Emma playing with her dolls

Emma and I were playing with her dolls one morning

while Gracie was sleeping. Emma does such

a nice job with her babies!!

EMMA'S 2!!

Hard to believe that we had Emma two years ago already!

Where does the time go?

Emma is such a blessing in our lives!

She might act like she is 13 at times with her additude

but we love her dearly!

Her latest thing is ..."later mom...later"! She

usually tells Vahn or I that if she doesn't want to go potty, go to bed or

do something she doesn't want to do! She is a smart one!

Now with Grace, Emma has been a big help and loves

her sister so much!

At 2 years Emma is doing:

Sleeping in her own bed ( just need to move her into her own room!!)

Goes potty (has good and bad days)

Loves meat and potatoes!! (just like her daddy)

Loves Elmo, Mickey Mouse & Princesses

Favorite dance: Hot Dog Dance! (Mickey Mouse Club House)

Plays with her babies: Loves her American Doll and baby cabbage patch doll

They are usually found in her stroller, bunk beds sleeping or high chair

Enjoys doing crafts with stickers, paper, stick clue and of course coloring!

You can find Emma in her room with a pile of books around her. She LOVES books!

She can't wait to take her new trike outside to ride it this Spring!

Emma is wearing size 3T and will be in 4T by summer in clothes and wears size 7/8 in shoes.

She is just a growing!

Emma has become a better traveler since we got our new DVD player.

(she just doesn't like to sit for too long!!) I think she got that from mommy!

Happy 2nd Birthday Emma!!!

We can't wait to see you grow and change more in this coming year!

We love you!

Mom, Dad and Grace

Monday, Monday, Monday!

The count down is on now till I go back to work! Which I am

not happy about but I guess I have to go back.

Grace is counting down the days till the Twins season starts or maybe its mom

that is excited!

Emma trying to put a diaper on her doll.
She needed a little help from mommy!

The tree branch that just fell down over night or during the day.

Just noticed it. We have lots of branches and sticks down!

We will be doing some baking now!

Emma was trying to knee like me!

My mom did a great job! They are so cute!

Getting ready to head out for lunch

Tuesday Emma, Grace and I headed to Algona to meet some coworkers for lunch.

Emma was a super good girl and Grace slept the entire time!

What a nice outing with my girls and good friends!

Looks like she did something wrong!!!

Loves reading her books and playing in her room!

Redings brought Emma her 1st Birthday gift!

Kayla and Marla Reding came over on Saturday and brought

Emma present for her b-day. She got a build a bear and some bracelets.

She loved them both.

She really likes her bear...she slept with it again last night!

Grace all smiles!

Since the beginning of Feb. Grace as really been cooing and smiling!

She is usually a really happy girl if her diaper is clean, she is fed and has

had a nap. She loves sitting in her swing and watching her fishes fly by.

She watches them so well!

Just opened Grandpa and Grandma's Thuls V-day card

Emma and Grace opening up their V-day gifts!

Happy Valentine's Day

Emma was excited to see what was in the bag as you can see. Grace wasn't

too sure about her new seat. They say a 1 month old can sit in it

so we decided to try it. She does like it since she likes sitting up so much!

Emma has started to like Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and the gang! I decided

to get them all Mickey stuff. A new movie for the truck, a book, M & M popcorn bowl

and Minnie Mouse for Grace.

Emma has my old Minnie I got from Walt Disney World so now

both the girls have one. Emma thinks that is pretty neat!

Happy Valentine's Day!!

Sledding with the Rosenmeyer's

Alison and I took the kids to West Bend on Saturday to go sledding

down my parents hill!

We figured it was a nice day and the kids would enjoy it!

Let me tell you it was a work out getting the kiddos back up the hill!!

My little Emma is nothing to light!

Thanks to my parents for coming out

and sledding with us!

Harvard Girls Are All Smiles!!
