Some pictures from our trip home

Fun in the sprinkler at Grandma & Grandpa's in Bismarck.

And no, I don't wear clothes when I don't have to.

At the 4th of July parade in Mandan.

The slide to get out of the bounce house in Mandan.

Random thoughts

Out of the blue one day, Emma counted to 14 all by herself. Before that she hadn't even made it to ten before.

There was a thunderstorm at bedtime the other night. At first she thought the thunder was cool and said, "Boom, boom, boom." Then there was a really loud one and she said, "No like it!"

Last random note - Today she got her bangs trimmed for free by Stella's grandma. Saved us $15! We went over to play with Stella today because both of her parents are out of town and it made Stella's day to see Emma.

My new ball I got for my birthday. Not too fond of rolling in it yet, but maybe someday. Thanks Nikki, Marcos, and Stella!

Yay!

I'm pretty proud of myself for figuring out how to do captions on pictures. Not real easy. Something happened to the last one, but I don't feel like re-doing it. If anyone knows of an easy way to do this, please let me know.




Love my mac & cheese.






Who needs clothes???






Happy 32nd Birthday Daddy!







Ready to go swimming in my new suit.






My new tiger I got for Valentine's Day.





The teachers at day care told me this day that Emma really has fun there. A couple of weeks before this she came home covered head to toe in blue paint.
