Camden finished off his 2nd year of fall soccer with his team the Goldstrikers!
They won a couple of games this season! Matt loved coaching the team and his assistant coach was another Matt. They had a good time!!
We took a trip to Arizona. We visited Grandma Vicky and Aunt Jenny. We swam every day, Emerson napped by the pool every day and....
we got to check out a new restaurant (new to us) called Joe's Farm Grill. It was featured on "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives" one of our favorite Food network shows. The food is almost all grown on a farm right there, what they don't grow, they buy locally. It was delicious!! If you're ever near Chandler, AZ, you should check it out!! We liked it so much that we had dinner there one night, and went back for lunch the next day!! My favorite was the Fontina Burger! they also had amazing onion rings!
The boys have gained a few new chores... including... bringing the garbage cans up from the cul-de-sac. They impress me...that's a long way to carry garbage cans, even if they're empty!
We decorated for our house with hand cut snowflakes...Emerson loved them!
Emerson and Stu are getting to know each other. So far, they seem to like each other :)
Hudson got a camera for Christmas and took some amazing pictures! He took this one on a walk around the neighborhood the day after Christmas. He loves taking pictures!
We visited Bellevue's Snowflake Lane. What a fun production!! This was our third year, we love this new tradition.
We rooted the Cougars on to Victo....oops, not a victory this year, but we still root for the Crimson and Gray!
Emerson is getting her first experience with Legos. We figured we'd start her early. She gets to chew on the big pieces and can't quite get to the smaller ones yet. I know, soon...she'll be crawling and life for all of us will change drastically!
Emerson is enthralled with people's faces. If you can't pick your brother's nose, whose nose can you pick??
We got a little bit farther in decorating the nursery. We hung her initials on the wall and put up a couple of pics of Emerson with her adoring brothers.
Hudson loves to entertain Emerson. I loved walking in on this scene!
Emerson started eating solid foods. I've been told that when trying to feed a baby I tend to open my mouth... apparently the rumors are true! Emerson is enjoying yams and butternut squash so far. I love making her food for her!
This is one of Emerson's new poses. We call it "Covergirl" She cracks us up with her new moves every day!
Emerson is now 8 months old and can sit up all by herself!! She is trying and trying to crawl but thus far...has found herself scooching backwards much more efficiently than forwards and is able to get up on all fours, but can't quite crawl. I bet it will only be a few more days or weeks and she'll be mobil! YIKES!
Well, I think that's about it for now. from my irregular blogger world...goodbye 2009! Hello 2010! :)
