Smiles

Emmy's first smiles.

Harvest Fest Cedarburg

Oh how I love our little town. They have the best festivals. This was the Wine and Harvest Festival.

Our best buddies Madie and Kenzie

Emmy was there and as good as ever!

Mad Hatter hats that the girls made.

Sister photo shot

When Kate was born I got Lilly a big sister sister shirt. So this time she really wanted a BIGGEST Sister shirt. Those are hard to find. So I ended up make these shirts. I love the way they turned out. The girls loved that they all matched.

Baseball

I have never been much of a baseball fan but I have found it is much more interested to watch a game live rather than on TV. Ryan's clinic at school goes to a game every fall together. I am going to miss going to Brewer games. Emma is the best baby. We have dragged this girl every where and she has done great!

Lilly's first day of Preschool

Well my baby is growing up! Lilly was so excited for school this year. She is attending a private Lutheran School. I love how she always comes home talking about Jesus.

She wanted a picture in front of her cubbby.

Lilly with her best buddy Miles. She has already told me she is going to marry Miles.

These are two of Lilly's buddy from last year (Henry and Josephine). She was very excited that they were in her class this year.

Incase there was any doubt.... I am crazy!

On August 13 we decided to pack up and head to Utah. I am not sure why we felt we must go but we did feel that we must go. Emma was just 12 days old. We pack the car and set out for the 27 hours car trip. We drove (or Ryan drove) straight through the night and made it safely to Utah for Sunday dinner at my parents. It was so great to see family and introduce them to our new little Emmy.

Lilly and Madie are the best little cousin friends. They just squealed when they saw each other.

Let the crazy times begin!

Grandma Lois had a magic rabbit that would hide and the girls had a blast find him in different places in the garden.

Lilly had been wanting to see the "Utah Temple" as she calls in. (Salt Lake Temple) So my brother Cody and his family joined us. Madie in Lilly were in heaven to be together.

Sweet little Cash and Kater.

Uncle KC met us after work. It was so fun to be with my brother and their families.

As soon as we decided to head to Utah Ryan found a Tri-athlon that he could do there.

This one was at Utah lake.

My hottie husband before the race!

Lilly and Emmy cheering their daddy on!

Ryan did a amazing job! I love my triathlete!

The girls had a blast fishing with Papa!

Swimming at the neighbors.

Always playing. Jump ropes make great Repunzel hair.

My cute nephew Easton

My other cute nephew Cash

And just like that we were packed up and ready to head back to Wisconsin.
