Scavenger Hunt

Lately, I have noticed Emma Kate's pacifiers keep disappearing. A couple of weeks ago, we were down to just one left so I cleaned/ reorganized the house from top to bottom and still didn't find any of them. I went and bought her some more last week before we headed out of town for the weekend. While we were visiting family, I tried to pay close attention to what she did with them. I happened to look down into a bathroom garbage can to see one of her pacifiers in it! I couldn't help but laugh because I guess she has been putting them in our bathroom garbage at home and we have been throwing them away one by one without checking! Once we got back home, I made sure to keep track of where each one was throughout the day. Since Emma Kate has started walking everywhere and opening drawers and cabinets, this was not an easy task! She has had us cracking up because we have been finding her pacifiers in the funniest places! And now she has started trying to "share" them with the dogs by holding the pacifier up to their heads! I hope they do not start to think the pacifiers are new toys! Needless to say, we have had our hands full with this sweet little girl and are loving every second of it!!! She makes us laugh every day and we are so thankful to have her in our lives!

Fourth of July Weekend with Family!

To celebrate the Fourth, we went to Doodle and D's house for a few nights. Our cousins from Jackson were there visiting and we had a blast seeing them and playing games. It is so hard to remember to take pictures while I am chasing a one year old around but I managed to catch a few cute ones! On Monday we went up to Drew's aunt's house for the day but forgot the camera so we didn't get any pictures that day. I can't believe how fast time has flown by. This time last year, Emma Kate was less than a month old and was so tiny! Now she is walking around getting into everything!

July 3, 2011 - I can't believe she is this big!
July 4, 2010 - So little and such a big bow! :)
Max liked the pool more than Emma Kate did!
