Summer Fun!

Well, it's almost that time of year where we are starting to put all the summer toys away.  Brad is bringing the boat in to get winterized this week.  BooHoo!!
We enjoyed our new boat so much this summer and had a blast spending time with family & friends.

Right after Emmy's birthday in July we got a special visitor!  My brother Bob moved back home from Dallas, TX.  He's living in Montevideo and is working for Coating Specialties.  He's been spending a lot of time on the road.  We are glad to have him back home and Emmy & Erin just love having Uncle Bob here!  We are definitely getting lots of laughs with Bob around. :)

Erin ~ Big Girl Panties

Erin has been doing so well with potty training lately.  Last Friday I decided to put her in just a pair of panties.  She went the whole day without any accidents.  She was so excited for her big accomplishment!  Mommy, daddy & Emmy were excited too!  We rewarded her with a trip to Nickelodeon Universe on Saturday - She LOVES rides!!
Last night we went to Target so that she could pick out her own pack of Big Girl Panties! She picked out a pack of Minnie Mouse panties.  She was so proud! 

I am so glad we are done with diapers/pull-ups!! (well maybe just for night time for a little while, just to be safe) WooHOOOOOOO!!!!

Primetime Emmy Awards

The 64th Primetime Emmy Awards were last Sunday and Miss Emmy was so excited that everyone was all dressed up in pretty gowns and getting "Her" awards!  She jumped up and down and told me that she wanted to go there! 
Miss Emmy, with all your humor & spunk, you might just be on that stage some day!

New Pictures

Here are some updated pictures of the girls from last weekend.  My friend Sam captured some really GREAT shots!  We went to the local train tracks and also Lagoon Park in Montevideo. 
Sam does photography as her hobby, but I keep saying she really should start up her own studio!
Emmy ~ age 4
Erin ~ age 2 1/2
Enjoy...

J-E-L-L-O

Emmy wants long princess hair.  So a couple of weeks ago Darlene told her she should eat Jello to make her hair & nails grow.  She's been eating Jello like crazy lately. 
Brad was reading "Tangled" to the girls before bed when Emmy tells Brad, "Daddy, Rapunzel must eat LOTS of Jello, she's got REALLY, REALLY long hair!"
