Emmys 1!!!

Today Emmy turned One!! We had a big party to celebrate. She has gotten more presents and more toys than I know where to put. LOL Both sets of her Grandparents showed up. Her Aunt Amy, Daren, and Cousin Joslyn....Dave, Sheri, Matte, Jeremy, and Becca.....Tony (Rich's friend).....Jackie, Lacey and her new boyfriend (Jackie is my dad's cousin we are all really close...at least to get together and we like to spend time together)...Uncle Riley. It seemed to be alot more people in our small house. We started to unwrap Em's presents out front of the house and it started to rain. Luckily we were under the tree when it started so we had some time to go ahead and unwrap them. Then the rain got to be too much, so we all had to go inside. She has alot more clothes now also. Karen got Emmy some new bibs and they are adorable!! My parents got her a leap pad thing that grows with her that I had asked for. LOL...I really cant name all the presents as it would take forever and would be a bore to read about. She was so happy today. She had everyone around her that loves her. (at least in KC area) She didnt really make a mess of the cake like I thought she would but oh well less to clean. All in all it was a great day. Karen cleaned my kitchen for me! She is such a sweetheart. I really like her. I'm glad that she is my mother in law and that we get along so well. Anyways I'm gonna go and see about waking up alittle girl.

Waterfalls

This water fall is called Bridal Veil Falls. If you cant already see the reason why. LOL It was a 2/3 mile walk down a steep incline. But we both had fun going down and going back up. Em even had fun.

This waterfall is called HorseTail Falls. We pulled over and took some pics of it. The fall wasnt all that far away from the side of the road so we didnt have to go hiking to see it.

This beautiful water fall is called Mamoth Water Fall. Its beautiful. We didnt go up on the bridge but we almost did. Next time I go out I'm gonna go up on the bridge. My Grandpa made this trip with us. As you can tell Emmy really loves her Great Grandparents. She loves to pull on her Great Grandpa's "LEASH"!! He is the perfet billboard of why NOT TO EVER SMOKE!!!

I cant remember the name of this water fall. Grandma, Em and I hiked down to take some pics. Em and I even stood near the falls and my pants got wet. LOL

This is one of my favorite pictures. This one is of Bridal Falls. I even climbed out on the rock so my Grandma could take a pic of me out there. Needless to say I'm glad I can climb. LOL

This waterfall was taken on our way up to Mt. Hood. It was on the side of the road and I thought it was beautiful. Needless to say my Grandma was kind enough to pull over so I could snap a couple pictures of it.

These are just some of the pictures that we took at the diffrent waterfalls. We took alot more pictures than these but these are the only ones that I'm gonna post. If you want to see more please let me know. I have alot more pictures to put up but these are just the waterfalls.

Em and I had a blast out there. I really cant wait to go out there again. Maybe this time I will surprise them and not let them know when I'm comming. Even though that would make it hard for my Grandma to get off work. Decisions Decisions...LOL

OUR TRIP!!

Our vacation was awsome! This is one of the many falls we went and saw at Mt. Hood. It was a tiny one but it was really cool looking. I had to take lots of pictures of all the falls and everything else! My grandparents spoiled both of us soo bad. I actually know what sleeping in is again. LOL Em and I spent 8 days with my grandparents. My grandmother dooted on my daughter. She even taught her how to nod her head yes. They had more fun. It was fun to see my Grandma crawling on the floor chasing my daughter! Em had more fun there than I have seen in along time.

This is my Grandma and Em playing the organ. My grandma plays it ever third time at church. My grandpa on the other hand had a great time with Em. She made him laugh alot. I dont think he has really been doing all that well. I know a couple of times out there he didnt go with us cus he didnt feel good. It worries me to see him in the shape that he is in.

This is a picture of all three of them at a house. I would tell you the name but as I'm bad with names I cant seem to remember it. We went everywhere that we could in the alotted time that I had out there. It was so much fun. We went up to Mt. Hood and played in the snow. Then we went up the gorge to see all the waterfalls. I have some really good pictures of them. We went to a park nearby that Em met some friends at. And of course we went to the ocean!

I also got to see my cousins. I cant beleive that they are as old as they are. LOL time flys when your not around people that much. Nichole is now driving. Both of my cousins adored Em. Erika fed Em alot. They both made her a paper tiara. LOL My uncle Steven took me out to wine taste. It was kool even though I only found two wines I really liked.

Anyways I think that is all that I can do for now. I will have to write more about it later and post more pics. Maybe even video or something. LOL laterz
