Old McDonald

Emily and I were watching You Tube videos this AM and this one almost put me into a seizure. Scary techno version, watch at your own risk.

White Elephant

Another banner year for the white elephant party. I got a Bump It, so exciting.

Dave's Christmas Party

Another terrible family photo for the books. Emily was petrified of Santa.

Vineyard Video

Molbak's Photoshoot

In theory, dressing up Emily and taking her to Molbak's to get some Holiday pictures was a good idea. She really loved to ride around in the stroller and look at everything, the water fountains and trees. We had quite a few apple samples. Things were going well until the shoot took her out of the stroller and unleashed her upon the store and all of its wares. It was a total disaster.

So innocent, smelling the flowers.



Emily standing on the concrete bench. I thought she wouldn't fall off, I was wrong: head meet concrete. After a good cry and another apple sample, we were back in business.

Rearranging the stuffed animal display.

Hugging the horse. This one is my favorite.

Knocking over the reindeer.



More refusing to look at the camera and rearranging of the animals.

Spider Dance

Emily dancing to her favorite song. She can sort of do the hand motions for it. She also kisses Jasmine and then chases her. Then she chokes on some water at the end. Its a very strange video, but it sums up our night time rituals.



Also here are some bonus bath time shots. She is so skinny all her pants fall off.

Thanksgiving Hats

Mimi bought us some cute hats, we took turns trying them on.

Halloween

Emily really like Halloween this year. She liked her costume and asked to wear it again the next day. She called it her coat. She tried to feed it Chinese food on Friday night so it was a little dirty, but I wiped it off in time to go to Lucy and Sullivan's party.

Emily didn't know about the pinata, but did eventually hit it a couple of times.

Lucy hitting the pinata.

Sullivan and his dad Doug. Sullivan was a guitar.

Emily and "Super Buster" His cape was on backwards.

This guy was at the party.

Homecoming

Husky Homecoming. Gas Works in the background. Great to see everyone.

Singing

I caught Emily watching one of her shows and singing along to "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star". She saw me doing the camera and then turned it into a song about "Ja-Ja" her dog Jasmine.

Then Jasmine ran and tried to hide in the couch. But Emily found her and then had to tuck her in.

Jasmine tucked in.

Emily looking really tall.

Having a tickle fight with Mom is a no-win situation.

Emily at home

It is getting increasingly harder to take photos of Emily because she refuses to sit still. Here are some from around the house.

Emily took this one of her babies.

Finger puppet.

Spokane Trip

Emily and the rest of us went for a visit in Spokane to see Grandma and Grandpa.

Here Emily is on the big slide with Daddy.

Swinging at the park.

Playing with peas at Green Bluff.

Pumpkin Patch

Emily, Mimi and I went to the Pumpkin Patch to get Emily out of the house for a while. We've all been sick for a few weeks now, it was a nice day and it was great to get some fresh air.

Emily tried to make a break for it by running into the corn maze.

She had to slap the pumpkins and then sit on them.

Riding in the wheelbarrow.

Action shot in the field.

Alpaca. I am sucker for animals who are showing teeth.

Emily, Photographer at Large

Emily's favorite word is MINE right now. She wanted to take some pictures with HER camera, here's some of the keepers.


Look at the lovely foot and ankle, poor thing's inherited her Mother's ankles.



Here is Mom in the AM with glasses on, scary.



Her favorite muse, Jasmine.

Halloween

Apparently the cat is ready.

Work Visit

Emily visited Daddy's work today, I had an appointment and he took over. I caught this cute one with my cell phone.

Carnival for a Cause

Saturday as the Huskies were losing to Notre Dame, we drug ourselves out of the house for a little carnival. It was to raise money for SIDS, a friend of ours family member lost a child recently. Emily had a blast wearing her Halloween costume.

Here she invaded the beer/wine garden.

Looking for Daddy, he was in the car listening to the football game.

Full costume.

Emily and I doing the cake walk. She wasn't cooperating and it was quickly time to leave.

I thought you were watching her...

After dinner Dave goes in and starts Emily's bath every night.  I thought he was watching her, he thought I was watching her and then this happened.
