Raked Leaves..well tried

Emily and I got bored today so I thought it would be fun to rake leaves. Emily loves being outdoor and it is a way nice today. We had a ton of fun...although it was a lot of work stopping her from eating leaves. I guess next year we will be ready for the big leagues  Great Grandma and Grandpa Brinkerhoff;s house. or at the very least Grandma and Grandpa Rasmussen

Happy Halloween

So Emily is adorable we dressed her in two different costumes this year: A Skeleton

Than I was inspired to dress her as a biker girl so her is her cool biker girl outfit

This year Jason, Emily  and I attended our trunk or treat, but it was kind of a disaster but we took some pictures. Jason had fun playing with Emily and I dressed up like a nerd.

This year Jason and I carved pumpkins Jason turned out pretty cool, but I think mine is awesome because it has a hat. Emily had her own pumpkin it the smallest one of all

Overall we had a blast and cannot wait tell next year when emily can get us some candy!!! I hope everyone had a Happy Halloween

Pumpkin Patch

This year was Emily and my first time to the Pumpkin Patch and Jason decided to take us and we had a blast. We had to take a hay ride to pick the pumpkins. It was an all you can carry. Also after everything was said and done Emily peed on me. Boy does she love her mom.

Guess Who is Mobile

Emily is officially crawling. She decided to skip scooting and go straight to crawling. Everything is a lot more difficult like dressing her, changing her, me eating and pretty much everything else. Here is a video of when she was first starting off.

Sick at the Brown House

zzSo I have started Physical Therapy and I am doing GREAT!! I can now get my knee straight all the way, and I am almost walking normal. (but who really walks normal anyway). Weather here has cooled down a little bit so we are getting to dress emily up in different jackets and it makes her look cute as ever. I guess we did spend a little too much time outside one day, when she was not dressed warm enough so she ended up with a runny nose. So she lovingly gave that to me and I have had the  most viscous cold ever, My ears hurt, my eyes were dry, my nose was running, and of course a cough. I conquered the cold however.

Jason is doing really he has switched shift so he works 5 days a week but shorter days, which allows him to spend more time with me and Emily. He also took great care of me and Emily when I was sick, putting her to bed  and helping me when she would not sleep in the middle of the night.

Emily is still not crawling but is dominating scooting backwards, she can sit up on her own, and now she can even pull herself up to standing. She only pulls herself up when she wants something and most of the time it is my phone or something else I do not want her to have, but here are some pictures of our family.

Grandpa Came to VA/DC

This last weekend my Dad traveled the long journey eastward to meet his granddaughter Emily. Dad's flight was supposed to land at 11:30, so of course it landed at 11:00. So lets just say Jason and I were a little late picking him up, with traffic, construction, and my amazing sense of direction. Once we got home we all went to bed.

The first real day Dad was here he took Emily on a run with him. When they came back Emily was not in the best mood, but she was still up for picture.

After we all got ready for the day Dad wanted to buy some Virginia stuff, and shoes so we traveled all around Fredericksburg to find him the things he needed. After that we went to the park.  There we walked around the Folf course.

when we got home we at some pork chops and then played some wii


Saturday we went to DC. That is right everyone I drove northbound to springfield and then from their we went on the metro. We walked all around seeing the different site and taking a ton of pictures. We decided to head home at 4:30 so we got back on the metro. Once we made it to the metro station I had a little trouble finding our car, I guess i have a horrible sense of direction. We got to the car finally and Dad was hungry and asked me if we could stop. I went on to tell him once we got on the interstate we are not getting off, so he named every restaurant on the way home.

 

 

 

After we got home we had hamburgers for dinner and played some wii

Sunday we went to church and watched some football, and Monday dad went home.

We loved having him here and cant wait tell the next visit, but hopefully Mom comes too. Also sorry about the side pictures just turn your head and they will look prettier
