The Reunion was a great time! It was great seeing everyone and we look

forward to our next big celebration in 2012!

Grandpa Thul would have been 100 in 2012.

Hopefully we can have as many family members show up as we can!

Save the date for June 2012.

More information will be out later!

Eating cereal!

Sitting in your high chair while mom gets your bottles ready for the sitter!

All smiles!!

Wondering why you are not getting one of those bottles!

2nd day you eating cereal!

Kind of mad that I stopped so I could take a picture!!

Really mom?? Another picture?!

Emma is 5 Months Old!

Emma is 5 months old already! Where does the time go?

You weighed 17.50 lbs at 4 months so guess you at least 18 lbs or more

*Wear size 3 diapers

*You wear size 6-9 months clothes right now but its getting small! You will soon be out of them and wearing size 12...!!

*You sleep 7 hours before you need to get up and eat! Your bedtime is 9:30 PM and you have been waking up around 4:30 and go back to sleep for a few more hours.

*You are a happy baby!

*You like people to smile at you and make you giggle!

Grandma Thul and Aunt Luan do a great job at this!

*You like when people talk to you and you try to talk back. I think you will be a talker like your dad and Grandma Thul!!

*When you are tired you like when we sing "Twinkle Little Star" or "Over the Rainbow".

You can fall asleep by yourself but like to have a blanket and your pacifer in.

*You love to go on walks with mom, dad and Gus! You can sit facing out in the stroller now and you really like that. We are glad you love being outside!

*You really love your Jumperoo! You could spend countless hours in it jumping!! You can hold your self up in it and love playing with the toys in front of it! You love watching Sports Center with dad or any Baseball game that is on especially the Twins and the Cubs!

*You will go on your first camping adventure this weekend for the Thul Reunion in Fort Dodge. Hopefully you do good!

*You just started eating cereal and love it!! You act like I don't feed you fast enough. The first time you really enjoyed the cereal you just giggled and laughed.

*You have rolled over for us a few times. You love being on your stomach and you try to crawl but get upset when you don't go any where!

*You get excited and smile when you see your sitters Alicia and Joni. Which makes mom and dad feel good when we leave you with them!

*You like to sit up but still need help.

*We are excited about the new adventures and changes that lie ahead but wish we could keep you a baby forever too!

Emma playing, rolling, & changing everyday!

Eating cereal, not a huge fan of it yet!
Rolling over

Trying to crawl

Emma does a good job of wiggling herself around and off

the blanket when she wants too!

Getting ready to roll over again!

Now its time to relax and just kick! Emma's favorite thing to do!

And talking away!

Bath time! She was all smiles...I can never get the camera ready fast enough!

Again Emma was all smiles and kicking away, then I get the camera out and this is the face I get!

She is Vahn's daughter!

I had Emma in her crib so I could get ready for a 75th B-day party on Friday July 17th.

I go in the room and she is laughing and talking, so I crab my camera...not quick enough!

This time I got her smiling! She smiles all the time. I am just bad at taking pictures!

Emma not to happy to be in the car seat. We are only heading across town to the party.

This is the bib that my friend Darci got Emma. We call Darci Aunt Darci...she spoils Emma!

She also got Emma a tag blanket, which Emma loves and three outifts from the GAP along with a pair of sandals! She is too good to Emma!

Everyone at the party loved the bib! I thought this way family that haven't seen Emma would see the bib and know what her name is.

Cousins from Arizona visiting

I am ready to go swimming!

Emma is getting excited! Talking away!!

Still waiting for dad to get it all ready!

Gus and Emma chilling before getting in the pool! If you can see Gus has a stick in front of him. He wants to play and Emma just stared at him. It was pretty cute!

Emma laying out doing some cooing under the trees. She loves being outside!

Emma is not sure what to think.

Emma started to smile while she was kicking in the water.

Emma loved the butterflies. She kept trying to put them in her mouth!!

Vahn didn't get the palm tree blown up very well. He didn't want to fix it either, hopefully this weekend it will be nice and we will be out in the pool again.

Emma playing away! Has two butterflies one in each hand.

Emma started to get cold. All done swimming!

We took a bath after we were done. Emma is wearing the onnies that Grandma Thul got for her..fits us well! Its says, Mommy and I love to shop!

Emma playing in her jumperoo. By the way she loves it!! She gets all excited every time we put her in it! She jumps real well in it too and now she plays with the toys that are attached in front.

Emma smiling at Vahn

Vahn put up the two pictures of Emma last night for me.

We kind of joked that our living room will soon be all pictures of her!

Vahn talking to Emma before he goes to work!

Emma is 4 months old!

Emma got her 4 month shots yesterday July 6th. Since we were on vacation when she turned 4 months we had to push back her shots. Emma had fell asleep before they came in to give her the shots so she was already out of it when they poked her. Emma just screamed a bit, but a lot better then last time! Grandma Thul picked her right up and she was back asleep. Emma weighs 17.50 lbs, which is no suprise to anyone that has held her lately!! Vahn and I say everyday how blessed we are to have such a healthy and beautiful baby that is so happy! I am bummed that I didn't take any pictures this time! She had a cute dress on that Tracy gave her.

Have a Happy Tuesday!!

4th of July

4th of July

The 4th of July started for Vahn, Emma and I on Thursday when I got off of work. We both had Friday off so we headed to Early, Iowa on Thursday to stay with Vahn's cousin Nick and his wife Amy and their daughter Sophia. The cousins all went golfing on Friday afternoon. Amy and I were partners and we didn't do too bad, for not golfing too much! Amy brought some little water guns out to the course which was fun for Sophia! Click on Emma's foot and you can check out more pictures of our weekend. I painted Emma's toenails for the 4th...they look so cute!
