Busy...Yet Fun Weekend

Vahn doesn't look to excited but he did have a good time

getting pumpkins with his friends and family!

All three guys sat in the way back, kids in the middle, watching Barney,

yes I said Barney. Vahn was real tired of that movie by the end of the trip!

Allison and I were in the front...we had a nice time and lots of room:)

Getting to the field of pumpkins! The rain hadn't started yet, but it

was coming!
There were acres of pumpkins, so many to choose from!

Emma and I taking a little break. We were full of mud and the

pumpkins were too heavy for me to carry!

Emma is all smiles, she thought it was pretty neat.

Hopefully next year the weather is much nicer

so we can enjoy it a little better!

After a busy morning, and naps were took we headed to

The Rosenmeyer's to watch the Hawkeyes at AZ.

The kids had a great time playing together while Allison and

I did some scrapbooking before the game.
Emma stayed up till 11:30 that night...way too late!

Touch DOWN! Thank goodness, its about time Hawkeyes!

Celebrating Daddy's birthday. Mom made a cake for him and grandma Thul.

Grandpa and Grandma came over to watch the Vikings and to help
Vahn finish the Gutters. They are just about done!

Emma decided she should dress her self for day care.

Everything was fine, but the hat and rain coat were

not needed. Monday's high was in the upper 70s!

Oh well it was cute!

Happy Birthday daddy!

Emma is excited about the muffins and that its

daddy's birthday!

HappyBirthday Daddy!

Emma was up early on a day Vahn gets to take her to daycare so

I figured I would make him so muffins for breakfast

since we would be able to be together that night.

Emma is all ready for Vahn to open up his gifts. I couldn't show pictures

of Vahn since he wasn't fully awake or dressed, he told me NO pics of him from

that morning better be put on here.

Emma has been goin potty in her chair now for awhile.

She does pretty well, we just need to get it done a little

better! How great if she could be potty trained before the

baby comes!

What a big girl!

Emma will kill me some day for putting this
picture up! I just thought it was funny since
she had to take her cup with her.

Emma went to a back up Day Care on Sept. 15th. She had a good

time playing with her friends Wayatt, Weston, Brody and Bree. She even

meant a few new ones. Emma was up early that morning so i got her

all dress up. I couldn't believe how big she looked. Our little girl is

growing up so fast!

Emma's doing a little praying and playing before the Bears first game!

Emma loves going into our bedroom and grabbing Vahn's rosary and watch

that are in his night stand. She loves wearing bracelets while she plays, I guess the

rosary will do too.

The Bears played Detroit in Week 1, they won,

but I wouldn't say it was pretty the entire game.

Daddy was working so we had to cheer them on

for him!

Since Vahn had to work we were unable to work at the

Wesley, Church Supper. I had to take two homemade pies, 4 jars filled with goodies

up to the community center the morning of the event. When I was little, my mom,

aunt Carla and I would help my Grandma Thul make pies. I decided to follow her

recipes this year, wow what a job making the homemade crust, and making everything from

scratch. They looked and smelled good, hopefully they tasted good too!

Catching Butterflies

We had a nice fall day so we thought we would enjoy it outdoors!

While Vahn was grilling Emma and I were picking up sticks and noticed the

trees were filled with butterfiles! We went to get her net to catch a few.
Hopefully the neighbors didn't see much as groofy has I looked trying to

catch them! Emma had a good time trying to catch them.

Weekend in Osky

Grandpa holding Brooke before the Hawkeye game on Saturday.
Emma thought it was pretty neat to touch Brooke.
She loved being around her cousin. I think Emma will
be a great Big Sister!


Emma getting ready for the game!
She is supporting her favorite player...Go Sash!

Emma couldn't wait to eat the cupcakes that

Grandma picked up! She dipped her nose right into it!

She is watching the game while she take a break from the cupcake!

Emma's First Hair Cut

Emma got her first haircut last Thursday.

She did pretty good, she wouldn't sit by her self, but she sat great

while she was on my lap. Carla my styliest thought it would be a good

idea to get Emma's ends off, so her hair would take off growing, since

it has done well so far.

Emm even got sparkles in her hair when she

was finished. She thought that was pretty cool.

Emma was ready to be done, she wasn't too happy to get her picture

taken with Carla.

Shopping Trip

Emma, grandma and I took a Sunday to head up to the

Outlet in MN. We had a great time! Emma was a good

shopper, she was exhausted by the end of the day.

We decided to take a break with an icy. She loved it...as you can see!

Great Grandma's Birthday.

Emma gets along with Grandma a lot better now.

They both get a kick out of each other!

My parents, aunt and uncles made it to Prime Time in

Algona to celebrate.

Football Time!

A annual preseason tailgate party was a few weeks ago.

My parents were cohost this year. Emma and I were able to make it.

Emma love this blow up herky. Not sure where my pictures of

her playing bago are, but she thought she was big stuff playing with

Grandpa and Grandma.

The picture below is Emma and her friend Kinnick. He is a

month older then Emma. He was hitting on Emma all night, he even tried to kiss and hug

her, but Emma didn't like that at all and pushed him away. It was way

adorable!

Emma is 18 months!

I had to get to work early so daddy got her ready. I had her clothes and hair ribbon layed out, daddy didn't do a too bad of a job getting her ready.

One of Emma's favorite things to do with daddy is go and see

the neighbors cows. And yes they have to take the golf cart!

Gus is pretty excited too for a ride!

Its a big day when he gets to go!

Emma's new thing to have with her 24/7 is her cell phone.

She is most likely telling Gus what to do, she gets kind of bossy

but Gus is starting to listen to her.

Best Friends!!

She tells him to sit and he does!

I can't believe she isn't scared, but Gus is a great

dog and does so well with Emma!

Emma is in the 100% with her weight 30 lbs and height 34.5.

The doctor just laughed and said someone has to be at the top!

Emma really stretched out since her 1 year appointment. Our little

baby is growing up so fast!

Emma is:

*sleeping through the night( she has done this for awhile)

*drinking anything from her sippy cup or with a straw(favorite is milk and juice)

*running and playing all the time

*loves to play catch with any type of ball

*starting to help mommy with chores

she loves picking up, and putting her dishes away

*done using a pacifer!

*going potty, and has to use t.paper

*she is even going at daycare!

Emma got her first haircut! We decided to get her ends off so it will grow faster.

What a month!

Our next hurdle is to get her out of the crib and get her into her big girls bed!

She takes naps in her bed but night time is a little different. We plan to start

working on it this month.
Hopefully she stays sleeping through the night!

Emma helping me make some brownies!

Emma loves licking the spoon. This isn't something I like but

I knew daddy would love the brownies and so did Emma!

Emma's a little upset with me..ok a lot! I thought she had enought but of course

she didn't think so! She went right into the shower, which didn't make her

too happy either!
