Aunt Jodie, Jenna, Mommy and I went to Schnepf's Farm in Queen Creek Arizona. Mommy and Aunt Jodie were picture happy but that means there is a lot for everyone to look at! They built a pyramid using hay and then placed pumpkins all over it... Mommy would not let me climb to the top by my self.. She did not want me to fall.
I then got to ride a Choo Choo Train for the first time - I really liked it and wanted to sing "All aboard the Choo Choo Train" (my favorite song).
Then I got to ride a Merry Go Round - My mommy had to stay with me because I was too small to stay on it all by myself, my cousin Jenna rode next to me.
I then went down a really big slide, it was fun and I did it a second time by myself.
Mommy and I were going to sit and wait while Aunt Jodie and Jenna rode the roller coaster, but I really, really wanted to go too and I was the right height so Mommy and I rode too. The first picture is me in the cart with Mommy. The next pictures are of the roller coaster with other people riding. I was not sure if I liked it but when we were done I wanted to go again!
Then I rode the Bumble Bee with Jenna... We went around and around and up and down. 
We then had lunch and took our picture as monsters!
Then I got to pet the animals, I was very unsure at first but I met a Billy Goat, some pigs and a Baa Baa Black Sheep.
Emmalee received a package from her Grandma Rosemary and her Grandpa Al. She thought it was the greatest thing! Below is a slideshow to music of all of the pictures we took. She received a puppy dog which she named "Lou" for Louisiana. She also received a lot of "BIG GIRL" undies and she tried to show off her Independence - putting them on by herself. She loved everything she got and can't wait until it is colder so she can wear all of her new clothes
Thank you Grandma Rosemary and Grandpa Al! I love you and miss you!
Love always,
Jill, Rob, Josh, Brad and Emmalee
My Mommy put the table together with my help - I found it really neat to break all of the styrofoam apart and into really little pieces. Then my Aunt Jodie came over and helped put the two chairs together... I wanted to help more so I took ALL of the stickers off. I even had to climb under the table to get to some of them.
Then we moved it into my Mommy's computer room so when she is working on her computer I can sit at my table and work on my stuff!
I really like my new table - It even has a drawer that I can put things in. My mommy doesn't always agree but I think I need to have all of the things that my mommy has in her desk drawer in my drawer!
Tomorrow, October 6th is Emmalee Rose's 2nd birthday and we want to wish her the best day ever! Emmalee you have brought so much love and joy into our hearts, family and home!

We love you - Love always, Mommy, Daddy, Joshy, Bradley, Papa Jim, Nana Phyllis, Aunt Jodie, Jenna, and James!
October 4th we had Emmalee's 2nd Birthday Party! We had it at Papa Jim and Nana's because we thought it might be warm enough to swim - it turned out to be an overcast day with a threat of rain. We had a house full and it was great!!! Emmalee was a little shy at first but it did not last long. We had pizza, pizza, and more pizza... then it was time for Emmalee to open her presents! She has said she wanted a fish or a Nemo for several weeks now so her Daddy, brothers and I got her a Little Mermaid Fishtank with a Beta fish that she has named "Nemo". It was sitting on the counter next to her with a towel over it... she finished eating and decided she wanted to know what was under that towel... she that it was really cool that there was a fish there but I don't know if she really understands that it is her fish!!! We shall see when we get Nemo moved to her bedroom. After finding and opening Nemo, Emmalee decided it was time to open all of the gifts! She received some wonderful presents and she enjoyed showing them off to everyone!
After she opened all of her presents she wanted to go outside and play with the big kids. They all went out front and played football, keep away, boys against girls..... Even Daddy got in on the fun!!! Emmalee was not real happy when her Brother Bradley got tackled, it looks like she was in on the tackle but she actually was trying to pull everyone off of her Bradley!!! She then had to go check in on her brother Josh and make sure he was okay.... as you can see most of the presents she received are in the stroller she received - she is still pushing it around today!
We called everyone one in and had some cake.... Everybody sang Happy Birthday to Emmalee which was a little overwhelming - she did great.
Then after she enjoyed her cake and wore it ear to ear... she even shared with her Uncle Dennis Senst (can't wait to see those pictures) her Daddy checked to make sure there wasn't any cake left behind her ears.
Thank you to everyone who was able to come and share in Emmalee's 2nd birthday and we missed those who were not able to be here!!
