As I pulled out my camera to take pictures of our princess and cupcake for halloween...
I stumbled upon a BUNCH of pictures on my camera from September and October! I think I've become a little too reliant on my phone for taking pictures lately. But it was fun to find these...
from the pumpkin festival...
and Ackerman farms...
and more from Branson...
There were some fun ones in there...I think my favorite was the upward one of the girls in their swim suits :) :) :)...hopefully they won't hate us later for posting that!!
Aaaannd, back to pictures from my phone...because at this point, pictures are driving this blog ;).
Emma got a haircut a couple weeks ago...and I'm talking like at least 3 inches off!! She has such thick hair with lots of body and so I was finding myself constantly trying to put it up and "do" it...which she NEVER was a fan of :(.
before:
and after!
we're both pretty happy about the end result :)
they love this game...
Emma is getting mischievous! I now have to make sure the pantry doors are closed at all times or she'll go in and get a box of cereal...and well, I'm sure you can guess the rest of the story...
a few other of her favorite activities are clearing the coffee table and emptying cupboards...
and she was not so sure about Kevin the last time we had him over either!
To give her a little slack, she has been cutting her top 4 teeth the past 2 weeks. She's not been too fussy, just a little more needy and emotional than the usual Emma we know!
Since going to get haircuts, Livie has now found a new passion...doing my hair :). Blowdrying it, combing it, "curling it", whatever she can imagine. It's actually pretty relaxing for me too :) and keeps her busy for awhile!
And another of her passions continues to be hoarding things...which I'm trying really hard not to encourage!! Here she is with her current pile of things that she keeps in her bed "so Emma can't get them". Oh my. There has to be at least 20 things there...and you had better believe that she KNOWS them all and can tell if one of them is missing!! For awhile she would insist on carrying them with her around the house...but we put an end to that by placing a box beside her bed for them so she at least wouldn't have to carry them around. It's brought about a lot of conversations on selfishness, sharing, and not storing up treasures here on earth...but I think we have a way to go yet :).
Liv and Obie
Emma had to sneak in on this pic ;)
And we have a new nephew!! Crosby James was born to Justin and Katie just over a week ago. He is the 15th grandchild on Chad's side...and SO cute.
And that's all for now :). See you again when I have about 50 more pics! I'm kinda kidding...
