Our darling girl!

For those of you who don't know, we are currently in Utah for the summer. Andrew is doing an internship at a pharmacy here. We have loved our time here visiting family and friends (and enjoying an air conditioned home)! Emma is 5 months now and is learning and growing SO much! She can roll over all by herself, eat her feet, and babble with the best of them. She is getting ready to eat food soon! We love her SO much! Being a parent is GREAT! These pictures are in kind of a random order from the time she was about 2 months until now.

This is Emma with Andrew's Dad (aka Gramps)

This picture is Emma with Andrew's Mom. You can see her hair sticking up. We did not do this to her hair, she woke up like this. She has Andrew's cowlick.

Emma 'eating' a Snickers (she loves them just like her Mom)

On the 24th of July (Utah's Pioneer Day) we went with Andrew's family to the parade in Salt Lake City. It is a big deal here in Utah, but I had never been, so we decided to go. Usually the prophet rides in it, but this year it was President Eyring and his wife. Who can complain?! It was really special to be so close to President Eyring. Notice all the body guards!

Here is another picture from the Parade. Emma is asleep in Andrew's arms (obviously). We paid to get bleacher seats, which were really nice and shaded most of the time. We got to be in the front row thanks to Andrew's Dad who went up to Salt Lake super early to get good seats!

This is a close up of Emma that shows her big blue eyes.

Andrew reading to Emma, although she seemed more interested in eating the book than reading it.

This was taken on Andrew's b-day. Emma was mesmerized by the candles on his cake. I love the look on her face in this picture!

Another picture of Emma's cowlick.

We blessed Emma here in Utah so our families could be a part of it. This is Andrew and Emma on the couch after the baby blessing! The blessing was amazing! We are so happy Emma is a part of our family!

This is Emma and me on the couch after the blessing. Andrew's Mom got the bow for Emma that is in her hair. It is so pretty!

On the 4th of July we went with Andrew's family to Cascade Springs (you drive through Sundance to get there). It was beautiful. This is our little family there.

This is Emma and me getting ready for go exploring at Cascade Springs.

This is Emma on her blessing day (July 5th). This is the beautiful dress that she wore. It cost $9. Thanks to the Averys who told us about the great deal! Doesn't Emma look beautiful!!

Andrew's sister, Stacia, came with her family to Utah from Houston to visit for a couple of weeks. While she was here we went to the Oquirrh Mountain Temple Open House. It was absoultely beautiful! This is Andrew and Emma walking up to the temple.

This is Emma with her cousin that was born only 2 1/2 weeks before Emma. It is hard to tell from their sizes that they are that close in age! By the way, we did not pose them in this postition for the picture, they did it themselves!

This is Andrew and Emma. This was taken in Portland in the back of the Pittock Mansion.

This was also taken in back of the Pittock Mansion. If you look in the background you can see Mount Hood and a fabulous view of Portland.

This is one of favorite pictures of Emma, taken on the 4th of July. Is that not the most beautiful baby you have ever seen?! SO cute!

This is Emma and me in a forest near the Pittock Mansion.

This is Emma looking so precious as she sleeps!

This is a cute picture of Andrew and Emma! She LOVES her Dad!

This is Andrew and Emma on a hike on the way to Munson Creek Falls, near Tillamook Oregon.

This is a picture of Emma and I at the begining of the trail to Munson Creek Falls, which was beautiful! It is so green everywhere!

This is a picture taken of Emma when she was about 2 months old.

This was taken of Emma at the Tillamook Cheese factory in Oregon. What a face!
