Winnie the Pooh

This weekend we took Emily down to Springfield to see Disney Live-Winnie the Pooh.

She was so excited that she didn't take a nap all day. We were a little worried as to what the night would bring with no nap :)
She was pretty unsure at the beginning and true to her style, she just sat back and soaked it all in.

But by intermission, she was bouncing with Tigger, singing the Pooh song, and having a great time!!

We didn't get too many good pictures, but there's a couple below we thought you might enjoy.

Halloween 2008

Halloween was sure a lot of fun this year..and a lot of work :) We went over to our friend's Tami and Mike's house. Their daughter is about the same age as Emily. The duo dressed up as Pebbles and Bam-Bam. However, most people thought they were Tarzan and Jane! Whatever people thought, they sure were cute! And this is probably the only Halloween they could have pulled these outfits off. (Thanks grandma Shirley)

You had to know that Emily could never forget Elmo on Halloween :)

Don't they look so sweet??? (Pooh is the girls' friend Jack)

Emily caught on pretty quick to understanding that walking to the door meant getting some candy in her Elmo :)

But riding and eating was lots of fun too :)

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!!

Lovin' Elmo!!

Just a quick post tonight. Emily recently got some new Elmo pajamas. In case you have not seen Em lately she is completely obsessed with Elmo. If I had a dollar for everytime she said his name in the day, I could retire and move to the islands :) So, as you can see, she was truly delighted with her new pajamas!!

The Pumpkin Patch

Last weekend we visited the Pumpkin Patch down by Arthur, IL with grandma and papa rogers.

It was a a gorgeous day and we had a lot of fun!

Emily didn't have any trouble picking out a pumpkin!

She jumped right in the wagon with it and that was fun.....

for about 2 minutes, then she quickly discovered it was more fun to pull the wagon then to ride in it!

She made a friend as she went through the maze.

Before we left we had to see how she measured up!
Can't wait to see how big she grows next year :)

Yes, Emily can dress herself....

.....well, sort of. Her newest thing in the mornings when we are getting ready for work is to grab anything of Chad's that she can get her hands on and try to put them on herself :)

I guess she doesn't think it's enough to look exactly like her daddy, she has to dress like him too!

On the morning of this picture, it was boxers, socks and shoes!

Looking good em!

The Circus

A couple of weeks ago Emily took her first trip to the circus. We went with our friends Tami and Mike and their daughter Emmalee. Miss Em is obsessed with being with Emma...with just the mention of her name she goes into the non-stop, over and over request to see her!

This first picture is Emily being so patient waiting for Emma to get to our house.

First stop concessions and toys!

I think the girls had the most fun eating and climbing around in the seats!

Daddy-switch-a-roo!!

Kristy and Adam's visit

Emily definitely enjoyed her visit with the Big Guy and Kristy this past weekend. They were fresh off of the Illinois game, so had orange and blue pom poms for Miss Em. She was in her Illinois outfit and ready for the cheerleading lessons that Adam was giving her! We did a lot of playing outside. We topped off the weekend with a trip to the park and of course a meal at Schooners! Here's some pictures from our fun adventures.

Thanks for visiting Kristy and Adam! Hope to see you again real soon!
