Random stuff from January

This is completely out of order but I forgot to post about the great time we had at the Monster Trucks this year. My dad used to take my sister and I (and sometimes our friends) to the Monster Trucks EVERY year. This is a fun tradition that my dad has shared with us for a long time and something that I looked forward to each year. Well this year was Emilys first time to go. I knew that it would either turn out great or be a total disaster. So, we drove separate! She was really nervous for the first 10 minutes and I was beginning to think that this was going to be a waste but she pulled it together and really got in to it. She loved rooting for the different trucks to win and even came home with her own Grave Digger (which she calls Grave Tigger :-) truck. We ended up having an excellent night and she can't wait to go back next year.

The night was filled with LOTS of junk food- YUCK (and she got the stomach flu that very night)

My dad and Emi had the best time together that night




Matts friend, Ryan, happened to be there with his family. He dressed up for the occasion :-)


Grammy and Papa brought over dinner the other night. She thought it would be fun to have Emily make the pizzas by hand. She did a really good job and the pizzas were delicious!



I walked outside the other day to find Emily and Matt making a 'rock' climbing wall in the garage. He tied some rope at the top of the cabinets and Emily was climbing up the stacked tubs. They have such an imagination.....
