Random July Pics

Jager came to visit. He and Emma visited Bear in her "ward" while she was recovering from her surgery.
I don't remember what she had done this day but Emma was very tired.
What you can't see in this picture is the ice on Daddy's knees. He and Mommy had just finished pushing Emma in the stroller for 10 miles.
Mommy's very tired.
And introducing hte newest members of our family, Jasper and Minx. Before youcomment on not being able to see them both, try to imagine photographing 2 ferrets at the same time. It doesn't work!

One more ice cream trip

And finally, it became somewhat of a short tradition to go for ice cream while Grandma and Cody were here. Mommy's looking a little guilty for giving Emma more ice cream. But it IS a special occasion.
After ice cream Emma and Cody went to look at the fountain.
Look Mommy! Look Daddy! Look Grandma! I'm really tall!!!!
Bye Bye Grandma and Cody. We'll miss you!

Dinner

For Grandma and Cody's last night in town we went out to eat. This is Emma's "Can't hardly stand it I'm so excited" smile.
Emma loves her crayons and Mommy loves that they keep her occupied while waiting for our food.
But if the crayons fail, Cody is always there to entertain Emma!
Grandma helped Emma color her menu.

Picnic Time

After our hike, Emma found a great picnic spot. C'mon guys!!!!
Grandma tried to put Emma's food in a bowl but Emma insisted that the table was a fine surface to eat from.
Cutie.
The girl loves to eat, especially with Grandma!

Paris Mountain

On Tuesday we went to Paris Mountain for a short hike.
For being carried, Emma sure was tired!

Photo op at a dam along the way.

Trip to the zoo

Emma really did fall in love with her big cousin. If he wasn't near her, Emma would keep saying "Cody! Hand!" until he came to hold her hand.
One day, while Mommy was at work, Grandma, Cody, and Daddy took Emma to the zoo.
Emma had fun riding the lion.
This is lots of fun but I think I'm getting hungry.
Yay! Thanks, Grandma!!!!

Grandma!!!

This July, Grandma and Cody came to visit! We all went to Falls Park to walk around a bit. Mommy told Daddy to smile for this picture because he never smiles for the camera. I don't think it's sincere!Emma was very excited to show Grandma the sights.

And no sooner had Mommy explained to Grandma that Emma has to wear a leash because she won't hold anyone's hand did Emm grab hold of Cody's!
We took a break at Marble Slab Creamery and Emma got to have a rare ice cream treat. She was very happy.
That's Mommy, Grandma, and Emma up there.
