Emma playing with her dolls

My little fashion queen! One of Emma's favorite things is the

pink wagon grandma Schumacher got for Emma. Her

dolls and their friends love the rides she gives them!

Emma plays with her dolls everyday. She loves them so much. She is going to be a great big sister, I know she will be a great help, at least we are hoping! She usually needs to have her purse, baby, Elmo, babies blanket and bottle and she is set to go! If you can see in the first picture she is wearing her new shoes grandma Thul got for her. Emma wanted the Skaretchers that were $36, but we got a deal on these glitter ones at Kohl's! Emma is a shoe girl now...what will she be like in a few years! Not sure Vahn is ready for that! She knows what looks good:)

Mommy's B-day

July 21st I celebrated my birthday with my two favorite people, Emma and Vahn!

I picked up a DQ cake and thought it would be fun

to watch Emma blow out the candles. She loved it!

We had a nice night at home. I got a very special angel to watch

over my flowers from Emma and Vahn. Emma knew

just what mommy wanted:)

Emma just snacking!

Emma having an evening snack. When she gets

hungry she says "a bite". She is starting to figure

out how to open the fridge so this might not be good

thing!

4th of July Weekend

The 4th weekend was a busy one for us but it was fun!

Friday night was my 10 year class reunion, hard to believe its been 10 years!

It was great seeing friends that I haven't seen for a long time!

Saturday morning was WBs parade. Emma did a good job collecting a lot of candy

for us. She even shared it with the kids next to us that we didn't even know. Papa was in the parade

driving one of the fire trucks. Emma thought that was pretty neat. After the parade we had lunch and headed down to the park for there activties. It was so hot so we weren't down there for too long. Later that day we had a small family get together at my parents house, where we watched the fireworks that night. Sunday morning we headed to Battle Creek to see the Schumacher family.

There we went to a parade at 4 PM and hung out at grandma's with aunt, uncles, and cousins.

Emma enjoyed running around and getting a lot of attention.Vahn and I got another night to

watch fireworks. Both nights were great! What a great 4th weekend with family and friends!

Summer 2010

Ok, I know its been awhile but here are some pictures of the summer.

It has been busy and exciting! To start off the summer Nick came back for

Ryan Goodchild's wedding we had in June. While he was home for a short visit we made

it to a Twin's game.( those pictures will be posted next) This post is just the weekend in West Union. I posted the pictures backwards so bare with me! It has been awhile!

What Uncle Nick??
Talking with the grown ups!

Emma getting tired. Had enough of the party, Tristan was

trying to get her to smile, but she never did!

Emma loves to dance, she was trying dance with Kinnick but he

didn't want anything to do with her! It was the cutest thing!

Emma and her friend Kinnick were loving the stairs! It gave us a workout. Thank

goodness to grandpa and grandma's!

Having snacks in the room(Happy Hour) Emma loving the cheese!
