Emme's Favorite Things

Emme is discovering the world around her more and more everyday! She has a few things she really enjoys--
She found her toes and she loves them!!


She likes when Owen plays with her and gives her kisses.

She likes to be on her tummy and chew on her toys (well, she likes it for a little while-then she gets frustrated when she can't figure out how to get back over!)

Owen's Field Trip

Owen's preschool class had a field trip to the Cabrillo Museum. Families were invited to come and Scott happened to have that day off from work so...we all went!! We saw all the exhibits, bought some cute little things from the gift shop, had lunch with his class and walked down to the tide pools-Owen had a great time!

Owen and one of his best buddies, Jesse.

Checking out the sharks!!

AHHHH!!!!

Old Town Sacramento and the Jelly Belly Factory

We spent one morning walking around Old Town Sacramento looking in all the fun shops! This is a place we are going to have to explore more when we are back in a few weeks.

Emme loves to give kisses and decided to give one to Grandma!!

Owen checking out the paddle boats on the river!

Jelly Belly Factory!!!

Emme was so tired by the time we made it to the Jelly Belly Factory...

...but Owen made sure she was awake for the tour! (You aren't allowed to take pictures on the tour, or we would have some to show you how excited Owen was-it was adorable)

Owen had a great time on this trip, but one of his favorite parts was when we would pull the car over to let him stretch his legs and he and Daddy would throw rocks into the fields--silly boys!

Sacramento

My cousin Hilary got married in the Sacramento temple last weekend and we decided to drive up. It's always so nice to be present for a temple wedding and it was great to see family that we don't get to see all that often! My uncle and aunt (Rob & Karen) live in Kentucky, and my grandparents and parents live in Oregon and we don't visit as often as any of us would like. It was a really fun weekend and I am so glad we had the opportunity to go!

Owen loves taking pictures and walked around with his camera and took pictures of everything--until his camera died!

Aunt Kylee also came down and Owen and Emme were so happy to see her!

Grandpa Stewart with Emme. (There aren't too many pictures with Owen because he wouldn't hold still long enough to take one!)

Rob, Scott and Grandpa Cox

Great Grandpa and Owen are buddies

Great Grandma Cox and Emme.

Point Vicente

The weather was so great a couple of Saturdays ago, we took a drive up to Palos Verdes to show Owen the Point Vicente lighthouse. We stopped at 7-11 and got slurpees then walked around. We walked through the cute little museum and Owen chased some lizards that he found out in the brush. Just another beautiful SoCal day!

Owen decided that this sign did not apply him--we kept having to pull him off the rail!

A flower for me!!

The view was best sitting on daddy's shoulders--

What a fun day!!

Emme and the Bunny

I found this super cute picture of Emme and our Easter Bunny decoration; the bunny is taller than she is!!
