A Trip to see RaRa!

We finally made it up to Everett to see Rara (it has been WAY to long) and Emmett was very happy to see his Great Grandma.

First, Rara and Emmett had a little snuggle.

Then we received a very sweet gift from Julia.  He will have to grow into it but there is no doubt that Emmett is a true Sounders fan. 

Next, Emmett showed off his new tricks and Rara enjoyed watching him play.

Last, we busted Ryan for taking a nap (he swears it is the chairs fault).

Laughing!

Emmett laughed for the first time with his Buddha (my dad) about a month ago.  He often laughs for me but today he laughed for the first time with Ryan.  This may be my favorite Emmett moment to date. I am so thrilled that I was able to grab the Flip and catch this precious moment. I hope all my blog readers enjoy it as much as I do. I have watched the video countless times and it still makes me smile.

OshKosh B'Gosh, this baby is cute!

When I grow up I want to be just like my daddy!

Playing...

The theory behind putting Emmett in his crib to play was so I could fold some laundry and tidy up the nursery...this theory did not work out so well. Instead of folding and cleaning, I took pictures and then played with him. 

Hmmmm...is it any wonder my house is a mess?

Panthers and the lake!

Some of my co-workers and their kiddos headed down to my parents lake house for some fun in the sun. There were lots kids and babies there and everyone had a great time.

 

Another day at the lake...sometime in July.

The most important picture of the day...

Ryan cut the watermelon open and this is what it looked like inside.

We were stuck inside for most of the day on this trip. The kids did not mind at all. Liam, Ellie, Josh and Emmett was quite content.  I think the older boys aka the dads, got a little restless.
