Jeremy Ranch

Our yearly trip up to Jeremy Ranch this year was actually really fun. Usually we are cracking the jokes about going up the canyon 15 minutes to "watch TV". We think it is so lame, and usually don't call it a vacation. But I have to admit this year was great. The sleeping conditions were rough, but other than that we enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. In the evenings it would cool off so we enjoyed evening walks and nightly hot tub trips. ahhhh!!!

Emmi loved swimming, feeding the fish, saying "hi" to the moose, being with kitty 24/7, waking up to Grandma and Grandpa, and eating like a queen. Ella, Emmi's best friend even came up for the day to go swimming. Wow, was that a treat!!! Here are a few pics of the week.

MY NEW HOBBY!!!

I signed up for an online card sending service. It is the coolest thing I've seen in quite a while. I have always sent thank you cards, baby congrats, birthday cards, etc., but it is so expensive to buy the card and then take the time to write and get it into the mail. Now I can do it for all occasions easier, faster and for less money. There are thousands of cards to pick from or you can even design your own card with your own pictures. SWEET!

If you want to try the system you can click on this link and you can send a couple of cards on me. It is really easy and just plain fun. Send out a spontaneous card to someone you are thinking of right now. You will be surprised how good you feel keeping up with family, friends and coworkers. Let me know what you think. I am so excited to keep in better contact with other people and I hope to inspire others to do the same.

BEST FRIENDS

EMMI and ELLA

Two peas in a pod

Ella lives up the street and Emmi says they are best friends. We ask Emmi who her best friend is and she says, "Ella". (Grandma Jill taught her that one) Wow have these two had a blast this summer together. They share everything, and play almost everyday. Ella is six months older than Emmi, but I can say that Emmi sure tries to keep up with Ella. Things they love to do together:

swim
wagon rides
park adventures
share sippy cups
eat snacks
play with each others toys
talk jibberish and say each others names over and over

What would we do without AVOCADO!!

To make Emmi happy all you need to do is give her an avocado. Don't try to take it away or you will see some serious attitude.

We are just grateful that avocado is available all year round. What would we do without AVOCADO! SHE IS IN LOVE!
