It's getting close to Valentine's and LoVe is in the air!

Emmy with one of her boyfriends Matix
the funny part is that she is NOT in love
with his hugs and tends to SCREAM
bloody murder!

Here they are gazing lovingly-
and they ARE great at sharing with each other :)
(an important aspect of a relationship!)


Here Emmy is LOVING her new flip flops
(her VALENTINE's present from Matix)
THANK YOU SO MUCH! XO love, Emmy

aaaawwwww~ also an ode to Kelly.

yes, my friend Kelly not only birthed a playmate for Emmy-
she also watched my daughter so J and I could go out...

AND took pictures so that I could post- I couldn't have asked for anything more! :)

Beach days :)

my friend Kelly snapped some cute pics at the beach!

the many faces of Emmers...

loving our lives- thanks Kell- a picture of me! (that I didn't take)

I love this little mouser :)

so many reasons to LoVe Dominica :)

sailboats and people carrying things on their heads~

endless rainbows~

shacks and sunsets~

glorious sunsets~

Emmy has a PRETTY fun life!

I just love her little face.

yep! it's CaRnIvAl!!!! I love Emmy's life!

yes- she loves the sand :)

I think this pic is great!

it's all in the details (check out the sandy cheeto!)

life with friends is downright FUN!

Emmy with her friends Ella and Gina-
she obviously thinks she is a queen!

sleepy peepy

Emmy with her little friends for "Story Time" the newest highlight of our lives!

ok, she does have to be the center of attention- but what 14 month old doesn't?

Red Rck Haven~ I love these days!

Our little cutie enjoying a rare beach chair!

Emmy and one of her little friends Avery- aren't they cute!

just being herself...

Emmy and her friend/boyfriend/neighbor Shane-

what a wicked little grin he has!

(don't be jealous Hela and Matix- competition is healthy!)

How I spent my day-

chasing after my suicidal cherub-

though not relaxing-

it was GREAT fun :)

Regis and Kelly entry photo-

not my MOST favorite- but it had to be recent
and this one fell within the dates :)

Jammie cuteness!

of course, the next morning- after I have submitted my photo...

Emmy decides to be beautiful- of course she does!

I love her little "I just woke up face!"

wow...

so- Regis and Kelly are having a beautiful baby contest...
I think Emmy should win-
above are pics in which I tried to capture her beauty...

waiting for Daddy to tickle her- so cute!

more attempts to capture my "beautiful baby"

and even more-

I finally just used one of the 1000 old cuties from this last month-

not worth it!

moments of the day :)

little miss serious

my beautiful life :)

taking her climbing to new levels- how much higher could she get?!

odds and ends- :)

fun pool moments-such fabulous times :)

Emmy's hair is GREAT

the ellusive Dino dog- I see him all of the time and finally got a pic-

he is HUGE I needed to have someone stand next to him for perspective

that is a normal sized backpack- if that helps...

Look who learned to climb-

all in one day- SERIOUSLY?!
she climbed the chair and then the table-

PS- A Baby Story on TLC is of course on :)

PAAAAAAARTAAAAAY! let's just say~Tate knows how to do birthdays...

delight!

i LOVE that the cupcake matches Emmy's birthday outfit.

just chilling...

loving the Tate's presents.

I love this pic- she was obsessed with the bday decor.

and party hats...

she couldn't stop looking at the balloons and flags :)

isn't this pic darling? so so cute.

what a fun little group of friends-

Emmy loves all of them so much!

Tate, Avery and Caleb, Emmy, Declan and Ella :)
