Life

There are some moments in life that make you think that it just can't get any better than this.

Here are a few of those moments for us
Emily has started helping us vacuum. It takes twice as long but it's so cute and who can discourage a little one from wanting to help.

I put Emily on the counter to recover from a boo boo and she hopped in the sink and started playing.
I guess she thought the counter needed cleaning!

Helping Mommy make cookies!

Yummy!

What a cutie!

Giving Daddy a drink

What a funny girl

Christmas

J.R. built Emily a toy box for Christmas!

When J.R. told me he was going to build her a toy box I was very worried that it wouldn't look very good, but I was pleasantly surprised with how it turned out

They have little ballerina's on them. Emily really liked them!

The way Emily opened the present made the wraping paper into a little hat!

This is the first time Emily has actually posed for the camera! I told her to stand in front of the tree and smile and she did! I was pretty excited.

Teasing Emily!

Christmas Morning

At first Emily wasn't so sure what to think of everything but she warmed up pretty quick

The toy box was her favorite toy! Now she gets in and says "Cleam up, cleam up" and throws all the toys out so she can play in it with only her favorite toys!

She got a slinky in her stocking

Opening up her big present from Grandma cutler

It was a Little People doll house. She loves it!

Emily loves to pop the air bubbles that come in boxes

Books!

Portrait's

J.R.'s sister and her husband enjoy taking professional pictures, so the last couple days I was there Bridgette took some adorable pictures of Emily and I.

This picture was taken while we were testing the flash and other lighting things that they use

Emily and I were supposed to be playing with blocks so Bridgette could get some natural looking shots. This one is just so sweet

Just playin'

Between the blocks and these next two we tried to get some pictures of Emily alone and it didn't go over well. She got very upset and would not let me put her down. We made the most of the situation and took some cute ones of us together! I have wanted to get some Mommy-Daughter pictures with her since she was born so it worked out good.

I love this one of Emily

I think I'm going to use it as her 2 year old picture

I love Emily's smile here

I was tickling her so she would smile!

So Cute!
