Last Summer Hurrah~ Camping Trip

Last weekend on the 26th and 27th we went camping with some friends from our ward. It was really fun, butr I was a little cold. It was us the Goolds, and the Utts. We all have 2 year olds little girls and they're all really good friends. The weather was beautiful and we had a really good time!

Here is Kara. She was great with the fire!

Lindsey, Kely, and Kara

Emma and Caroline

Steven, Robert, and Rich

Just chattin' with the girlfriends!

We went camping in the Snowy Range and it was beautiful! This lake was right down from where we camped. 

Emma slept great and was the last one to wake up. Here she is snuggling with Daddy in the morning. 

Emma-isms!

Emma is such a funny girl lately. She says things and it just cracks me up! Some of my favorites are:

• Excuse'm (When she needs to see excuse me.)
• Mommo (Movie)
• Happy Day! (for Happy Birthday)
• I you aaaah. ( I love you)
• I want d'boo! (for anything she see's that's blue)
• What's that Mommy? (This happens about 100 times a day)
• She wants to do and have everything that is opposite of what you want her to do or have. If I say come this way, she says that way!
• She loves her friends and she loves to play!
• She has this really cute pouty face she will do whenever she is tired, wants attention, or is mad.
• When she is tired, watch out!
• She loves Dora and Princesses.
• Every day she finds a new toy to get attached too and it goes with us everywhere.
• Twinkle Twinkle Little Star is her favorite song and every night when she is going to bed she says. "I want Stars." She also loves "I Am a Child of of God." We sing both,  usually a few times.
• She still loves movies and usually has to watch one every day.
• She loves animals.  Horses seem to be her particular favorite lately.
• She is getting to be a pickier eater. It's getting harder and harder to make sure she eats good. If she doesn't eat good , she doesn't sleep good and then I hear early in the morning. "Mommy, I hungy,"
Overall she is a happy spunky little girl who loves to laugh, have fun and be around people!

Wilhelm Family Reunion

We were able to make it to about 2 hours of the reunion at Bear Lake this summer since we happened to be moving during the reunion and coundn't do it at any other time. Here are some pictures that Denise took. I'm so grateful she took such great pictures. I even got to play with her awesome camera a little bit and. It was so fun! Keep in mind we woke up at 4 in the morning after moving and cleaning all day yesterday unitl late in the night. Then we drove 4 hours. So, I really don't look my best here. It was good to see everyone though.

Engineering Float Trip

Last Saturday Robert's Engineering Dept. had a float trip down the Platte River. I wasn't going to take Emma because I didn't think she would last for 2 hours on a raft, but Robert's boss and Robert really wanted us to come. I decided to try it and Emma did great! We had a few moments where she was getting a little bored, but we had squirt guns, candy, and of course there was a lot to look at. Not everyone from his Dept. made it, but it was fun to get to know the people he works with. We rode in a raft with his boss and he is so nice and loved having Emma on the raft.

Settling In

So, we are settling in to our new house. We moved in about a week and a half ago, but because we are painting almost every room the settling in part is taking extra long. I sort of feel like this is the move that will never end. Luckily we have awesome friends here who have been helping out lots. Especially with Emma. I have tons more pictures and things to post about from this summer. It has just been so busy I haven't even had time to blog about the busyness. My friend Kristi is a photographer and while Emma was at her house playing she took this picture of her. I love her work and you will probably be seeing lots more of it on this blog.
