Window Watching

One of Emerson's new favorite pass times is to watch the birds and cars out the window. It is the first thing that he does when he wakes up and he does it frequently through out the day.

Today, however, it was for a different reason that he was watching out the window. The Hillsboro Air Show is going on today and when the planes fly any where near, they totally shake our house. Emerson just had to know what was going on, so we went to the window and looked for all the planes. He did see a couple of them and he thought that it was awesome. We might just have to go up closer to the airport for tomorrow's show, so he can see all the planes. He would LOVE that.

Camp Fires and Ocean Water

Last weekend, we went on out Ward Campout at the Beach. It was a lot of fun. It was Emerson's first time camping and going to the beach. Needless to say he had a BLAST! I have never seen that child as dirty as I saw him this weekend. It was terribly disgusting.
He thought that it would be fun to lick the dirt...

I don't think that he liked it.

He loved the beach until the cold Oregon Coast waters hit his little feet. Then he was plenty happy playing just in the sand.

We can't wait for the next camp out and our next outing to the beach.

Nusery Time!

Today was Emerson's first official day of Nursery. He did great! He did not care that Jason nor I was there with him. In fact he couldn't get away from us quick enough.

Right after sacrament meeting, Emerson disappeared. Jason and I started to look for him in all his usual spots, but he wasn't anywhere to be found. So we started looking in classrooms to see if he followed some kid into their class. We, then, got to the door of what is to be his nursery and there he was standing in there, already playing. We asked the teacher if he let him in and he told us that Emerson was all alone in there when he got there. Who knows how he got into the room and how he knew that was were he was supposed to be. He is just too smart!

Heather's Baby Shower

I helped throw my friend, Heather, a baby shower last night. It was a lot of fun to throw. I think that it turned out to be a lot of fun, and the food was AWESOME!

Congrats Heather! Adelyn is adoreable!

Bubbles

Before dinner last night, we went out and blew some bubbles. Emerson LOVED LOVED LOVED it. He chased them all around. He even tried to blow some of his own (that concept ws a little over him though). It is amazing how such a simple things as bubbles makes a child so happy. We might have to make this a weekly tradition...until the weather doesn't allow it anymore.

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.)
