Emerson is TWO!!

My baby is now full of sass and attitude and two in EVERY sense of the word! She's super cute and a lot of fun to have around but the girl is all girl and therefore very exhausting!

She's in love with anything purple and pink and Minnie Mouse, which was the obvious theme of all her birthday gifts! She can spot pink things from a mile away and will yell! "Cute mom! Look! Pink!" She also LOVES to cuddle and almost always has her planket or banket depending on how she decides to pronounce it that day! She loves to do her make up, she calls it pretty eyes, and her hair and she's super independent! I think she's two going on ten some days! Other days, she's still my baby who says "I wanna hold you"

She's a very special part of our family and we can't believe she's so old!

Emerson saw this Minnie Mouse costume and had to put it on right away then she wouldn't take it off and kept saying "look moma! I'm MeMe! So cute!"

She and Tate also had a blast at bear lake, even though it rained half of the time! This picture of her in the purple dirt was her before we had all unloaded our cars! She was more dirt than kiddo! We had so much fun with both sets of grandparents and all of the aunt's and uncles except uncle ty! However, the pale ones in the group got very sunburnt! :( me and Tate were good to go though!

Oh and not to brag but I made this dress for Tanner's sisters wedding next month! Modest Yellow lace ain't easy to find going into fall so I gave it a shot!

Backyard Bliss!

FINALLY after MONTHS AND YEARS of blood sweat and tears on this dag gum backyard we are finally able to play in it for the first time this summer and we're excited!

This yard has been a pain in our backs since we bought this house, the weeds were up to the top of the fence but after some hard work and landscaper drama we're finally out enjoying it!

This week, we're headed to bear lake with all of the grandparents and aunts and uncles so we're testing out the tent to see if it survived the last camping adventure and jumping out on the trampoline! It's an awesome feature to have it dug in ground but my goodness LOTS of man hours! Think before you dig because once you start you're kind of committed!

This would've been EXTRA nice a few months ago when our fosters were still here but we're happy to have it now!
