Our Little Bug

Our church, Sherwood, hosts Candy Fest on October 31st every year. They have pony or horse rides, petting zoo, jumpy houses, different booths for all ages, rock walls, food, and much more. And it is all free!! Scott was there filming all the activities, so OJan, Sandra, Krista, and I took Emma. She was dressed up as a lady bug.

She rode one of the ponies. The one behind her kept making loud breathing noises so she kept looking back at it. 

Scott found us while she was riding the pony. He was able to take a few pics of Emma and get some video of her as well.

   Then we rode a hayride that took us to the other side of the park. 

Then her and I played two games. She won some candy, but since she can't eat it.....mommy and friends got to enjoy it! :) Thanks Emma!!!

A group shot of Krista, Sandra, Emma, and I. We also ran into some good friends of ours, Anthony and Joyce Ann.

Scott found us again and took Emma to the little petting zoo they had. 

We left and went to grab something to eat. We came home and she crashed. Being a ladybug is hard work!!

Going to Susie and Papi's House

We went to stay with Scott's family on Friday night. He was going to help his brother with a senior assignment he has to complete. Mr. Joe (Papi) cooked steak for us on Friday night. We also had baked potato and salad and it was so good!! Then the family watched a movie.....I was a party pooper and went to bed early with Emma.

Emma decided she wanted to talk to mommy and daddy around 3:00 a.m. this morning. She never wakes up during the night so that was different. She then woke up at 7:00 to eat and did not go back to sleep. So around 10:00 a.m. she was not a happy girl. Susan (Susie) took her outside and she calmed down and then she finally gave in and went to sleep while Susan was holding her.

Scott and his sister Ashleigh wore the same shirt today. Ashleigh put hers on not knowing it was the same shirt Scott brought to wear so we had to take a picture of them in it.

Joe, Peyton, and Scott went to film some more of the video and spend time together, so Susan, Ashleigh, Grandma Mary,  Emma, and I had a girls day. We went to their shop so I could see all the new stuff they had gotten in. Susan gave me a snowman ornament and Emma a "First Christmas" ornament that we will hang on our tree this year. We then went to eat lunch at Three Crazy Bakers.

It was so good!! I had never eaten there. I got a tomato, bacon, spinach, and cheese quiche and some potato soup. As soon as it cam out Emma wanted some so she helped me eat mine and ate some of Susan's soup too.

We went back to their house to chill out for a little bit. Emma was pretty content in Papi's lap. 

I was trying to get a picture of Grandma Mary and Emma. Peyton was walking by so I had him get into the picture with them. This is how it turned out and then my camera died so I am keeping it anyways. Three different people doing three different things!!! This picture describes The Childs family so well!! :)

 We all then went to finish filming Peyton's video before heading home. It was a great little trip away from Albany.

Just A Swingin'

Today is Thankful Thursday and I am thankful for my brother, Brandon. He built this swing holder for Emma. To say she loves this swing and swinging in it would be a big understatement.

We have been wanting to get her a swing for awhile. We didn't have anywhere in backyard to attach it and thought we would have to attach it on the front porch. I wouldn't dare leave it there while we weren't using it. I am OCD about keeping my house neat and I would not want that bright pink swing looking like a sore thumb on the front of my house. And we are hardly ever in the front. I love how she is holding on the ropes like she is on a fair ride or something.

We took her to a birthday party a few Saturday's ago and it was the first time she had been in a swing like this and she LOVED it. Scott and I knew then we would have to buy her one. I believe my brother was the one who came up with the idea to build the holder. I am so glad he did!! She looks scared in the picture below, but I promise the only time she cries on this swing is if we stop it. I love the way her hair is flying up.

This is the look we get most of the time while she is swinging. She loves being outside and now swinging so put the two together and she is the happiest girl.

We have been picking her up from daycare the past few days and going straight out to swing her. It is a nice break from being inside at daycare.

She is such an easy going baby. I LOVE her little tooth you can see. She has another one coming in right next to it.

Thanks Uncle Brandon for making my swing holder. I love it so so much!!

Love,

Emma

Warm & Cozy In Her Robe

She has figured out how to open the drawers.

We Have A......

CRAWLER!!!

I Do Not Love This Pink....

I love just about everything pink! I do not like pink eye though. I took Emma to see Dr. W today and she does in fact have pink eye. He gave us some drops to put in her eye. I just knew she was going to freak when we tried to put them in her eye, but she has gotten to where she will deal with it the best she can. She better get use to it.....we have to do it for 9 more days!! She has to be out of daycare tomorrow to make sure she is no longer contagious.

We went to mom's today to eat some chili. Scott and Emma went to rest in the living room. Scott was watching the Falcons play, and Emma was just as into the TV as he was. She was all laid back. Scott may not have a son yet, but he does have a daughter who loves to watch baseball and football!!!

Super Saturday!!

Today has been such a great day. Scott went to take pictures of soccer this morning. Emma and I slept in until 10 o'clock this morning. My dad then came over to visit with us for a little while. Mom and Jeff came to check on the swing set that Uncle Brandon built. It should be ready this week once the swing comes in.

Then Scott, Emma, and I went to Uncle Brandon and Aunt Krista's house for the afternoon. Emma loved watching Aunt Krista make a pumpkin pie, which I can't wait to eat tomorrow.

Then Emma had fun riding on the four wheeler with Scott in their backyard.

We came home and crashed for a 2 hour nap. It felt so good. I woke up shocked that it had been 2 hours since we lied down. Emma's eye was very crusty this morning and looks to be getting pink, so I am taking her to the doctor in the morning to see if she has pink eye. I gave her a menthol bath to help clear out some stuffiness she has going on.

We are cooking supper and going to watch a movie later on. It has been such a super Saturday!!!
