I have a lot to catch up on! Obviously we have had a busy few weeks! We went to visit family and friends in The Woodlands the first week of my vacation. Emma LOVED being with her family and I loved being able to have some time with my friends too while we were there. I took Emma to Pump it Up one day for open play. She had a ball!! Wish we had one of these in Corpus. Here we are going down the big slide. We went so fast, my dad could not get a picture of us until the end.
Here is our jumping girl! My child LOVES to jump... thinking Santa may have to bring a trampoline for the back yard.
We have also spent some time visiting the aquarium here in Corpus. Emma loves to see the dolphins and turtles...
We have enjoyed going swimming in Calallen with our Stroller Strides friends. Emma talks about her friends everyday and asks to play or swim with them. We are actually going back to swim with them today.
The Shepherds came to visit for a night in July. I need to get some more pics up of all of the kiddos but Aunt Kimmie, Sophie, Jules, "just Barrett" (as Emma calls him) and Claire all came to spend the night. We had a great time but hope they will stay longer next time.
Emma with my cousin Sophie. Emma looks a lot like Sophie did as a little girl, so I guess you could say this maybe what Emma will look like when she is 18! ha!
Someone made a turtle sandcastle at the beach. Emma had to check it out!

Our big summer vacation was with my family to Sea World. My parents, and two brothers families all enjoyed a weekend in San Antonio and a day at Sea World.
Here is the gang... minus my parents who had to entertain everyone to get this shot!
We played in our rooms and in the hotel pool too. Emma playing with Daddy in the pool
SEA WORLD! I can't wait to go back!
Uncle Max the walrus
Everyone checking out the show. Poor Max... he grabbed the iron the morning they left to meet us. He had a really bad burn on his hand, but he was a trooper and had a great time.
The log ride...my niece Collyn is sitting in front of me but you can't see her! Emma was terrified!
Emma and Daddy checking our Shamu... this was the last show of the night. You can tell we were exhausted.
We went out for a yummy Tex-Mex dinner the last night.
Kyle... she cracks me up! Such a cutie!
Finally a family pic
This past weekend Nana came to see us. Of course we had to take her to the beach!
And out to dinner for her birthday!
Yummy!
On Monday, Emma's friend Ella came over to play while her mom went to a doctor's appointment. These two are two peas in a pod. Hilarious. Here they are both pushing their babies around the house.
Sweet Ella
Emma had a hard time with sharing but enjoyed having Ella over to play. We hope Ella had fun and will come back again!
Emma started pre-school on Tuesday. She absolutely LOVES it. Her teacher is wonderful and I love that she is learning so much. She will go on T, W, Th, all day this school year. It is a long day and has taken some adjusting to this week but overall I am so pleased. She even could tell me part of her bible verse for the week. "The Lord is my Shepherd". Her teacher's name is Miss Cervantes... which Emma calls her Miss Vantes. Apparently she cries when her teacher leaves. (Emma stays for a full day normally until 4 or 5).
By the way do you love her new shirt? It has a poodle on it just like our dog Bella.

Here is a picture of her this morning. It was bring your stuffed animal pet to school. She chose her monkey from the San Antonio zoo. :)
By the way do you love her new shirt? It has a poodle on it just like our dog Bella. My baby is getting so big! I am noticing how grown up she looks.
Here is Emma very excited about the Shamu show starting!
