What have we been up to?

I have lots to catch up on the blog about...BUT unfortunately my computer is down :( I'm just REALLY hoping that I can get all of my pictures off of my hard drive!!! Here is a list of what we've been up to
1. Emery's 15 month check up (yes I realize she's now 17 months...oops)
2. Halloween - Emery was the most adorable Minnie Mouse you've ever seen (and I just realized I don't know how to spell Minnie Mouse...I definitely had to google it)
3. Diamond Drudge 2011 (I lost my ring playing in the leaves in our back yardwith Emery and we literally looked for DAYS and HOURS with leaf blowers, tarps, UV lights, stadium type lights, weed eaters, and on our hands and knees with LOTS of GREAT friends...SHOUT OUT to Chris Dowdy who was the winner!!)
4. Playing outside
5. Layna's 1st Birthday :)
6. Family Pictures
7. I've taken several other families pictures, and I'm REALLY starting to enjoy doing it! I may or may not stalk pinterst for ideas!
8. The sweetest 8 year olds on the face of the Earth got baptized last Sunday -- I was one PROUD big sister!
9. Going to Richmond for Lindsay's (college roommate) wedding which was a BLAST!! We got to introduce Emery to some of my roommates from school and catch up with some girls we had not seen in a long time!
10. Crafting - I've borrowed Emily's cricuit :) And I'm just getting started...have lots of cute and cheap craft ideas for gifts and for decorations this Christmas...YAY!!
11. Friend Family Thanksgiving - Good food, good conversation :)

I know I've said it before, but Thanksgiving is my FAVORITE holiday...so count your blessings this tomorrow, spend time with the ones you love, and EAT LOTS OF FOOD :)

Halloween Me-Me style

So it’s no secret that Emery’s favorite thing on the face of the Earth show to watch is Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.  Emery refers to Minnie and Mickey as “Me Me”, and she will get the remote, point it at the TV and say “Me Me” until we turn it on for her.  Needless to say it was SUPER easy to decide what Em would be for Halloween this year…Me Me!!  We just went around to trick or treat at some of our family members houses, and a couple close friends’.
