Like any other kid, Emily LOVES her stuffed animals. They are such fun playmates. Do you see Emily hiding in the back?
Over the 4th of July weekend, we went up to St. George to hang out with Greg's family. It was the perfect vacation: great people, great food, perfect weather, happy baby, and beautiful surroundings. In photo: Jesse, Joel, Aubry, Meric, Mom Burr, Rachel, Blake, Emily, me, and Greg.
P.S. I promise Emily likes Blake even though it looks like she doesn't in the picture...
On the 4th of July we went to a parade, went swimming, had a barbeque, played games, and watched the fireworks. I think the 4th of July is Emily's new favorite holiday.
It was fun to get some quality time in with Grandpa and Grandma Burr. I guess you could say, we made a memory.
It was just great to spend time together.
Emily warmed right up to her cousins, especially Meric who is just 9 months younger than her. Here they are practically holding hands. Pretty cute.
It was fun to watch Emily and Joel interact. I can tell they will be great friends when they're older. Here they are playing in a bumblebee floaty after we got back from swimming.
Here is Emily being cute at the park in St. George. We wish we could go there every day, but we decided we better be responsible and come back to Vegas.
So, here are some highlights of Emily being cute: One of her favorite things to do is sit in our glass pie dish. Usually she has her feet and legs in the dish too...but she was being so cute, I just took the picture.
And then she gave me her crazy face.
Emily still loves reading books and sitting in my rocking chair.
One of her new favorite places to read her books is in her toy wheel barrow. Well, doesn't it look like the perfect spot to read?
Last Saturday, July 20, we went to the Natural History Museum. We loved walking around and looking at everything. Even Emily had a good time. Here we are with the mummies.
Here is Greg with the dinosaurs.
There were even exhibits of creatures underwater. Here's a creature that looks familiar...
It was a lot of fun. When you guys come visit, we'll have to take you there.
This past weekend there was also a flash flood in Vegas. We just happened to be out and about when it hit. At one point the water was up to our car's headlights. It was a little scary. Thankfully we made it home safe and sound, however...
When we got home we found this in front of our apartment building. That's right, there is part of our roof. Thank goodness our entire roof didn't come off!
