What a great summer we have had this year. A really hot one, but a great one nonetheless! This was the first summer that Emma learned how to swim - well, learned to tread water and float by herself. In the beginning of the summer, she wouldn't let go of Daddy or Mommy. For anything. We had to hold her the entire time we were in the pool. Now, she will get in and "swim" by herself. She has a blast

We've had a whirl wind of a summer so far. We've had 3 visitors, new classes and a TON of fun! At the beginning of the summer, we had our first visitor, Janice, aka, Nana. We had a blast! Then again, we always have a blast with Nana. She went to school with her, went to Little Gym with her and just basically hung out and got in some quality Nana-Time. I mentioned in an earlier post that I found

I am soooo behind in posting. Ugh. I have no excuse. Well, I do actually. Life has been really, really, really busy this summer. Work has been insane. So insane that by the time I get home, or get to a point when I'm not working, I'm so exhausted that the last thing I want to do is look at a computer. But I'm trying my best to get up to speed. I found a new, easy, way to post pics (look for that

Tuesday of this week, I was picking you up from school and we were on our way home and I had this overwhelming emotional feeling come over me. You were singing your new song that you learned at school (more to come on that in another post) and you were just so cute and lovable and I just wanted to eat you up. That feeling prompted me to post the following on Facebook for the entire world to know

You are beginning to learn the days of the week at school and your teachers have made up a song to help you remember it. I didn't know that this was happening until you started signing it in the car. It's the cutest thing ever! Without further ado, I give you The 7 Days of The Week. Sung by Emma Lynn Miguel

This year we went Mayfest to celebrate Mother's Day. Mayfest is sort of like an art and wine festival but also has a HUGE children's area where you could run around and play. You especially enjoyed this section. They had a ton of bounce houses and of course, you wanted to go on every single one. And, of course, we brought enough tickets to let you go on every single one. :) It was a bit hot for

First let me preface this by saying that I can't believe that I have a 2 1/2 year old who is ready to be moved into a toddler bed. Wasn't it just yesterday that I found out that I was pregnant and wasn't it just yesterday that you were born? I can't believe how fast time is flying! You are growing bigger by the minute so it was time that we put you in a toddler bed aka a BIG GIRL BED!

Ok - so Mommy is a little late posting this, oh well! This was the first year that you really "got" what you were supposed to do for Easter. You still didn't reallly understand it but you caught on quickly to the basics. Find eggs, open them and play/eat anything that was inside. We started the morning with your egg hunt. The Easter Bunny knew that we were going over to Chris and Cindy's for

What's that you say? You have a daughter who has greenish blue hands? How can that be?  Is it some rare disease?  Is your husband the Incredible Hulk? No. It's Easter Egg Dying Time! This was the first year that you were able to actually participate in the egg dying process and you loved every single minute of it. You weren't too concerned about keeping your hands clean or being

In the beginning of April (yes, Mommy is a little behind - I'm still catching up) we were invited to go to our very first Disney on Ice performance. We were invited by your Little Gym BFF Abby and her Mommy. Abby's mommy had free tickets so we thought, why not! This year's theme was Toy Story 3. You have not seen 1 or 2 at this point, but Mommy still thought you would enjoy the experience of

Every Spring, its a Texas Tradition to go and take pictures in the Bluebonnets. You normally see people stopping on the side of the freeway, shuffling their kids here and there, trying to snap that perfect photo. Not us sane California transplants. We have found the perfect little field that we go and frolic in. We meet Auntie V and Cousin Katherine and Matthew and the three of you just run

You are starting to be invited to more and more birthday parties. First one of the season was for Natalie. Mommy used to work with her Mommy and you two became fast friends. Natalie is 5 months older than you and this year, she had her party at Pump It Up, which you LOVED!At first you were scared of the place but once Mommy took you into one of the rooms, we couldn't get you out!

Mommy had found a new park that was down the street from us - a new hidden park! The park that we usually go to has become incredibly busy and you were having a hard time playing on anything because is was so busy. And there seemed to be a lot more older and bigger kids that were just not as gentle with you as Mommy would like. So, we went searching for a  new one. And what great success we

You are growing more and more with each passing day. Unfortunately, along with the growing you are having really uncomfortable growing pains.  So much so that they wake you up in the middle of the night. You will cry and cry because you are in so much pain. That is until Mommy or Daddy gives you some Motrin. Mostly Mommy because Daddy doesn't "have his eyes in" and can't see anything without

Took this a couple of weekends ago when you were playing your timber game with Daddy - You look so grown up here! Makes Mommy both sad and happy. Sad that you are growing up but happy that you are becoming your own person.  I love you Peanut.

You have really been advancing at Little Gym, improving more and more with each week that we attend. You are such a dare devil; jumping off of anything and everything! You can walk the high beam all by yourself with little assisance from Mommy. And your new favorite thing is to walk across the bars and then swing down. You will do that over and over again.

Your Auntie Kelly and Uncle Raymond sent you a package in the mail yesterday, the day before St. Patrick's Day. And what do you know? It was a cute green dress! You wore it today to school in honor of St. Patrick. You were the most adorable-green-wearing little girl I've ever laid my eyes on! And you were in the most fantastic moods this morning! You usually are in a really good mood but this

Your Uncle Brandon is getting married in September. Him and Auntie Shannon have asked you to be a flower girl in their wedding and Mommy is super stoked about that! You're too young right now to understand that but that means that you get to wear a super cute dress and walk down the aisle before Auntie Shannon and throw rose pedals down. We have finally found the dress that you will wear (along

You have found a new game to play with Daddy, where you sit on top of his head, we count to three and then as you fall to the pillows, we yell "TIMBER!!" You think that its the greatest thing in the world. And of course, you want to do it over and over and over again. This really excites Daddy. :)

Monday your school was closed for a teacher training/work day. Because Monday's are really busy and hectic for Mommy, Daddy took the day off from work to hang out with you. One of the things that you did was come visit Mommy at work. YAY for teacher work days. You got to see everyone that I work with and everyone really enjoyed seeing you! You walked up and down the hall saying "more people Mommy

I know I say this a lot, but Mommy is seriously the luckiest Mommy ever. You are the sweetest, kindest, most caring little girl I could ever had hoped for. You bring us so much joy. You always brighten up Mommy's world so much. Whenever she is having a bad day all she has to do is see a picture of you, think of you or come home to you screaming "Mommy's home!!!" and my worst days all of a sudden

You absolutely love Little Gym. Plain and simple. You love going and playing with Mr. Nick. And Mommy and Daddy love the interaction you have with him. You run to him to give him your very best hugs. We recently moved you up to the older class and it is SO much better for you. Its a smaller class with only about 7 kids in it. The other one had almost 15 kids in it and you sort of got lost in the

About a month ago, we, along with your teacher, Ms. Kelsea decided that it was time to start potty training you. Mommy went out and bought you a more little girl sized potty seat that fits right over "mommy and daddy's potty" so that it was a little less scary for you. You at first loved going to the potty and sitting on it. We would sing songs, read books, play little games. That last only a
