Yes, I finally did an update on my blog
So I updated the blog - I know I'm a slacker. But this cute little girl makes up for it right!?
Read on for more updates and new pictures of Miss Emily!
Fiesta 2009
We love Fiesta here in Santa Barbara - it's like a party for five days! Good food, good shows and lots and lots of confetti!
We took Emily to her first Rodeo and she kept saying she wanted to ride the horses. I also took her outside to see the Giant Brahma Bull - she loved it and wanted to take it home with her! she also got to wear her new boots, or "cow Boots" as she likes to call them! (Thanks Auntie Deena for the boots!)
Then on Saturday we decided to have our own Pancake Breakfast and catch the Children's Parade downtown. Emily got to dress up in her special fiesta dress that Great grandpa got for her in Spain last year. She said she like the costumes but not the drums. Maybe next year we will get a group together and join the parade! it's never to late to plan early.
After the parade Emily was beat so we took her to my folks place and she took a much needed nap (and I got to make some cards!) We then decided for dinner that night to go to the Mercado del Norte and let Emily experience some carnival rides. She LOVED it!!! and yes we paid $7 for a stupid pony ride - what a rip off! for three minutes of riding - but so worth the smiles Emily had on "Billy" the pony.

Cousins
Recently, my folks, Emily and I drove to Henderson, NV to visit my brother's family and get the cousins together. Both Emily and Makenna had a blast with eachother despite the HEAT! 118 Degress of dry heat.
One day we went to a local kiddie water park. It was 113 at 9 am! the girls liked it for the most part, Emily was a bit unsure and by the time her cheeks were bright pink we decided it was time to seek out some air conditioning and lunch.
Later that night we dressed the girls up in their matching outfits and headed to Chevy's Fresh Mex for dinner. Makenna got to wear the sombrero because we were celebrating her birthday and Emily got her first icecream cone. Afterwards we took the girls to Build-a-Bear and they got to pick out a friend and outfit and name it and the works. Emily picked out a sparkly snow leopard and named it Mia. If you know anything about my girl it's that she names all her animals and babies "Mia" I have no idea why or even where she picked up the name but it makes it easy to remember!
We took the girls back to my brother's house and opened presents and let the girls play!
On Sunday when we left, we had brunch at the Cheesecake Factory and their French Toast was to die for! so yummy!
We took the girls on a carousel ride too!

Finger Painting with Pudding
We had a blast finger painting with pudding recently! We actually didn't tell Emily that it was pudding and you could eat it! Marc couldn't handle all the messy pudding and actually disappeared into the house! But our girl loved it and got a bath afterwards of course!
