Playing Mommy

Emma's new thing is to play mommy. She gets all of her dollies and animals, wraps them up in blankies and reads them a story. The only small problem is that she puts them to sleep in our front room....needless to stay they have been sleeping in this room for the last week. If we even think about moving them...emma has a cow. Oh well...we love that she has become so grown up!

An Amazing Deal

(pictures ksl.com)

Can you believe it...one of my best girlfriends(who was 7 months prego on the show) totally won $1,000,000 last night on deal or no deal. I am so happy for her... and nobody deserves it more than Jess and Ross.

It was so much fun watching the show with her last night. It was way intense....none of us knew because she has had to keep it quiet since July 8th. The second to last case we were all just sobbing because we knew regardless she would win a butt loud of money. Either 200,000 or one million. So of course you have to go for it. She did... and then the final #4 case was opened and there it was $1,000,000. We freaked out. WOO WOO! ( if you watched you would know what that means)

...And NO she is not naming her baby howie.

Emma at Lagoon...the camera died after this picture. She loved all the rides but the lady bug drop. It was a little to high for her...even after i rigged her hair in a top notch pony just so she could meet the heighth requirement.

the Year of a Million Dreams

Lets start off by saying it is okay to take a 2 year old to Disneyland. Everybody told me "she is way to young"...no way. Emma Loved every minute of it. Best of all she was free. Emmas only issues were the characters in costume like Mickey, Pooh Bear and Tigger.(she could only handle them from a distance.) However she loved loved loved the princesses...it is worth the 1 1/2 hour line to meet them!

From Peter Pans Flight to the Haunted Mansion Emma was entertained. It was by far the best family vacation we have taken since Emma was born. Disneyland is the the Happiest Place on Earth!

Whizzer!

Our Favorite item of the week....Juno and the Moldy Peaches (song: anyone else but you)They kind of go hand and hand. Greg and I were not so sure of this movie at first. But we hung in there after juno makes a visit to the Women Now clinic. "Where they help women now" ....we laughed until we cried. I love humor that makes you wonder if you even should be laughing...but you do because you cant help yourself. if you have not seen it...go out and buy it. We were first in line.
