Emmy Comes to Play!!

I am so glad that Emmy got to come stay with us this week for a few days!! Hopefully Shae and Jon had a great trip to San Diego!! Emmy was such a cutie! First are some cute videos of just the daily routine, and then some more pictures, and a great story about my tampons...hahaha!!

She is such a good little jumper!
I thought it was so cute that Emmy just burst out into a song about John, Charley, ttana ( Brittana) and Rachael!! I am so glad I caught a little of it on camera!!
So It was way funny because I was doing this horse gallop with my arm out and she started doing it. So here it is!
Em also got really good at spinning!

My Best Friend Emmeline!! :D

This was actually the Sunday before Emmy came to stay with us, but it still counts. We had a combined FHE and Emmy loved running around and leading the music. It was pretty cute! She is soooooo adorable!! :D






















Bahahahaha. So Emmy came in my room from playing necklaces, I was really upset about work stuff, and she wanted me to take a picture of her with all the necklaces. She couldn't wait for the camera, so she just sat down and started digging through my purse. I had the camera, and I said "Emmy Say Cheese!" Then she held this up, and Mom said "Say Tampon!!" Than Emmy just said "Tampon!" Haha It was so funny, and the next day she even remembered what it was! It was pretty cute...the good ole' rockets, as JF would call them! :D It definetly made my day!
More activites in my purse: glasses, and lotion










More necklaces and bracelets. This time they match


















Emmy constantly wanted to be jumping on the tramp or playing in the sand. She kinda slurred the two words jump and tramp into one. She would say something tump or chump!























It was fun, because I am so used to seeing her do everything with Charley, and she was such a good jumper, and I could really focus on watching her. She would bring her knees up so high!









This girl loves nothing more than granny's sand and shovels!















She could play in there for HOURS!!










Showing me a bird feather she found!














She. Loves. It.

○•!Death Cab For Cutie Concert!•○

So I guess one of Dad's clients got Dad 4 free tickets to a concert of Dad's choice, and dad chose Death Cab For Cutie, a family favorite for sure!! I am so glad I got to go!! It was super super fun, and Death Cab was way good! I even got a shirt! :D YAY!!

Opener Ra Ra Riot. They were way sweet. They had some orchestra instruments. Parker even bought their CD!












Opener Aaron Bird. They were pretty cool too, he used a violin, and he did a lot of whistling. It was interesting to see who Death Cab chose to play with them.










Just Chilling, Stoked for DC for C!













Bahaha I just had to put this picture just because of Dad in the background!! :)













Kodak Moment! :)













Dadio...:)













Hahah. Great Picture, especially Dad in the back again!













WE WERE SO EXCITED!!













AH!!! THERE THEY ARE!!!
Walking out on the stage...:)



























We were like back on a hill, but we could see everything, and we stood, danced, and sang along the WHOLE TIME! I had the biggest headache after, but it was SO worth it!! :) Parker's face, don't worry he really did love it!










I think the people next to us, could only hear Scot singing! :) hahah It was great! We partied it up!













Me and My Death Cab Shirt...:) It was the coolest one there, but they didn't have any girls' sizes, so I got a guys one! :) Who cares!











They played on and on into the night!! They even came back for an encore...well a 4 song encore! It was so AMAZING!!!

























haha Parker was way to in to it to turn around!













I think this picture looks the coolest with the lights, and the background screen ( the narrow stairs CD cover/ my shirt design).











They were Incredible live! :D













We. Loved. Every. Minute. Of. It.

Pool Videos

I love these two girlies so much!! They had a lot of fun in the pool! :) Charley is so funny. In the fitst one of her, if you are wondering what she is talking about, she is saying "Ready or not, here I come Shelby." Something about "Save the Day.." That is about all I can translate :D In the second one, I love how I say "Here Comes Charley!" and of course Emmy repeats "Here Comes 'Charwey'!" So cute!!

♥Summer Days♥

I few weeks ago, I had work off (weeding..ugh), so I went to Rays house to play with Emmy and Charley. They had a lot of fun in the water. :)











It was a good idea to put the kiddy pool under the slide. It looked fun. :)

















Wee.. Emmer going down the slide!


















