My Very Best Friend

While cleaning Emma decided to have a tea party with her very best friend Walle!  Definitely one of my top favorite moments of Emma!

 

Halloween

For Halloween Emma's Grandma K picked out an adorable elephant costume!  We went to our church Harvest Festival the weekend before Halloween for some fun, games, and lots of candy!

I've been one busy girl, thought I should take a break!

 On Halloween mommy and Grandma took Emma trick or treating.  Our first stop was Lainey's house.  We took some photos and off we went!

All ready for trick or treating!

What do I do mommy?

So, I knock on the door and they give me candy?  AWESOME!!!

Pumpkin Patch



After Emma and I got home from California we took a family trip to the pumpkin patch in Spokane!  We met up with our friends Kylan, Kristen and Lainey for some warm drinks and then went on our way to find the perfect pumpkins.  This trip to the pumpkin patch was a little more familiar since it was extremely cold!

Our trip to California



Emma and I took some time off from our life in Pullman to visit our very dear friends Eric, Molly, Micah and Baby Riley!  Emma was very excited to see Micah and to meet his baby brother Riley.  

 



So excited to see Micah!!!

 Emma and Micah were very busy toddlers during our visit.  These two managed to stay out of trouble most of the time, however they did get into some mischief drawing all over the couch and walls with crayons. 

Reading with Micah!



Drawing with chalk!

We also managed to make it to the pumpkin patch during our visit.  I have to say I have never been to a pumpkin patch when the sun is shining and it is 70 degrees outside.  It was a nice change!

The final product! Doesn't she make a very cute cat?

Saying goodbye to Fresno, California!


We had lots of fun visiting our friends and look forward to our next visit with them.  Thank you for such a wonderful and relaxing time!  We miss you lots!

Long Beach, WA

Labor Day weekend Kent, Emma and I went camping with my family in Long Beach, WA.  It was an extremely long road trip for Emma and I, but we made it and had lots of fun visiting the beach and family.  I wish we could have brought the ocean and beach back to Pullman since Emma loves the beach so much.  I am pretty sure she could live in the sand forever.  While at the beach Emma made a new friend, flew her first kite (which happened to have a black and white cat on it, which looked exactly like Walle), she ate lots of watermelon, and almost got taken out by the waves. 



Emma's new friend she met at the beach!

Writing in the sand!

YEAHHHH for watermelon!

YUMMMY!!!

She loves her some watermelon!

The s'more didn't quite make it all the way in her mouth!

Mmmmmmmm!

Adventures with Family and Friends

So, our visit with family and friends comes to an end.  Since we did so much I decided to post our last few adventures in one blog post.  We had lots of fun with our family and friends and look forward to our next visit.

 

 Tacoma Children's Museum:  My mom, Emma and I had tons of fun at the Tacoma Children's Museum with one of my best friends Lindsey, her mom Lori, and of course her two very handsome boys John and Peter.

Scenic Beach State Park:  After so much fun at home we need to spend some time relaxing during our visit.  Another best friend of mine Alyssa came over and we relaxed at the beach.

Pool Time:  Since we live so far away we do not get to spend very much time at Kent's grandparents house hanging out by the pool.  So, luckily this trip we met Papa and Grandma at the pool and had lots of fun playing with the cousins, eating popsicles, and splashing with Papa and Grandma.
