It Means No Worries....

Out of nowhere, Emma starting reciting songs and lines from the Lion King. Right now it's her favorite movie. Except she thinks that she is Scar, the mean lion. The video is a little over a minute long and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

We Have a New Pool

It's not a huge pool but, Emma just loves it and that's all that matters. She went from being petrified of water to this. She just loves it and we love watching her in it.

AHH!!! The Joys of Summertime

Emma just loves the summertime. One of her favorite things to do is play in the backyard, one of the things she wasn't able to do last year. We moved in October of 2007 and in the "old" house, we didn't have much of a back yard. At the "new" house, there is plenty for Emma to do. She just loves the little turtle sandbox, sprinkler and playing in the pool. We just received yesterday, a new and improved inflatable pool. 120 x 72 x 22. Just perfect for the three of us or anyone else that wants to join in on the fun. Here are some pictures of Emma enjoying the summertime. I'll post pictures of the new pool in a few days.

One little side note, I have no idea what I'm doing blogging so, the picture placement will have to do for now.

Blueberry Picking July 5, 2008

Every year before we adopted Emma, Kevin and I have gone blueberry picking. This year with Emma being three years old, we thought it was time that she experience the piece and quiet (except for the blueberries hitting the bottom of your bucket) that blueberry picking has to offer.

Off we went on July 5. It was a pretty hot day. All I can say is Emma is a pro. She loved every minute of it. From the tractor trailer out to the field to the picking, to the washing of the hands with the old fashioned water pump.

If you ask Emma today how you pick blueberries, she'll say "Pick one off the bush, put it in the bucket, pick one off the bush and eat it, pick one off the bush, put it in the bucket, pick one off the bush and eat it". She did do exactly that.

All in all, we picked 13 pounds in 1.5 hours. Not too shabby!! We probably picked 15 pounds but between what Kevin and Emma ate, we only ended up with 13 pounds.
