Fun at Maw Maw's

There was one day that we stopped at Maw Maw's and Papa Steve came by too. Emmett had so much fun playing in the leaves and running around with the dogs. It was a perfect fall day!

Longest Road Trip EVER (getting to Utah)

Two adults. A two year old terror, and a three month old. Plus two large dogs. 

The trip to Utah was 3 days in the car, three full days in Utah, and then 3 days driving back. Insane, right? Here are some pictures from the drive there. It was worth it to see family, but I won't be doing another road trip for quite a while!


Camping at the KOA in St. Louis, MO. Beautiful weather - got really cold that night!

We had to really wrap Susie up to keep her warm. Little Burrito!

Emmett was NOT very cooperative as we were trying to pack up the tent, so we had to improvise a little time out session.

After this, I put my foot down and insisted that we stay in the KOA Kabins. Bunk Beds rocked Emmett's socks off!

We were at a fast food restaurant, and Emmett wouldn't get out of the dog pen. We finally got him out and went inside to get food. These very nice people stopped us and told us how much fun they had watching him in the dog cage. I'm just glad they didn't call the cops or something! 

One thing I love about the West is the big skies. This was in Wyoming. Since there's nothing else to look at there.

 

Susie was SERIOUSLY the best behaved of everyone. She is so easy-going.

Spring Break Vacation 3

Easter Sunday was a nice quiet day. We went to church with Grandma and Grandpa, and then went up to see my grandparents, aunt and uncle, and cousins. He had a blast running around outside, especially with my cousin's dogs. He was really missing Nick and Gracie! He also got to go on a ride in the convertible, which he thought was pretty cool (daddy got to drive, which HE thought was pretty cool).

Snow!

It finally feels like winter here! It rained for days, and then last night it turned to snow. There was some really neat and kinda creepy thunder snow!

This morning daddy had to go out to shovel the snow and scrape off the truck, so we all went out to play!  E had a blast!

More Swimming

Cam had the cub scout swimming party, so E and I tagged along. He did ok in the pool, but wouldn't it be our luck that there was something to distract him again - you guess it. A dog! Sometime we'll go swimming and there won't be a dog!!

Life is tough, pool hopping and playing with dogs!
