Thanksgiving!

We had such a good time over Thanksgiving. We went to Enterprise and were able to spend it with both mine and Randans family! Thursday morning Randan went Coyote hunting with the boys, it used to be a tradition in his family so they decided to go! When they got back we went to Newcastle and said hello to all the Woods family. It was great to see everyone. Then we had Thanksgiving dinner with my family. My Grandparents, Aunt and Uncle, and Sister and they're family was there. It was so nice. That night Meag and I drove to St.G and went black friday shoppin. we went to wal-mart and target, went to the St.G house slept a few hours, woke up and went again in the morning and met up with the boys and kiddos. It was a lot of fun and we got some good deals! I hate bein so far from Meag, we always have such a good time together! We were pretty wore out though. Saturday we had Grandma Farnsworth Funeral. She was such an amazing woman and I'm so glad that I had the chance to know her a little bit. It was a great service. After we had a stake dinner with Randans immediate family. Its always such a fun time when we're all together. We played games with my family and that was the end of a good weekend :) Sunday we woke up and drove home! We're glad to be home but can't wait till the next time! There's really no place like home, no matter where it is :)
I have SOO... much to be thankful for. I say that every year but this year is different. Its been quite the year and Im so thankful for all I have. Randan, Emma, our family, friends, church/the gospel, freedom/our country, I could go on and on, but I won't. :) Hope everyones Thanksgiving was as good as mine, I'm sure it was! Love you all!
(I didn't get many pictures with my family, Macee was so cute with her. "hers love me" she'd say. I sure miss that little toad! wish I could take her home with me!
Emma was a bit overwhelmed, she's used to it just being her and mom!
I love that Shelby and Emma are so close in age it was fun to watch them play. Emma had a hard time warming up to everyone but for some reason she loved Maycee L., she was such a good helper during the funeral, kept Emma quiet :) I've said this before but I wished we lived closer so Emma could have all these fun cousins to play with all the time

Tim McGraw Concert

Tim McGraw put on a free concert for the troops on Camp Pendleton. A limited purple heart recipients got access to the VIP and I emailed the lady early enough to get them! It was so cool I left Randan and Emma to get a picture and was 3 rows back from the stage! We had such a good time! Luckily it wasn't too cold and Emma did awesome! we got there at 2:00 and there were some other bands playing, cowboy Troy, Silverados, and a few others, we left and let Emmi take a nap then came back in time to watch Tim McGraw!

3 years!

Randan and I have been married 3 years on the 8th! That day Emma decided to stand up like a big girl and fall on the corner of the TV stand and cut herself. Scared me half to death. gave her a pretty good little cut by her eye, mom just super glued it since she had a doc appointment that day. Everything went great at her appointment. she is 27 3/4 long -97% 17.6lbs- 80%. So Randan and I decided we'd just do something the next day. So the 9th we went to Torry Pines Preserve In San Diego-La Jolla. There's lots of pine trees and hikes and down below is a beautiful beach! So we went on some hikes had a picnic and played a bit on the beach. Emma LOVED it. she is a total outside girl!! We had a blast! I can't believe its been 3 years. We've grown and learned so much together and im so glad I have Randan to do it with! Love you babe!

another month :)

Emma is 6 months today! I can't believe it. it is going by sooo.... fast. This month Emma has learned so many fun things

*she is sitting up by herself
*she's crawling
*she's just had her first taste of cereal. First time I gave it to her she loved it! Ate it all and opened her mouth for more. Although a lot of it ended up on her. The next few times she wasn't such a fan. we'll see how it goes :)
*she's pulling herself up to things
this makes nap time much much harder. I lay her in her crib and immediately she grabs onto the railing, pulls herself up and looks out the door waiting for me to walk by so I can see what a big girl she is. if I make eye contact with her she just starts smiling and gets so excited. :) little turkey.
*she likes being in the car again. yay... I don't dread going places anymore
*she loves going on walks and being outside
*of all her toys her favorite is... the computer cord. :( ha ha, or the tag on one of her toys. ha
*not a fan of naps. most days its a struggle to get her to take them
*wakes up about once in the night
*still loves her hands. they're almost always in her mouth
*still won't take a pacifier
*she is so smily and happy. she gabbers like crazy and laughs all the time, it doesn't take much to get her to laugh. i love that little girl more and more each day. we defiantly have our hands full and I wouldn't trade it for the world. I'm so blessed to be her mom. love you em!