Running to go again...who will be first? This could be a problem. haha There was plenty of screaming and fights, but they still had a blast!
So......










We filled up a pool for Emmy, because of sharing issues. Kids. Haha

Em getting cooled off with the hose!










What a cutie. She loved all the balls. She kept putting the ball under the hose, it would spray in her face, and then she would look over at me and smile. Picture Perfect. I love lil' Charley in the background, and Shae's Prego Ponch :)









After Charley fell asleep, Emmy woke up and could play with Charley's Cars!












She sure loved it. She got them ALL to herself, every kid's dream!












Mom babysits Charley and Birttana on Monday's. I love coming home from weeding to play with them. I painted Charley's Nails like a week ago, and we put some special, pretty jewels on them too. It was fun!









The little green, yellow, and blue things are the nail jewels if you couldn't tell ;)












Haha I love this classic Emmy face. :) It is her 'mad' face, but it is too cute! She was probably mad because I kept taking pictures!











She is so funny, and she has the sweetest personality.













The face again..:)













I think I like her smiley face even better! :D













Emmy knows exactly what the tv remote does. She kept pointing it at the tv trying to turn it on. It was pretty cute!











Emmy liked being wrapped up like a little baby, but it didn't last long, she was ready to move on to the next game!











Playing in the Sandbox. We got brandnew sand this year, and it is SO FUN!! The kids love it! I am glad my sister's live so close, so I can play with their little girls so much! It has been great to have them up all the time this summer, I love it!

Oh and the pink bucket in the middle with the green boat, was our lake creation! We didn't want to get the sand all wet, so we filled up the bucket, and buried it. It was a man-made lake I guess! :)




The Tramp is also a favorite activity. The girls are getting to be pretty good jumpers.

.:Bear Lake:.

The Scenery at Bear Lake was SO PRETTY! These mountains were sweeeeet. They are like layered! The water's color was way beautiful too!











Parker and Ryan hittin' up the double wakeskate. Haha It looks like they are holding hands...really they are doing the wiggey wiggedy as Scot would call it ;)










Parker and Scot's friend Dustin rocking the doulbe wakeskate. In this pic, they are switching places. Dustin went under Parker's rope. It was pretty cool!










Scot and Matt Lundquist...double wakeskating once again :)













4 words: "like father, like son" :D
hahaha, I love it













Dadio on the wakeskate with the 'rainbow warrior' jacket! I think it is sweet that Dad was out there with his new knees :D











bahaha Me body sufing. This pic is classic. The Flying Eagle :)












I. Love. Surfing. Best. Thing. Ever.


















Hahahaha Parker and his Mullet looking off into the distance.













His mullet is pretty hott..haha


















This is the 'Experiment Halfpipe!' It looked way fun, but it was crazy. Parker was on the wakeskate about 10 feet from the boat, we went way fast, and it formed a little halfpipe looking wake.










And Again...













Ryan's wide mohawk/ mullet/ dirty hair cut..So I guess that his sisters that were here visiting the ward saw his hair cut and told their Mom. Ryan said his mom texted him the next day saying "So you are getting your hair cut today?" He was confused, and she said "Yah you ARE getting your haircut!" So now he has a buzz, which actually is more drastic...haha pretty hilarious!













Left: Some White Kid :) haha
Right: Oh that is my BROWN brother. wow. I am jealous.













Scot trying the 10 feet back wakeskate. He said it felt like floating trying to jump over the wake.

















Scotty Boy's Long gorilla surfing arms.


















Matt


















Dustin..aka Dusty Bottoms :)


















Final Shot of the Mullet...it is getting there.













Ry Guy


















PJ


















Parker throwing down the moves on the wakeboard. His grabs were awesome!













YE-AH! Bear Lake was a blast! It was my first time, and I loved it! I slept through the storm, and the real storm...some mexicans showed up at 1 in the morning with kids, dogs, cars(bright headlights) and food( which they cooked in our firepit). They stayed up till 3 am (remember they were about 2 feet from our tents), and then woke up at 6 am...I guess it was crazy. Too bad i slept so good..haha
