4th of July

My 29th birthday was a wonderful one.

My super hero family treated my like a queen the whole weekend. I even slept in almost every day (till 7:00!)

After a delicious breakfast, taco lunch and ice cream cake...

...we blew up inner tubes and rafts for our float down the river.

We calmly floated down the river and even did the (small) rapids at the end. Emmett did it over and over and over...

My inner tube busted about half way through the ride. I floated into a branch and as I tried to unstick myself, the branch punctured through and the air bubbles exploded around me. It was hilarious! I sat there unable to move (thanks to unborn baby and Eisley both weighing me down) until it was fully deflated. Luckily we had brought an extra tube!

Eisley is afraid of dogs, even 7 lbs ones.

Dancing Emmett

About 2 months ago we went to see Yo Gabba Gabba at the Mall of America. I recorded Emmett dancing to the music. Maybe it's because I'm his mom, but I can't watch this video with out laughing. Hopefully it will at least bring a smile to your day!

And yes, the very last instant on this clip is just as Emmett is knocking into Eisley and she falls down. I always turn the camera off one split second too early!

Full of Surprises

We went to a little amusement park where I remember going as a child. Emmett was surprisingly brave and wanted to try a couple rides. The first one we went on was the swings.

Look Dad, no hands!

Then Eric and Emmett rode the ferris wheel. We were so surprised that Emmett wanted to do this. And even more surprised that he enjoyed it!

Then Eisley and Eric went on the Super Slide. Emmett did not want to go on this one. Which also surprised us because he loves big slides.

The evening consisted of a beautiful reception to celebrate my grandparents' 60th wedding Anniversary and also their 80th birthdays.

Here is the couple of honor.

Eisley enjoyed the show.

Here are the kids looking so cute all dolled up.

Emmett's first public performance singing for appx 150 people! Again, I was surprised that he even got up on the stage (chair) and sang. Although he was really shy!

Emmett's Music Videos

Emmett LOVES music. He loves singing, dancing, playing instruments, and playing air guitar. Enjoy!

Singing, Xylophone and the Attack of Eisley...
