the Fourth of July!!!

more of the fam!

Josh with his newest love- passion fruit-- we went out and picked them :)

Liz with the squid- we also saw a baby lobster, an octopus, 3 moray eels in a fish box, 3 little eels swimming around and a puffer fish! wow! it was a great day :)

Emmy tied to her best friend Booky! so so cute :)

Emmy kept trying to grab the squid (the child has no fear!) so I distracted her with the ground- not the greatest idea...

a fun day at the beach...

Dad found a giant squid of death...

Josh loved him!

He later became bait.

Red, white and blue!

adventures in the walker...

she is so funny! she always is showing up with a pair of jammies- I don't know how she finds them, but I take them and put them away and then a few minutes later she is running around the house chewing on them. wow.

she loves to grab things and run away-- this time, she didn't realize how big the thing that she grabbed was- ha!

puppy chewing.

all of these adventures, including this photo, occurred sometime between 6 am and 7 am- she is a busy little thing early in the morning...

walking all over laundry day!

Emmy was a crazy girl today- she kept running around the house like a marathon runner.

laundry day! check out the view from our balcony I love my life!

I HATE this rooster- he lives in the back yard behind us and runs away when I come out because I throw rotten fruit at him.

more laundry day and more of our balcony :)

the happiest child alive!

Are you serious? I'm sorry, but I want to eat her alive!

I love her little face.

so happy to be alive!

Even happier!

She was so hyper today- like a little crazy...

canips-

this is a canip- it is a funny little Carribean fruit that is just now in season.

these aren't in order-- this is the pit when we are done.

this is stage two- you pop the peel and take it off then eat that slimey eye looking thing in the middle...

red, white and blue outfit #2~

Graduation day!

Emmy with Jemula, Jemuna and Junior- they are Jemulynn's siblings-- there is also a brother named Jemuel who is not in the picture- no kidding!

I just snapped a ton of these in case someone was blinking...

"Fullfilling My Dreams" was the theme- a dance number was a part of the ceremony- loved it! they also mentioned God many times-- that was kind of neat coming from the principle.

Emmy and momma!

we love each other! we got all ready for Jemulynn's (a native member girl) graduation- it was fun!

little poser!

I love this pic- she always poses like this- it's so cute!

sweaty girl with black beans under her nose- bless her heart!

she thinks that spoons are the best thing= oh wait, she thinks that EVERTHING is the best when it is in her mouth- which everything is :)

so so happy!

what?

the first red, white and blue outfit of the week!

she squeezes when she gets excited-- I love it!

puppy chewing!

little cuteness!

Emmy and I bought a bunch of canips from a local house with a cani tree in front- Emmy was quite pleased...
