Weirdy Wednesday...

Lately, Emmy has had some rough moments in the stroller~happily, today she was a delight in her stroller...

FRIENDS!

Ems and Caleb- he kept putting his head on her shoulder- so cute.

YAY! look at this group- I love it!

Everything about this picture makes me happy- Kelly and I were talking about how people who have NOT lived in Dominica might be judging us right now- BUT if you were here, you would understand that desperate times call for desperate measures...

Shane's aggression face= it's great. I didn't capture Emmy's but it looks about the same :)

I love that in this one he is hanging over the edge trying to understand why on earth Emmy is acting like this! ha!

I love both of their faces here- so funny.

and we not could have a friend post without Matix- he is so nice to Emmy and that always makes us happy!

Emmy's first PRINCESS PAAAAARTAAAAY!!!

Before we left Emmy just had to wear her princess shoes around the house :)

walking up the stairs with Daddy...

I love this one- they are all doing their own thing.

adorable-

Mass craziness! Paige did such a great job :)0

Lucy's birthday was a GREAT time.

Emmy even got a crown, necklace AND wand~ seriously?!

Emmy and her cute 4 year old friend Lucy- I'm so sad because when we met Lu she was still in her 2's. Jason, Emmy and I love our little Lucy Goosey and will miss her terribly-the GREAT news is that they are from St. George- so we will be forever friends- this makes me so so happy!

ANNOUNCEMENT!

Yes, it's true! A new Frederick is on the way :) Hoooray!!! Due in early February... everyone start your prayers!

You know you are in Dominica when...

there is an ice cream VAN named Mr. Whippy,

mothers balance buckets of laundry on their heads while walking home with their naked children,

the drivethru is on the wrong side and/or there are cows in that drivethru,

and last but not least~ almost EVERY soda is broken- oh Dominica!

Shoes!

Emmy's favorite thing in the world right now = SHOES. Any shoe... a stranger's shoes, my shoes, Dad's shoes, friend's shoes~ any shoe.

A riverside photo shoot!

What a little crazy girl!

I just love this little face!

She is getting so big!

Ice Cream with the BERGS!

I love that Matix is into the ice cream and Emmy and Hawken are into each other :)

Such cute little friends.

Silly little eater...

Emmy LOVES pickles!

Here she is giving me the fish-eye~

Messy child!

ATTACK of the LOVIE BANDITS!!!

this is the note we got today!

included were ransom pictures...

BUT what these little bandits don't know~ is that Emmy has 3 (count them 3) of Matix's BOATS! ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha (in a VERY evil tone!)

New favorite pictures...

*THIS* is my new favorite picture- I just love it!

Here are a few of the runners up...

What a fun little day- we love our beach moments!

Weirdy Wednesday!

Many of my friends have cute weekly things for their blogs i.e. "making me happy Mondy" or "5 fun facts Friday" I adore this idea~ after some thought I have decided to have "Weirdy Wednesday" ~ due to the strangeness of my life and most especially my daughter; I found this title appropriate. HOWEVER- today I thought that I would post pics of the sidewalk (that we walk on MANY times a day) collapsing into the earth!- yes you read correctly- the sidewalk FELL into the earth- check out the power pole (that still has live wires attached to it)... OH DOMINICA!

What a fun life we have :)

Who even knows what Ems and Matix are planning on doing in this cabinet...

They are so cute together.

Matix looks like a little cat that just caught a bird~

Such a fun time-we are trying really hard to make it to play group this semester and it has been GREAT! So many moms and kids...

Emmy and Matix exploring- a favorite past time.

peek- a - boo sweeties :)

I realized that Hawken doesn't get much attention on our blog- he is Emmy's "baby" and Matix's little brother- he not only lets Emmy borrow clothes and binkies when needed, he is adorable AND he lets Emmy hold him for the few seconds she wants to- and I emphasize seconds!
