest cheeks!!!!! She's starting to warm up to Emily but often will still cry when she touches her or talks to her ... it's just not automatic like before it takes a few minutes to set in and then she cries. She's been experiencing a little bit of colic but not nearly as bad as Emily was. She LOVES to be held and loves to always have her head tilted to the right when she sleeps. She sits up when supported. she LOVES to sit in her Bumbo chair! She's just a joy and perfect fit to our family!! We are so in love!
