Daddy: (Smug look) "That's right..."

Summer Fun: Tea Party with Nonna

What little girl wouldn't be in heaven when Nonna (my mom) brings her a cute porcelain tea set, and has tea parties with her? Complete with tiny snacks on tiny plates...

My Little Accident Waiting to Happen

Last summer it was a broken leg, this summer it was stitches...

She fell out of the hammock (back in May) right before our Palm Springs trip... Can you say "waterproof band aids?" Which, BTW don't work very well.

Fun at the Spectrum

Went to the Irvine Spectrum on Monday with a couple of friends and their kids. The kids played in the water park-thing, while the moms got to sit in the shade and chat. Combined with a little Rubio's for lunch, it was a perfect summer day!

No More Crib!

May 14, 2009

The dreaded day finally came (all my friends were jealous that this lasted so long) that Emily figured out how to climb out of her crib. So we took off the front and it turned into a toddler bed. As a special treat, I bought Emily some Princess sheets... She loves them!

Easter Sunday 09

This Easter was a little bit strange...I had a medical treatment being done, so I didn't make it to church. I was able to help get Emily ready in her Easter dress, thank goodness. (Wouldn't want to leave that up to Brian. As amazing as he is with her, his hairstyling skills are extremely limited!)

Later, that afternoon we went to a friends house for an Easter Dinner, and other Easter festivities:

Daddy Daughter Date to the Bolsa Chica Wetlands

4/11/09

As one of the many outings that Brian takes Emily on, this time they went to the Bolsa Chica Wetlands. It is an ecological reserve, where you can see birds and other wildlife.. It's just a short trip up PCH, about 10 minutes away.
Posin' on the bridge...
Wildlife
Run Run!
Sorry Daddy, it's the nail polish that has her so excited!

Family Birthday Party and Easter Egg Hunt

April 10

Went to Oma's house for a little egg hunt and birthday party. Emily had so much fun finding the easter eggs.









Then she opened presents from Grandma and Grandpa, Oma and her cousins Jill and Kim.


Cake, at last! Thank you Oma for such a yummy cake!


What a great time Emily had!

Potty Training Take 34

Happy 3rd Birthday Emily!

3/27/09
Emily loves Mickey Mouse Clubhouse so we thought a Mickey Mouse party would be fun. Here is the pinata.
Fun in the bounce house...
Jumping the gun on the candles...She knows she is not supposed to open them.

Cute retro Mickey cake that my friend Melody O'Dell made for me.
Do you think Emily likes the cake???



Get me down, I want to play!
Hanging up the pinata...


Presents....

What a fun day! Till next year.
