Splish Splash

Splish splash in the pool out back. What a fun afternoon together. Em really likes the water and when she was out of the pool she tried to figure out how to get back in. Sam enjoyed practicing her lessons from swimming lessons.

Samantha is telling Emmy about the sprinkler and Em sat there while the sprinkler splashed her. They both giggled.



Sisters

The girls enjoying summer together. The girls giggled at each other - Em liked Sam's glasses and Sam liked Em's lil pippies in her hair.

Before church, cute girls. Em was a wild girl and wouldn't sit still and that stayed the case for church too.

Fun times

Emmy really likes to fly and play elevator with daddie. She is all smiles when she is in the air.
Sam finished swimming lessons tonight. She did super! She is showing off her certification card- on to the next level now.

Good times

We enjoyed a visit to the Amanas with all the Hilbert's for Nana's b-day. Lunch, desserts, shopping and just fun all around.
Hard to catch everyone looking.... the grandchildren and Nana.

Grandpa and Grandma

We enjoyed dinner after Grandpa and Grandma came to help at an event for Mom. The ladies had a fun time sharing their summer fun with Gpa and Gma. Emmer and Grandma had to visit lots and shared a few good giggles and smiles.

Em fascinated with the marker all over her hand (and see the high chair tray too)

Em thought making posters was really fun.

PIzza and Pancakes

Emerson enjoyed her 1st piece of pizza last night. She ate the whole piece, it only took her about 2 hours. Pretty good since she only has two bottom teeth. We finally had to take it away at bed time. We had to pry it out of her hand and you can only imagine the screams.
What we think Emmy was thinking...."Mmm- thanks guys- I do think I will eat this and you thought you were just being funny....."

For breakfast she likes her frozen pancakes still.... check out her long hair now.


Happy 4th of July 2009


Time for smores after a fun day. We enjoyed the fireworks from our backyard.

Emerson did not enjoy the fireworks so much- she cried the whole time. Not sure who didn't like em more- Shelby or Emmy????

However, Emmy did like smores...



More carnival fun

BathtubRaces

Tradition at the Urbandale 4th of July is the bathtub races. Let's just say brrrr this year. We enjoyed throwing balloons at the participants. This is one of Sam's favorite things to do.


Not sure Em should really hold on to one of these balloons.
