Long time, no post!


Wow!  It really has been a while!  I have just been so exhausted lately, hmmmmm.....

Anyway, we are in Louisiana right now, Baton Rouge, visiting Dan's Dad, and having a blast.  Here is a picture of Emmy's favorite thing to see here:


This is Mike the Tiger, LSU's current mascot!  They have the most amazing tiger enclosure for him, and he is visited by thousands and thousands of people each year.  LSU blood runs deep!  I am constantly amazed at what great fans there are here in Baton Rouge, and the entire south.  Although they had a pretty sad game yesterday!  We were at a rest home for the last five minutes of playing time, and it amazed me that all the patients were actually focused on the game, and knew what was going on!  The south is the place to have a football team, they have the best fans!  

Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!  We sure did!  Post more soon.

Happy Halloween!

I know, its a little late. I have been playing catch-up around the house. Every weekend I seem to get really behind, and every Monday I have to try to get everything done at once! I guess I am just a true procrastinator, down to the core :)

This year Emmy was a butterfly. She had the most adorable wings, and two really cute curled pigtails. She loved being a butterfly actually. When we first got the wings, she didn't want anything to do with them. One night her Papa was over for dinner, and told her that when she wore the wings she would get candy. She immediately let him put them on her and turned as said I want "candy, cah-ket (chocolate)." So, for the past week every time she saw them she would ask for 'cah-ket' and want to put them on. The night of Halloween she was so excited to get candy! We went to my parents ward Trunk or Treat. She walked up to each person and said 'cer teat' (trick or treat), even the scary ones. This girl has her priorities right, candy over being afraid of scary people! Ha! She got tons of candy, and probably would have eaten it all that night if I let her!
Here are a few pictures of the night.
Ready to go Trick or Treating!
At the Trunk or Treat with Uncle Roger.
Ty and Celeste, didn't he make a great Joker?
He was acting so funny, he kept hiding and scaring me, totally in character!

It's so hard to be so little and not be able to go down the big slide :) They watched for a good half an hour!
