emma at the park!!

before it turned into monsoon season around here, emma loved going to the park down the street from our house! of course we feel the need to capture every little thing she does on film so here are some pics and videos for y'all to enjoy...

this is of course one of emma's famous faces! 

honestly, i don't know where she gets all this drama?!?

she LOVES the slide!

her favorite mode of transportation these days!!

raggedy emma!

emma was raggedy ann for halloween this year! my mom made the costume, of course, and it was beyond great!!  the youth group had a party up at the church, "fall thing" and emma was the life of the party! she was such a good sport- she kept her hat on the whole night!! 

thanks mom, for the cutest costume ever!!!!!

the cherry's got emma her own little "trick-or-treat" bag!!

checkin' out her goodies!

she's so curious about everything

raggedy ann with her own raggedy ann dolly!

finding this ball was accompanied by emma's famous, " oooooh"

steve was dressed up as a nerd for the "fall thing" at the church!

she loved the pumpkins

here's the video i took right after we put her in her costume- 

she was so cute i could hardly stand it!!

random photos

here are a few random pics taken of emma this last week! the first two are of her playing peek-a-boo (one of her favorite games)!!!

a pumpkin for our pumpkin!

for a bit of festive fall fun, we carved pumpkins!! emma's adoptive grandparents out here (lloyd and barb cherry) have been so great, lovin on us and little emma! lloyd grew emma her very own pumpkin- he was so proud:) so here are some pics of the pumpkin party!

so adorable...

i stole this picture from shane and ann's blog because it was too cute! this is my nephew wyatt (he just turned 3 a couple of months ago.) i just think this picture is classic- it should be in a magazine or something, "world's cutest redheads"!!!

cutie patootie... is that how you spell that?!?

emma loves her new little princess mobile she got from gi gi and papi! 

and the other pics are just kind of random but super cute!

happy birthday emma

here are a few pics of our little sweet pea at her birthday party! we had a few families here that have been amazing in helping make our transition as smooth as possible and we had steve's fam on the webcam (gotta love that technology!) i will post more as i get them downloaded onto my computer! enjoy...

doing a little twirl!

washington adventures

wow... it's been a while! sorry about that but life has been crazy busy here! i'm quite behind on my posts but here are some recent pics of this past weekend. one of the pastors from the church invited us to a family lake house so we went on saturday and had a BLAST! i rode on a wave runner for the first time and can't believe i've waited this long to ride one. i admit i was a little nervous at first but after a while i was going a little crazy, even keeping up with steve!! emma had such a great time in her little float and then in a raft with steve! enjoy...


















these other pictures are from our backyard. we put out a tarp and the sprinkler and it was like a slip and slide- she was loving it!
