Just like Mommy

Oops there went the baby..
She is good now, just toss her in there.

That looks good, impulse buying.
Happiest when shopping!!!

Not a country girl





Emma climbed up on this riding mower every chance she got. I convinced Archie to give her a ride on it because that is what it seemed like she wanted. Um, No! This was her reaction, she would only go near it if it was not running. My child who is fearless 99.9% of the time was afraid of the tractor.

White Trash Pool






We bought this pool about 2 months ago when we went to help Kelly and Greg pack their old house, in previous pics you have seen the kids and the cats use it well. This was the last use we got out of it. I spent about 30 minutes blowing it up manually because who knew which box the pumper was in.... Within an hour it looked like it does in the pictures. The kids played for several hours, then we let the dogs have a go at it, then in the trash it went !!
See the picture of Emma splashing in the puddle? Kaylee taught her this. A few days later Kaylee accidentally left the shower curtain out of the tub while showering, made a huge puddle in the bathroom, so guess what Emma did? Started splashing in it of course !!
I was also thinking that some of you might not be familiar with who some of the people in the pictures are. To make a long story short, Arch is older than me by a few years. He has 3 daughters from previous marriages. Kelly is the youngest from the 2nd one. She is around the same age as me, ok she is 3 years older, lol. Kaylee and Colby are her kids, so technically they are my step grand kids, no I am not grandma just Rae-Rae.

Slip and Slide















While bargin hunting at Kohls, Kelly found this slip and slide for a couple bucks. The kids played on it for several days. We did not follow the directions and put it on a hill, all three kids had so much more fun. If you know me well you know especially when it comes to Emma I am all about safety but hey you only get to be a kid once right? And yes she decided bare was the way to go !!!

Splash Park and Playground of Dreams

















I took Emma, Kaylee, Colby and cousin Rilee to the splash park and playground. I thought this park was more of a "misting"park so I didn't take suits or towels. By the time I had finished putting on Emma's water shoes all 3 other kids were soaked thru. Good thing it was 90 degrees outside! They all had a great time.

Our Soccer Stars














Kaylee has been playing soccer I think since she was 4, Colby started then too. They both love it and have so much fun playing. Here are a few pictures of their games during mine and Emma's visit. I also included a video of Colby scoring a goal.

If you have spent any time with Emma you know the 3rd picture she is making the kitty clap, like she does to everyone and then of course the kisses.
