Emmy has a PRETTY fun life!

I just love her little face.

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 :)

odds and ends!

cutie hair! :)

cleaning cleaning always cleaning!

yet another drawer moment-oh she loves them!

the best is that we captured the plastic spoon shoved in the electrical outlet

~ so that the fan plug fits- ha!
