Day 151: Feet

Jason and I was playing around with Emerson today and I started to tickle his feet. Then I realized how big his feet have gotten. I can't believe how big he has gotten in such a short time.

Day 150: Favorite seat

Emerson's favorite place to sit is in our desk. He loves to go into it and close the door behind him and just sit in the dark. I think that it is super funny when he does it.

Day 149: Home again

We got to have a final delicious breakfast before we departed the ship today. Then we headed straight home to see Emerson. It was a great cruise--very relaxing!

Day 148: Butchard Gardens

We went to Victoria, Canada (out final port) today. Ever since not making it here on our honeymoon, I have been wanting to go. It was absolutely gorgeous. We went to the Butterfly Gardens and to the Butchard Gardens. Talk about an amazing garden.

Day 147: At Sea

We had a very relaxing day today at Sea.

Day 146: Tracy Arm Fjord

We cruise the Tracy Arm Fjord today. From morning to early afternoon, we just stood up on the deck and gazed at the amazing views. What an awesome opportunity we got to see such an amazing scene.

Day 145: Train in Skagway

We went to our second port today, Skagway. What a beautiful town. We decided last minute to go on the train ride up the White Pass. I am so glad that we did. It was absolutely amazing beauty. My favrite part was when we passed into Canada and turned our train around. It was just so beautiful up there.

Day 144: Juneau

I made it to Alaska today! We first stopped in Juneau. It was a cute little city. I loved all the beautiful mountainous scenery.

Day 143: Formal Night

Today we spent the day at sea. It was fun not being able to see anything in any direction except water. We had our first formal night in the dining room. I really loved dressing up all cute to go eat.

Day 142: Ship

Today is the first day of our long awaited Alaskan cruise! The ship we are on is the Rhapsody of the Seas. It is huge! I know that it is a fun vacation in store for us!

Day 141: Packing

I spent the whole day packing for the cruise. It is a good thing that Emerson can entertain himself for long periods of time...even though it is not always things that I want him to be doing.

Day 140: Watch

I have been watchless for a few months now, and it drives me crazy to not have a watch. I have been watch shopping for pretty much the whole time that I haven't had a watch, but again I had something very specific in mind. I was looking at the watches at JcPenney and stumbled across the perfect watch! I love it. And it was on sale!!!

Day 139: Pictures

We went and got Emerson's pictures taken today. I think that it turned out pretty cute. It was really stressful because after the first picture Emerson never looked at the camera or smiled. At least he did for one picture.

Day 138: Fountains

Today we spent most of the day over at Magnolia Park. Emerson liked the fountains, but the majority of the time he was wanting to go play on the playground. It is a really bad combination having fountains and a playground with bark. They weren't thinking when they designed that.

Day 137: BBQ Swing

We went to out friend's house for a BBQ today. The hit (besides the food) was the swing. It was pretty much constantly going.

Day 136: Cars

Cars. That is the favorite in our house currently. Everything has to go vroom. It is so fun.

Day 135: Grass phobia

Emerson has a fear of walking on grass. Whenever we get to the edge of grass, he wither just stands there until we pick him up, or he will crawl. Walking is just out of the question.

Day 134: Milk and Water Concoction

Emerson loves to drink his milk at the same time as his water. It is really a common scene seeing him with both his milk and his water at the same time. I think that it is pretty funny.

Day 133: Eyes

Pretty much with out fail if someone comments on how cute Emerson is, they say something about his big beautiful eyes. (Today alone we had 7 people comment about his eyes.)

Day 132: Shoes

I have never been a big shoe person. However, when I got my luggage stole, I had to go shoe shopping to replace my shoes that I have had forever. I actually had some fun shopping for shoes this time, and I think that I chose out some really cute shoes.

Day 131: Little People

We love little people in our home. I think that they are adoreable and Emerson has so much fun lining them up and playing with them.

Day 130: Mom's Day

I had the best Mother's Day today. Emerson bought me chocolates and made me Chocolate Chip Pancakes (all with the help of Daddy). I love Emerson and feel so blessed to be his mom.

Day 129: Piggy Back

We love piggy back rides in our house. Emerson especially loves when Daddy gives them.

Day 128: Broom

Emerson's new favorite toy is the broom. He loves to walk around with it. Also another new obsession is standing by the window and watching the world go by.

Day 127: Center Piece

I have been in constant search for a table center piece that I just love. I had very specific guidelines for what it had to be (which usually means that I will never find it). However, while I was shopping at Down East Home while in Idaho, they had what I was wanting...colors and all!!! I was able to put them on my table today and I LOVE it! (...and best of all is the bowl was free with my purchase and the balls were on sale for only $3 each!!!)

Day 126: Anniversary

Today is Jason and my four year anniversary! We spent the day relaxing and playing with Emerson. It was a great anniversary.

Day 125: Middle of Mess

Emerson is always in the middle of some sort of mess. The mess could be toys, clothes, food, and so much more. But he is always super cute, even though he is making messes every where he goes.

Day 124: Giveaway Winner

I won an apron from Olive Juice and Company while I was in Idaho. Today I got it in the mail. I love my new apron!

Day 123: Coming Home

We had to head home from Idaho today. We are going to miss playing and hanging out with Grandpa Bruce, Grandma Sue and Aunt Julie. We hope that we could visit again soon!

Day 122: Dutch Oven

Grandpa Bruce is an excellent dutch oven cook. He made it for us and some friends while we were visiting. He made us Bacon wrapped chicken, cilantro-lime rice, Mexican Potatoes, and yummy yummy apple dumplings. It was so delicious!

Day 121: Family Pictures

We went out to the Railroad Tracks out in Sugar City to take some family pictures for my mom's Mother's Day gift. I really love this one. It is just so Emerson.
