7 Steps To Take Down The Grinch

Emma will demonstrate in 7 easy steps how to take down The Grinch this Christmas season.  If pictures are not enough to learn these basic skills, please refer to the video which puts the skills into action.  We hope this is helpful in removing the "Grinches" in your life this holiday season!

Step 1:  It is important to act coy.  You do not want The Grinch to suspect the impending attack.

Step 2:  You've got to get yourself pumped!

Step 3:  Get you game face on.

Step 4:  Grab The Grinch by both hands.

Step 5:  A little smack talk never hurt!

Step 6:  Show The Grinch who's boss.

Step 7:  Go in for the kill.

When all 7 steps are complete, it is important to take some time to relax "Christmas Style".

What A Mess

When daddy feeds me he doesn't care if I get a little messy!  I sure don't mind!  Life is more fun that way :)

7 months

Our little girl is growing up so quickly!  She's 7 months and loving life!  She is loving eating her baby food, blowing raspberries, saying "dadadada", and sliming mom and dad.  We measured her a couple of days ago and she is 27 inches long.  Last week she even pulled herself up to standing in her crib!  It's so fun seeing all of the things she's learning!

This is how I found her sleeping a few days ago.

Just Can't Get Enough

It's Fall and I love this time of year!  It always seems like it goes by too quickly though.  However, what I just can't get enough of is our little Emma!  I'm loving this stage she's in right now!  Her rapid growth and learning is making me a little sad though...my baby is getting too big too fast.

We've kept busy taking rides to look at the beautiful leaves, going to football games, and spending time with family.  Dustin's parents and sister visited the valley last week and we had a good time with them.  Dustin's dad came to go elk hunting with Dustin.  Emma was able to spend lots of time with her two little cousins and she loved it!  I think the 3 of them will get into lots of mischief some day!

Will we ever get tired of taking pictures of the 3 of them together?!

Cousins!

Silly About Squash

We started feeding Emma some solid foods the last few weeks and she has really enjoyed them for the most part.  The other night I was feeding her some squash and she was just being funny - shaking with excitement and laughing!  I thought we better try to get it on video.  We were able to capture some of the excitement, but of course, once she saw the camera her attention was drawn to it and she kind of settled down.  Still, I hope you enjoy her silliness!

Visiting Family

The past week Emma and I have been enjoying a relaxing time in Missouri.  After a busy summer, it was nice to not worry about doing anything!  Dustin drove out and joined us on Saturday.  We'll be heading to Illinois this week for his brother's wedding.  We've loved spending time with family and look forward to another fun week!  (Just not looking forward to all of the driving we still have left!) 

I'm new to this whole blogging thing...Jen and Missy will probably be amazed I've finally joined the blogging world :)  When life settles down and I can figure this out a little better, I'll try to get some more interesting things on here!  Until then, we're just going to be enjoying life and enjoying our family!
