Emy's First (Intentional) Haircut

Emy got her first haircut last week, she looks like a little lady (which I hate because I still want her to be my baby). She was ok with the cutting but she didn't enjoy having her hair blow dried. Surprisingly there were no tears or tantrums, I'm glad she behaved better for a stranger than she does when I try to do her hair.

Halloween

Happy Belated Halloween! Marti was Cinderella, of course, and Emersyn was Mulan. I was really glad that they both were old enough to understand Halloween this year. Our new neighborhood is filled with kids, we almost ran out of candy (and I buy a lot).

Nevada

A couple months ago when Steph and Jason were in town we went to Steph's hometown in Nevada for Tyler's baptism. I just barely got around to downloading the pictures on to the computer and as I was looking at them I remembered how fun it was, so I am putting the pictures on now (better late than never)...

Oktoberfest

We took a day to go to Oktoberfest this year. Kory and Emersyn had a lot of fun going down the Alpine Slide, Emersyn wanted to go faster. Marti loved having her face painted, after we washed it off she asked me everyday if we could do it again. We took the tram to the top of the mountain and Kory and Aaron took the girls back down on the chair lift (Marti called it the swings). We got some bratwurst for lunch, it still amazes me to watch Marti and Emy eat, they finished their food in about 10 seconds and then asked for more. Here's some pics...

Starburst Wrappers

Marti and Emersyn love Starbursts, they would eat them all day if I let them. They have always come to me and had me unwrap the Starbursts for them but yesterday they both decided they could do it themselves. I was kind of skeptical, but I let them try it. After sitting there watching for a few minutes I asked Marti if she needed my help, "no, I can do it myself". She finally did it herself and then she reached over and helped Emersyn open hers. It was the smallest, silliest thing, but I was so proud.

Freckles

This was a conversation I had with Marti a few weeks ago...

Marti (pointing): What's on your face?
Me: Those are freckles
Marti: Oh
Marti (now touching my face with her finger): You have a f!@kle there and a f@*kle there and a f*$kle there

That's right my 3 year old said the f word, multiple times. She probably would have kept pointing out all my f*$kles but I scared her when I burst out laughing.

Picture Time

We went and got some pictures taken of the girls today. Usually it is Emersyn that has a hard time with pictures, but today Emersyn was awesome and Marti needed a little persuasion (persuasion = candy).
