Kissing Prayer

Last night during our dinner prayer, I was holding Emerson and Jason was saying the prayer. In the middle of it, Emerson decided that he wanted to kiss, so he starts kissing the air. Then all of the sudden he kissed me, then again, theen again. I started laughing because it was too cute, all while Jason is still praying. Then Emerson went over to Jason and kissed him too. It was so adoreable. I love that Emerson is kissing now. There is nothing better than a Emerson kiss.

Portland Children's Museum

One of my college roommates, Amanda, came into town this week. So we decided that we needed to get together at least once while she was here. We decided that the best place for us to go was the Children's Museum, so the kids can play while we caught up. It was a lot of fun. Emerson just LOVED being able to play and run wild. We ended up getting a membership, so Emerson can go play all the time.

Emerson in Depoe Bay

My parents and Olivia came in town this week. So, we went and stayed out on the Pacific coast for a few days. It was a lot of fun. Nice and relaxing. This is the first time that we took Emerson to the coast. He loved it. He loved going out on the deck and playing. He loved pointing at the huge waves that came crashing on the rocks right out side or room. I am sure that if he was pacient enough he would have loved seeing the whale that basically lived right outside the whole time we were there. It was a fun first time to the coast for Emerson.

I don't know how, but I didn't get any pictures of my mom or dad this whole trip. That made me sad. I will just have to make sure that I get some next time I see them.

Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day, Jason!

Thanks for being a great father! We love you!!!

(Jason got the matching shirts and ties for Father's Day. I love when they match.)

Zoo Time

Emerson loves animals, so we decided to take him to the zoo to see them. He had the time of his life there. He "ooo"ed at so many different animals. We went to a bird show and he loved watching the birds. But his favorite thing by far was climbing on the stone animals.

Feeding Himself

I let Emerson feed himself with a spoon for the first time today. He loved it, but he most definately needed a bath afterward.

P365 All Caught Up

I am finally all caught up on uploading my Project 365 pictures. You can see what I have been up to over at my other blog: http://www.jessicabills365.blogspot.com/. I can't believe that I am already 200 days into it! I love having so many memories documented.

Now to get working on getting this blog up to date!

Cruising Alaska: Day 8 Seattle

We make it back to Seattle early in the morning on day 8. We ate breakfast, got off the boat and headed home to see Emerson. It was such a relaxing fun vacation. I loved Alaska. It is so beautiful. I would love to make it back there someday and maybe to a different part. It is such a HUGE state, so much more to see.

Cruising Alaska: Day 7 Victoria BC Canada

On day 7, we went to our last Port: Victoria, Canada. It is so beautiful there.

While in Victoria, we went to the butterfly gardens. They were really cool. They had some really cool butterflies there and some other fun animals.

After the Butterflies, we went to Butchard Gardens. They were so pretty.

After getting back on the ship, we watched the movie Seven Pounds. That was really good. It was really slow, but good.

At dinner tonight, all the cooks and waiters sang us a song. That was pretty fun.

Tonight, we had to get everything ready to go. Then, we went to one final night of Derek's Kamakazi Karaoke. It was a really fun ending to the cruise.

Cruising Alaska: Day 6 At Sea

Today we took it quite easy. We slept in and then just hung around on deck. We played some trivia and ate quite well. It was a lazy but VERY relaxing day.

We went to a "Love and Marriage" game show this evening that was really funny. It was just like the newly wed show but with three couples in different stages of their marriages. I was really cute.
