Carobon County Rodeo

This was at the beginning of August. I 'm a little behind, but had to post these cute pictures! Emma loves going to the rodeo and seeing all of the animals and the horses. It is something to do and we are always looking for that here in Rawlins. It is fun to see friends, and be out in the community. I also love to see Emma's face and how excited she gets.

 

 

It's a . . .

BOY!!!

 

 

Last Thursday we went to Laramie for an ultrasound and it's a boy! The ultrasound showed that everything is looking good. This little guy was all folded up and not wanting to show her anything for awhile. He finally flipped around and she could really look at things. I'm so excited and grateful that the baby is healthy. It didn't really matter to me which gender it was I was just so excited to know. It's so fun thinking of him as a boy and starting to plan for everything! We are thinking of naming him Jacob David. That could change, but for right now that is the plan. We are sooooo ready for him to join our family. Emma said she was going to talk to Santa and see if he could hurry. So cute! Now my plan is to get his room ready. I have a feeling December will come pretty quick!

 

 



Emma's 4 year old pictures!

 Here are Emma's 4 year old pictures ( a little late). We took them in April, but it took a little while to get them back. Emma is quite the little girl! She has such a zest for life. She loves anything we go and do. She gets so excited for everything. She is also in a huge hurry to get big and grow up. Everyday she asks me if she is getting taller. She loves all things girly. She loves anything sparkly.   She picks out her own outfits and is very opinionated about it. Her favorite things to do are watch movies, ride her bike, play with friends, draw, paint, play with Daddy, and play with her stuffed animals and dolls. She loves her Cheetah and other animals. There really is never a dull moment with our Emma. She loves to be silly! She is also very affectionate and loving. She says and does the most hilarious things.

Dance Class

Emma Bug had her first dance class yesterday! She was in a dance a year or so ago and then we took a break. She loved every minute of yesterday and had a huge smile on her face. The class is Tap and Ballet. I'm excited for her to learn, grow, and have new experiences. 

Super Saturday

We had a great Saturday this weekend. It was filled with lots of fun busy activities! First, the Carbon County Fair has started here so we went downtown to watch the parade. Emma loved it and had an exciting time running for the candy. She really liked watching the horses go by.

 

 

Next on the agenda was the annual Sinclair Company Picnic! This is always a fun time. There are lots of things for kids to play on. Emma had a blast!  I love seeing her face on these slides so I took a ton of pictures.

 

First, a glitter unicorn tattoo!

 

 

Dino!

 

Bouncy house!

 

She races through this obstacle course with another kid. Who knew she had a little competitive streak in her. She went so fast!

 

This one scared her. It was pretty steep. She was mad at the end and did not want to do that one again.

 

 

After the picnic we planned to head to Casper to do some shopping. We hit the mall and a few stores and the we went to eat at Sanfords. Kids eat free!

They had this huge Bugs Bunny outside and Emma thought it was so funny. She was just cracking up. She couldn't believe he was wearing a tuxedo. So we had to taker her picture.

 

 

 

 

 

Summer Fun!

Here are some things we've been doing throughout the summer. We still have a couple more things planned before school starts, but here are some random pictures from the last couple of months.

 

 

Popsicles, Emma has been loving popsicles all summer!

 

Such a cute sleeper!

 

Playing at the library

 

Summer movie series!

 

This girl has such a hard life :)

 

She made a little picnic area for her animals and did her "work" on her little computer. Of course, she was also a princess. Her princess outfit is a daily occurrence.

Swimming Lessons!

 

Miss Riki! Emma misses her preschool teacher so much! She recently moved and will be impossible to replace!

 

Another movie from the summer movie series!

 

 

I forget that is isn't a usual occurrence for other people. Very often we will go outside and there will be one or two deer sitting in our lawn. They really don't seem to care if we walk outside. It is very common to see them all over town.

 

More swimming lessons! We actually did a total of 4 weeks. Emma loved it! She is getting there with her swimming. Her favorite is to lay on the noodle and swim around.

 

 

Ouch! One night about a week ago Emma was jumping around the family room, fell and landed on the edge of a table. She sliced her head open, but luckily it wasn't too deep. We went to the doctor the next day and they "glued" it together. It's actually healing quite nicely. Poor thing!
