Swimming!

last weekend was UEA for my sister and my aunt/cousin. My Aunt Tracey and her son Aaron came down from Bountiful. They're moving to Denver, CO soon and we are all pretty bummed. Tracey has always been the funnest aunt! Meag and her family came down and all the kids went swimming at my moms! It was fun! I can not believe what a water baby Emma is! She LOVES it. didn't matter if someone was playing with her, or if she was alone, she was having a blast!! After we had some pizza and hung out and talked. Meag and I ran to Target, and it was so fun. I know sounds silly that Target was so fun. I love living close to Meag, we have so much fun! Not so sure our husbands love it! :) Emma loves Kinlee too, the next day they came over and had dinner at our house and Emma just thinks Kinlee is her own baby doll. We decided it was just payback from Macee thinking Emma was her baby and I'm sure I'll get payback from Kinlee! Phew, I feel like I'm just babbling. time to go :)

Marathon/fall break& a project!

My dad ran the Marathon this year again! It never gets old I love going to it and watching all the runners, especially with my dad running it! What an accomplishment! I say every year that one of these years I'm going to do it, I guess I gotta start running first :) He came in at 3:06, I think it was actually like 3:05:45. Emma loved clapping for all the runners! Good Job Grandpa! We are halfway done with the semester (yay!) and we had a little fall break on the 10th and 11th so we decided to go pine nut pickin! We went more for the experience than for the pine nuts and we had a lot of fun. We got quite a few considering we had a very busy helper with us. She loved it. She had a blast picking the pine nuts out of our bucket and throwing them on the ground, running free up and back on the trail, and sitting in the dirt! Yes this is how her hair looks most days, don't judge :) We have been going to the park lots lately. We are so lucky that we can just walk down the street and we have a great park right there! Emma loves it. That girl is fearless, she goes down all the slides all by her self and loves it! Oh yea how could I forget my latest project! I got the idea from Burlap and Denim http://burlapanddenim.com/2012/09/easy-tutorial-for-giant-chalk-art/ Pretty bold I know. Hers was for an industrial room and mine is for my entry way!! YIKES! I was pretty scared about it all the way through especially with Randan telling me it didn't look good. My mom helped me paint it with homemade chalkboard paint just a side note, if you want to paint a wall with homemade kind you have to use a brush a roller won't work! Then I got to work with the chalk. I'll trade the pumpkin out with the holidays! Randan and I built this cute shelf we saw on Shanty 2 Chic's website http://www.shanty-2-chic.com/2011/11/hook-shelf-for-the-entry.html. When I got it all done Randan said "I told you it would look good" he thinks he is so funny. :) (it was kind of hard to get a good picture of it, but you get the idea)

cute bum!

I had to post some pictures of this cute little stinker. She is so funny, she is my daily entertainment. I laugh at her all day long. she LOVES shoes. LOVES outside, she could spend hours playing with this dang hose! She found her belly button and likes to look at everyones, likes to walk and hold moms hand, loves to jump on the air mattress with dad, LOVES to climb up and sit on the kitchen chairs like a big girl, thinks all animals are "dog dogs" (even chickens) likes to play the piano, LOVES to dance, I need to post a video of her dancing, I roll laughing every time she does it and she does it every time she hears music or I tell her to dance. she bounces up and down and then stops and sticks her bum out and sways. I feel like I could post a paragraph every day about this girl she is constantly doing new things! So fun! Randan and I are doing good. we're staying busy with school. we're about half way with the semester!
