Emma's Party

We had Emma's First Birthday here at our house with friends and family. It was a great time. We rented a great bounce castle and have a dome climber--the kids just played like crazy in the backyard. I think Emma even had fun at first I think she was a little overwhelmed!!!

Emma in her birthday outfit--she refused to wear her bow--so her hair was wild and crazy the whole day!

Getting Ready to blow the candles out

All the kids waiting to get their piece of cake while Emma enjoyed hers

Really enjoyed hers!!

The cakes and the flowers. We got the cake from a friend Michelle--divaofcakes.com and the flowers daddy brought home for Emma. Overall I think it was a great first birthday. She got a lot of girly toys which we needed. Now we can get ready for Thanksgiving and then Christmas will be here. Thankfully we are heading to out of town for Thanksgiving so I dont have to do much!!

Emma's First Photos

We took Emma's First Year Photos right before her birthday. My stepmom Lynda Badger who is available to take your Christmas card or whatever you need a photographer for took these. I have sooooo many to chose from I barely can. I still have not decided which ones I am going to print, I love them all---

Hope you enjoyed them--if you like them you can see Lynda's website at www.photographedbylynda.blogspot.com and give her a call!!!

Halloween!!

We started out Halloween heading to Travis Parker's 1 st Birthday Party which was soo fun because we got to wear our costumes.

Emma is a dalmatian and Ryan is the fire fighter!! Once Ryan was in costume he didnt want to take it off!

At night Ryan added a little soot to the dramatic effect

Emma added a nose for nighttime and she refuse to wear the hat and ears!

Emma getting in Ryans face-- I only wonder what they were talking about

Ryan and Camden a year later!! We have this picture from last year and my how they have grown!!

Halloween was fun! Ryan was kinda in shock of everyone dressed up but loved going door to door to get candy. Emma just thought cool we just get to play outside! Ryan will probably be in costume the next time you see him because first thing this morning was where is my wee woo coat and pants and hat-- yes he got to wear it again today.

Emma's First Haircut!!

Emma got her first hair cut on Thursday the 29th!! I know she didnt have much hair and you all probably think I am crazy but it just need some shaping. Plus I have heard if you cut it it will grow and that is what I am hoping for!!

We went to cool cuts for kids which was nice because they sit in a car and can watch a video the whole time.

Layering the top--Emma did great, sat still and all!!

Oooohhhhh I got a bow in and I am all pretty. Mind you the bow stayed about 20minutes until she realized it was there and out it came!

After Emma's haircut she sat with daddy while Ryan got his cut. Daddy came to help with haircuts but ended up playing video games!!

Ryans turn! Dad has been cutting his hair lately but we needed a reshaping.

Cool Cuts does a great job with kids but really pricey--- two toddlers looking good and 40 dollars later!!!

Pumpkin Patch

We went to the pumpkin patch at a church near us and the kids had fun. Ryan kept saying lots of pumpkins then Emma didnt know what to think. Here are some photos from the adventure...

Ryan trying to decide which pumpkin he should get

Attempting to get a photo of the two of them--this was quite hard-- Emma didnt want to sit still and Ryan well he is a typical two year old boy wanting to do his own thing!!

Emma just resting!!

Overall the pumpkin patch was fun--then everytime we drove by any pumpkin patch for the next weeks Ryan asked if we could stop and get more!!!
