The Dread Pirate Emma

Emma, acting like a real pirate and giving her best Arrrrrrrrgghhh! Thanks Mom for this adorable pirate outfit! She just loves it and it matches all of her little accessories, go figure! (that never happens) We have one very happy little pirate on our hands. She cracks me up with all this pirate business, but what are ya going to do? Definitely not what I would have expected from a little girl who loves pink and all things cute!

Pirate Island and Our Little Pirate

Emma with all her loot!

Playing with the coins they give you for the arcade.

Look at the cute shirt Grandma Hofmann sent in the mail, so fun! The waitress even commented on it. Emma just loves pirates, and she loves Pirate Island! We went again just the other day for lunch and she was very excited to see some pirates. I ended up buying a really cute pirate bow in the gift shop as you leave the restaurant. Luckily it matches a shirt we just bought from Target...she makes a very cute little pirate!

it looks like he's making a judgment call

Cheesers

He makes it look easy, this might be the only time he went down on his bum. This guys a face firster!

Ashley, Heidi and I decided to take the littles on a play date. They had so much fun at the park. I had never been before... man, what a place for little kids! Emma loved the swing, but just hanging out with the cousins was great! Family is the best!! And I'll just add, what cute little kids, too! :)

Pirate Day!

Spencer, Captain Jack Sparrow, Emma

Captain Jack Sparrow, friend, Jonathon, Jonah My neighbor invited us to come over to their Pirate Party on Saturday, during the BYU football game. They had rented the Pirate ship that usually sits in front of Pirate Island, and had it sitting in front of the house. (pretty cool!!) We went over during half time and Captain Jack Sparrow was there! Emma was so excited, she wanted to have her picture taken with him. (It amazes me that after a trip to Disneyland, she would love pirates so much that she would want to have her picture taken with one.) I have to admit that the guy in costume was pretty darn good at being Johnny Depp, he had him pegged. The Hickman's are amazing people...she painted the mural behind them in the picture for the photo op, and she had a treasure chest full of toys and candy for the kids to pick from. She went all out, and it was a lot of fun! I found a new holiday to enjoy, I love Pirate Day!!

Dacia's Baby Shower!

So, I really hope Dacia doesn't mind that I'm posting these...but Mom really wanted to see them!

Cute little girl clothes! We love them all!

A diaper bag made from love, I"m just amazed it turned out so well!

Sweet Dacia with a cute tummy!

The beautiful spread my awesome family helped to create...you are all wonderful!!

My first diaper cake attempt... not too bad.

My little miss in her two seconds of calm during the shower.

The cutest, fuzziest thing I think I've ever seen!!

These cupcakes were so adorable we didn't want to eat them...almost, lol! But somehow they disappeared all the same! These came from Dippidies in American Fork, they do great work!

Cute Aunt Cly with her good friend Shelley.

Flour Massacre

As if I needed any further proof of how distracted we've all been these past few days... For some reason she thinks this is the most hilarious thing ever. I've come to learn that if i can't hear her and she doesn't answer immediately, she's in the flour. I'd move it but there isn't anywhere safe for it to hide. There is currently a fastener tied around the knobs. My little white Aborigine.

I know, I know...you are all probably in shock that I'm updating the blog! It's been a while and I feel awful for neglecting it, so I'll earnestly try to keep up on it. I'll be posting the pictures of our summer vacation soon, but...there are a lot and it's going to take some time. Hope you enjoy the few new postings.
