So we have officially been in California now for a year. Emry is almost 21 months now) and changing so much. She is talking like crazy now and not a little baby anymore. Well she will always be my baby of course! We are loving San Diego, there is so much to do here and we have had a lot of fun, but of course still miss Hawaii. Here are a few recent pics of Emry. We love her so much!

So I have been extremely lazy with blogging. It just feels like there is so much going on or I am to busy catching up with everyone else blogs I don't have time to do my own. It has been so long since I last blogged and there is so much to catch up on I just don't do it. So instead I am writing this short lame post to let you all know I am still alive and reading your blogs at least. I will post up some new pictures and let you all know what we've been up to once I get home from my trip to my Dad's.

Today was Emry's 1st birthday party. She doesn't turn one until Monday, but we had my mom fly in and my sister her kiddles and our sister in Law Kelly and her kiddles and Aunt Lysa here this weekend. It was so much fun and crazy all at the same time. I am exhausted so will post more with pictures later, but I just can't believe our little girly in one year old. Time has gone by so fast and she has changed so much in one year it is amazing. She is everything to us and we love her so much and so lucky that we had family to celebrate her first birthday with us.

Pumpkin Hunting

It's OCTOBER!! Finally we are experiencing a change in temperature and season, hot chocolate, apple pies, holidays, it is very exciting! So we couldn't wait, the first weekend of this month we had to go pumpkin hunting. This is Emrys first Halloween and so we took her to her first pumpkin patch. We went to Bates Nut Farm. It was so much fun, they had a little farm with different animals and she loved looking at them all. She also loved all the pumpkins, and wanted to sit on them, hug them and eat the stems. It was so much fun to watch her. The size of these pumpkins were crazy though. Ezra ended up picking a pumpkin that was 123 pounds, (it is pretty awesome). We also got a couple of regular size pumpkins and Emry got a baby pumpkin which is the one she's hugging while she's sleeping. It was a great day and we can't wait for Halloween night! We haven't totally decided on her costume yet, she is going to either be a monkey (since she is our little monkey), or she is going to be Tinker Bell. Babies R Us also has a really cute pumpkin patch costume. We shall see, we will post pictures when we decide. LOVE MY FAMILY! We really had a great weekend

Missing Hawaii!

So I have to say first of all I am so glad that some of you guys have post in Hawaii. It is so good to see your familys growing up and getting to see what you guys are up to being so far away. BUT!! It really makes me miss Hawaii so much more to see everything you guys are doing and how pretty it is there. You really are so lucky to be in Hawaii and it be your home. I really am missing Hawaii A LOT and all the people. We are loving being close to family here and getting to experience something new. There is so much to do in San Diego and I just need to get out and start exploring San Diego more I know!! But I don't know if there is any place like Hawaii. We miss EVERYONE and the Islands!!

8 Months!

Emry- We have no idea were the last 8 months have gone. Everything has been such an adventure and you are changing so much so quickly. You will be 8 months tomorrow, and you are growing so fast. Mommy and Daddy love you so much and we are so lucky you are in our lives. You make us smile and laugh everyday with all the cute little things that you do. Life is so complete with you in our lives and we are so thankful for you everyday! We love every tear, dirty diaper, giggle, smile, squeak, pinch, leg kick, snuggle, and face you make. Some of the things you are doing now: You are starting to finally crawl, well it's more like a scoot on your face, but it is an attempt to get somewhere with out any help! You love to wave quite a bit, even at people when they're not looking. Your favorite foods so far are carrots, green beans, peas, pears, bananas, and blueberries. You've also started to eat Gerber Puffs, which you absolutely love because you can feed then to yourself. You are very curious about the world around you and such a lookie Lou still. You love to watch everyone who walks by you with such intent like you are determined to figure out what they are doing, where they are going and how they can walk on those two things (legs)! You love love bath time still, and would probably stay in there all day if you could. You still only have two teeth which I you've had since 5 months old. You love to read books especially the ones that you can feel whats on the page. You are figuring out how to pick things up with your pointer finger and thumb and it is very cute. You love to talk and make sounds that are very sweet. You have said mama and dada but not intentionally! You love to snuggle when you're tired, and in bed in the morning with mommy, and you always like to be held. You are so sweet, and such a beautiful little girl. You are independent but love to have everyone around you. People always compliment you on your beautiful blue eyes, and that they think you are such a good baby. You are very easy going, and calm. You don't fuss much, really only when you are tired, and sometimes when you're hungry. You really are such a good baby. You have your stinker moments, but they are far and few in between! You are a perfect mix of me and your daddy, in personality, but you definitely look like your daddy. We hear it all the time! We are so excited to see what the rest of the year brings us, and all the things you will be doing by 12 months. You are an amazing, beautiful, sweet, loving, precious little angel. WE LOVE YOU VERY MUCH!! Happy 8 month B-Day!
