Go Fish!
We had a full day today. Emily and I started the morning by getting some doughnuts (Emily's request.) After breakfast we decided to go out and run some errands. Emily got to go to a kids only salon and get her hair cut. We got three inches chopped off. I forgot my camera, but decided it wasn't that big of deal because this is like her fifth hair cut. Don't know why but I started crying (LOL)! I think it was because it seemed like we were cutting a lot of hair off at the time. How silly, hair grows back! Emily got to sit in this really cool fire engine while getting her beautification treatment! After lunch she took a nap and I decided it was a good time to run to Walmart. Dad was home and if you have any young children whatsoever you know that it becomes a chore going to Walmart with them. I saw the "Going Fishing" game and remembered it from when I was little. I thought how perfect it would be for Emily and decided to purchase it. (The age started at 3 and Emily is pretty smart so I thought No big Deal!) How much it has changed from when I was little. I remember the fish to be cute with almost smiles on their faces. These fish had Teeth! Crazy sharp ones! You had to catch them basically by their teeth instead of with a magnet like when I was little. I haven't even mentioned the fact that the fish swim around the circle at about 50 MPH! So we had a little trouble at first (Emily, Andy AND I). Emily being the smart girl that she is decided she would shove the pole in their mouth and fling them out across the room! Not what the directions said but still, very funny! Anyways- what a day! Attached you will find a picture of a lonely fish on a pole, placed there, not caught, but who's keeping track??

Swimmy Emmy
Emily and I went to the swimming pool today. She is quite fearless. She can hold her breath and gets in the water up to her chin. She is a natural swimmer. I love the summer time!
Rules for Family Pictures!
Okay- I know that anyone with kids knows how horribly difficult it is to get a child ready for pictures. If it can go wrong it will. I haven't figured out yet that I need to start about 45 minutes before I really think I should start. It also hadn't dawned on me that they shouldn't wear the outfit that they are going to get their picture in to the studio! You would think that I would have learned this after two and a half years, but no, I guess I am a slow learner. As Emily and I were driving just a few minutes over the speed limit,(we were late as usual,) she spilled a whole cup of water down the front of her dress. I guess that is probably one of the golden rules as well. Don't give your child any liquids or food before pictures. Oh, well! As the photographer was making funny faces and putting on a show for Emily, she frowned and made some pretty nasty faces. Toddlers are way too smart to fall for that smiling trick! Well at least we got one decent picture of Emily and I that we could give to Andy for Father's Day. I am posting a couple of pictures of Emily while we waited for our pictures. I will try to post the "real" pictures later.

Emmy and Sally
Emmy is a good little mommy to her baby. Sally is a lot of work, but Emily seems to be a natural. It is so cute to see her with her little mommy skills. She will be such a good big sister some day...

Emily and Andy had the honor of being a part of Isaac and Tera's big day! Andy was his brother's best man and Emily was the adorable flower girl. Needless to say the couple looked awesome, but I thought Andy and Emily looked pretty good themselves!! Andy gave the toast, which was incredible sweet and Emily feel asleep as soon as we arrived at the reception. She just needed a quick power nap and was rocking the dance floor in no time!
